T wo huge 53mm drivers in the HyperX Cloud II provide excellent sound quality and not just for the price range. The full range of sound is excellent, all the way from the punchy bass through to the clear treble.

Quite a few months have passed since we last reviewed a gaming headset but since we finally got out hands on Batman Arkham Knight we decided to use it with some of the gaming peripherals we have here (along with Battlefield 4, Planetside 2 and Star Citizen) including several gaming headsets.

The Kingston HyperX Cloud II gaming headset are well built and should provide for years of enjoyment. The sound quality is very good for music and movies, and the virtual surround does a good job to simulate that you are in the game.

Attractive styling (even in hot pink and white; High end sound for gaming and multimedia enjoyment; Solid construction; Includes plenty of useful accessories; Two sets of ear pads; one in leatherette and one in cloth; 8 year old daughter finally enthused about something I reviewed

Can't get 7.1 channel surround or use microphone unless using USB adapter; I wish the microphone jack cover was attached to the headphones; so I won't lose it; Would like an adapter to use a sound card's dedicated outputs for surround sound and microphone

First and foremost, the build quality is exceptional. Feels very sturdy and comfortable. I like that it includes interchangeable earphones. The sound is amazing for the price. The 7.1 feature is a nice touch. It's wired and I actually prefer this for gaming as it decreases input lag and static.

Kingston is a leader in the memory and storage market, but the company has recently expanded its product portfolio to more completely cover the gamer's needs.

The hyper X cloud headset really has been a surprising shock to many gamer's. The company's HyperX Cloud II really improves upon its design and features. The result from this headset is a comfortable class of its own, even despite lacking customization and software.

The Kingston HyperX Cloud II aims to offer everything the average gamer would want from a headset. It boasts big 53mm drivers, surround sound processing, and a detachable microphone. It works with all of the major gaming platforms, including PC/Mac, mobile, PS4 and Xbox One (with an adaptor).

Great sound quality; Luxurious finish; Thoughtful extras

Headphone cord doesn't detach; Flimsy carry case

Cloud Stinger by Kingston really does deliver what it promises, lightweight design with few cool features that do not break the bank. When looking at just the sound performance/reproduction of Cloud Stinger it is spot on as well. It is hard to find a good pair of headsets on the budget.

As with everything I purchase I research a lot of reviews from several sources. These headphones consistently were in the top 5 out of all others. The build quality is top notch. As well as the sound quality. They are also very well priced. Buy them and you will not be disappointed!!

This headset is so good in sound. And a wide sound stage. The bass is more balanced and is tight and very well balanced with the mids and highs. The total sound signature is very balanced and very pleasing when gaming, movies and also great for music. Comfort and build is very good.

The comfort is tops; And good overall mic

Its all good
