Earlier this year we took a look at HyperX’s Cloud Flight S gaming headset. It was a really good headset and one I still use to this day, but during that review I wondered why HyperX did not make a wireless headset based off their very popular original Cloud and Cloud II gaming headsets. They were some of the most comfortable gaming headsets that I had ever used. Well fast forward to today and HyperX is launching the Cloud II wireless, which has the familiar Cloud design we all know and love, 53mm drivers, custom-tuned virtual 7.1 surround sound, and of course 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity. Is this the ultimate wireless gaming headset? Read on as we find out!
Special thanks to HyperX for providing us with the Cloud II Wireless Gaming Headset to review.
