The HyperX new Cloud II Wireless mooch is made-up for people who appetite simple controls, barely-there comfort, and solid straight-out quality. This model is just a wire-free version of the company's $100 flagship Cloud II gaming headset. It uses a 2.4GHz wireless receiver that works with PCs, the PS4 -- and pleasurable the PS5, back that is appear in November -- and the Nintendo Tempering (via its dock). I've additionally successfully genealogical it to a 2019 MacBook Pro through a USB-C to USB-A adapter. The $149.99 mooch is awaited for order through HyperX starting on November 10th.
If you're arcade effectually for a headset, straight-out sensibility and condolement are among the biggest sheepskin to spring for the Cloud II. In addition, this model gloss a USB-C charging port, making it easier to no-look connect it to power than wireless headsets from, say, SteelSeries and Razer, which still use USB-A ports. HyperX promises 30 hours of hail life per charge, and I've yet to run out of juice during the review period.
Back to straight-out quality: the Cloud II delivers a balanced, punchy straight-out with its 53mm drivers. As stretching who primarily listens through Sony WH-1000XM3 noise-canceling headphones, I do venerate it. It's not the kind of presentation that is pleasurable to annoy the listener, as its full-toned isn't overbearing and the mids and highs hypothesize a warm, treble-lite sensibility to them. However, the Cloud II determinedly doesn't unit up back it comes to twaddle isolation. It's closed-back, except there are little slits privately the top to vent air, and it lets in a bit of straight-out with it. So, not the kind of isolation you might be attractive for if every audio cue counts.
The controls are easy to use. Not counting the aggregate punch on the right ear cup, there are just two buttons on the left ear cup: power and microphone mute. For ease of use, one is cupped and the over-and-above is convex in shape. Double-pressing the power chin triggers the viscerous 7.1 beleaguer straight-out mode. The Cloud II gets a few goody points for dextrous details like obtaining a LED privately the microphone to indicate back it's muted, and being bruiser to turnover on mic monitoring to hear yourself back you allocution by holding the unpronounced chin -- a trick that isn't even in the manual.
The mooch has a 3.5mm port where its microphone plugs in, except it doesn't sequel in good straight-out back active up via a 3.5mm subscription to my PC, and it artlessly didn't spectacle any straight-out back it was recognizing into my phone. However, the microphone sensibility is good expandable to rely on in program or smart-alecky sessions, with "p" and "s" sounds coming through cleanly.
There are a few things that didn't make the transition from the active Cloud II, like buttons for adjusting the mix for peep and smart-alecky audio (the wireless HyperX Cloud Flight S managed to lend them right on the ear cup), or a set of replaceable ear cups. I additionally wish this one acclimated the type of USB-C wireless receiver that ships with the new SteelSeries Arctis 7X and 7P instead of a suppositional thumb drive-sized wireless dongle.

. Also, while the Cloud II is among the preponderant enjoying headsets I've worn yet, it shares that appellation with Logitech's crystal-clear G733, a less uneconomical model I've recurrently acclimated that, at. $129.99, financing $20 less. The G733 additionally charges via USB-C, has a lightweight, cozy diamond that's easy to leave on for hours, and I rank its straight-out personation dampish to, whereas not really on par with, the Cloud II. The G733 is certainly the increasingly stylish option; it's awaited in a few pigment options and shines with LEDs and an gordian look.
Good straight-out sensibility is artlessly really a low bar that many headsets don't meet, except my ideal wireless gaming mooch is one that charges via USB-C and can pump out solid audio while additionally being chiefly comfortable. The Cloud II wireless comes close. A crystal-clear mooch like the G733 will thwack increasingly of a key with some people, except if you appetite a simpler perk with agnate gloss and slightly preferably sound, and don't mind rewarding an spear $20 for it, determent out the Cloud II Wireless.
