HyperX Cloud Flight 2 Wireless Gaming Headset

Just buy these headphones, seriously

First off, please download hyperX's ngenuity app. headphones must be connected with the dongle included to use the app, wont work with Bluetooth. Most of the people say the headphones sound decent out of the box but using the PC app adds so much depth to these headphones and please mess with the EQ sliders, exceptional sound and very good sound levels! i keep them around 30 on windows and sounds very loud. Second, downloading the app allows you to turn off the auto shut off feature. on to the fit, i have a pretty big head and most headphones hurt. These slightly squeeze my head and ill probably be looking for replacements for the ear cups as they are a tad bit uncomfortable but i normally change all my headphones ear cups to gel cooled ones so I'm hoping that helps. Mic quality is great with the app. They have tons of different profiles and other tools to make the mic sound exactly how you want. amazing value at $99 during the time of this review but i would still buy it at original price. light weight headphones that can be worn for long periods of time. For people that don't have the app or want to use it on consoles. THIS DOES NOT CONNECT TO XBOX. The app allows for a hardware setting meaning any setting you set on the app will be downloaded to the headset and will keep them to use on console and no longer need to connect to the app. overall great headset with tons of battery life and increased value when paired with the ngenuity app. out of the box great headphone and a must buy! attached are the settings to turn off the auto off feature and a preview of the customizable EQ settings.

So far so good

Gotta say I’ve had a lot of gaming headphones over the years but these hyperx have to be one of the best so far and they didn’t break the bank …

Flimsy and Light. Terrible receiver range.

My audio engineering friend had gifted me a HyperX Cloud 2 wireless headset, which was an amazing headset until my cat chewed through one of the small exposed cables by the ear cups.

I wanted to stay with HyperX since I liked the previous headset so much, however the Cloud 2 and 3 wireless do not come in white. I'm redoing my gaming room, and I'm trying to get all my pieces in white, so I decided to give these wireless HyperX Cloud Flight 2s a shot.

Pros:

- They are wireless, and stay charged all day and night through long gaming sessions.

- They come in white.

- Sound quality is good, at least to my untrained ears.

- They don't have the aforementioned exposed cable, so good for folks with naughty kitties.

- Ear cups are fairly comfortable.

Cons:

- They are crazy light, and fall off my head constantly if I take a drink or bend forwards. And the earcups sometimes shift forwards/backwards if I turn my head too abruptly.

- The headband is made of really flimsy plastic, and doesn't always stay in shape, especially after you've been wearing it a while and it warms up.

- The receiver has terrible range and constantly cuts out. I lose connection leaving this room some times, and I am almost guaranteed to lose it if I go downstairs. Whereas my HyperX Cloud 2s could keep connection even outside, up to a house over, to my mailbox on the corner.

- It seems to have a built-in microphone in the headset itself, and I'm not referring to the detachable mic arm, because my friends were able to hear me clear as day without the microphone even attached. Which, to be honest, I find super creepy, especially since every time you turn the headset on, the microphone automatically turns on too.

Sidenote:

- I cannot really attest to the sound quality of the microphone, because I didn't use it very much. I tend to use a separate streaming microphone a majority of the time.

All in all, I'm not a fan, and will be returning these.

Nothing good about them.

Terrible sound. Literally worst fps headset on the market has to be. You’re literally buying these for the leds that’s it. Other then that they’re terrible !!!

A Compelling Gaming Headset

Initially, I thought that I was going to recommend upgrading to the Cloud III headset, but after a good amount of time with the Cloud II Flight I have changed my opinion. There are quite a few features that make this headset equally, if not more compelling piece of kit. From the excellent tuning, to the fold flat design, the Cloud II Flight holds it's own in ways that I did not expect.

One of the features I did not expect to be so important was the rotating ear cups. The ability to fold these headphones flat is fantastic for both portability and storage. This has led to me using this headset far more than it's more expensive counterpart. The ability to stow this in my backpack has made this more likely for me to grab this set when traveling as well as for day trips.

Build quality of the Cloud II is excellent for the price. They use high quality plastics with metal for the adjustment bands. The padding on the headband is not as premium as the Cloud III, but it is more than enough, and rarely has given me any issues. The earpads are protein leather which is great for isolation, but I personally would have preferred a mesh style pad to reduce heat build up. This can be minimized by taking a break every hour or so, but I do feel a little sweaty if I don't air my ears out occasionally. The headphones also have RGB on the cups which is more of a preference thing, but it can be turned off to minimize the impact on aesthetics and extend battery life.

Battery life of these headphones is exceptional. Even with extended use, I only have to charge these headphones maybe once, or twice a month. Even during long gaming sessions, I have never had to stop what I'm doing and charge them. I would even guess that thee Cloud II has a far longer battery life than my ANC over ear headphones which is awesome. There have been several occasions that I took these headphones as my only set when on vacation due to looks, battery life, and sound. The ability to connect via Bluetooth makes this an easy option as I would not have wanted to connect them via the provided USB dongle. For gaming on my desktop, or laptop, I use the provided dongle which pairs seamlessly and provides the least latency, which is basically none. I did not dive heavily into the software as I haven't felt it necessary with the exception of turning of the RGB. That being said, it is robust and pretty intuitive which is great.

Sound quality on these headphones is great as well. They are not as flat as the Cloud III headphones, but that isn't a bad thing in my opinion. They have a little more of a "V" shape which has been excellent for engagement for music, videos, and gaming. I did not have any issues with sibilance, or with the timbre sounding wonky or out of place. I would just describe them as more fun while still remaining balanced and well tuned. For the price, I feel that the Cloud II presents a strong value.

Mic quality is also quite decent. I traditionally use an audio interface with an XLR mic at home which does sound better than the provided mic, but that does not mean that this mic is lacking. It is far better than the inline mic on my wired IEMs and I have had no issues with clarity or intelligibility when gaming or on Zoom calls. The ability to unplug the mic when not in use means that this headset can be used for casual listening to music and movies without looking awkward, or out of place. Again, for the price, you are getting a headphones that are both versatile and functional.

I can easily recommend these headphones for those looking to spend under $100 while still remaining high quality. If you're in the market for a versatile headset that can work in a broad variety of scenarios, then the HyperX Cloud flight II should be at the top of your list.

Disappointed for the price point.

Battery life is great, sound and mic quality are average, but the fit is just horrendous. If I look up or down with this headset on, it will just slide right off my head. It's also just extremely flimsy. Good sound quality doesn't matter too much if you can't keep the headset on without staying as still as a statue. My first expensive headset I ever bought was a razer kraken, solely for the glasses comfortability feature. I didn't think that feature would matter too much now, assuming that most expensive headsets would most likely have that feature built in already, but I was very wrong. Unfortunately my glasses do dig into my head while wearing this headset, so wearing for even a couple hours on end becomes very painful. Overall I'm just disappointed with how much I spent, and how I expected much better quality. Not worth it if you get overstimulated easily or get irritable easily. It's only a few days into wearing this and I already want to break ts every time it slides off my head.

Great. Comfy. A bit muffled.

Great, very comfy to use. Sound is a bit muffled compared to my previous Cloud Flight, easily fixable with a sound device manager like Equalizer APO software. Mic is definitely better but can be enhanced by Equalizer APO too. Battery still at 70% after 4 days of use with no LED function. Cable brinded is able to use for fast charge phones

Maybe the Most Comfortable Headset Ive Ever Used

If you're in the market for the best feeling most comfortable Headset on the market then get this one. In addition to being crazy comfortable these also have brilliantly colored RGB lighting on each earpiece. You can wear these for 24 hours or more and you forget they are on. The sound is also absolutely perfect. In the past I've always had trouble finding the perfect headset but this HYPER X Cloud Flight 2 is the closest . You absolutely cant go wrong with this setup. You can also remove the microphone if you dont need it. This will work with Bluetooth and also comes with its own USB C transmitter with USB A adapter.

Good audio and noise reduction

These are a good headset. The sound quality is nice and clear, and the noise cancelling is noticeable as soon as you put them on, and with something playing through them, it cancels out quite a bit of the background sounds. The battery is also pretty good, but once it starts dying, it does fairly quickly. Overall, these are really great, but, for the price, I had honestly expected more... better noise cancelling, more comfortable fit, and better battery life. None of those things are terrible or deal-breakers, they just could be better.

Comfortable, clear sound, and reliable

I loved how comfortable these headphones are, even after wearing them for long periods of time. The sound quality is clear and immersive, and the wireless connection works smoothly without interruptions. They’re easy to use, feel well made, and the battery lasts long enough that I don’t have to worry about charging them constantly.

A top-tier wireless headset

I'm seriously impressed with the HyperX Cloud Flight 2. The battery life is phenomenal – it just keeps going, which is perfect for long gaming sessions or just general use. It's super comfortable, thanks to those memory foam ear pads. For the price, it's an incredible value. The sound quality is excellent. I also love the flexibility of the removable boom mic; it's great for comms, but the internal mic is surprisingly good for a cleaner look. I don't care so much for the RGB on headphones (you can't see it), but its a plus.

Great sound quality

The sound quality is great for games and music, and I can move around freely without any cables. The battery lasts a very long time, so I don’t need to charge it often. The RGB lights look cool and you can change the colors, plus you can take off the earcup plates to make it look different.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

High quality and very comfortable

High quality headset that is expected from Hyperx. The sound quality is good and clear and it was really simple to connect to my PC. The headset is comfortable as well, it's really cushiony. It fit good too and has adjustments for different head sizes. Again it feels like really good quality material and I would definitely recommend this headset if you're looking for one like it.

Very nice headphones. Just worried about puncturing leather

These headphones are pretty decent quality and provides good sound quality. The only issue is the PU leather. The headphones are huge and can easily fit around your ears. The sound does cancel out majority of the surrounding nose. This does help because I have room mates and want to kill the noise from outside my room. The headphones provides pretty clear sound and gives decent gameplay experience. In terms of weight, the headphones are pretty light and the material seems pretty good quality. The frame is not too bad. It does not have mesh or cloth foam for the ear cushions so hair and lint are not attracted to it. I am worried the pu material may crack overtime which can be a bit of an annoyance. The material does make it extremely nice for fitting and comfort. If you sweat though it does rub against your skin and I recommend you wipe it down to avoid cracking. The sound can be adjusted via a volume button on the side. You can turn the headphones on off button so you can switch the headphones on and off. I did find I had to break the headphones in. It can hug your head pretty tightly for a few hours. This device does take a few hours to charge (average of about two to three hours). It lasted me several hours of gameplay. After a few charges, it still holds pretty strong to that number. The charging cable is also pretty long so you do not have to worry about having a short cable but you can use your own cable if needed. It does not have to be the one they provided. The sound quality is really good as well. It has surround sound and you can control the sound on the headphones themselves. The microphone piece can be annoying as the rod gets dirty easily. It definitely picks up my voice very easily and clearly. There is no kind of external wind guard but it does not pick up ambient noise too much. The device is also very easy to adjust in my opinion to make it definitely feel pretty comfortable. The black and red color is great and you do not see the dirty and grim marks as easy. I would still you should wipe it down with a towel or something after every use. Back to the microphone, it can be adjustable to be closer or further from your mouth. It has a clear voice and did not have any issues. You can adjust the sensitivity however you like. The USB dongle is a long piece but not wide so you do not have to worry about it taking up too much usb space. It does have an LED indicator to show if it is connected. The distance from your headset is pretty decent. I was able to go about 15 feet or so before the signal started cutting in and out and this was through walls. Overall hyper does a great job with quality and performance but they need to do a better job on their boxing. I feel the boxes are too fragile and break very easily. Other than that I would say that compared to many other headphones, this one is more a good headset for the price. The quality of the product should make it last for quite sometime. The wireless connection is very strong and the sound quality is AMAZING. It is definitely a product I would recommend for anyone who wants a decently gaming headset.

Comfortable Fit, Tons of Features, and Easy to Use

This is a really solid headset. One of my biggest issues with most headphones is fit, especially since I have a lot of hair. Even when fully extended, many headsets still feel tight or awkward. These don’t. They’re very expandable and actually comfortable on my head, which immediately put them ahead of most others I’ve tried.

Feature-wise, these have just about everything. You can use them with the wireless dongle or Bluetooth, which I really like because you’re not locked into one option. Switching and connecting was quick and painless, about ten seconds, and the voice prompts are genuinely helpful. It clearly tells you things like mic on or off, Bluetooth connected, and other status updates without being annoying.

Sound quality is above average. It’s not at a premium audiophile or Beats level, but it’s more than good enough for gaming, videos, and general use. The removable mic works well, though I personally would have preferred a retractable mic. That said, removable is the next best option and keeps things cleaner when you don’t need it.

I really like the onboard controls. Being able to adjust volume directly on the headset, pause or skip media, and answer calls without touching another device is extremely convenient. The battery features are also well thought out. Pressing the power button once to hear the battery percentage is surprisingly useful, and battery life has been solid so far.

Overall, this headset does some things perfectly, a lot of things very well, and only a few things just okay. What makes it stand out is that it truly feels like an all-in-one headset with no major gaps.

Top Brand, Very Comfortable, Incredible Battery Life and Very Good Sound and Mic.

This is a review for a the HyperX Cloud Flight 2 Wireless Gaming Headset from HyperX. I own a few gaming headset and HyperX is one of my favorites. They really delivered here with the Cloud Flight 2. This is a premium feeling headset. Great padding around the ears and the head. You will feel the comfort immediately. Nice steel headband that can really adjust for a perfect fit. Setup was very easy and I was able to connect to my phone, my TV, my laptop and my consoles with no issues.

The volume control slider on the right side is pretty sweet. I just wish it would stop at its loudest instead of just spinning round and round. I do wish the volume was a little louder, but the sound is sharp. The bass is decent, but not too heavy. Next to no latency and better than most at this price point. The mic quality is above average and I was heard clearly with or without the boom.

The battery life is just amazing. You can get over 100 hours on a single charge if you do not use the changing color system. That is just as good as it gets.

I really like the cool colors on the side and the ability to remove the brand on both ears or keep them on.

This headset is priced really well as it is priced at a beginner level headset for near professional performance. I did have an issue with the online app and getting customization with the color patterns, but that is very minor and hopefully HyperX will update it to include this new Cloud Flight 2 to connect and the color.

Overall, you will be hard-pressed to find a better headset for this price or any other. These feel premium with great functionality and should be durable enough to last years.

Best headset I’ve owned — top quality and amazing comfort

The quality of these headphones is truly top level. They feel very premium, sound great, and are extremely comfortable to wear even for long gaming or work sessions. They don’t press on the head or ears at all.

I’ve owned many different headsets before, and these are definitely the best ones so far — no comparison. Everything feels well-made and thought through.

And the lighting is a huge bonus — it looks awesome and adds a really cool vibe. Overall, I’m very impressed and would absolutely recommend these to anyone looking for high-quality wireless headphones.

Long Battery Life and Comfortable Wireless Gaming Headset

The HyperX Cloud Flight 2 is a solid wireless gaming headset with excellent battery life and comfortable over-ear design. The sound is clear and well balanced for gaming, and the detachable microphone works great for voice chat. I also like the customizable RGB panels, which are easy to swap and give the headset a unique look. Overall, it’s a reliable and high-quality headset for long gaming sessions.

Good headphones

These are good headphones, my son says he wishes it had the little foam thing on the microphone but his brothers are on the other side and they're not complaining. He's able to play a couple hours. No problem without them being plugged in. Even though he still chooses to play on a chord sometimes. We are using it on an Xbox series. And a computer.
