#HYPER X CLOUD 2 PC#
Its 2.4GHz wireless adapter has a rated range of 20m - much like the Cloud Flight - and it was only when I put a couple of stone walls between me and my PC (which pretty much equates to me walking from the back of my house where my PC is to the front window) that the signal from its USB dongle started to cut out - and that's with several other wireless devices running in various rooms, too. Still, in terms of overall audio quality, I have absolutely no complaints. This is very quickly remedied by pairing it with a longer USB cable, of course, but it's a shame HyperX didn't include a longer one in the box to start off with. The only mildly irritating thing about it is that its bundled USB-C charging cable is very short - just 50cm - which is too short to let you use it at the same time it's charging. Its on-ear volume wheel has a smooth, yet slightly resistant scroll motion that gives you plenty of control over small volume adjustments, and its convex microphone mute button on the back of the left earcup makes it very easy to distinguish from the concave power button that sits right next to it. The Cloud II Wireless is pretty easy to use, too.
#HYPER X CLOUD 2 PRO#
My current budget pick, meanwhile, the Corsair HS70 Pro Wireless comes in with even less at its maximum of up to 16 hours. My current favourite, the Steelseries Arctis 7, is still only rated for 24 hours, for example, while the Logitech G Pro X Wireless only has enough stamina for 20 hours.
#HYPER X CLOUD 2 PATCH#
The Cloud II Wireless has also ditched the Flight's LED lighting, too, which means you now no longer have to compromise the headset's excellent 30 hour battery life for an extra touch of style.ģ0 hours still isn't a patch on the EPOS Sennheiser GSP 370's 100 hour battery life, mind, but it's still pretty good compared to a lot of its rivals. The aluminium frame contrasts well with the matt black ear cups, and it generally feels a lot more upmarket than the similarly-priced Cloud Flight.
HyperX have also improved the build quality of the Cloud II Wireless, opting for a lovely red aluminium frame (and equally lovely red stitching) instead of the swathes of plastic found on the Cloud Flight. It still weighs an identical 300g without its detachable microphone, but its leatherette memory foam headband and ear cushions sit much more easily on my head this time round, keeping the dreaded head pinch at bay for hours. Happily, HyperX's latest wireless gaming headset, the Cloud II Wireless, fixes this problem instantly. If there was one thing holding back the HyperX Cloud Flight from claiming the number one spot in my best wireless headset rankings, it's that it just wasn't quite as comfortable as some of its rivals.
