THE HYPERX CLOUD II

The CLOUD II features the same aluminum body as its predecessor but actually weighs slightly less at 320g.

Again we placed our REVO Wireless headset next to the CLOUD II and as you can see it's not that large (identical to the original CLOUD).

The HyperX logo is again placed on the aluminum exterior of both earcups.

You can't rotate the earcups but they do swivel.

In the original CLOUD the QPAD logo was placed on the microphone cover but that's not the case with the CLOUD II.

The detachable boom microphone is identical to that of the original CLOUD (minus the specs) so it's 150mm long and flexible as you can see from the above pictures (although I’d still prefer a retractable one).

Both cups feature easy to remove large memory foam cushions covered with leatherette.

If you feel that the leatherette cups are too hard for your ear you can use the very soft velour ones.

The headpad also features memory foam covered with leatherette.

You can extend the headband of the CLOUD II a total of 35mm on each side via 7 visible increments (notice that on the original CLOUD the aluminum of the headband was black whereas on the CLOUD II it's red).

The HyperX logo is stitched on the exterior of the headband and again it looks great.

The 3.5mm connector is gold plated.

The 7.1 virtual surround sound USB card has the volume and microphone controls on it and a large button at the center which enables/disables the 7.1 surround sound feature.

At the rear the card also has a shirt clip and as you can see it also has a microphone mute switch.

The USB connector is also gold plated.
