I hesitated a little when purchasing this headset mostly because by looking at the box, I wasn’t sure if they would be worth the $$. There isn’t any in store for hands on feel,l. Anyway.. I can assure you that as far as build quality. These headsets are worth the asking money. The headband is very strong and sturdy but comfortable. The parts that connect the earcups to the headband are metal. The microphone is pretty large and the braided cable feels premium. I’ve worn the earcups for about 2/3 hours per gaming session and my ears never really fatigued. The volume knob on the right ear up is in a convenient location. I like the microphone mute button, but I wish it was a little larger. It has a nice click when pressed though. The microphone has a small red LED light that will let you know if the microphone is muted. Sound quality is good. Not the greatest, some effects are a little “tiny” and unnatural sounding with these ear cups. Don’t know if it’s the headphones fault or the games I play. Bass could be better but Explosions and gunfire sound loud and full. I haven’t had an issue with the microphone, my friends haven’t complained of me sounding too low. My favorite part about these headphones is that they can be used with every console and device I own. They “pair” with a 3.5mm headphone Jack, so I can use them with my Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo switch and PC. No finicky software to download, just plug the em in and go! All in all, I think these are a solid and very good sounding pair of headphones and I would recommend them over other headsets in this price range. If you’re looking at $60/ $70 headphones, spend a little extra and grab these. They are worth it.

Excellent quality and sound. Really like the flexible mike - wish it could be put on either side but not a huge deal. Definitely recommend. Comfortable and like the accessibility of volume and mute buttons.

I purchased these headphones in order to have a decent mid range headset. Overall good headset. Excellent mic. Sound stage is acceptable for closed back design.
Plugging in via AUX cable leaves it a little wanting in volume and detail but still usable. Using the USB DAC and installing HyperX's Ngenuity software made a huge difference in quality and options. I found that in certain songs and games sound would get distorted. (edm genre or games with explosions). Unsure if this is the headset itself or the software or hardware.
I ended up buying the Sound Blaster G6 and it can about handle anything that wonderful device can dish out.
Fairly comfortable even with glasses but I feel like my ears got warm after an hour or 2.
If you're looking for slightly better soundstage and not worried about crystal clear mic quality go for the Hyper X cloud alpha for $10 more.

I had just gotten this headset today via online order and I'm really happy with them. ONLY beef I have is that it's not bluetooth, which is what I wanted, but it's able to hook up to my ipad which I like. The adaptor for mobil phone is also the newer version, and I have an Iphone 12 so I'll need to get an adapter of my own, but other than I haven't had any issues. The microphone is crisp and clear, which my friends appreciate when we talk. The headset is also very adjustable and sits well on your head, and so far extremely comfortable. Barely even notice it after a while. I will be ordering a similar version for my father for the PC

Pro:
I've bought many headsets over the years and this has to be the easiest one to get up and going. Plug USB-A and your done. The added benefits are the USB-C adapter, braided cable, strong flexible construction and a small red LED that turns on when you're muted. My favorite part is the mic, which is really well done and picks up everything clearly and is removable if you are that person that prefers an actual separate professional microphone for streaming.
Con:
Don't get me wrong, the sound is great for gaming, you can clearly hear footsteps all around you and you will probably step up your fps stats BUT, there is little to no bass. Some of these AAA titles have amazing range in music, background noise and even the low deep rumble of an explosion that will vibrate your controller but you wont get the same feedback in your ear because again, no bass.
Overall, I do recommend this gaming headset over the previous cloud generations and other sets that HyperX sells mainly because of the upgraded mic, but if you're not using the mic for that particular game, please do yourself the favor and get an actual music only headphone instead.

Picked these up on sale because my daughter said it would improve game play (game: Valorant). She was right! These not only make the game more immersive and fun but give great tactical advantage. Because of the 3D way sound comes through in this headset it is very easy to tell when someone is sneaking up on you and from where. I would definitely recommend these for any gamer (would make a great gift!). Plus they are comfortable for hours, even with my glasses on!

I've had this headset for roughly a month at the time of this writing, and it's been a fantastic headset so far. I got it when it was on sale and I was in dire need of a new headset, but I'd say it's worth the base price regardless.
The quality of the microphone is clear and crisp by default. I had to adjust the volume to be a little higher than the default 100%, as my Discord friends said I was a bit quiet, but it's not an issue. The sound quality of the headset itself is very nice. I didn't have to adjust the tones or anything, but that's my personal preference. There is a volume slider for the headset volume as well as a mute button for the microphone. The only complaint I have is that when I mute in a call, a small crackle can be heard when muting (for other people and myself), but it's not an issue
Very comfortable on my head. The length can be adjusted to your liking, which is helpful. It does look a little small compared to other headsets, but again, it is able to extend to whatever you need. The cord is covered by a cloth material, so it's less susceptible to curling itself up like other wires.
Overall, I recommend this headset if you're not looking to spend a whole lot of money on a new one. It's worth its base price, but is also a steal when it goes on sale.

High quality product for a good price! The mic and audio quality is good. The headset is also very comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time. I did my research before buying and it was definitely worth the money.

I absolutely love this headset. The adjustable microphone works great, the soft padded noise cancelling for the ears and cushioned adjustable headband. I have had a lot of headsets and all have broken except this one. I should have bought the other's at Best Buy.

Hyper x cloud 3's have better sound isolation than the 2's but are not as comfortable. The mix is also less bass heavy which I'm not sure I like. Overall the hyper x cloud 2's are better.

Great corded headset, could have had more sound isolation but, other than that it checks all of the boxes for a good set.
Great audio
Good sounding mic
Rugged
