The packaging for the Kingston HyperX Cloud II is a very high quality and is surprisingly large too.

The sides, back and front all break down different features of the headset, including its virtual surround sound, noise cancelling microphone and the fact that you can swap out the earcup cushions if you prefer a fabric over leatherette.

There are quite a few little extras with the Cloud II headset, including the set up and warranty leaflets. There is the flexible boom mic and a two pronged audio splitter, as well as a fabric carry case with draw string and side pocket for accessories.

And to top it off, there is a pair of replacement velour earcup pads, giving you the option between fabric and leatherette.

  1. Don’t agree with a con being that the connection should be on the right. That is completely down to the preference of the user. For me, having it on the left is more convenient as it is not dragged across my body.

    Always the error with the “7.1 virtual” isn’t as good. Yes it is in headphones.
    Headphones with several speakers are ALWAYS crap and useless. They cannot separate the sound properly and in fact end up worse.
    Virtual dolby headphone is far superior. It provides perfect 360 degree sound field with no gaps. So I don’t know what this person is talking about, either he never listened to it or set it up wrong. It’s SO annoying.

  3. This is the umpteenth time I have found a review praising this headset, went by all of the overwhelming positivity. Can someone tell me why no one has mentioned a lot of the day 1 headaches with the usb dongle causing the sound to pop and crackle?
