This solution is great if you want to connect the headset to a USB port on the back of your PC and also use them separately with other devices.
Thus, the total length of the cable goes up to 3m. The standard 1m cable to has a 3.5mm audio jack, but you can plug it into the provided USB audio box which has its own 2m cable. The HyperX Cloud II therefore still has a detachable microphone. Kingston continues to use the tried-and-tested design of the Qpad QH-90. The one good thing about the HyperX Cloud II is that there is absolutely no change in design from its predecessor. Let's find out if the HyperX Cloud II sounds better, and if virtual surround sound actually makes any difference.
We tested it with many different sources of audio including a heavy-duty gaming PC.
The HyperX Cloud II has an additional USB audio control box and can simulate virtual 7.1 surround sound. Kingston has already launched an upgrade and quite unsurprisingly it is called the Kingston HyperX Cloud II. We even recommended it over the more bombastic Asus Strix Pro. Last year's Kingston HyperX Cloud despite being positioned as a gaming headset was well-rounded enough for all kinds of uses.
