HyperX Cloud Flight wireless gaming headphones

Edit: Below I say the headphones conked out after five years because only one earcup was working. It turns out the headphones are fine. It's just that each side has it's own battery (looks like a mobile phone battery) which I saw when I opened the non working ear to see if there was a lose wire.Turns out that the battery in that, right, side had run out but the other side still had some juice. I never experienced that before so I thought it had died.So looks like the headphones are working find. Here's to another five years of use and excellent sound.I bought mine here on Amazon in May 2020 so I've had them for five years.I used them a lot in the first 3-4 years but not so much in the last years as I don't game as much.The right side just died so I'll have to replace the headphones.It's a pity as the rest of the unit is still in great condition after all these years.I would have liked such a product to just keep working fine as long as it doesn't get abuse as there isn't really any moving parts apart from the gimbal of the earcup which might wear the wire out. But I can't complain about the right ear side conking out after such a long time.It's a testament to how much I like this product that I'm considering replacing it with the exact same model. Especially as it's a lot cheaper than it was back in 2020 due to newer models being released.I would have given it 5 stars instead of 4 but I knocked one off for it not just lasting forever lol.Would be happy to recommend this to anyone.

I've had many gaming headset over the years from cheap to fairly expensive. Having gone through a stage of buying cheaper headsets because of expensive ones breaking quickly.. And being tied to this CABLE.. I thought IT'S TIME FOR WIRELESS! Getting the wire snagged on something, not being able to move freely, having limited range, wire connections points deteriorating with constant use then the connection failing.. WERE THINGS I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF!So i looked around, researched a few things and took a punt of the HyperX Cloud Wireless headset. And oh my! HAPPY DAYS!First thing they fit great, clamped but for me ( I have a large head) .. perfectly clamped, no excessive pressure and sitting nicely on the skull. Used them already for a 10 hours game session.. amazing. Very minor fatigue on my ears and head, nothing that taking the headset off for 10min didn't fix.Now the second most important thing in my book, The connection and sound quality... Here it excels too.. I tried bluetooth headset but on PC the connection has always been dodgy, they cut out and you get audio desyncs. These connect and you have a strong connection with no drops at all, the range is so much better too.. works pretty much all around my small house.. more than enough for me. The sound quality obviously not going to be the greatest compared to very expensive wired headphones but for wireless i must say i'm impressed, overall the sound quality is very nice, everything sounds as it should be without being to excessive, this includes the volume level too. It reaches a decent loudness but they aren't extremely loud.. something i would have liked for music.Which brings me to the battery life.. It's best feature!... With the red LED logo off the battery life is simply amazing..stated 30hrs at 50% volume.. I've experienced easily two days gaming PC and PS4, watching films and listening to music.. and it still had plenty of charge.. It charges fairly quickly too so battery life is never really a problem (and with that great battery life would have been nice to have a little more volume).. The mic obviously isn't the greatest being gaming and wireless.. but for what it is.. people have said they hear me loud and clear.. Probably it's weakest feature but it's adequate enough. The software is simple and effective, easily see battery status, only niggle would be nice to see the % will charging which is doesn't do. I used it with the wire connected to my PS4 controller and it works great with my console, works with smartphone too but only wired mode.So my overall impression after a week of hardcore usage. Out-bloody-standing! They are a joy to use i absolutely love them. Going wireless was the right move, the freedom of movement is extremely satisfying! These are exactly what i wanted and more. If you want a wireless gaming headset i would definitely put this in your contenders list.. Some of it's features are first class.If anything does go wrong i will be back to amend my review... If not ... They're good.I will be now getting the HyperX QuadCast™ standalone desktop microphone too as that has also had glowing reviews... And that will solve the microphone quality issue most gaming headset have.

Best headset I purchased feels really comfortable, easy to use and the battery life is Good but the down part about it is that you can't use Xbox with this useless you got the 3.5 audio jack cable

I must admit I was a little bit hesitant in buying this headset after seeing the low ratings on this site. I'm glad that I did some further research to find out about the product as I think the headset is great. There are SO many options around this price range but I've been using the headset for about 3 weeks now and have some observations:ComfortDespite what some of the reviews say on here, this headset is very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I wear glasses and don't feel any discomfort and the headset is quite light considering it's wireless. The top band provides a good amount of padding and the ear cups fit nice and snug. Your ears can get sweaty sometimes but I think this is the same for all headsets with this type of material. The ear cups can also be twisted so is very comfortable if you need to take your headset off.Sound QualityThe sound of the headset is very clear and is especially good for competitive gaming. I find it easy to hear where enemies are located and shooting from in games like PUGB which I didn't have with my previous Steel Series headset. The bass on the headphones is punchy but not too overbearing and is perfect for listening to music around the house. There is a volume control on the side of the headphones which allows for precise volume changes. The only issue I've had with this is sometimes if I am taking the headphones off or adjusting them, I do occasionally change the volume.Range & SetupThe range on the headset is also impressive, I can walk down a flight of stairs and almost out into the garden before I start experiencing connection issues. The setup was very simple. Just plugged the USB dongle into my PC and it automatically picked and set the headset as the default device.Battery LifeI've not done a specific test to see how many hours I get out of a full charge, but I normally wear them with the ear cup LED enabled (this can be changed from ON, to breathing, to off by pressing the power button). I use the headset for 2-3 hours a day and have to change it maybe once a week.MicrophoneThe microphone is the only thing I'm a bit disappointed with as it took some adjusting to get right. I find if you have the microphone not even that close to your mouth, it picks up a lot of breathing so I have to move it quite far away from my face which means if I'm talking quietly I can't always be heard. I think the additional of a pop filter over the microphone would improve this.SummaryAll in all I think the headset is a really good bit of kit. I can't explain how nice it is to go from constantly getting tangled in headphone wires to simply being able to move around at your desk without any issues. The build quality of the headset is of a high stand and is generally an all round headset. I would like to see some improvement to the microphone and also the introduction of some software where you can control the audio and microphone settings. There is also no way to see how much charge is left on the headset, it will just start to beep when it gets low but there is no way to tell specifically how much charge is left.
