HyperXCloud Flight wireless gaming headphones

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.

Really good sound quality and comfort I would say the exact same as the HyperX Cloud IIs or better. Battery life is enough to go a good couple of days (2-5) without charging. Microphone quality isn't that great according to people I have spoken to while using it, although it sounds okay in my recording software. Overall, worth the purchase, if you want a comfortable wireless headset, otherwise go for a wired one because they are half the price.Edit: After 2+ years of ownership and pretty much daily use, I can say these are excellent and well worth the price if you take care of them. I've had a couple of issues, being my fault, yet the headset has remained strong and almost seems to repair itself.Firstly, I stupidly used them while in the bath and they got very wet, they stopped working completely for a few days, but magically started to work again, although only while being charged. A few days of that and then they were completely back to normal. I believe the quality at longer ranges has gone down now though because it cuts out a lot more than it used to, but then again this is only when I use it downstairs while it's connected upstairs.Secondly, there was one morning I woke up to find one of the ear cups completely detached from the headband and only connected by a few wires. I was concerned it was broken but to my surprise, I just pushed the ear cup back in the hole with the wires and it continued to function like normal.Overall, I am very impressed by the durability, sound quality and comfort of this headset. The range is also very surprising albeit inconsistent. It's connected to my PC upstairs yet it works in most rooms downstairs and even in the garden although it worked very well the first year or so, it now cuts out a lot. If mine ever breaks I will likely purchase the exact same one again.Edit: After 6 years of almost daily use now, these headphones are surprisingly still working fine, with a few compromises. I'm only just now considering ordering replacement ear pads, as they have completely worn down, which is to be expected after this much time. Also, both ears have broken the plastic holding them up, meaning technically they are just being held up by the wires, to fix this, I have simply duct-taped them in position.

Well due to the battery life lasting not as much as i thought, the ease of USB plug and play is great, with amazing Sound quality and the Mic is on point for any games or recording software you use.I would still say these are one of the best i have owned.
