Built for gaming comfort
The HyperX Cloud II is a wired gaming headset designed for long sessions with memory foam ear cushions and a padded leatherette headband. A solid aluminum frame resists daily wear. The closed cup design provides passive noise cancellation to keep you focused on the game.
USB audio control box limits
Virtual 7.1 surround sound and the microphone’s noise-cancellation, AGC and echo-cancellation features only activate when the headset is connected through the supplied USB advanced audio control box. The 3.5 mm analogue connection delivers stereo output without those digital enhancements. Cable length is 3.25 feet, which may restrict movement from a desktop tower.
Check platform and connection needs
Verify that your device offers a USB-A 2.0 port for the control box or a 3.5 mm headphone output for direct analogue use. The headset is compatible with Windows, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Android and iOS. The detachable boom microphone requires the USB box for its digital noise-cancellation functions.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the leatherette or velour ear cushions included in the box?
Both are memory foam; leatherette gives tighter bass isolation while velour feels cooler during long sessions, so swap them to match your comfort preference.
What does the 53 mm driver size mean for in-game audio?
The large 53 mm drivers reproduce frequencies from 10 Hz to 25 KHz at 98 dB sensitivity, delivering clear lows, mids and highs so you hear footsteps and explosions distinctly.
How does the USB-A 2.0 control box enable 7.1 surround sound?
The box provides a hardware-driven virtual 7.1 channel mix with independent volume knobs and activates the mic’s noise-cancellation, AGC and echo-cancellation features when connected via USB.
