#Kingston HyperX Cloud II specs

Kingston was off to a great start on their first venture into the gaming headset segment when they unveiled the first HyperX Cloud. Needless to say, they’re trying to ride the momentum with their second gaming headset – the Kingston HyperX Cloud II. Design and Construction The HyperX Cloud II shares a lot in common with its predecessor. Clone or not, this is not necessarily a bad thing since the first HyperX Cloud’s design and build were pretty outstanding, something that’s almost unheard off for a sub-$100 gaming headset. The HyperX Cloud II’s headband is wrapped in leather that’s bound on each end with red stitches that complements the red-and-black theme of the headset. These pieces holds the exposed wires for each of the cups that house the HyperX Cloud II’s 53mm drivers. One of the things that we like about the first HyperX Cloud is the option to switch between two foams for the earcup padding: leather-bound memory foam and micro-fiber foamies. The former is attached to the HyperX Cloud II by default, probably to match the overall feel of metal-and-leather feel of the headphone, but users can easily swap out the other one without breaking a sweat.
