On the upside, the overall level of the leakage is not too high, making the sound leaking out of these headphones quiet and thin sounding. And while I said the SteelSeries Artcis Pro is more comfortable, Cloud Core has the advantage of being wireless, so it’s not an entirely fair comparison.

They have a decent audio reproduction, and their style is more outdoor-friendly than most gaming headphones. A gift is infinitely better than a promise, and unlike some headsets that manufacturers promise will do it all, the HyperX Cloud Wireless actually delivers, staying on point for audio quality, style and comfort.The award-winning HyperX brand is known for delivering products that deliver superior comfort, aesthetics, performance and reliability. Cloud headsets are optimised for the way you play, and famous for their legendary sound, comfort, and durability. However, they don’t isolate much noise and won’t be ideal for commuting if you do decide to use them with your phone.

In the song Raise Your Weapon by Deadmau5, which has a nice mix of calm vocal sections and bass-heavy dance sections, the headset reproduces the vocals acceptably well, though the higher-end portions sound a little odd.He possesses a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and Media Studies from Griffith University, and his work has been featured in publications such as Game Informer, Pilot, Wine Selectors and PowerUp! Usually I’d go into great detail about the software enhancements that the headset supports but unfortunately for the tinkerers among us, the Cloud Core Wireless doesn’t support HyperX’s Ngenuity software app so there’s no modifying sound settings like volume, EQ levels or checking battery status externally. I’ve been anticipating a wireless variant of the classic Cloud design for over four years, and although the Cloud II Wireless is an excellent headset and one of my favorites, it made enough design improvements and changes to feel like its own new thing.
