The HyperX Cloud II is one of the most recommended gaming headsets ever made — and a decade on, the reasons have not changed: 53mm drivers with a warm, clear tuning, the Cloud line’s legendary memory-foam comfort, a detachable noise-cancelling mic, and the USB sound card that adds virtual 7.1 surround on PC. This is the Gun Metal edition, brand new — the headset half the internet learned to game on.
Sound
53mm drivers + virtual 7.1
Big 53mm drivers deliver the Cloud II’s famous warm, detailed sound — footsteps readable, explosions weighty, music genuinely enjoyable. Plug the included USB sound card into a PC and hardware-driven virtual 7.1 surround widens the stage for positional play.
Comfort
The legend is the foam
Memory foam ear cushions and headband on an aluminium frame — the combination that made “Cloud comfort” a phrase. Marathon sessions end because the game does, not because your ears do.
Versatility
Console-ready 3.5mm + USB
Use the 3.5mm jack on PS5, PS4, Xbox controllers, Switch and phones; use the USB sound card on PC for 7.1 and independent mic/volume controls clipped to your shirt. The noise-cancelling mic detaches for music-only days.
Right choice if you…
✔ Want the proven classic, not an experiment
✔ Play across PC and consoles with one headset
✔ Value marathon comfort above RGB gimmicks
✔ Need a clear noise-cancelling mic for team play

Frequently Asked Questions
Cloud II or Cloud III — which should I buy?
The III adds angled drivers, a better mic and native USB-C. The II answers with the classic warmer tuning, the 7.1 USB box and a lower price — and its comfort remains identical in reputation. Both are safe buys; the II is the value legend.
Does 7.1 surround work on PS5 or Xbox?
The virtual 7.1 is driven by the USB sound card on PC. On consoles the headset runs in rich stereo via 3.5mm — which many players prefer for accuracy anyway.
Is the mic detachable and good for Discord?
Yes — it unplugs entirely, and its noise-cancelling pickup keeps keyboard clatter out of your team’s ears. Certified clear for chat platforms since its launch era.
Why buy a decade-old design new?
Because it never stopped being good — HyperX kept it in production for years precisely because the comfort-sound-price triangle held. Sealed new stock, full warranty.
