Sale! HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset 7.1 Virtual PC/PS4/XBOX (RED) [RE-CERTIFIED]

★★★★★ I must have watched 30'ish YouTube videos and elsewhere, researching what the First Person Shooter pro gamers were buying and why. These were right up there with $150-300 sets in high praise reviews and at 59 bucks re-certified, I bought them. FIVE STARS. This Cloud II set is light, super comfortable and most importantly, they are literally Game Changing! I switch back and forth on the 7.1 surround not only by game but sometimes by each map. Either mode allows you to hear footsteps and tell where they're coming from. The 7.1 makes the sound map seem larger which is good for tight quarter battles like in some Rainbow 6 Siege maps. Other maps in the same game benefit from the 7.1 being off. You'll have to be the judge. GREAT SOUND. I'm not an audiophile but I think these are nice enough to just be great headphones. The microphone sounds okay to my gaming friends but not as nice as some other sets I've had. The re-certified don't come in the fancy box and are missing the airline jack and carry bag. I don't need either. I love these things and I'm winning more matches because of them. Nuff said.

★★★☆☆ i wish i'd known this didn't include everything that comes with the retail package. this doesn't include the extra set of velour ear pads, the carrying case, or the airplane adapter. since the retail version is only $20 more for NEW headphones with all the extras, that makes this not a very good deal. but these are great headphones.

★★★★☆ This headset was tested on PS4 so haven't tried the 7.1 USB adapter. This headset is really really comfortable. Very good sound for a stereo headset. You can easily identify the direction of the sound, so it's great for FPS. Build quality is great, and its very light. The cables are reinforced in a kind of threads, which makes them durable. One thing I didn't liked is that it doesn't have mic monitoring, and you might end up shouting all over the house, because you can't hear yourself speaking. It's a great set overall, and if you can get it on sale, it's a no brainer.
