The HyperX Cloud II Red is the black-and-red version of the HyperX Cloud II, the wired gaming headset that made the Cloud name famous. HyperX lists it as the Black-Red colourway, part number 4P5M0AA. Inside are 53mm dynamic drivers with neodymium magnets, and in the cable sits a USB audio control box that switches on virtual 7.1 surround, adjusts volume and mutes the mic. The frame is aluminium, the ear cushions are HyperX memory foam in leatherette, and a spare pair of velour cushions comes in the box. The microphone detaches when you only want to listen.

53mm drivers and virtual 7.1 surround
HyperX tunes the 53mm drivers of the HyperX Cloud II Red for rich, impactful game audio and clear positional cues. The official frequency response is 10Hz to 23kHz, sensitivity is 98dB SPL/mW at 1kHz and total harmonic distortion stays under 2%. Virtual 7.1 surround is switched on from the USB audio control box; HyperX says it improves positional audio and gives an expanded sense of space. In shooters this helps place footsteps and gunfire around you, while in racing and adventure games you may prefer plain stereo for a more natural sound, so try both and keep what suits each game.
The USB audio control box
The HyperX Cloud II Red connects through a USB audio control box (USB 2.0, 16-bit) that holds the volume wheel, the mic mute switch and the 7.1 button. On a PC or a PS5 you plug the box into a USB port and get the full feature set. The headset cable also ends in a 3.5mm plug, so you can unplug it from the box and connect directly to a controller, a Nintendo Switch or a phone; in that mode the 7.1 button and the control box functions are not available, because they live in the box. HyperX lists the headset cable at 3.28 ft, about 1 metre.
Detachable noise-cancelling microphone
The microphone is an electret condenser capsule with a uni-directional, noise-cancelling pickup pattern and a sensitivity of -42dBV. HyperX says it is designed to keep voice chat clear by reducing the sound around you, such as a fan, an air conditioner or a keyboard. Because it detaches, the HyperX Cloud II Red also works as a plain pair of closed-back headphones for music or films, without a mic arm in front of your face. Keep the mic in its box slot when you take it off, as it is small and easy to lose.
Comfort, frame and the black-red look
The Cloud II is known first for comfort. HyperX uses its signature memory foam and premium leatherette on the ear cushions and headband, a measured clamping force and a weight of about 0.7 lb, roughly 320 g. The closed-back, over-ear cups seal out room noise. The frame is aluminium, flexible enough to fit different head sizes and tough enough for daily use. In this colourway the headband and cups are black with red details, a look that matches most red-accented gaming setups. A second pair of velour cushions is included for those who find leatherette warm.
Who the HyperX Cloud II Red suits
The HyperX Cloud II Red suits PC players who want 7.1 virtual surround and a hardware mute switch without installing software, PS5 owners who plug in over USB, and anyone moving between a console controller and a phone with the 3.5mm plug. It is a proven choice for long sessions of shooters and online games, and for students who also need a reliable headset for online classes. Buyers who want the newest angled drivers or DTS spatial audio should look at the Cloud III instead.
Who This Is Not For
The HyperX Cloud II Red is wired only, with no Bluetooth or wireless mode. Virtual 7.1 and the mute and volume controls work only through the USB control box, not over the 3.5mm plug alone. The headset cable is about 1 metre, so you may need an extension at a desk. The leatherette cushions can feel warm in long summer sessions. It has no RGB lighting and no active noise cancellation.
