Did HP kill HyperX? 

I agree. Now I had an HP desktop computer back in 2000 and it was pretty good, but everything after that was pretty trash.

I just RMA my cloud 2 wireless from kingston and they approved that they are defective, i got my money back.

same as when jaybird was sold to logitech. they all get bought up and suck ass in the end.

​​@@cvtechreview I have a cheap HP notebook with a Ryzen 5 4000 CPU and it runs pretty well. The low wattage APU is fast and the chassis never turns hot, the vents not horribly loud either, the IPS screen is a cheap one, but it has FreeSync compatibility and surprisingly good for watching movies and even to play older games. Good viewing angles and enough brightness. The keys have a 3 stages backlight and fine pressure points, I can type on it at night easily. Not the best ofc, but it is light and the build quality still holds up after 2 years, like it is new. Never had any issues with it so for about 420 usd (second hand, but barely used) i'm happy with it :)

@@papi-saucelogitech is a good company wym

Its greed Horrible

I was thinking about buying a new Cloud 2 since the plastic parts have started to break on my old Kingston version, but I think I'll be spending more on a better headset if HP now owns HyperX

@@_MaZTeR_ go for another brand, honestly I like corsairs new virtuoso pro, its open back and looks pretty nice plus it's comfy at least for me

@@AssassinIsAfkI found that local sellers still sell the Kingston versions so I might just buy that again. Otherwise, I was thinking about spending a bit more for Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X

I had a pair of HyperX cloud cores that had a rubber coating for 3 1/2 years and I took good care of them, even up until the end the rubber coating didn't wear down down or break so Idk how you care for your items but me personally wearing down was not an issue. The only reason they broke was because they got wrapped around my chair. The plastic on the new cloud 2 feels cheap and makes these headphones feel way less quality than the originals.

@@sp2icy468 I care for them well enough. I don't know which part of the world you live in, but the temperature, climate & dust levels play a big role in wearing off things. I don't know what the plastic on the HP Cloud 2s is like, but I would certainly prefer to not have the rubber coating. Have had the Cloud Core for 3 years & Cloud Alpha for another 3+.

All items that have that PTE rubberized coating all end up having a tack or stickiness to me. Mice, Keyboards, remote controls, all end up feeling tacky or sticky to me. It drives me crazy! I just ordered the Pwnage Magnesium mouse for this exact reason! I also keep making the mistake of using phone cases that end up with that tackiness or stickiness that ends up on my fingers then transfers to my mice that do not come with rubberized coatings. Both my HyperX honeycomb mice have a slight tackiness to them now because of my trash $50 case for my S22 Samsung phone! It was some body armor case from Walmart. I did some yard work, got some of the gas on my hands from refueling the weed trimmer. Had my phone outside with me blue-toothing to a boombox. Finished up the yard work. Washed my hands and sat down at my desk to get a League of Legends game in, and wouldn't ya know it....despite washing my hands with dish soap I made my mouse tacky on the sides!!!!! That rubberized compound should be banned! Wonder if it has endocrine disruptors being that it's made of some type of plastic... Rubbing alcohol, lacquer thinner, NOTHING works! Tried some baking soda and a toothbrush and it seemed to help some? Also put baby powder on my hands which also seemed to help but who wants to smell baby powder so strongly??? Now before we buy anything, I always check to see if they put a sticky rubber coating anywhere on it. If it has it, its a NO GO!

@@sp2icy468 My country isn't good for rubber coating. Humility here is quite bad. Most of the items which has that coating (Hot Toys especially), all ended up that way. Even if i apply protection layer on it, it still ended up the same.

Same situation. I spent the whole day cleaning that rubber layer with baking soda and alcohol.

Yeah and your not the only one so what a lot people complain about? Placebo effect? Almost made me return HP ones but there is only few aesthetic difrences.

@@mulacula9540 I did notice a small difference between the originals but it wasn’t nearrrrly as bad as people are making it out to be.

@@zacharybishop6595 i was thinking the same but I believe no difrence at all

i think the hp ones look better aesthicly tbh.

I got ya 👍

I cant decide which one should i get between cloud alpha wireless or cloud2 wired. i want the wireless so bad but they said wireless is bad in fps games? is it true?

@@judealtran17 What'd you end up going with?

And the quality of the microphone remains as bad?

Pad swapping any headset/headphone will change the sound

The frame, headband and material always reminded me of some re-brandes budget option made by Beyerdynamic

Same for me. I had a broken keycap on a 2016 alloy elite rgb keyboard, contacted them via email, and they agreed to sent me a complete new keyboard , for just ONE keycap. I recieved the new keyboard and it even seemed improved from the last one, the keycaps are more resistant. I am still using this solid keyboard. They also replaced my clouds 2 on warranty with no fuss after the left audio stoped working. Never in my life I had such amazing customer support.

The only HP products that aren't garbage are their VR headsets and MAYBE SOME specific laptop models (the ones that don't overheat). Other than that, all other HP products are garbage.

​@@PSYCHOV3N0Mand their omen monitors are pretty good

That's so weird I have that experience in reverse. My old ones slowly got too big for my head and stretched out. The screws came out a tiny bit and I tried to screw it back in and they got all stripped and ruined. They were all creaky. I got some new ones and I've used them for a year and they're perfect. They look brand new. I'm thinking of getting a replacement headband bracket for my old Kingston ones to repair them and try it again

Yes there's a noticeable difference. The HP version sounds thin and tinny compared to Kingston, major downgrade in every way.

I have a cloud 3 and I think the sound is fine, they are comfortable but I've never had cloud 1 or 2, the biggest issue is its using a usb and windows has no volume boost for the mic I had to use another tool, they need to fix windows to add a boost to it its way waaay too quiet by default.

You lose nearly all the bass the Kingston IIs have with the IIIs

wow what a good reason

I have both and the sound between the Kingston and HP versions are night and day. They are noticeably different and the HP model is by far inferior, there's no debating it and if this guy tries to tell you they're even in the same ballpark he has no credibility as a reviewer.

​@@ragnnohab How do I find out if mine is from HP or Kingston?

Update on the purchase, mostly used on weekends were the earcuffs are down, and the hinges on the bracket just cracked out of nowhere, never been dropped never been abused used only on weekends for about 8-9hrs, according to the shop that I bought it, i cant RMA this thing cause its physical damage

I don't think bro I got the HP Cloud II and There was only a slight minor difference in the sound. I was still able to know the location of the enemies by hearing the footsteps.

@@BOT-pl5ng Then you're either lying or coping over a bad purchase.

@@ragnnohabidk I returned them already but personally the sound quality was great and I definitely could tell where the footsteps were coming from lol. I played about 13 hours

@@ragnnohab Whatever you say I can't do anything to prove you and it's been 4 months and I am enjoying them.

Does it have the same sound? Or the difference is just the 7.1 and dts x

really? why is the HP ones look very bad and what is the real difference between the old and HP ones in " Sound " i don't care of the other difference i care about sound.

I'll keep that in mind next time I need a pair of headphones to microwave.

DID YOU GET THIS ?

@@mimarfatihcan yes

@@PincKen you like it? Can you suggest me?

@@mimarfatihcan I like it, I got a black model it looks very nice in real life, mic sounds amazing, the cups are a little bigger and they are very comfortable. the only thing is that it has less bass than the cloud II's I had

@@PincKen so its worth it? i really looking for headset and cloud 3 is in my list
