Did HP kill HyperX?

[@AssassinIsAfk]

I have both imo, the kingstons are a lot nicer, the sound is a bit clearer making it easier to identify where enemies are in games like valorant, it feels more comfortable (again mine are broken in however it also feels lighter probably due to the metal plating) and overall if you have the kingston cloud 2's keep them because you won't be getting that same type of quality again

[@_MaZTeR_]

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

Would prefer the plastic outside case over the rubber coating so much more. Over a few years of use (as these are tanks that last that long easily), rubber coating wears off, gets sticky & consequently messy.

[@sp2icy468]

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.

[@ArpitAnand]

@@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+.

[@_Wake_Up_If_U_Can]

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!

[@jcsenhamster315]

@@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.

Great video. I missed HyperX went from Kingston to HP. Pity that you can get sample variety because of this. They should've discontinued the Cloud II if they were going to change something. Even if it's about saving on the build. I wonder how HP will run the brand next to Omen.

[@shantodas8184]

my old coolermaster mh751's were busted and I was looking to see if the cloud 2's are still as good or not a few months back, then I found a video from a KZbinr saying not to buy this hyperx cloud 2 and I saw that video he said the hp has skimped out and made the cloud 2's worse. and then I did a lot of research on my own and tested both from 2 different friend's of mine. and honestly I can't tell the difference in sound. except the sound there's no difference in comfort and price. then I just bought the new hp one's just yesterday because that is the only one available in my region. and today I see your video reiterating what I had in my mind. this just makes me feel good that I made the right choice. thanks for your review again

[@bruizer3183]

My personal experience: I've had both and the build quality, sound, and the mic on the HP were slightly less across the board IN MY OPINION (tested plugged into a dedicated sound card, not the USB). The headband adjustment was really loose on the HP compared to my old Kingston's. The speakers and mic were a little "tinnier" on the HP . I ended up returning the HP pair and hunting down a new old stock Kingston pair on eBay to replace my original Kingston pair.

Bro, am I faded or did you not have any arm/hand tattoos up until fairly recently? lol. I haven’t seen a vid of yours for a minute (6 months or so), but I don’t remember the tattoos.

[@tomaray_the_first]

I bought my hyperx in 2016 and always told my friends that it was the best headset you could buy. Although I don't remember the exact time, a friend of mine said, "Why are you exaggerating so much? It's not that good." I did some research on this and heard that HP bought the brand. This was one of those situations where I felt very lucky. Although it is said in this video that "there is almost no difference", the difference I heard was at a level that would double the price in my opinion. Even though it is a gaming headset, the difference you hear when listening to music is very different. Now I want to switch to a wireless headset but while I'm doing research, it doesn't make sense to pay tons of extra money to get the nearly same pleasure I got from cloud 2. I'm continuing with cloud 2. I think I'll keep going until it breaks and I'm extremely happy.

[@GR-cd2kx]

If they cut the cost on certain things that aren’t really needed and passed on the savings, then all good. From what I could tell, it looks like there is less stitching on the headband of the new unit too

[@PoloDavey]

first of all great vid bro. I haven't watched one of your vids in a min and as always you're consistently pumping out perfect and timely vids. I find it so strange that they changed the build quality. it cant be much of a dif in price to make and even if it is hp def has more money than hyper x. just seems so wild to me to go that route.

[@alexclark7284]

Its greed Horrible

[@attilala4877]

My experience: I usually use the headphones all day, every day (I even sleep in them most of the time, lol). The old Kingston one was a BEAST, it lasted more than 1.5 years even under my excessive usage. The new HP one I ordered literally 3 FRICKIN' MONTHS AGO have the plastic parts already broken to pieces. Now I'm just sitting here searching for new headphones...

[@mbonkeden]

Metal earcup vs plastic earcup, different sound. If not re-tuned can actually change some of the frequency responses. Also maybe that's what people refers to when they say "plastic on the inside" is the fact that sound chamber on the earcup is now plastic instead of metal. The headphone this is based on which is Takstar Pro 80 iirc also has metal earcup. Making things easier for Kingston to just repackage the thing which HP probably didn't account for. But hey that's just me and my "audio crazy". If you don't care about sound and just want to listen to the newest Lofi or tik tok music compilation any of these will do just fine.

[@Shhzhxjsjznxn]

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

[@schizowallflower]

I like the build of the Cloud 2 wireless more, personally. I think it was the last update to them before being acquired by HP and the build, especially the forks into the earcups, are noticeably different. I never found the Cloud 2's to be too comfortable because of the lack of swivel, and the way my ears are most headsets that even have minor swivel actually swivel the wrong way for my ears, which is super unfortunate.

[@judealtran17]

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?

[@BigFudge028]

I can't even find the regular cloud 2's on hyperx website today? Did they stop selling them???

[@Snotnarok]

They should be a new iteration if they're going to make this many changes. Like- you might not value the eggbag and the adapter much? But to remove that when there's all these reviews saying it's there? Yeah I'd be annoyed that I paid the same but got less- which obviously extends to the build materials changing so much

[@BeingBOTisCareer]

The audio quality was horrible on the new hyperx cloud 2, I ended up returning it. The only positive change is that they removed the rubber coating, which after a few years turned into a gluey sticky substance on my old cloud 2 (btw you can remove that coating with 90% alcohol).

[@lubossoltes321]

So as a start they managed to find things to save on for production costs without changing the price ? That's already a problem. Same happened to Omen when HP took over ... I have a Cloud Flight S and the battery just died (new on on the way). But given HP's track record, I will not be getting anymore HyperX after these ... call me pessimistic but I have my experience with HP ...

I got the Cloud 2's because they had really good reviews. When plugged into my laptop via 3.5 mm jack it works perfect. However, when I connect it to the usb audio connector box, the mic gets bricked and does not pick up as much sound. You can barely hear it. It's a shame because the speakers worked flawlessly and were crisp but I use the mic on a daily basis, so it was a big issue. Had to return.

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
