This is a video to compare the HyperX Cloud II Wireless (https://youtu.be/sIudkdwrlis) with the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (https://youtu.be/hh7NJ7Miza0). If you'd like to hear the microphone capture of both headsets, please be sure click view the full unboxing/review videos.

#HyperX Cloud II Wireless:

This a wireless virtual surround sound headset from HyperX with large drivers, a bold durable design and 30 hours of battery life.

Highlights of the headset include a detachable microphone, strong aluminium frame and comfortable closed cup earcups which block out a decent amount of background noise.

Lowlights are the mic sounds rather compressed and the audio is rather tinny during gaming sessions. It lacks bass oddly, yet when listening to music it's fantastic. Also there's no 3.5mm jack and you can't use USB-C to USB-C for audio on Android via your phone. No Bluetooth connection.

Highlights of this headset for me:
- Sound is good. Rich, good positional audio, nice tweaks in Razer Synapse and great for music, gaming and whatever
- 3.5mm and Wireless connections mean it's easy to use with most things
- Large earcups are comfortable to wear
- Large headband is perfect for big noggins
- No fuss design

Lowlights:
- Mic quality is seriously compressed
- No USB-C or Bluetooth connection options
- Design is rather in-your-face despite lack of RGB
- Earcup material is scratchy and uncomfortable
- Wireless signal disconnects easily over a short distance
