## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Ultimate Guide to buying headphones below 10K. - I was initially looking for a good wireless headset with long battery backup under 10K and did a lot of research, read a lot of reviews, made a list of officially available headphones on desertcart and Flipkart but found that all the wired headphones sound much better than wireless ones (even the wireless ones when connected through aux cable) and so finally ended buying a wired one and hope to use it with a wireless Bluetooth receiver. I needed a headphone with good sound reproduction My primary Usage were listening music, watching movie, video/audio/Skype calls etc and gaming or basically I needed a headphone that can be comfortable for longer duration. For a good sounding headphone we look for Bass(low 20Hz-250Hz), Mids(250Hz-2KHz) and Treble(High 2KHz-20KHz). I needed a headphone with good natural sound reproduction (not favoring any particular frequencies like extra Bass etc) as these affects other frequencies and Sound Stage (Surround Sound Effects). These are the headphones I finalized according to my budget. Wireless - SteelSeries Arctis 7 - best wireless ones in my budget, had good balanced sound with app support but these had their own USB transmitter (no Bluetooth). Can not use with mobile and fire stick unless I have the transmitter USB powered at all times. Bulky than average and tight. Was only in my budget on Prime Day. I personally don't like these kind of headbands. Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 - another good choice but its price never dropped and was not able to find any reliable seller. There are lot of look alike fakes of headphones so I just wanted to get mine from reliable source. JBL E55BT, Skullcandy Grind, Skullcandy Hesh 3, Skullcandy Hesh 2 JBL, JBL T450 BT - Have mentioned them in order of how they sound. JBL E55BT being the best. These are all good Bluetooth headphones. Sennheiser HD 4.50 BT - Was only in my budget on prime day. These headphones pack a lot of premium features but for all those the quality is just average. Bass is good on these while other sounds are average, Active Noise Cancellation is also average. They have very basic simple looks and tight fit (some user complained of pain after wearing for long hours). Unfortunately they were unavailable by evening on Prime day (I guess although labelled as deal of the day, they got sold our before day was over). Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT - Somewhat similar like Sennheiser HD 4.50 BT minius the ANC. Reviews say sound is more balanced on these but unfortunately no discount was given on these on Prime day or at least in time period when I was searching for headphones. Sony MDR-ZX330BT, Sony MDR-XB650BT - Good ones but with Over bass (good for Bass lovers), Sony does not provide aux cable port for these. So these are purely wireless. I was looking for Sony MDR-XB950B1 but price never dropped to my budget. Wired - In wired we have lot of options with great sound and value for money. So we have to look for the ones matching our requirements. Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, Audio-Technica ATH-M40x - One of the best headphones under 10K. Exceptional well balanced sound reproduction. Lacks any kind of audio button or control. No Mic so had to drop these from the list. But If I ever get a chance to buy headphone in future I will go for these. Sennheiser HD 598 SR - Bass is below average on these. Other things are good and even has Mic and I found it later. But nothing exceptional to prove it value for money when already ATH-M series are there. SteelSeries Siberia 200 - Reviewers say these are the best budget wired gaming headset but couldn't find a likable color option and reliable seller. Brainwavz HM5, Shure SRH440, Beats EP Wired, Sony MDR-7506, Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, Audio Technica ATH-M20x - Few other wired headphones in order based on sound. Few have mics and few don't. I finalized on 4 headphones - Sennheiser HD 4.50 BT, HyperX Cloud, HyperX Cloud 2, HyperX Revolver. Sennheiser was unavailable by the time I reached a decision. Now comes my Review of HyperX Cloud 2 and why I choose it. Pros - - Wired Connectivity options (both 3.5mm and USB available) - Removable Mic - Additional Ear Cups - Tangle free braided cable - Definitely loud on same volume levels. Tried different headphones and earphone using same source and volume level and this was loudest. - Strong and Sturdy build. You can feel the build quality by looking at the thick aluminum parts. Nice finishing too. - Well balanced sound. Good deep bass (with thump and punch but not over boomy) and Excellent Mids (well-balanced vocals and lead instruments). - Sounstage effect can be increased using the USB with box on PC to give 7.1 surround sound. It definitely broadens the sound in games and movies. - Heavy padding on headband and ear cups. - Noise isolation is good. Blocks outside sound to some good level - Well balanced weight. Pressure is spread evenly around ears. - No tightness or clamping force felt while wearing. - Ability to control Mic and Audio volume and Mute through USB. - Excellent Mic sound with boom. Speech recorded is clear, full, detailed and natural. Some reviews even say Mic on these are better than that of Arctis 7. - Last but most important, excellent in breathability and comfort. Can easily use for long durations without any problem. I have glasses and big ears and it was a smooth fit for me. My whole ear were completely under the ear cups. Cons - - Although this is an upgraded version of HyperX Cloud the reviews say sound is almost similar so I paid the additional 2.5K only for USB connectivity and 7.1 surround sound box. - HyperX Revolver was priced too close to HyperX Cloud 2 in sale, and is slightly better sounding and definitely has better Soundstage. Still Cloud 2 is marginally better in Comfort and Build. - The aux cable length is small So, if you are not using the USB with box the cable falls short even using with laptop - The aux cable is not detachable. - Without the USB 7.1 box when using with 3.5mm connection the Sound effect is just average - I observed that these leak sound too much, and if its not on head you can clearly hear the music playing like mini speaker at medium volume - Treble is just average. - 7.1 surround sound is useless for medium that doesn't support audio through USB input. - Although it is super comfortable, it is still bulky at 306 grams. - I am not sure why but I was not able to find much sound difference between this one and Boat Rockerz 600 I used earlier. I was confused whether this can be called an upgrade. I will know more after using cloud 2 for some time. I will update my experience here after few months of usage. These were just my initial observations. I will update the Review after using them for some time. UPDATE - After 2 months of Usage I have to say quality of this headset is very good especially the cables. Looks like I just brought them yesterday. The memory foam on ear cups have adjusted well for my years. I rarely used the USB 7.1 surround sound. It does not seems to do much. Sound is great.
Review: Nice product must buy great quality - Great quality.....costly but worth it....cushion is soft and having great comfor for long time looks fit wire is premium. 7.1 surrounding works great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice product must buy great quality
*by N***L on 6 May 2026*

Great quality.....costly but worth it....cushion is soft and having great comfor for long time looks fit wire is premium. 7.1 surrounding works great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Writing after 2 YEARS of EXTENSIVE use.
*by P***I on 7 February 2020*

TLDR; Really great headphones if you exclude the 7.1 virtual surround part, can work for two years or more with ZERO issues, 7.1 is useless on this one, not great for music(low bass which is intentional) but great for gaming. Overview. Build quality is great, sound is all great especially for gaming, bass is limited which is expected 'cuz this is a gaming headphone and they intentionally cut down the bass, but still its great for music too. Mic is all great it even picks up room voices clearly if you tune it up, noise cancelling is great. 7.1 is a JOKE. I dont know why it has the 7.1 option it is a complete joke, it simply ruins the audio and the surround sound is worse than stereo with 7.1 lmao, the irony. Please don't go for this headphone if you're choosing it only because of the 7.1 virtual surround feature, other than that its really great, I never cared about the 7.1 surround feature I only bought this 'cuz this headphone is really great on all aspects for gaming. Extras. It is very comfortable, you can adjust the size and theres 2 foam pads, one's leather and other one is.. not leather, cable is long and if you use it with the USB soundcard wire is extended even longer, you can almost listen to music thru this headphone connected to pc while laying on bed, which I can actually. Mic is detachable. Build quality is extremely good, I've used it for 2 years with flawless performance and no issues, lotta rough use and only now it's started screwing up. The bug which makes it useless for use with modern android devices. APPLE devices dont have this bug btw. Don't plan on using the headphone with android devices with mic detached tho, there's a bug in android that it won't detect your headset if you plug in without the mic attached, you MUST attach your mic to your headphone if you wanna use it with your phone IF your android device happened to have this bug, which almost every new android device has. Noticed that this bug is not found in android kitkat tho.
