It is very glitchy with using by Android although the sound quality is good and mic is also working well. In this price range I prefer you to buy other popular brand headphones.

 Been using the product for the last couples months. Audio quality is pretty good for its price range. You can wear comfortably for long hours. Sometimes you wouldn’t even realise you are wearing it. But during summers if your room is not air conditioned you might experience sweating under your ear cups mostly because of the leatherette covering. but it’s kinda premium though. Overall it’s a good pair of lightweight headphones for the price range with pretty good audio quality. The fit is very comfortably perfect. GO from my side!

Here I am going to review Hyper x cloud core . I am using this for 2 days and I am going to tell that is this head set is good or not at this price tag . Pros :
1. Audio quality : My first experience with the audio was little bit disappointed since I use a lot of earbuds and I had put high expectations on the headset since this product is from HP(Hewlett Packkard) and it is gaming oriented .Now after 2 days I can tell that you can use this headphone for any kind of work like playing games , video calls , listening music , watching movies ,etc . i. And it provides the DTS headphone :X software subscription for 2 years which is available on windows. When I tried it , It enhanced the listening experience to nearly premium ( similar to a Beoplay H4 headset) . There it makes an impact .
2. Detachable noise cancelling microphone : It is really awesome , It is flexible and the audio clarity is good and it provides noise cancellation.
3. Build Quality : The speaker shell are built with plastic , cushions are leather foam , the frame is aluminium frame and the wires are coated with a strong fibre and the Mic is made with plastic mic and metal frame . From overall the build quality is good .
4. Comfort : The comfort is very good despite the weight ( 320 gms ) . I don’t feel pain even I use for 1-2 hours straight .
5. Platform independent : From the HP , They are assuring that it can be used to PC, Mac, Laptop, I phone, Android, PS4 and X Box. I have tried to Laptop and Android and It works . Not sure for Nintendo Switch because they didn’t provided about it .
6. mute slider and volume wheel given . You can mute your microphone and adjust your volume.
CONS :
1. Pause , next and previous buttons not provided since it is a gaming oriented headset. 2. Detachable mic is necessary for talking. 3. No water resistant or IP rating.
VERDICT :
HP did really a good job. A wired gaming headset under RS 4500 can give experience as most of the casual headphones which are above 6000 and i believe that this headset can give a very good competition to the headsets which are between 5000-6000.or even above If you are looking for a gaming headset under this budget, it is worth buying it in 2022.

I’ve dropped it so many times and it’s holding up really well. And the cord is pretty long so you don’t have to remove and wear the headphones if you are going to get up and reach out to something within 2.5 metres.

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 Amazon 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.
