The Sound Performance of Hyperx Cloud 2

The headphone is built to get the full enjoyment of games but you can use it for movies or music also.

7.1 virtual surround sound is only available for a computer not for mobile phones because to enable surround sound we have to use a sound card that is only connected to pc. The sound card converts all the incoming music into stereo sound.

For a gamer, it becomes important during the game that he can notice all the incoming sounds like footsteps, bullet sounds, grenades, vehicle sounds.

Sound direction is important for the gamer and in this department hyperx cloud 2 gaming headphones get full marks. Kingston is using its own technology to regularly improve sound quality.

When it is connected to the computer, we can enable its surround sound 7.1 by pressing a dedicated button on the USB sound card.
