HyperX Cloud II (2) – Review

Kingston were recently kind enough to send me the HyperX Cloud 2 to review (You will be able to win one shortly as well). This is the revised version of the very popular Cloud Headset that has received many awards on its own.

One of the main improvements is the inclusion of a combined USB virtual 7.1 sound card and control cable.
