Kingston HyperX

HyperX is the high-performance product division of Kingston Technology, that started in 2002 with high-performance memory modules but has grown to encompass a myriad of products from memory modules to solid-state drives, USB Flash drives, headsets and mouse pads. As a premium product manufacturer that caters to gamers and tech enthusiasts, HyperX not only uses only the best-in-class components in their products but puts great emphasis on the performance, quality and aesthetics of their designs.

Today, we are going to look at the HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset. This is the improved version of the original HyperX Cloud gaming headset that HyperX co-developed with QPAD, the Swedish professional gaming gear company. It now features a USB audio control box with a built-in sound card that generates virtual 7.1 surround sound, as well as a new digitally-enhanced, noise-cancelling microphone with automatic gain control and echo cancellation.
