" ... Best headset ive ever had, feels like a cloud on my head ... "
" ... Comfortable, A little expensive but definately worth it. ... "
" ... The best headset I ever had. ... "
" ... I've had this for over 1.5 years and let me just say, it's such a fantastic headset in comparison to my previous Kraken 7.1 surround sound which was so tight it made my head hurt after a couple of hours. ... First of all, it's very comfy - i've stuck with the original leather cushions but it's nice that you can get the choice to swap them out when they wear out. ... "
" ... Very high-quality headphones, good microphone quality, comfortable switchable earcups, overall a fantastic product! ... "

" ... Great BUT sound impaired one year later . ... "
" ... The sound quality of these headphones is great. ... No one has ever heard someone say "Rush B" with such great audio fidelity, until now. ... By using the integrated USB DAC the Cloud 2s don't have to use your PCs built in audio DAC which means that sound quality is consistent across every PC the Cloud 2s are used on, therefore meaning that there isn't a possibility of bad sound quality (or mic quality) due to bad software or a bad PC sound card. ... "
" ... Can honestly say the sound is amazing , having giving this a run through on PUBG and also a few classical songs , the sound on these are AMAZING and clear. ... "
" ... very comfortable to ware, blocks out external noise very well too ... "
" ... Music sounds great and gaming with the pseudo 7.1 surround is great once you get used to it. ... "

" ... The length of the braided cable is more than sufficient and extends the lead to approx 6.5ft maybe slightly more. ... "

" ... Well built and designed, sturdy, with a choice of cup preferences (leather or foam). ... "
" ... They are very closed ear blocking out pretty much all external sound. ... "
" ... The cups manage to fit OVER my ears perfectly, allowing them to be used for extended wear. ... Sturdy construction, I've dropped them from waist height a few times as my chair swivels, pulling them off the desk, and they've had no issues. ... "
" ... Fits ok, but feel a little pinch top of ears after a few hours of gaming, you have to fold your ears into headphones and let them pop open inside lol :) and they are ok then! ... "
" ... Headset fits comfortably on my head and is snug around my ears making it possible to wear these for a long time. ... "

" ... I wouldn't recommend them for music, as while the sound is clear and rich, it lacks a deeper bass sound. ... "
" ... This is most likely the best quality headset around for the price, fantastically clear treble and deep rich bass immerse you within whichever gaming universe you find yourself. ... "
" ... So the capability of the bass is in the headset, it's just that the default equalization doesn't take advantage of it. ... I can understand this though because high treble is better for gaming (footsteps are easier to hear, for example), however I love bass and had to sort it. ... "
" ... Sound quality is great, good depth, very sharp and lots of bass as required. ... "
" ... There is bass but it’s not boomy and I have found my music is much improved over my old Sennheiser headset which admittedly was a bit cheaper than these. ... "
" ... Nice bass sound for gun shots etc. ... "
" ... It has a really good bass and high quality sound especially the microphone. ... "
" ... The sound is crisp and with the additional feature of the 7.1 surround available at the touch of a button adds more bass and depth. ... "

" ... Only problem it doesnt have a mute button. ... "
" ... Only problem is you can't change microphone volume level on pc (win 10 haven't tried others yet) ... "
" ... The microphone volume was also too low even when set to max using the inline control. ... "
" ... It's a good headset, but every now and then I hear this mechanical click from inside the left earcup for no apparent reason, only happens when plugged in. ... "
" ... This basically resulted in the second half of the headset cable being useless, which is a MASSIVE PAIN because that’s where the volume controls lie. ... So unfortunately I have to make all volume adjustments via in-game audio controls, which as you can imagine is a massive pain when you want to quickly throw the volume down a notch to hear whether your dinner is ready. ...
