Given its price point of $120 - cheaper than most wireless offerings - it's more than understandable it doesn't have premium features, though. Its saving grace is that it reasonably hits its 30-hour battery life, give or take some time with variables, of course.Īnd while its stereo audio is fine, I really wish it had some sort of virtual surround sound like the Flight S. Most people may not even care about this aspect, but speed matters when a wireless headset depends on charging. There's no reason to favor Micro-USB over USB-C. That the HyperX Cloud Flight still uses micro-USB charging is another negative in my book.
I'd describe it as very average for a headset microphone.
It's not the worst I've heard, but it's certainly not the best. Not only does it sound a tad staticky, but it also muffles your voice more harshly than usual. That's definitely the case here, but it's evident that it's inferior to some other headset mics as well. It's always unfair to compare a headset's microphone to a dedicated one, so I go in with the expectation that it won't always sound the best.

Wireless headsets typically hit anywhere between 10 to 25 hours, with 30 on the higher end of the spectrum. To top it all off, 30 hours of battery life is hard to beat. It being detachable gives everyone a choice whether they want to use it or not. A lot of people rely on their headset's mic for communication. I just don't need the headset's mic most of the time. I tend to play mostly single-player games, and if I ever need to use a headset on my computer, I have a USB microphone I can plug in. Having a detachable microphone is nice, too, because I don't always use it. The HyperX Cloud Flight did start off a bit uncomfortable with my glasses, but it didn't take long before it felt better on my head. What differentiates most headsets is the tightness of the clamp and how easy they are to break in. Its leatherette and memory foam ear cushions are the tried and true design that many other companies go with, so there's nothing that breaks the mold there, but as the saying goes, don't fix what isn't broken. It's clear, it delivers directional audio, and it beats television speakers. The HyperX Cloud Flight sounds about as good as you'd expect from a stereo headset. To use an analogy people with glasses would understand, it's like going to the eye doctor and being asked which lenses are clearer - sometimes you just can't tell. We've gotten to the point where unless a headset has drastically different audio quality - whether it be how it delivers basses or mid-tones - then, generally speaking, most people may not notice a difference. Most stereo headsets sound similar to me, and likewise, 7.1 surround sound seems virtually the same on headsets that offer it (a testament to how far audio technology has come). While I've tested several headsets over the last couple of years, it can be difficult to pick apart which ones sound better.
