Hey and thanks for this question! We’ve heard a lot of reports about changes to the HyperX Cloud II since HP acquired HyperX. Obviously there have been some cosmetic differences: the interior logo has changed, the HyperX logo is now embossed rather than embroidered, the colours are slightly different and there’s no case. Some users also report changes in comfort due to a new headband design and even claim that the sound profile is significantly different. The official line from HyperX is that the product is exactly the same, save for the logo changes. We don’t have the data to corroborate this and haven’t tested the HP version so it’s hard to see beyond the subjectivity of individual user reports. That said, the quantity of these reports is concerning and it’s something we’d like to look into. We’ll update the review if we get more information. However, we do feel that there’s value in our review of the Kingston version. There are still plenty of these available on the used market and they can occasionally be found on shelves. The Kingston version was made from 2015-2021, so there’s quite a few in circulation still.

Hey PLEASE test if the frequency graph on the Hp version is the same as the kingston models.

Can you share best eq settings please?

I’d also like some help, mainly for Foobar2000 where the equalizer isn’t very in depth. I’m using this currently: https://i.imgur.com/Q8EuvGM.png I’d also like a better ffmoeg superequalizer preset for MPV. Not too comfortable using system-wide presets.
