Our Verdict

HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II

HyperX Cloud Core

The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II are better gaming headphones than the HyperX Cloud Core since they have controls. These two headphones are practically the same, but the Cloud II have an in-line remote that gives you access to a mic mute, volume control, and channel mixing, while the Core model is simple and will be good for people who don't care much for controls.
