If there was one thing holding back the HyperX Cloud Flight from claiming the number one spot in my best wireless headset rankings, it's that it just wasn't quite as comfortable as some of its rivals. Happily, HyperX's latest wireless gaming headset, the Cloud II Wireless, fixes this problem instantly. It still weighs an identical 300g without its detachable microphone, but its leatherette memory foam headband and ear cushions sit much more easily on my head this time round, keeping the dreaded head pinch at bay for hours. HyperX have also improved the build quality of the Cloud II Wireless, opting for a lovely red aluminium frame (and equally lovely red stitching) instead of the swathes of plastic found on the Cloud Flight. The end result is a headset that feels much more befitting of its £150 / $150 price, and a worthy contender for one of my favourite wireless headsets yet.
