With the HyperX Cloud Flight 2 Wireless, HP’s gaming brand is launching a headset that combines long battery life, versatile connectivity options and a striking aviator design. Equipped with RGB lighting, magnetically interchangeable earcup covers and two microphones – internal and detachable – it is aimed at users who value comfort, flexibility and a long service life.
- Up to 100 hours of battery life
- 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.3 connection, “Instant Pair” function with HP-Omen devices
- Internal and detachable microphone for different usage scenarios
- Magnetically replaceable ear cup covers and pads
Design with functional aspirations
Visually, the Cloud Flight 2 Wireless is based on the look of classic pilot headphones and its design is reminiscent of Razer’s Blackshark series. The distinctive frame and generously sized, circumaural earcups ensure a stable fit, while the memory foam padding makes them comfortable to wear for long periods, even during intensive sessions. HyperX also focuses on a high degree of customizability: earcup covers, pads, headband and microphone can be removed and replaced if necessary.
A visual highlight is the integrated RGB lighting, which can be adjusted or deactivated to either set the visual accent or conserve battery life. The ear cups can be rotated up to 90 degrees, which makes transportation easier and ensures a more relaxed neck position during breaks.
Technology for long sessions
The technical features of the Cloud Flight 2 Wireless are clearly designed for gaming and multimedia applications. HyperX uses 50 mm drivers with angled alignment, which, according to the manufacturer, deliver “e-sports level” precision in the sound image. With a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz at 32 ohms impedance, the headset covers the usual hi-fi range and is said to reproduce both deep bass and clear highs.
The battery life is particularly impressive: up to 100 hours are possible, which allows several weeks of operation without recharging with average use. The connection to the end device is either low-latency via the 2.4 GHz dongle or flexible via Bluetooth 5.3. For owners of certain HP Omen laptops, the “Instant Pair” feature is also available, which makes the dongle superfluous. Media functions and mode changes are controlled via buttons directly on the headset, which allows for quick adjustments during operation.
Versatile microphone solution and accessories
Another feature of the Cloud Flight 2 Wireless is the combination of two microphones: an internal one for spontaneous voice recordings or phone calls and a detachable 10 mm boom microphone for clear voice transmission in gaming or streaming mode. This flexibility makes it possible to switch between maximum voice quality and discreet everyday mode depending on the situation.
In addition to the headset itself, the scope of delivery includes a USB-C dongle, a USB-C to USB-A adapter and the aforementioned detachable components. This makes the Cloud Flight 2 Wireless not only technically versatile, but also easy to maintain and customize.
Conclusion
The HyperX Cloud Flight 2 Wireless combines a unique pilot design with features that are equally tailored to long gaming sessions and flexible everyday use. The long battery life, dual connectivity option and customizable components make it an attractive overall package. Pricing and availability details have not yet been officially announced, but the market launch is expected to take place soon.
