What reviewers liked

And between the cushy memory foam earcups, the rich audio and the category-leading 30 hours of battery life, I could literally wear it all day.

Excellent battery life, a durable design, and great noise isolation bolster a solid-sounding headset into a top-tier pick.

- PC World

It’s light, comfortable, sounds good, and has the best battery life of any wireless headset we tested as long as its LEDs are off.

- New York Times Wirecutter

If 30 hours of battery life sounds like a killer feature to you, there’s no other headset that can match the HyperX Cloud Flight in longevity.

- Tech Radar

The HyperX Cloud Flight is a fantastic, no-frills wireless headset, delivering great sound, a crisp mic and long battery life, with one of the lightest and most comfortable designs out there.

- Tom's Guide

The Cloud Flight have a good, well-balanced sound, a great mic, and very little latency when using wirelessly with your PS4 or PC.

- RTINGS.com

Headset features an extra long microphone that hits well in front of the wearer's mouth for clear audio pick up.

- BestReviews

They’re also a great choice for gaming thanks to their well-balanced sound, low latency wireless connection and excellent microphone that delivers great recording quality and captures speech very well.

- Forbes

The HyperX Cloud Flight checks all the boxes for a wireless gaming headset: big, dynamic, and lag-free sound; a comfortable design; and a versatile construction that lets you plug in and detach the mic for mobile use.

What reviewers didn't like

I've spent a little over a week using the PC- and PS4-compatible Cloud Flight as my daily driver, and it's not perfect. It doesn't have quite the stellar wireless range of, say, the Logitech G533, and I'll take a flip-up or retractable microphone over the Cloud Flight's detachable mic any day.

The one sticking point for me? At $160, the Cloud Flight is priced higher than most of the mainstream competition nowadays.

- PC World

The audio controls on the Cloud Flight are acceptable, but not great.

- New York Times Wirecutter

Unfortunately, the Cloud Flight only outputs a 2.0 stereo sound, so you won’t get the same surround-sound awareness of the 7.1 channel

- Tech Radar

However, if style and features are a big concern, you might want to consider some alternatives before you take the plunge.

- Tom's Guide

Unfortunately, they do not isolate well in loud noisy environments and they're a little bulky and unstable so they won't be the best headphones to use while commuting or running.

- RTINGS.com

Sounds quality is not as clear and dynamic as others HyperX models

- BestReviews

Unfortunately, there is no companion app and the sound can’t be customized.

- Forbes

Despite its many charms, however, it just barely fails to unseat the SteelSeries Arctis 7 as the pinnacle wireless headset for gamers thanks to its lack of virtual 7.1 surround and its reliance on plastic, but it's close.
