HyperX - Cloud II Specs, D2L LAN Finals

This video from Linus Tech Tips focuses on HyperX at CES 2015, highlighting the Cloud II headset in the context of the D2L LAN Finals, a Dota 2 live tournament with a $50,000 prize. Linus explains that the primary interest is the Cloud II headset rather than the Dota 2 match itself, noting that the 53mm drivers, detachable microphone, and improved 100% memory foam ear cushions are key comfort and performance updates over the Cloud I. An inline dongle sound card is introduced, offering USB connectivity for users who want to use the dongle with a computer, or the headset can be used purely via 3.5 mm without the dongle. The Cloud II is described as broadly compatible, able to plug into PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices, making it a versatile option for gaming across platforms. Linus also mentions color options including red, gunmetal, and a limited edition pink and white, which may appeal to fans who want a coordinated setup. The video closes with thanks to sponsors Phantom Glass and HyperX, and a brief nod to upcoming CES content, while encouraging viewers to check out HyperX’s channel for gaming content such as tournaments, profiles, and other coverage. Overall, the segment positions the Cloud II as a comfortable, multi-platform headset with practical accessories and sponsor-backed CES exposure.
