has stereo speakers
✔HyperX Cloud Flight
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
Sound quality
lowest frequency
20 Hz
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
highest frequency
20000 Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
has active noise cancellation (ANC)
✖HyperX Cloud Flight
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
Surround sound
None
Surround sound provides a more immersive listening experience. True surround sound uses multiple audio drivers, whereas virtual surround sound is a software-based solution.
driver unit size
50 mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
sound pressure level
106 dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
impedance
32 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
has a neodymium magnet
✔HyperX Cloud Flight
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
has passive noise reduction
✖HyperX Cloud Flight
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Microphone
has a noise-canceling microphone
✔HyperX Cloud Flight
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
lowest mic frequency
100 Hz
The lowest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording bass.
highest mic frequency
7000 Hz
The highest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording treble.

Its sound is like that of Onikuma K8 headphones

I purchased this product because I became fed up dealing with wires. I previously used wired Onikuma K8s, priced at 15 dollars, and the sound quality is similar. The microphone makes it seem like I have a cold when I speak. The battery life is good, and its comfort level is top-notch, even when I wear glasses. Its connectivity is somewhat close, which somewhat defeats the purpose of it being wireless, but importantly, it can connect to my phone via a USB adapter. If you are considering buying these for the 3.5mm male input, don't - buy it for its comfort. And frankly, don't be fooled into thinking that wireless is necessarily better, honestly consider getting wired ones. If you want to avoid dependence on a single cable, consider getting some Cloud Alphas instead, that's my opinion, thanks.
