Today my 2nd pair arrived...The picture you see is the 1st pair I owned and why these are not getting a 5 out of 5 but I will 100% tell you to still buy them.Let's play good bad and ugly.-THE GOOD-SOUND - great, these were perfect for the footsteps of fellow tarkov tryhards giving you enough clarity to know if it was left right up down or middle. The base, mid, and highs are all good. If your a gamer the 53mm drivers are more than adequate to rattle your ears. I like the rest of you, want the very best I can get for my dollar and these really perform well.MIC - it's actually not that bad. The noise cancellation does a good enough job that it will miss about 90% of ambient noises in the room. From Rust players making the mistake of thinking I was a YouTube content maker because of the clarity and smooth output that the mic picks up. It's not a 500 dollar mic but it's way better than everything in its price range.COMFORT- Now I'm not telling you to touch grass, but please do so.....BUT for the rest of us having extended periods of playtime we all can agree that ear aches, head aches, hot spots, pinching, and all around suckyness of discomfort around your head will wreck any play session. Having a adult large dome I was limited in what really worked and what I tested, but out of around 7 headsets these are hands down the most comfy for long periods, the faux leather is soft, the band around your head is light and it cups around your ears are soft as can be.Noise suppression from the outside is also great keeping real life from ever being able to let you know it's still there. 👌BATTERY - Just like a new phone you will have awe aspiring battery life at the start but what about by the end of the life cycle?Still not bad actually. With a full charge it still can put out around 12 hours before needing a charge. Charging still is fast and takes maybe 20 minutes to go from 0 to 100%. If you just plug it in at the end of the night you will never worry about it dying.WIRELESS RANGE - Now obviously this is dependent on how many walls and interference and whatnot, but the cloud II's were able to go at least 6 feet further than the turtle beachs top model with less distortion. I could go anywhere in my house and even 75 feet away outside and still send and receive clearly.-THE BAD-So those plastic pieces of junk holding those red frames in. As you saw in the photos both sides were broken and I know why exactly they failed.For all you with kids, significant others or anytime your keeping an ear out which means one headphone is pulled usually off right? Well the design flaw is when you add just that little bit of flex the plastic housing holding it in eventually is going to snap. Now believe me that I 100% have dropped these countless times, pulled on them, used them, out the set through its paces that any reasonable consumer would. And for what it's worth I'm not surprised these failed after 2.5 years. Can't really be that mad, but something to be aware of.MUTE BUTTON - The button finally failed which was the end result of maybe pressing it a few thousand times. Just quit the other day giving me that last reason to ditch this old pair.- THE UGLY-there is not really I can hate on this thing in the looks dept. Some people want the rgb experience in their face and ears beaming from their headset, I would rather have something where my money goes to better drivers, better noise cancellation and weight reduction...they nailed all that in these.Why did I purchase again?2.5 years of abuse, great sound, nice mic, wireless, price to my door was $114.00 which is phenomenal at its price. I've got 260 dollar headsets in the box now because I'm sticking with these. Maybe they addressed the plastic retainers in the cloud III but at 164.00 I'm kinda broke ATM and these I know for a fact work just fine.Stop looking, get them. You will not be disappointed.
