HyperX Cloud II Wireless vs Jabra Elite 45h

The sound is really great (sorry, don't really know how to describe these things yet) and totally different to my previous headsets. I owned the HyperX Cloud II and some no-name amazon headset and I'm glad that I switched. I was really suprised what open-back really mean. Currently I only have the headphones, so no dac/amp or anything (yeah, shame on me, sorry for that) but I'm looking forward on buying a proper interface, since I'm also going to buy a microphone

My other consideration was the Jabra Elite 45h and the JBL T600NC BT but since I have to order them online and I can’t try them out myself, I decided to pass. Overall, I feel like this is an upgrade to the Pioneer, I just wish that it has more bass for the occasional EDM on my playlist. For everything else, this is the perfect headphone (at least in my price range and area).

I have a separate mic so I dont need a mic on the headphones. Previous headphones have always made me sweaty, fatigued and just plain uncomfortable.

Available in black, navy blue, beige with gold details, black with gray details, or black with copper details, the supra-aural (on-ear) Elite 45h headphones have plush memory foam earpads lined with a leatherette covering. The underside of the headband is a cushioned, rubbery material, for a secure, lightweight fit that's comfortable over long listening sessions. Perforations on the interior of the leatherette look cool, but also cleverly denote the left and right earcups. Internally, 40mm drivers deliver a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz

I'll start with the main con and why I gave it three stars. No matter the drivers or the program to use with this headset. What I found to minimize/ get rid of popping/crackling is not using dtsx/spatial sound. Also turning off Exclusive mode and audio enhancements in control panel > sound

Mine came untied the third time I used it, and went back into the interior of the seam that houses it, never to be recovered. Oh well. The only real drawback, and unfortunately the issue that keeps me from giving a better rating, is that the phones settle awkwardly, the on-ear cups sit at an angle that doesn't allow a secure fit, aren't adjustable enough to correct this, and so are likely to fall off one's head and crash to the floor. I've had these a little over a month, and while the noise-canceling works, and the sound is quite good, the fact that I can't depend on them staying on my head severely limits their usefulness

Overall good: Comfortable to wear, good sound, good mic and no need to plug it in everyday. The cons of this headset. This is my opinion, and I understand that some will roll their eyes are some of this, or disagree, but this is what I don't like about them: Wear: No cons, they are some of the most comfortable headphones I have owned. Sound: The sound is really good on these

This is my first set of bluetooth headphones so maybe that is the difference. The not so good (but not bad) is the comfort. I didn’t really pay attention but I would call these “on the ear” headphones and not “over the ear” and I now realize I prefer over the ears. The padding is a little stiff so I have to give that a ding

At 300+ hours of use, there's almost no other gaming headset in the ballpark of comparison. As a result, this has become my de facto workhorse for communications at the office. I could use these at the office every day for over a month before needing to charge it. If you find yourself not wanting to charge yet another device, but still want a wireless headset, this one is for you

Please allow me to put this review in context. I am an older male with mild tinnitus, neck problems, a large-ish head and a collection of cheap and expensive headphones which I cannot or will not take outside or wear for prolonged periods. I don't fancy myself an audiophile, but as a musician I can identify and appreciate quality sound reproduction. My hope for the Jabra Elite 45h was to find a reasonably-priced set which allows me to listen to music and answer calls for extended periods using my cell while on long walks/hikes outdoors

This is a nice inexpensive headset. Great sound and overall quality. Didn’t want to spend $300 or $400 for too of the line.

For the price, I think these are a great value. They sound (to my extremely amateur ear) substantially better than Apple earbuds, and I can continue wearing them for hours without discomfort. The only drawback is that the fit is rather loose on my (presumably) average-sized head (for an adult male). They'll stay in place while I work at my desk and during long walks, but tend to slip off while doing tasks that require looking down (especially while cooking and doing the dishes)

They swivel in all the necessary directions for a good fit, and a comfortable drop around the neck, but they don't fold or anything, so they're best when they stay at the desk, rather than in transit in a bag. The battery life is fantastic. It's rated at 30 hours, which means that I can go a week or even longer without charging these headphones, even when each day I'm using them for 6 or so hours. This may be due to the battery saving auto-shutoff that they have, or it could be that HyperX underestimated their own batteries

Battery life is amazing! I'll connect them at the start of my work shift, listen to music, take calls, video conference with my team, and then after work keep listening to music and video chat with my family - I've gone 3 days without needing to charge them. Colleagues and family both say that they can't hear any background noise when I wear these (compared to my SkullCandy headphones). I highly recommend these to anyone looking to "cut the cord".

The fact that these are wireless is such a convenience! I've been playing the aforementioned games and had to use the bathroom only to hurry back because I heard footsteps approaching or some other alarming sound haha It's really been a lifesaver. Besides games, being able to go get a drink and still hear my show has been nice too. I'm sure there are better headsets out there, but these seemed good for the price and after a year and a half of near constant use I'm still very happy with them. I would buy them again in a heartbeat if something happened to my pair

recently bought a wireless jabra elite 45h headset and was able to connect my pc and iphone to it, at the same time (both devices connected via bluetooth).
