    New HyperX Cloud 2 popping/crackling sounds

    Yeah, this is too many people having the same problem now, I've seen several on another board too. It's another defect so I went ahead and sent Amazon my return notice, the same way I had to return my original Cloud's to them. Such a waste. Decided on getting an Asus Xonar card and a Sennheiser...

    New HyperX Cloud 2 popping/crackling sounds

    Just a final heads up: an external, powered USB hub did not fix the issue. So it's not a problem of dirty power. It's either just broken or a hardware fault. After the unusable Cloud 1 mic (the static, not even the quality) i dont trust anyones opinion on the problem either sadly.

    New HyperX Cloud 2 popping/crackling sounds

Ive...

    New HyperX Cloud 2 popping/crackling sounds

Id love to have it...

    New HyperX Cloud 2 popping/crackling sounds

    Exact same problem, did the exact same troubleshooting across several PCs. The first Cloud was amazing, except the mic and it's static They fixed that and broke something else, I suppose. Done with Kingston now and I guess I'll look into returning them to Amazon.
