My Favorite Sub-$100 Gaming Headphones: Meet The Kingston HyperX Cloud II

When one of my gaming buddies ceaselessly recommended Kingston's original HyperX Cloud headphones to me last year, I ignored him. Probably because I was content putting Kingston products like system RAM and SSDs in my computers, but didn't associate them with any audio expertise. But when Kingston recently followed up with the Cloud II, Alex was in my face, just shy of demanding that I either request a review pair or outright buy them. This time around I didn't ignore him, which was the best audio-based decision I've made in months, both for my ears and my sanity.
