After roughly 200 hours of playback, the headset still had 20 percent of juice according to HyperX's proprietary software.

That said, I tested the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless over the past couple of weeks and I've yet to charge it. Settings such as volume level can of course affect the in-practice battery life. Let’s take a look at what is included with the Kingston HyperX Cloud II headset before we take a listen to how they sound.It's worth noting that, like all battery life figures, this is an 'up to' figure.

Like the Cloud headset, the Cloud II includes a 2 year warranty from Kingston. The HyperX Cloud II has the same 53mm drivers as the original unit with a frequency response of 15 – 25,000Hz.
