Kingston's HyperX has just launched the HyperX Cloud II headset, which features a newly designed USB sound card audio control box featuring 7.1 virtual surround sound. The LED backlit audio control box delivers hardware-based (no drivers needed) 7.1 virtual surround sound with independent audio and microphone volume control. Gamers can toggle on 7.1 virtual Surround Sound with a push of a button to emulate having seven positional speakers for enhanced gaming. HyperX Cloud II is USB-powered for PC and Mac to amplify audio and voice, as well as 3.5mm stereo compatible for PS4 and Xbox One.

The microphone is digitally enhanced with noise cancellation, auto gain control and echo cancellation via the USB sound card. The ear cups and headband are 100-percent memory foam to provide comfort when gaming for hours.

HyperX will also launch its second gaming surface, HyperX FURY Pro Gaming Mouse Pad. Made of cloth material and soft padding, HyperX FURY mouse pads offer precision, comfort and stability.

HyperX Cloud II is available in red, gun metal, and limited edition pink (coming soon) and is backed by a two-year warranty and legendary HyperX reliability.
