Strengths:
Imo these are great sound quality, directional sound is good. The mic is crystal clear even too loud at times I'm told. I like being able to just unplug the mic when I want to. I play a fair bit of br and the directional sound is good(at times it feels backwards tho with headset on properly).
Weaknesses:
The main weakness is too many connection points. It's a flawed design from the box, as an electrician I know the less connection points the better always, with that said the usb to pc can need a wiggle, the jack into the 7.1 module can come loose and the mic jack can come loose so over time these will intermittently disconnect if moved.
Additional Comments:
I've had this headset over a year now and for the price the quality is quite good and they are very comfortable to wear for long periods, the I intermittent connection that WILL develop inevitably because of the design can be annoying sometimes but it's not super frequent. The mic quality is outstanding just bend it closer or further depending g on how loud you speak(I've heard the other end its insanely clear).

From: Calgary
Strengths:
- Comfortable
- Great sound (comparable to my Sennheiser dedicated headphones which was a pleasant surprise)
- Great mic (I am told I sound very clear)
- Contrary to some other reviewers' experience, I did not find that the mic needed to be very close to my mouth for clear reception
- Well built
- Included airplane adapter, protective bag, extra ear cups
- USB and 3.5mm compatible
- In line controls with separate volume, mic volume, and 7.1 buttons.
- Braided cables seem very durable
- Detachable Mic boom
Weaknesses:
- Nothing significant
- USB cable is very long, so you might have to wrap up half of it if you are close to your PC
Additional Comments:
Just buy these, you will not be disappointed. You need to spend around $400 to beat them based on my research and my past experience.

Strengths:
Comfortable for long periods. Directional sound. They are loud I am normally at around 25- 50% volume. The noise cancellation works well and makes it difficult to hear people speaking to me.
Weaknesses:
The mic has to be very close to my mouth to be heard clearly. There is no software to increase mic gain etc. The cord becomes tangled very easily compare to previous headsets. The cord going into the volume/mic toggle has to be inserted all the way for the mic to work (obviously) but often becomes slightly disconnected resulting in loss of only the mic. I do not enjoy the virtual 7.1 as I find it mostly just adds a dead air/hollow sound to game play and I wish the button was more firm or a switch to prevent accidental engagement. I find the bass compared to other headphones to be less and would again like an option to boost it with software.
Additional Comments:
These headphones are still quiet functional but overall I felt for the high reviews the quality would have been better. My old headphones broke (Logitech G430) so I am continuing to use these as they are adequate but in the future may revert back to my old set or look for other options. My two roommates also use these headphones and have no real complaints so it is also personal preference.

Strengths:
-Comfort is amazing, has interchangable pads for soft or leather feel, even forget you have it on which is a goal for me with headsets
-great mic, all my friends say it sounds pretty clean
-USB control for 7.1 is really fun, sound has been perfect for what I need, especially with the frequency range and good drivers and having an analog adapter is super useful to have if you want to switch depending on your device
-this is the most durable headset I've owned, dropped and still looks and feels great
Weaknesses:
-the adapter for headphone jack to headphone and microphone jacks is a small adapter that has a specified length so it doesnt work on all systems.
-Havent seen any ways that its been negative yet.
Additional Comments:
Amazing, recommend this headset to anyone, including the other models in the series (owned the previous downgraded model).

Strengths:
I'm a gamer, and the people I game with are constantly telling me to move the mic closer. Then recently it's been making a ton of high pitched noises and awful sounds. Its a removable mic, and coupled with the fact it plugs into the USB controller, I think there is a flaw with the build.
That being said, if you're not a microphone/gamer these are awesome. The sound is fantastic, and the comfort is better than any other pair I've had for this purpose.
Weaknesses:
Microphone
Lack of software
Additional Comments:
Good for sound, not great for gaming.

Strengths:
Has decent sound. Bass is okay, but there's potential for a rattling sound, but I think that was because I didn't replace the rubber mic plug when I took the mic off
Solid pair of headphones with the headband and braided cord
Leather ear cups are great for the passive noise cancelling
Mic provides strong noise cancelling, but leaves you sounding slightly quiet, maybe even considered distant
Weaknesses:
Bass might be a lil strong
Leather earcups can flatten out a lil, causing the headphones to press against your ear instead of cupping them. Using the alternate ear cups provided fixed the issue, but the passive noise cancelling was lost, even if it was slight.
The virtual 7.1 isn't that great.
Additional Comments:
I got these headphones because I was wow'd by my brothers Razer Chroma 7.1 virtual surround headphones. Unlike the Chroma's, the Cloud II's was only capable of the stereo setting through the sound settings in the Windows 10 control panel, even with the USB's 7.1 button on. The Chroma's registered as 7.1 and likewise with my games.
I wanted the 7.1 virtual surround, so I spent $20 for Razer Surround Pro.
If sound quality is a must, get headphones, not a headset, and get a mic separate.

Strengths:
for one the sound quality in absolutely wonderful especially for the price, the bass is there for games with explosions like mad max but not overpowering. the highs are clean and tight but not ear piercing and the mids are not washed out, the sound quality is superb.
the build quality is really nice with it being made out of billet aluminium and REAL leather, they are sturdy and wont fall apart any time soon.
Weaknesses:
its really hard to find a weakness for them ive been looking for something to say here but the only thing i can really find is that the 7.1 could need a little bit of work but that is all.
Additional Comments:
i would absolutely recommend them, the sound and build quality are great and being able to disconnect the usb sound card and mic makes them a great pair of headphones that you can use with your phone or mp3 player. i can find so many good things with this headset and almost no bad things, i have no option but to give 5 stars and strongly recommend them.
