The HyperX Cloud Flight is one of the best-selling wireless gaming headsets in Canada, with 90-hour battery life, foldable design, and solid stereo sound across PC and PlayStation. Its detachable boom microphone records clear voice chat and the lightweight 309g build stays comfortable during marathon sessions.

That said, yes by direct comparison the Flight is better in almost all measurements. Comfort, quality, durability, and sound are all better. I trialed the HS70 but it clamps down too hard and the earcups are too small so my ears were pinched against my head ... So I returned it, trialed the Arctis 7, returned those, and finally found a good sale on the Flights. Been using them since.

Had these for a while now, and I still think the original Flight is better. It sounds better IMO, and is not plagued with the high level of white noise the S has. It's simple, to the point, sounds great, comfy. Just rocks.

I honestly think the original Flight is a good wireless headphone, not just for a gaming headset. The bass is just a little boomy and boosted, but otherwise the sound quality is pretty good ... the wireless convenience makes up for the gap to an extent. As I said if I could only keep one headphone it might just be the original flight.

Hi, I have the same problem as well, but my headphone had been bought for over a year, which means the warranty is over.. do I need to pay the money for repair? it seems a global problem instead of my personal fault.

I have got the hyperx cloud flight wireless headset for more than a year now. But my volume scroll wheel is not working properly whenever I adjust the volume by the scroll wheel whether i turn it down or up , it always works in an erratic way. So i just adjust the volume on my pc.

I would definitely go with Cloud Flight for the wireless headset. For a wired headset I would go with the HyperX Cloud Alpha's instead.

Did you manage to solve your issue???? I have the same issue with mine. I've updated the headphones but the problem is nowhere to be solved. I had to use volume controls in windows in order to avoid this erratic behavior.

Im having the exact same issue, where i try to increase it and it decreases. My temporary solution is to slighlty push the wheel to the left while i scroll it, which manages to touch the sensor inside or something and correctly adjust the audio. So it seems this is a hardware issue

ClearPick Verdict
Still a competent wireless gaming headset if you find it on sale. The Cloud III Wireless is the better buy at similar prices now.
