I’m looking into getting the HyperX Cloud Flight or the HyperX Cloud Flight S. The major difference I care between these 2 models is which one has better pads? From the images the S model seems better in that regard.
Does anyone have experience with these 2? Is the S model worth the extra $$?
Quoted from Tomshardware The Cloud Flight S does offer better frequency response over wireless than the Cloud Flight, on-earcup controls and Qi wireless charging. But the original Cloud Flight further makes a case against the Cloud Flight S by including the option for using a 3.5mm cable, which the Cloud Flight S lacks. While it’s nice to forego the relatively feature-bereft NGenuity software in favor of onboard controls and wireless charging, these features don’t feel like must-haves – especially when you consider that you must buy a Qi charger separately to take advantage of a new gimmick for which you’re already being charged.
But if you’re really excited about wireless charging and don’t care about the costs required to get it with your headset, the Flight S is one the Cloud line’s most usable and comfortable cans.
now my thoughts, flight S has better pads but if your only worried about the pads… go buy better ones as both are pretty terrible to begin with and your better off going to grab something from brainwavz even that will be better.
I suppose I should really edit this a bit. I really wasn’t a fan of either headphones. Hyperx cloud flight original is a W signature with a hell of a lot of bass to the point of muddy in the mids and HyperX cloud Flight S isn’t as bad but the mids are badly scooped out which just didn’t sound all too great to me. I much preferred the sound of the Coolermasters lineup than I did the flights and since the creation of MH670 I much prefer the quality of that particular headphone as it’s quite lovely with even an equalizer software for it.
