[Fix] HyperX Cloud II annoying high treble and little low bass

Today, I found how to fix my Cloud II horrible boosted treble and very little bass problem.

1. Download and install Equalizer APO from
https://sourceforge.net/p/equalizerapo/

2. During installation, select HyperX Cloud II from the playback devices available and hit OK.

3. Open Equalizer APO Configuration Editor from the start menu.

4. Inside 'config.txt' window, delete the three default presets. (click the red minuses)

5. Click the green plus to add this preset: (Graphic equalizers > 15-band graphic equalizer)

6. Click the little notepad button and copy-paste this config:
GraphicEQ: 25 1.8; 40 1.4; 63 1.4; 100 0.6; 160 0; 250 -3; 400 -4.6; 630 -4.6; 1000 -4.6; 1600 -4.6; 2500 -4.2; 4000 -4.6; 6300 -5.8; 10000 -7.8; 16000 -9

7. Turn off this preset and turn it on again.

That's all, your headset should sound way better than how it came from the box.

thank you so much man! after using razer krakens for a year the bass kinda stuck with me and switching to the drier sound of the hyperx cloud ii was annoying, this is a great alternative tho

I cannot express how much thanks I can give you, after both Razor Krakens and Logitech G430 I've been a bass head hehe, I had a pair of HyperX in case the Logitech would break which it did after 4 years so massive thanks!

Its USB thats why you have issues, get a good analog headset, those USB ones are crap and bypass sound card

Own variation, bass is boosted minimal and trebble is turned down, gives a warmer sound than your preset :)

GraphicEQ: 25 1.4; 40 2.2; 63 1.4; 100 1; 160 0.6; 250 0; 400 0; 630 0; 1000 0; 1600 -1; 2500 -1.4; 4000 -1.8; 6300 -2.6; 10000 -3.8; 16000 -4.6

Made my own preset. I personally think it sounds quite nice. Just try it out!
GraphicEQ: 25 -3.8; 40 0.6; 63 2.6; 100 -1.4; 160 -5.8; 250 -4.6; 400 -6.2; 630 -3; 1000 1; 1600 -0.2; 2500 -4.2; 4000 1.8; 6300 -1.8; 10000 3; 16000 -2.6

PS. Thank you very much for the tip. In like 10 minutes since I got the headset started searching for software or like a equalizer to get rid of the high pitched sound. And here I am.
