This is identical to my Kingston Hyper X Cloud II in every way except color from what i can see. Kingston really started to release a shit ton of these almost identical headsets and branding them as new products. Headset is good. 7.1 surround is a gimmick at best. Microphone is garbage.

I was just about to comment the exact same thing. Although, the headband doesn't have any accent stitching and looks a bit cheaper.
