Hey, I just got hands on the Hyperx Cloud 2 gaming headsets. I watched many reviews of it even reviews and unboxing from 2015. In those reviews, I saw that y adapter was included. I got all other accessories other than the y adapter. It didn't came with the y adapter. In the headband, Hyperx logo was stitched in some youtube reviews. But, the Hyperx cloud which I got doesn't have stitched Hyperx logo but it has a logo which kinda looks like its pressed on leather.So I was wondering, is my Hyperx cloud 2 real or fake? And yeah, The Hyperx logo on the sound card is illuminated in red and the 7.1 surround sound button also illuminated when its pressed. I got the plastic packaging and the headset with the headband where Hyperx logo is pressed on the leather, not the stitched one. Please help. Let me know whether its real or fake.

First off. Never use the USB adapter. Just use your onboard motherboard DAC. Just use 3.5mm

I don't know why it would be fake.

You can see in the image the difference between headbands and the packaging. Thats why I am kinda confused whether its real or fake.

 

clouds have had so many iterations changes are bound to happen in 5 years. looking at different unboxing videos looks liek the red version s which is the most popular models seem to be packaged differently than any of the black and while cloud 2's that I saw unboxed in 2020

Gun metal edition is also packaged in a premium way. You will find it in the first pic...or used to be...but just found out my cloud 2 s are legit original
