Should NY HyperX Cloud 2s be able to be powered off of my headphones jack on my phone?

Yes, but I found with mine that you have to use a special included adaptor.

Ok. I tried earlier and my phone wasnt even acknowledging them, but they made a cracking noise when I unplugged them

Yeh, you need to use the adapter, but even then you only receive sound from one ear, I might be doing it wrong though.

What adapter did you get? The only one I got was the airplane one

I'll quickly try and get you a pic.

Please note exceptional circle that points it out. I use that, but only get sound from one ear, I don't know if i'm doing it right, without it no sound plays and it's not detected.

Hmm. So do you only plug in one of the 3.5mm Jacks?

Yep, hence the one ear sound I guess, i've done my research and found that the headphones uses CTIA sound, (I have no idea what any of this means) and some phones may use OMTP, in which case you need to get a OMTP to CTIA adapter, like the one below:

Ok. I just don't see why you need an adapter but that's just me I guess

Honestly I have no idea, I'm just chucking out what could be wrong, I know nothing about audio.

I got it figured out. If you use a Y splitter with that adapter (1 male to 2 female) it works in both ears.
