Kingston HyperX Cloud II: Left and center channel swapped

Fri, 05 May 2017 11:14:36 -0700

Hello, I am having a problem with my HyperX Cloud 2. I had to buy a new jack, and now I am having an issue with the sound channels. The right one is fine but the left channel is played like the center and center is played only from the left speaker. Microphone and right channel work perfectly. Any ideas?

Thank you.

HyperX Cloud Alpha: Microphone doesn't pick up any sound

Sat, 10 Dec 2022 13:18:51 -0700

I bought a second hand pair of Hyperx Cloud Alpha headphones. First thing that I observed was, the microphone wasn't picking any sound.

I tried different types of solutions online but with no result.

I plugged the microphone directly into the microphone jack and it worked. After that I verified if the microphone line on the cable was continuous, it was.

In the end I took apart the headphones and found this:

There wasn't any resistor where it's showing on the board, the question is, does someone know the value of that resistor?

Or if a dirrect connection will work without affecting the microphone/headphones.

Edit:

These are the photos for the pcb backside:

Kingston HyperX Cloud II: Wiring diagram for HyperX Cloud PS4

Sat, 01 Aug 2020 16:39:40 -0700

I tried scraping off the hot glue from the broken jack and ended up cutting the wires off of the solder points. I have no idea where they are supposed to go. The colors I have are Red, Green, Blue and White(copper wrapped around it). Where does each color go on the new jack? Picture shown with numbers

Kingston HyperX Cloud II: How to fix the volume wheel and buttons (Cloud ii Wireless)?

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 15:26:49 -0700

Currently my headset’s volume wheel still spins but does not register volume adjustments correctly: trying to turn volume down makes volume fluctuate and rise slowly instead and turning volume up is not a smooth action (not the hardware, but software). My headset’s power button is very “creaky” and does not feel like it will last. The former is not a serious issue since I have media keys but disappointing nonetheless and the later concern is something I feel will break down the road making the headset useless.

Long story short, one ear cup became…detatched…from the headphone wiring (and also the pads on the PCB) before note was taken of original placement. Now if the pads on the pcbs were the same we wouldnt be having this conversation. The original wires(from top to bottom of yellow PCB) are red/blue/white/red-gold/green.

There are no inner wires in any of them, just the cloth strings for strength. The markings on the pads (blue pcb) read(from top to bottom:): Batt/TS/GND/speaker-/speaker+.

Yellow pcb reads Batt/what im pretty sure reads 'mic'/GND/

Amp_r_n/amp_r_p

Now intitially i soldered it together as shown here

But it left a horrible buzz in the left ear and no mic. Any

Kingston HyperX CloudX: Right Earcup Sound Failed

Sun, 03 Apr 2022 22:24:31 -0700

So, I have a pair of Kingston HyperX CloudX Headphones that in the past fell so many times and I have checked the Solder Joints, but there are no issues. It looked like there was a missing lead, but I'm not sure if there is supposed to be another wire, so I'm not sure. Anyone have ideas of fixes? If anyone asks me to do so, I will take pictures of the wiring.
