This headset is that is very comfortable from start. It is light, but you'll notice pressure dents on your hair/head from the two center pads. Felt and looked weird for me. Wearing a hat solves this.
Ear pads were very comfortable, but overtime you're ears get very sweaty. One note about the ear pads, on the Hyper X Cloud, I'm still using the leather pads and don't find them as sweaty as the 9H's in the same amount of time, though comfort wise, the 9H was a bit better with the larger cups.
The headband I found I never had to re-adjust it. No OCD fit with counting how many notches to make it equal on both sides.
The sound is pretty good, albeit a bit much sparkle at times, but that's a bonus to help hear really quiet sounds. The bass is there and doesn't feel forced. When it wants to boom it will at the extreme times, otherwise, it's blended in well. It isn't overwhelming is what I'm saying. Noise isolation is pretty damn good. I switched between the USB DAC and my X-Fi Forte, and found the Forte to sound better.
Mic is good according to friends. I do like that you could slide it away, but it's a PITA to take out and readjust as it keeps it curved form well.
The volume control is alright, but did notice some static much later on.
Overall, it's good headset for gaming and handles music and movies pretty good. Some of the bad points mentioned are what stirred me away; mostly the static. Hope this helps you in deciding.
