Introdução
The Kingston HyperX Cloud II headphones are a popular choice among gamers for many reasons. Their quality, affordability, and brand reputation easily makes them a great choice. But what happens if a speaker (or both) is/are dead? In the case that your warranty has expired or you've already claimed it, you've come to the right place.
A note I would like to add is that this guide can be followed (relatively easily) for many other headphones with 50mm drivers. Some popular examples include the HyperX Cloud Revolver, Logitech G Pro X, and Sennheiser HD380 Pro.
Before proceeding, please note that basic soldering is required for this fix. If you are unfamiliar or are uncomfortable with the process, consider seeking the help of someone who has experience, or learn to solder by practicing on some older equipment or scrap piece of metal before continuing.
A guide on iFixit regarding soldering can be found here: Como soldar e dessoldar contatos
This guide shows how to disassemble and replace the speaker drivers in the HyperX Cloud II's step-by-step with many visuals to aid during the process.
First we will begin by removing the ear cushion and the plastic panel to which the speaker is attached. Then, we will de-solder the wires from the speaker's motherboard. It will then be necessary to remove the speaker from the plastic frame it is attached to. Working now with our new speaker, we will use epoxy to secure to that same plastic frame. After the epoxy sets, we will re-solder the wires to the new speaker's motherboard. Next we will re-insert the plastic frame into the earcup, securing it with the remaining plastic panel. Finally we will re-secure the ear-cushion and restore our headphones to working order.
Ready? Let's replace some speakers.

Place the newly assembled panel onto the headphones and part of the cushion as shown in the image. This way is easiest to keep the speaker within comfortable distance of the wiring from the headphones.
-
Solder each wire to the new speaker's motherboard, beginning with the blue one onto the largest of the three metal plates. In this case, start on the right. The red wire will be in the middle. The blue wire will connect on the left side.

Congratulations if you followed along and fixed your headphones. I hope it will help many people restore their headphones to working order.

How about the quality of sound ? In indonesia i just found speaker hifi 50mm with 32ohm, is that okay if i use that ?
Quality of sound is excellent, no difference between the factory speakers. Yes those are fine, as long as they are 50mm. :)
