In an attempt to fix my HyperX Cloud 2 jack, I read lots of posts about how to repair a 4 pole jack. All the wiring diagrams corresponded to four wires being visible once I stripped the insulation.
But to my surprise there were five wires when I stripped the insulation!
As expected there was a red wire which is for the right channel green wire which is for the Left Channel a red and green wire which is the microphone and then there was an aqua and a copper wire each.
I couldn't find any diagram that corresponded to the Hyperx Cloud 2 specifically so I just had to figure it out by looking at other diagrams and thinking through how the jack might be connected.

Here is the wiring that I ended up doing and it has worked perfectly for mine.
Tip aka pole 1: solder both the Aqua and the Copper colored wires. I believe these are called "common" which some people call "ground."
2nd section down, aka Pole 2: Red wire, which is the Right channel.

Pole 3: Green wire which is Left channel
Pole 4: Red and Green wire, which is the Mic.
Hope this helps!
