The HyperX Cloud Revolver has a focused identity as a durable and comfortable headset for competitive FPS gaming. So far, it is the headset with the best positional audio we have heard and reviewed. Since human hearing fares poorly at determining the dire...

Abstract: I'm not a huge connoisseur of gaming headsets, having my Turtle Beach X12s for the past few years. Even then I use them with my PC more than I do with my Xbox 360. I've never bought a new headset as the X12s work for what I need them to do. However, I rec...
Slightly Below Average Microphone Quality, Metal Headband Ringing Issue
The stitching and embossing on the headband looked great. I also liked the sculptured ear cup with HyperX logos and red highlights. The around ear closed cup design offers good isolation from ambient room sounds. The headband's range of adjustment does no...

Soft, comfortable ear cups, Clear mids, regardless of volume, Directional drivers work very well, Inline remote (audio control box), Lightweight, Durable, Multidevice support, Detachable microphone, Circumaural, closed back design
Tinny sound during music/video playback, Medium sized headband, not comfortable for larger heads due to depth limit, Steel frame very noisy and translates directly to the cans, Microphone not sensitive enough and subject to explosions and popping, Price
In general, gaming headsets fall short of actual headphones in terms of sound. The HyperX Cloud Revolver is no different in that aspect. But as a gaming headset, the HyperX Cloud Revolver performs well, providing good directional sound clarity and crisp...
The Kingston HyperX Cloud Revolver has a MSRP of $120 (Amazon). When it hits retail, it will probably be slightly cheaper. Even at that price, it is a worthy upgrade over the Cloud 2 that we reviewed in the past. If you currently are using a Cloud 2, hang...
