For anyone that has read all of the previous pages it will be clear that we are not entirely convinced by the new headset from Kingston. The HyperX Cloud Revolver is certainly not bad, that should be clear. It sounds quite open for a relatively closed h...
HyperX have dabbled in the gaming audio category for a while now and the release of the first Cloud headset was a no brainer, it effectively took what was already offered by Qpad and made it cheaper. They then offered an alternative with a USB v7.1 soundc...
The headband noise reverberation is certainly a concern but, in reality, so long as you don't have annoying friends that go round twanging it at every opportunity, or wear a hoodie while you game, it's unlikely to be a major issue. Similarly, comfort-wise...

Wide platform compatibility, Easy to use, Softwarefree surround sound
Uncomfortable, No volume control when using 3.5mm
The HyperX Cloud Revolver is easy to use and works everywhere, but at the end of the day, it's poor suspension band just isn't comfortable. For the price, there are better, more comfortable options from the likes of Razer, SteelSeries, Logitech, and even...

Great audio clarity, Steel lends it fantastic build quality, Solid sound out-of-the-box,
Very few audio tweaking options, Can make ears a little warm, Expensive for the offering
HyperX delivers a headset that's meant to roll out of the box and into service. The Cloud Revolver offers 7.1 surround sound for gaming and wide soundscape, and listening to music is a great experience. But the price tag is a stumbling block for what you...
Reduce the length of the cable, Make the headpiece adjustable
The HyperX Cloud Revolver +7.1 is a high-end headset that sounds good for anyone and sounds amazing for video games, especially those that offer 7.1 surround sound. It's easy to set up, has a very long audio cable (probably too long), and comes with a ha...

High quality build, durable and reliable, Incredibly comfortable, letting you wear it for hours without issue, Highquality soundstage that is fantastic for games and music, Works on any platform and device with no issues, Oncable controller for easy volum
No 7.1 surround sound, If the metal support gets knocked, it reverberates throughout the whole headset, Microphone positioning is inflexible with average at best quality
The HyperX Cloud may not be the perfect headset, having some issues like a lack of 7.1 virtual surround sound and a slight issue with noise travelling all way through the headset if you even tap the metal support. However, despite minor issues, it's great...
If you're after a versatile stereo gaming headset that you can use for both gaming and listening to music, then you seriously have to take a look at the HyperX Cloud Revolver Gaming Headset. If you prefer 7.1 Dobly surround sound with USB connector, t...
Soft, comfortable ear cups, Clear mids, regardless of volume, Directional drivers work very well, In-line remote (audio control box), Lightweight, Durable, Multi-device 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 (could possibly be negated given time), Microphone subject to explosions and popping, Price
When trying to gauge and measure the performance of a headset it will come down to sound quality and microphone clarity. The HyperX Cloud Revolver Gunmetal does one of these very well, given that you use it only for gaming, and the other not so much. The...
Flexible cords, Full metal frame that encircles the earpieces, Detachable, flexible, noise-canceling microphone, Closed-back ear cups don't allow much sound to escape and annoy other people, Ear pads work fine with glasses
The self-adjusting headband is a little to loose for my liking, The frame is hard mounted to the ear cups, which means any touching of the frame transmits quite a bit of sound through to your ears
This headset not only sounds great but feels like it is rugged enough to last for many years. Whether gaming or just listening to audio, this headset provides a comfortable and precise audio experience.Price: $119.99Where to buy: HyperX or AmazonSource: T...
