HyperX Cloud Revolver - Gaming Headset with HyperX 7.1 Surround Sound, Signature Memory Foam, Premium Leatherette, Steel Frame, Detachable Noise-Cancellation Microphone

This is a fantastic headset from hyper x, the build quality is fantastic and it supports both pc and console. The sound quality is great and it even features 7.1 surround sound. The headset is very comfortable for long sessions as is the case with most HyperX headsets. Overall its a great headset and a must buy for the gamer in your life.

In terms of sound quality, these are the best gaming headphones I have tried. In games, the 7.1 audio is immediately noticeable and all sounds are crisp so I can make out what they are and where they came from. The earcups do a great job at keeping any sound from leaking in our out. When listening to music both the background music and vocals are clear and the headphones are great at canceling any noise around me. In my mind, they shine the brightest when watching action movies, each explosion has an extra punch and along with the great fit immerses you in what youre watching. Putting these on for a late-night movie is an experience you have to try if you decide to buy them. Where I have problems is with the comfort of the headphones. The moving headband design is nice because it takes the pressure off the top of your head, but that pressure has to go somewhere to keep the headphones on your head and so they go to the ear cups. As someone with glasses, within 30 minutes of putting these headphones on, I start to feel slight discomfort right where my glasses rest, and within an hour its a fairly noticeable discomfort. I have to take them off for a bit to almost rest my ears which can really break my immersion in a game or movie. My second smaller problem is the microphone, it sounds fine however it picks up breathing so easily and positioning it in a way where it doesnt pick up breathing instead just makes you sound really quiet. My older HyperX headphones came with a little foam windscreen and it was a great addition, I wish they did the same for these. Overall, they are nice headphones that I will continue using despite the problems however if you are someone with glasses who wears headphones for hours on end be warned that these are not very comfortable.

Great headphones!

This is easily the best headset I’ve owned and I recently bought a PlayStation brand one and it beats that one. Comfort perfect. Long cord, great sound. Buttons work well. I definitely recommend these if you are seeking good gaming headphones

Everything is great, the headset is comfortable, but there is this weird white noise that turns on and off depending on whether or not there is sound playing. You could be watching a video with it constantly in the background, and you can pick up on it when it goes silent, then after about 5 seconds the white noise turns off. Im considering returning this headset because of this reason.

I think my trust in the HyperX brand is probably misplaced. Ive had great luck with HyperX memory and thought that the expansion into accessories like this would be similarly good -- but thats not my experience. Right off the bat, the sound quality is pretty lackluster in every regard. If these had been some crazy knockoff brand name headphones that cost as much as if youd dropped off the 1 from the price, theyd have hit my expectations. This was my immediate takeaway when playing CoD, and even firing up TFC from the long-long ago. The microphone bends, but not in place. So I found myself needing to lift the microphone several times, because it wasnt picking up my voice -- and wouldnt stay in place when I positioned it where it needed to be. Even the cheapest-you-can-get-me headsets will stay in place, so that was a major disappointment. The fit is also pretty sad. I didnt understand the super high placement of the metal enclosure at all. It flexes, but it also pinches. So, the headset slides all around the top of my ears, while the bottom and front sides of the earphones pinch uncomfortably hard. When I took them off for further examination, I realized that the metal cage is one fixed piece, and the foam headpiece just kind of flops around with really weak elastic. After about 30 minutes or so, I was rocking a headache from wearing these. On the upside, I didnt have any trouble getting these to work with my system with the lame USB DAC they include. The chassis of the DAC seems pretty cheap, which is especially strange for how often its going to bang against things for how awkwardly placed it is - relative to how much they invested in putting metal in the headphones themselves. Overall, its like this probably started out as a good idea, and different committees turned it into the mess that they ended up selling.

came with no harm

It sounds like I’m listening to music through a cardboard tube in a bathroom. I had a previous HyperX headset that I used for years and years until it broke, because I loved it so much. But this pair is horrible.

Already read a bunch of reviews about these headphones so when I got them I wasn’t blindsided. Now to be honest it doesn’t drive the bass like the claims says it doesn’t especially with the 7.1 surround on but I don’t have a lot of music blaring in my ear when I game anyway. I turn the music down just enough for a little background noise. I’m more impressed by the competitive edge it gives you in multiplayer matches. Boom mic is solid, construction and comfort are top shelf. So the bad reviews you might hear are from people that expect professional sound for an $80 price. You want over the top sound put up $200 plus and get that. You want some decent gaming headphones these babies are your huckleberry. No BS here.

Comfort: You’ll need a giant melon for these to work. My 7&1/4 hat size just doesn’t have enough distance between the ears to get the cups parallel because the cup articulation is so limited. On top of that, the headband tensioner is really weak-sauce. These keep drifting down to perch on my masseter muscles, which is disconcerting and uncomfortable. I really hate wearing these. On an expense vs comfort scale, of all the $100 plus headphones I have these are easily the least comfortable. 7.1 setup Easy-Peasy, and on this set of cans at least, the included virtual 7.1 sounds better to me than virtual atmos piped through the TRRS jack. Sound: With the 7.1 dongle lit up, the bass rolls off and these sound better. In game sounds and voices sound natural and I was able to get the position information that I want in-game...but the dongle is a downer. Just hooked up to TRRS listening to tunes and doing calls on my iPad: No dongle with the iPad, so mute is on-screen which is perfectly fine, but bass is way out front. Listening to Jimi H “Born Under a Bad Sign” you can really pick out the bass part, way beyond “warm” sound towards broken. For $150 these should sound so much better. Dongle & controls: There are no headphone-mounted controls, so you’re left with the dongle on USB. On the dongle you can set levels for mic and headset on a couple of sliders, mute the mic, or turn virtual surround on/off. You can clip the dongle to yourself but there’s no good way to tape it or lay it on a desk because the clip is fixed. The dongle isn’t awesome. I’d maybe go so far as to say that it’s poorly thought out, even bad. Other stuff: Packaging is fantastic. Really nice looking box. $150 headphones with a non-replaceable cord... Really? Ear cups are gigantic. No matter how huge you outer ears are, these cans will cover them.
