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

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.

I have tried Razer Kraken Tournament Edition Jeecoo Xiberia USB Pro Gaming Headset HyperX is the best in terms of comfort and quality. You don t need to install the driver. Plug and play. The ear cover is so comfortable. The design allows you to have omni-directional adjustment. It is worth each penny. I bought this for the video conference, so I need the external DAC to mute/adjust the volume. The mute button is lit. It is by far the best I have tried. It seems to be OEMed by Kingston. High quality. Well made.

After continuously buying headsets for my son, we decided to try these out. Definitely worth the price. The sound is crystal clear.

I am more of a fan with wired headphones as they do provide a better sound quality with the wire in my opinion. I no longer have to worry about disconnect or charging my headset. These do work for both mac and windows. It can work for most game consoles as well, but it is more optimized for computer gaming. These headphones are really nice and well built. They are on the pricier side for wired headphones but I think they are worth the price for the quality they provide. Another thing to note is that these headphones are huge and will definitely cover your ears. They are however pretty light even with the bigger size. It does have leather foam for the ear cushions and the sound can be adjusted via a volume wheel on the side. I have not seen too much issue with the volume or even how comfortable these headphones are. They are extremely nice for fitting and comfort. They can be adjusted so if you feel pressure or uncomfortable you can change that. It does take a few uses for the leather to really feel comfortable on you. Also note to keep this away from anything hot or warm as it could cause the leather to crack or break over time. Also be aware that this may irritate your skin over time if you tend to sweat. The sweat mixed with the rubbing from the leather can cause discomfort or irritation. Like a pair of shoes, you have got to break the headphones in. There are no issues with the headphone jack. I do not really hear it effect the sound quality by that much and the sound quality is really good so far. It has surround sound and you can control the sound on the headphones themselves, but there are controls on the cables themselves if you want. The microphone definitely picks up my voice very easily and clearly. In term of blocking out surrounding nose, you have to really make those adjustments. Without a wind guard on the mic you tend to hear a lot of wind blowing especially if you have a fan on you. The device is also very easy to adjust in my opinion to make it definitely feel very comfortable. The black color is great and you can adjust the color of the headphones however you see fit. The picture shows it blue and orange but you can change them to fit more of your computer color scheme. For cleaning, I would say if you can just to wipe it down with alcohol wipes after use and to keep it out of the sun to avoid the leather part from cracking. It is very easily fitting to any head with the adjustment. I have a big head but it fits pretty well and comfortably. The microphone is also adjustable and you can mute the microphone directly on the headphones. Overall I really like these headphones from JBL. They can be pricey but they are worth the money over most other headphones in this price range. It is not wireless which can be a bit of a bummer but make up for it in sound quality. You can also remove the microphone and cable if you happen to need to either replace or travel with these headphones. The cables are made of pretty strong material so you are able to avoid fraying or damage. There is no wind guard on the microphone so you can get ambient noise. It is definitely a product I would recommend for anyone who wants a powerful headset (wired) and works with many different devices.

I like hyperX products but I hate their customer support just horrible in my opinion, but gladly I didnt have to contact them regarding this headset, as its really a basic plug and play head set and that is it, no software support although their software is just horrible but still you cant edit EQ or have presets for different game types or scenarios like movie or music, youre on your own. The headset is not the most comfortable either, I have the cloud flight s and that one is super comfy unlike this cloud revolver I do get irritated because the headset is heavy so after short period of time i do get tired of it. The good thing about this headset would be the 7.1 sound card that you connect it to, it has very accurate positioning and I can pinpoint exactly where the enemy is coming from. Overall, decent quality headphones, but I think its over priced for what it offers.

Muddy mic sound. Somewhat uncomfortable on ears.

Very comfortable with just ok sound. 7.1 dac loses low end and really makes gaming sound cheap. Turn them up enough to get some rumble and the highs are way too tinny and shrill. Could be good for music but not what I use them for. Will connect the 3.5 to sound card and use its eq to hopefully get some use out of them. You have absolutely no settings to adjust using the USB connection. The only buttons on the dongle are volume up/down, mute and 7.1. Id be happy if they were a $60 headset but really dont recommend at this price.

i had a dongle issue where when i would turn on my pc, the headset wouldnt get power. so i would have to turn on my pc and wait a couple of seconds and then plug in the headset for it to get the power. may just be defective one. but it is a thing to keep in mind. other than that, sound quality is phenomenal, especially for gaming and comfort is 100% great!

These are some pretty darn good headphones that suffer the fate that many others do: They start to get a little uncomfortable after a few hours of use. Music sounds good and games sound even better. Especially when compared to my old cheap pair. These may not be perfect, but they are easy to use and the weight is the only thing youll hear me complain about. Well, that and maybe the mic. Im not the biggest fan of this style of mic. Im going to give these to my son for his e-sports competitions. The surround is good enough to be of huge help to him. The price is a bit on the steep end, but I think the quality of these makes it worth it. The other big plus is that these are corded! If you want to participate in e-sports, its best to have wired connections to avoid issues when near other people. If there are tons of wireless devices, it can cause interference with the signal. No problem with that on these. Just make sure you dont try to step away with them still attached to your head! Its liable to yank you back onto the floor. Id get these again in a heartbeat.
