Slightly Below Average Microphone Quality
Metal Headband Ringing Issue
Suspension system is a little noisy
Some may find the mids in the audio slightly lacking
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
Reduce the length of the cable
Make the headpiece adjustable
Very few audio tweaking options
Can make ears a little warm
Expensive for the offering
Metal band has a tendency to reverberate when touched
Inline controls are as middling as the standard Cloud line
Uncomfortable
No volume control when using 3.5mm
No virtual 7.1 surround sound
Relatively pricey
Lacks 7.1 Surround Sound
Little Expensive
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
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
Some audio bleed into the microphone
Not comfortable for larger heads due to depth limit (could possibly be negated given time)
Microphone subject to explosions and popping
All-black clip is difficult to operate in dark rooms

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...

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...

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...

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...

When I first put on the HyperX Cloud Revolver the first thing that I thought was that they were really loose on my head. This all has to do with the design and the flexible headband. I have been using the headset for about 3 weeks now so that initial loos...
