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
Being Kingston's third revision of a great headset, I think they did an excellent job. The sound quality was superb and matched my $350 headset that I use every single day. Build quality of the Revolver could be better with a stronger frame and cutting ba...
Overall I think the HyperX Cloud Revolver is an excellent headset with quality and performance you'd typically associate with much higher end headphones. It's clear that HyperX does a lot of work tuning their headsets for that perfect sound signature and...

Sturdy frame, Great audio quality, Crisp, effective mic, Comfy ear cups and design
All-black clip is difficult to operate in dark rooms, Still needs preamp for pro stream setups, Bulkier than most
The Cloud Revolver is a durable workhorse of a headset, combining a sturdy frame and conventional design into a premium, gaming-first package with only a few nitpicks holding it back
Abstract: The HyperX Cloud Revolver is a high end stereo headset that can be used with just about any device thanks to its use of the 3.5mm audio jack... sorry iPhone 7 users. The closed, over the ear design with 50mm drivers creates a studio-grade sound stage, whi...
Starting with the negatives about this headset, they are not about the sound quality at all. The first is the cord. This isn't really a negative other than I would need to remove it to walk more than 10 feet from my PC. Wireless is great for chatting or s...
Comfortable suspension-band design, Solid sound for its price
Metal band has a tendency to reverberate when touched, Inline controls are as middling as the standard Cloud line
The biggest problem with the HyperX Cloud line is that it hit such a high point the first time around. Great performance, cheap price—it's hard to top that. The HyperX Cloud Revolver isn't a bad headset—it's more comfortable than the original Hyper...

From the moment I opened the box, I was instantly met with the strong impression of high quality. I generally try not to let first impressions play too heavy a role in my reviews, but this product screams quality right when you take it out of the box.Fir...

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...
