The editors didn't like
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

Very sturdy and light weight, Great spacial locality / soundstage, Extremely efficient
Bass seems to fade at higher volumes, Not a great fit for small heads, Did I mention the lack of bass?
Ultimately, in the end I was pretty disappointed in the HyperX Cloud Revolver Gaming Headset. For being advertised as having studio-grade sound and coming with a matching sticker shock, I had expected quite a bit more for overall sound quality. Not to be...
