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
Abstract: Hearing a whizzing or cracking sound is last thing you ever want to hear and, it may even be the last thing you hear if you are being shot at! On first/third person shooter games like PUBG, being able to pinpoint the direction where hail of g...

In the range of headsets that we've discussed here, there are actually no models that will really disappoint. It is notable, however, that the three motherboard manufacturers still have a lot of work to do; the Asus, Gigabyte and MSI models were least con...
The Cloud Revolver is a solid headset, providing crisp mids and highs and punchy bass on top of a svelte, comfortable set of earpads. Its only real knocks are that its rigid metal frame make it less portable and tough to fit into satchels or bags, and its...

It's been a long time since I've come across a Headset that can challenge the original HyperX Cloud as the best sub one hundred pound Headset, but at last we have a real challenger. The HyperX Cloud Revolver actually sounds better than the original Clo...

To kick the performance off, we'll start with the Mic. As Mic's go, this one isn't the best available these days though it does the job. When using it, your teammates will be able to hear and understand you, allowing you to command the battle, or fall in...

For anyone that has read all of the previous pages it will be clear that we are not entirely convinced by the new headset from Kingston. The HyperX Cloud Revolver is certainly not bad, that should be clear. It sounds quite open for a relatively closed h...
HyperX have dabbled in the gaming audio category for a while now and the release of the first Cloud headset was a no brainer, it effectively took what was already offered by Qpad and made it cheaper. They then offered an alternative with a USB v7.1 soundc...
The headband noise reverberation is certainly a concern but, in reality, so long as you don't have annoying friends that go round twanging it at every opportunity, or wear a hoodie while you game, it's unlikely to be a major issue. Similarly, comfort-wise...
