Hyper X Cloud Revolver S: RIP ASTRO A40's

2017-05-10
my phone a forties broke and well what is up guys is BT back here again with another review today I'm going to be reviewing an awesome pair of gaming headphones by HyperX called the revolver S's now in the past I've owned their cloud tools which are really good but they weren't great the surround sound and those sounded very artificial I should say superficial artificial and that happened when the sound card was activated which was pretty disappointing I mean they came in at about a hundred dollars you know we expect a little bit more and what I set out to do is is to find out have the revolver s's fixed hyper clouds problem so I was excited to see that their revolver SS came out at a retail price of 150 for the PC and ps4 with what seemed to be better comfort and better sound I mean it better be for $50 more right so let's see how they perform today so let's start off with the comfort and design now the first thing you may notice and that you will notice when you pick these up is how light they are and I love the black and the silver the gutta metal look of these it just makes it very modern it'll give a very modern touch to your setup to your gaming setup the headband is really nice I like the design where the top cushion once you put your head into it it will fit snugly to your head so you're not going to have all that that plastic and all that or even leather sometimes just sliding back or whatever during an intense game when you're like moving your head around trying to look all over the screen right I also like that they braided the cord it's a very nice touch obviously we've all been there where we will set our headsets down the next day somehow I don't know what kind of wizardry this is but our our headphone courts are always tangled the rubber makes it so hard to to unwrap so that kind of fixes that problem now with the memory cup foam they are very very comfortable but but they do give a little bit of Jaffa Teague which is when you put them on the back the lower side of these headphones will actually be pressed pressing down and clamping onto your head so it'll give there's some pressure there so if you don't really like that these aren't going to be for you now they also have a detachable mic which I really like you know you can put in your own mic or whatever else you would like to do I do wish that they would have had another mic jack on the other side on the right Cup so you know some people like to have it on the right or some people like to have it on the left so it would have been nice just to have that choice but all in all the comfort and design is great good at I should say not great there's a lot of great things about these but I think the pressure near the jaw kind of it makes me take them off after a certain amount of hours of playing games so next up let's talk about the sound now if you're coming from the HyperX cloud too and wondering if you should upgrade to words do it the sound upgrade alone is worth it explosions and games and movies and TV shows are just so satisfying with Adobe Digital active even when I'm watching twitch streams it'll give me that same 3d stage so I can watch my favorite streamers on overwatch and and still get that experience like I'm there with them playing at the end of the day these are made for gaming you can hear enemy footsteps creeping up behind you but little do they know you have the revolver s's so you can just turn around and burn them as they say surprisingly though these actually sound pretty good for music there's a lot of separation with the 7.1 surround sound card by myself reaching less and less for my audio file great headphones my thousand dollar headphones my $400 headphones these will satisfy me if I just want to listen to a quick tune or two you know here and there I don't have to go and switch off just to get good sound the bass is really good with these and the sound state is also great they've managed to kind of balance a open stage and a closed back headphone all in one gaming headphone which is really nice now the sound card on the HyperX cloud twos they just were how should I say it it wasn't that great it sounded very artificial but with these they've kind of fixed that problem I think they've kind of figured out a good sound card that they can put into the remote to actually give good sound and when you have that isolation you're going to be in your own little world these isolate like crazy you cannot hear people coming up from behind you in real life and that's kind of scary but at least you know you will be deeply immersed into your games at least for me I haven't really tried that many gaming headphones if you guys have tried any that you think will beat these or if you've tried these and you know of some that are better let me know down in the comments below but as for right now I do believe that these sound better than the astro a40 s with the mix app even so next up I'll let you guys be the judge of the mic test so here it is testing testing 1 2 3 there's gonna be right behind you how do I sound guys we're flying tinnie let me know okay so what did you guys think was it clear I think it sounded pretty clear I thought it sounded pretty good I haven't had any complaints from my friends playing overwatch or anything like that or my teammates saying I'm too low because I read about them being really low on Amazon that just hasn't been my experience so in conclusion these are my favorite gaming headphones and I'm glad that I picked them up I'm kind of glad that my a forties diet it's kind of a blessing in disguise I can wholeheartedly recommend these to you guys the surround sound is great the comfort is good but not great the mic is clear and what more could you ask for what are you waiting for go out and buy these right now they're a steal alright guys so thank you guys for watching thank you guys for tuning in and I will see you guys
