Hyper X Cloud Revolver Gaming Headset - REVIEW

2016-06-24
hey everyone Jimmy Wiggins review room continue to focus on PC gaming products on the channel I wanted to review McLeod revolver headset from HyperX considering the prices on these are not bad at all for what it has to offer now retail it's a hundred and fifty dollars but on Amazon they're going for about a hundred and twenty and considering HyperX is claiming studio-grade surround sound a quality built headset and a noise cancelling microphone this might be a great alternative to the more expensive competitors out there now click on my links in the description below my links will give you the most updated prices as of today in real time if you do decide to purchase it does help go towards the channel so without further ado my work is here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to jim's review room going over the physical features these are a beefy pair of headphones yet with some originality as well the metal band going across the top is not only for Cosmetics it's fixed and it holds the actual headband in suspension when you have this on your head the headband automatically extends up when you put these down here creating almost like a floating effect but I'll detail more in my comfort test shortly moving down to the ear cups these are huge of 50 millimeter drivers on either side with very comfortable ear pads that were softer than the creative soundblaster ht5 headset that I just finished reviewing now this is a closed back design made of plastic with some metal parts being exposed to touch on the other side here there's no RGB or any sort of lighting on these headphones so these cloud revolvers won't be glowing while you're playing which I'm perfectly fine with now as for quality and durability during my stress test here these things didn't crack or squeak here and as HyperX predominately uses the metal band up top the band doesn't stretch or bend which is always great now the only thing though if you aren't any on traveling with these the cloud revolvers and don't fold in they again are pretty bulky now moving down there is a detachable microphone that's very flexible I do admit the performance is very good for a gaming headset here I notice this does make my noise or nose I'm sorry a little bit nasally if that's a word there but comparing to others in this price range the microphone and the revolvers here it does perform better now here's a quick sample alright folks here is the microphone test on the cloud revolvers as you guys can hear it sounds pretty darn good pretty decent for a pair of headphones again this is the top-of-the-line model from HyperX so hopefully we're anticipating some good audio performance again this is all completely unedited at any changement voice or anything and I hope you guys enjoy this sample here after the review enjoy the rest getting back to the headset and finishing up although the mic is detachable I would have liked to see the audio cable removable as well it's long enough coming in at one meter or 3.3 feet for those in America here to use with my PlayStation 4 controller now if you are intending on using this headset predominantly on the PC there's an extension while offering another two meters or 6.5 feet that splits into a mic and audio jack now the only problem if you are a console player though you don't have microphone capabilities since the headset controller is on the extension cable and without that extension cable the headset will work of course but you can't mute or adjust volume so just heads up on that again if you are a console player and last regarding comfort here I did weigh these myself and got around 336 grams coming from reviewing tons of other headphones so far on the channel anything over 300 grams is usually heavy to me however these things feel surprisingly light for the weight and I think it's very much due to that suspension system that they're using now they're just very minor pressure the crown of the head and right at the jawline but having these on for about two hours straight gaming no wearing fatigue whatsoever but now getting into the sound test here one of the first things that you will notice right away is indeed that open soundstage headphones do give you a sense of airiness when you're environments especially in the division when you're in the middle of the city hear the ambient noise around you will flood in and immerse you into the game now playing doom this sound is very expansive the bass is tight is not deep or rumbling if anything it's more punchy the mids are great with voice is very much standing out here almost as though they're coming from a dedicated center channel and the highs here although at highs at times sometimes a little bit more than what I want though but it's not ear ringing especially at the log here it's a game play and there's very minor listening fatigue after playing for a good hour to two with behind pretty much up high but other than that for personal gaming or even competitive play the spatial awareness the clear mids this is the way to go and on all my headphone and headset reviews here I've tested this with my DAC or amp and I didn't notice any improvement on these ones here putting these right into the computer words and great from the get-go so that's basically it for this review be sure to LIKE and subscribe and add me on to
