everyone jimmy wooden shims review room I'm trying to step up my game in the online PC gaming community shout out to Detective disrespect for those who know him but I am looking for a better more competitive advantage I still have my Cloud revolvers which are priced at 120 but today we're looking at the revolver s these are priced at 150 and to justify its price HyperX offers and improved noise cancelling microphone slightly improved design and a new digital sound processor that you don't get on the original model as always I'll place my Amazon affiliate links in the video description below click on those links and they'll give you the most updated prices in real time so sit back relax and hopefully videos can help you make that purchase decision welcome everyone to jim's review go over the physical features first they're practically identical to the original leather band feels supple and soft up top the metal wireframe is highly durable and just like the cheaper model it's shockingly performs well for weight distribution considering how heavy these are and because of that HyperX design it's actually more comfortable than my $200 logitech Artemis now there's barely any wearing fatigue at the crown of the head and the clamping force that the jawline is subtle yet it's still comfortable HyperX makes a return with their signature memory foam ear pads which felt decent and because these are over ear closed back headsets my ears do heat up from extended play now no sweating on normal occasions but at times if you're in a warm room or for someone who doesn't have any air conditioning you're going to get ear sweat regardless nasty now the wire is fixed on the side in which I'm hoping for a detachable version as I mentioned in the cloud revolver review wire cheddar is quite apparent though at very low volumes if you move quite a bit or play mostly campaign games and it's really silent in the background that's heavily also involved in dialogue the wire chatter might distract you from your experience but during more intense online gameplay like overwatch or maybe battlefield you're not really going to notice much now besides wire chatter the headset so gives off a reverb but to give credit it has been improved quite a bit with these rubber mounts up top with the original revolver it gives off this metal vibration reverb when you accidentally touch the headset with these new rubber mounts on the S model you get less of that tinny metal result it is there but honestly I don't think it's a deal-breaker at all once you're in the game I'll be honest with you guys it's not noticeable every time now next up is the microphone it is detachable which is nice and standard like most headsets there's fair amounts of adjustability and even with accidental tugs that I've tested it stays put now general movements with the wire rubbing against her shirt will not cause wire chatter through transmit to the microphone which is a good thing but on the other hand if you're manually moving the wires with your hands a very faint rustling noise will be picked up as for my voice you could hear yourself I'll give this one a thumbs up I don't sound as nasally with some of the headsets do but for the most part my voice sounds quite natural when compared to the competition now as mentioned earlier HyperX is claimed to offer an advanced noise cancelling microphone and with my testing it's a rising Lee blacks out background voices very well I had Adam in the background speaking in a natural voice and then microphone barely had him audible this ideal if you're gaming around friends get me competitively give me when you have family members in your background that won't respect your domain on the other hand typing keys or simple clinking or crinkling of paper that noise is reduced a good bit but it is still picked up overall a very good performance last years the digital sound processor is built right in and thankfully offers a very slim profile this is possibly the biggest reason maybe the sole reason why you'd spend the extra money and buy this particular model standard game and mic volume scroll wheels or on the side there's a nice large mute button in the middle on the left side are preset equalizer settings that toggles from enhanced vocals to flat EQ to bass boost lit up for your convenience now this works on PC but sadly nothing happens when a head is connected to my Playstation 4 now dead smack in the middle is the Dolby surround sound button and once pressed that digital processor inside offers simulated 7.1 surround sound and during my time in gaming switching back and forth between both my god is it's effective I'm highly impressed spatial awareness is distinct you can easily identify if someone's behind you in front of you and who's off in the distance playing overwatch it gives off lovely audio cues when he announcer speaks the amount of detail recognized now versus what the original model offered is night and day where I found it the most impressive is battlefield one and once DSP is on each bullet shot is just visceral with higher pitches in its frequency the environment you standing becomes more Airy in experience creating that surround sound experience immediately in-game explosions are much more pronounced yet not distorted nor muddy and again that spatial sound awareness I want to emphasize that the sound gives off such a huge competitive advantage over all I'm highly impressed it is a very immersive experience and you get quality sound characteristics all around so the wrap this up here this of course works best for the PC the DSP works for PlayStation 4 as well but you only get a slight hissing noise when you turn on the surround sound feature but the sound in general does improve over the factory or stock settings for Xbox one there's no DSP connection all you have to connect this through the 3.5 millimeter cord that's supplied so you do lose these 7.1 Dolby surround sound feature so overall the sound aspect it is simply hands-down great I think it's one of the best for competitive play though but if I had to critique I do wish the headsets were even lighter and for the reverberations I wish they were reduced even further but overall I think the headset is perfect for the average consumer to a competitive player so that's it for this review
