HyperX Cloud Blue

Great sound, mic, and build quality.
I got these after returning a different brand that had poor sound quality. Right out of the box these look like they are built good. Like most headphones they are adjustable for size. Since I have a fairly large melon, I adjusted them to the maximum size. They are just the tiniest but tight on my noggin, but not uncomfortable. I bought these for my PS4 but since I had just opened them and wanted to try them right away I plugged them into my phone. I fired up Spotify and skipped through the first couple of suggested songs until I landed on Willie Nelson’s On The Road Again. I am not a country fan by any means but I stopped on it because of how it started out with just a simple guitar and drums. As I listened, I felt like I was transported into that studio as the song was being recorded. So crisp and clear.Now for the sound quality on the PS4. I have to admit that I do not plug these directly into the controller, but into and adaptor that comes with the Sony Silver headphones. I have had at least 3 sets of the silver headphones as they keep breaking. That is why I went with the HyperX this time. Volume on these are more than sufficient. Chat mixed in with game audio is very clear. The HyperX comes with a noise canceling mic which is great. My wife and I play together but in separate rooms. I sit in a leather recliner and after a left cheek sneak I asked her if she heard that. She did not know what I was asking about, so it passed the background noise test!I’ve only had these a week but am extremely happy with them. If anything changes I will update my review.

Amazing quality, mic kinda screwy
Update: I purchased this on 06.08.19, roughly a year ago and these things were phenomenal to use. The sound is great, especially the base and the surround sound. The noise-cancelling feature of this headset is amazing (has actually got me in trouble with my parents because I’d yell too loud). Comfortability is there. I wear glasses so usually headsets would squeeze against my ears but this one held up great. The mic is clear as well. I’m giving it 4 stars because recently the mic has deteriorated(?). My friends would tell me I would sound very distant even though the the mic would be right up against my lips. There’s also a bit of an echo coming from my friends whenever I save a clip of games with their voices in it. Perhaps this has happened to others too, but I haven’t found an answer on how to fix it. All in all, great headset. Definitely worth the buy if you have the extra money!

Very happy
Exactly what I want. Same as the picture. Works great

Very Sturdy and Well Made Headset!
Really good headset.Pros – Works with everything. Can detach mic. Volume and mute fuctions on cord. Long enough cord to not have any length problems. Very sturdy, had another headet of this kind the cable eventually wears out but it takes about 2 years. Stylish headset.Cons – When playing online people can hear themselves through the headset, only happens when people talk though. The bass could be a little better.Overview – All around good headset. I recomend this over most other headsets at this value!

Antes tenía los Stinger y realmente no noto mucha diferencia en la calidad del sonido; ambos son buenos. Personalmente siento que este modelo me aprieta un poco la cabeza, en la parte de la mandíbula, pero espero que con el tiempo me acostumbre o se aflojen. Compré el diseño de Playstation pero obviamente funciona en cualquier dispositivo, actualmente lo uso en Xbox Series. Yo no he tenido problemas con eco en los chats de voz, si usan Xbox revisen la configuración de audio y reduzcan el parámetro “monitoreo de micrófono”, eso ayuda con cualquier micrófono para reducir el ruido.Están bastante bien los audífonos pero personalmente sigo prefiriendo los Stinger, son más cómodos y baratos.

This is by far the most comfortable pair of headphones I have ever used. It’s a shame that the cable is non detachable so in the event it goes bad, you have to send it to a store to resolder the loose connection instead of simply buying a new cable. Speaking of the cable, I personally dislike the thick braided cable as it is heavy and keeps getting in the way and knocking my left hand (plus its textured and abrasive so it causes slight discomfort) when I am using a controller for games. The volume rocker on the cable is placed on an inconvenient spot and it tends to keep knocking on my arms and my table which is a nuisance.These seems to be made as cheaply as possible as on the set that I received, there is a defect on my ride headband adjuster. It’s WAY looser than the one on the left which causes me to constantly readjust the height because during gameplay it will frequently fall down a notch or two since it’s so loose which is EXTREMELY annoying!With regards to the sound, I did a ton of research before deciding on which pair of headphones to buy. From what I understood, it is essential a Cloud II headset without the surround sound usb dongle. It also has a lower impedance than the Cloud II so in theory you will be able to use these and get a good level of loudness on devices with weaker output such as the dualshock 4. Written reviews and discussion threads seem to suggest that it had strong bass. However, I found this not to be the case as I thought the sound signature was very flat and balanced. Bass is present but not strong. The sound is great overall for this price and it performs admirably when playing games, but when used for music, vocals sound artificial and hollow.Overall, it’s a great pair of headphones with amazing comfort and sound at a fair price point. However, I have to deduct a star because of the loose headband slider on the right side.
