Reviews on HyperX Cloud
- Advantages: Metal construction. 2 sets of ear pads. Huge potential for rocking a good amp / sound card. Extremely detailed sound. And very positioned, you can perfectly hear where the guitar is playing, where the drums are, where the bass is, if you close your eyes you can imagine the room where and how these instruments are arranged (precisely positioned and not pseudo-volumetric as they like to do right now with the help of software). They sit perfectly on the head, do not press, sit for 10+ hours.
- Disadvantages: The sound is detailed, but sacrifice the richness of the sound, its depth (high frequencies are lifted, and low frequencies are reduced to nothing). If you are a kraken lover, this is definitely not the place for you. The plastic protections on the souls that hold the bowls began to fall off. Already 2 out of 4 have fallen off. I managed to bend the wire near the jack, at the adapter to the extension cord (I was actively rolling on it in my chair), I have already replaced all the rules. With the usual built-in realtek, it sounds very mediocre. 60 ohms after all.
- Disadvantages: This is the most real ideal that can be purchased for your pc. The only thing I had to buy was a sound card (sound blaster z) for them, after which they became simply great in their sound. I had both krakens and siberia, all of them by the time of use for 2 years began to crumble, fall apart and it was scary to look at them. But these clouds are already 2 years old and I am still in them, if you change the ear cushions, they will be like new and they can already be sold). But I don’t want to do that yet. Whether you are considering buying them or not, the answer is obvious. I took them from Germany for 4500r + Sound card 6500r (it has dropped in price right now). offtopic That's because of them now I don't even know what to buy for a phone / laptop, I listened to a lot of wireless ears, from 5k to 15k rubles, and everything does not reach the level of my headphones on a pc … It's a shame.

- Pluses: The sound is amazing! They play cleanly, the bass is soft, the treble is slightly raised, but in cs go you can hear everything in the flesh until the enemy is recharged, which is not so close) On my sound card ASUS Xonar D1 reveal themselves completely) They showed themselves quite well in music! Sound insulation at a decent level! Very comfortable! I sit for 6-7 hours, not a hint of pain! The quality microphone is much better than the Razer Kraken Pro! Rich equipment! An extension cord, a control panel through which you can increase or decrease the volume, turn off the microphone and the button, when pressed, also turns off the micro only for the duration of the press! Phone adapter, interchangeable ear pads, aircraft adapter + a nice case for transporting headphones is included)
- Disadvantages: they simply do not exist
- Disadvantages: Before that, I bought myself a Razer Kraken Pro Black, as I just didn’t set them up, the sound was like a barrel, and there was no question of any high-quality bass. Razer shakes the built-in ZK Realtek or some kind of cheap player, where they start dancing on their heads, but the sound quality, as it was terrible, remains! After another hour or two, they started to press hard on the head and had to take them off! So these headphones are much better than Razer, from materials to sound quality! I had a lot of gaming ears) These made me very happy, I don't even want to shoot, I forgot about the main speakers;)

- Advantages: Sit comfortably on the head, good sound insulation, long wire. Definitely better than the G series (200-500) from Logitech.
- Disadvantages: 60 Ohm !!! It's strange to read reviews about excellent sound from built-in sound or a smartphone in the subway. Without a separate sound card, headphones are indistinguishable from cheap Chinese women for 1000 rubles. Yes, they play, yes, relatively loudly, but the sound quality is none. Smartphone HTC cannot pump ears at normal volume, The sound is flat and with a slight echo. Google pixel C tablet produces hiss already at 70% volume.
- Disadvantages: Average / tolerable quality when working through a separate sound card, weak sound through an embedded device and on devices. The microphone is rather 4 out of 5, it gives the background, the volume holds well. I recommend considering it exclusively as a headset with connection at least through the cheapest sound card. It loses to classical headphones in sound quality, there is definitely no way to listen to music or watch movies in them. Experience of use at the time of writing is 3 weeks.

- Pluses: Sound quality. Quality materials for ear cushions and headband.
- Disadvantages: Flimsy construction and material quality of the movable part mountings. Problematic volume control. By ~ 6 months, it began to loosen and periodically the sound turns out to be weaker from one of the speakers at low volume (it was solved by software volume reduction).
- Disadvantages: Term: a year without three days. Accuracy of operation: the dust particles were not blown away, but the headphones were not exposed to any bends, drops and temperature changes. Result: by 6-8 months, scratches appeared on one of the mounts (as it turned out later, these were microcracks), which was no longer paid attention to. For the upcoming anniversary, on one normal day, when putting on the head, the right mount simply shattered into pieces. On the left side, the same story is observed, which speaks of the quality of the material and the design that is not designed for long-term use – if the metal part was longer, all the stress would come down to a reinforced headband, and not to low-quality plastic.

- Pluses: Very comfortable. And absolutely no weight is felt on the head, although the headset is not the easiest. Really nice quality materials. The package is just like from the past, in the sense that in our post-crisis days (2008+) manufacturers no longer indulge in such luxurious packages.
- Disadvantages: The sound is a little dull when listening to FLAC. But not very critical. Because the intended use of Kingston HyperX Cloud is not music, but games. And this is the best gaming headset of 2015, according to the European Hardware Awards. The best also in terms of music playback among all “gaming headsets”. So to find fault with the fact that the headset does not sound quite like their hi-fi donor Beyerdynamic 770 is not entirely objective. This is worth mentioning, but you should not underestimate the score. If you want a sound close to ideal, then there is only real hi-fi from Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser. And the price is 2-3 times higher.
- Disadvantages: 5 out of 5. Everything is good. At $ 74, it's a killer purchase.

- Pluses: Sound, equipment. 1. Sound – everything is fine here, with the exception of one minus 2. Package contents – a lot of adapters, an extension cord, I was especially pleased with the replaceable ear pads.
- Disadvantages: 1. Excessive high frequencies. Over time, I got used to it, but the first month my ears were cut. 2. Price.
- Disadvantages: Buy great headphones. If at a discount – take two pieces: D

- Advantages: sound, microphone, convenience, equipment
- Disadvantages: none
- Disadvantages: I am the owner of the Senheiser G4me One. HyperX Cloud is cheaper and at the same time does not lose to it. From my point of view, it even wins in the sense that HyperX Cloud headphones have excellent noise isolation, comparable or even better than earbuds. Personally, I compared it with a Philips bluetooth headset with in-ear headphones in the subway – in my opinion, HyperX Cloud eliminates external noise better. The set includes additional embrasures, which, unlike the leather (?) Already attached to the ears, are made of a different material, the same as in the Senheiser G4me One, and I believe that using these embrasures can get rid of noise isolation (Update 18.02 .2017: checked, it is). Depending on what you need – sound insulation or its absence, choose which embrasures to wear. I think this is a huge plus. The sound is excellent, the extended frequency range makes itself felt. Surround sound incomparable with anything. I watched a short film nominated for an Oscar, shot in 360 degrees (360 Google Spotlight Story: Pearl) – when I turn the camera, I can clearly hear where the sound is coming from – from the side, from behind, from afar, close, just unrealistically cool. As for listening to music, as a great music lover and a person listening to music of various genres, I must say that they sound great. At first I thought that with some types of bass it was crap – they didn’t hold up, somehow they sound dull, but then I figured out that the same song at a higher bitrate sounded as expected. They really make you feel the difference in the quality of the track being played, now you have to download everything at least 320 kbps. Convenience – I would say they are even more convenient than the Senheiser G4me One. Both models are very, very well made in this regard, but HyperX manages to raise the bar. They are also good because if you suddenly decide to use them on the street, the microphone is removable, you can leave it at home by plugging a plug in its place. To summarize, I highly recommend these headphones. This is 5.

Arsenev Semen
- Advantages: – excellent sound – sit comfortably – stylish appearance and a removable microphone, you can walk down the street without burning, what with a computer headset – accessories: extension cord, adapters, bag – wires in fabric braid
- Disadvantages: – the price – the microphone plug is small and not attached to the headphones (easy to lose) – the wire connecting the ears is very thin, I don't know how strong it is.
- Disadvantages: upd: either the rubber has dried up, or I don’t know what, but the plug (which I practically did not pull out of the headphones, because I don’t use the microphone), over time, began to hold on to my word of honor
Prozritelev Alexander
- Advantages: – The shape of the cups themselves – The sound is excellent (despite the built-in realtek) – Appearance – Completion – Microphone sensitivity (clarity of voice transmission at a height) – Damn, how COMFORTABLE they are !!! For a big head, this is just a godsend! Flexible headband and very lightweight, SUPER! I sit in them for hours, sometimes I even forget that they are on my head and I get up with them)
- Disadvantages: Unfortunately, there are also disadvantages: – The remote control for the ears is located on a separate extension cord, and not on the main wire that comes from the ears, look at the pictures of the complete set and you will understand what I mean, when you insert the wire into this remote control, the length is too long , as a result, the remote control is not at chest level or at least the abdomen, but at the knee level, so when you sit at the computer you have to lay the wire like a snake on your knees))) – The microphone mute button on the remote is too tight, it may develop over time. – The plug of the hole for the microphone is not attached anywhere, you will lose 100%! I understand that this is not essential, but still …
- Disadvantages: The listed disadvantages are just nuances that may be important to someone! What is the main thing in gaming ears? Sound, convenience and microphone! IN THEM ALL THIS IS !!! MEGA-CONVENIENT – And my head is big! I myself read the reviews for a long time, many write that a separate sound device is needed, perhaps I have Realtek built into my mother, and the mother is already 9 years old! And if they sound like that on the standard sound, then what will be on a separate good card … Do not think that I am writing an enthusiastic review, since I was sitting on cheap ears before them))) Even before the crisis, everyone was gaming on average about 5000 -6000 thousand, and these are the first, from which I am delighted! The bass is great, the ears are balanced, not like the Razer Kraken, where the head was ringing from excessive bass! If you have any questions, write to [email protected], ears are not cheap, so it's better to find out everything about them right away!
