HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset for PC, Xbox One¹, PS4, PS4 PRO, Xbox One S¹, Nnintedo Switch (KHX-H3CL/WR) - Black

Had my eye on this product for a while and I bought it when there was a brief drop in price. I was not in need of a new gaming headset, rather I bought it because I have an acquaintance who said nothing but positive things about them. For context, my previous headset was a Turtlebeach Z11. A decent headset, but I know it is far from the best. PROS: Great build quality. I wasn't afraid that these would break after a few drops. The materials provide a nice tight feel to them. Sound quality: I do not consider myself an audiophile, but I'd say that the average consumer would be able to enjoy the sound quality. The only thing I would say is that perhaps the bass is a little weak, so unless you REALLY enjoy dubstep you should be fine. Mic: The mic is great IF your settings are alright. I even prefer these to the Cloud 2's mic. Though this was only after hearing them on Youtube videos. I have no idea how they would sound through direct input. Depending on your hardware the sound quality might vary dramatically so I can't guarantee anything. I'd say the quality is impressive and definitely beats it's competitors such as Razer, TurtleBeach, etc but would most likely fall against professional hardware like Blue Yeti and such. Last note, the mic is detachable which is great if you're thinking of wearing these without looking like a total gamer. Cons: Heat: The headphones come with the leather pads as the default ear pad material. While leather is extremely comfortable and noise-cancelling, it can get pretty hot after a period of time. During the summer I found my ears got too hot often and I had to remove them for a brief period. There are velvet pads as an alternative if you want to replace them. To be honest, this is nit-picky but it is something I've observed. Volume box jacks: There are multiple parts to this headphone. One of them is a volume controller that kind of acts as an extender allowing a mic and playback input from the headphone and outputting the same two inputs into the computer. My earbuds are not long enough to reach the computer so I occasionally use this extender when I don't feel like wearing the headphone such as when I don't want headset hear. However, it is quite a tight squeeze to fit them into the jack. I'm not sure if this is true for all earbuds, but it is definitely a concern of mine. Conclusion: If you're looking for a medium priced gaming headset then I would definitely recommend these. It is true that there are cheaper alternatives, but if you just want a complete set then the HyperX is definitely the way to go.

First of all, I would like to start off by saying that this is by far the most comfortable headset I have ever used. I have used many headsets through the years and typically wear them for up to 6 hours at a time in my lengthy evening gaming sessions, and this headset has never once become uncomfortable after extended use. In terms of pure comfort, this headset is the best headset I've ever owned. Next up, sound quality. I have never been one to spend a lot of money on headsets ($60 being the most until I purchased this one), so good sound quality is something that I have never truly become accustomed to, so just keep that in mind. Saying that, the HyperX Cloud has the best sound quality I have ever heard in any pair of headphones or earbuds. I have been playing games for many years, some of which that greatly rely on crisp audio cues, and during my first session of using this headset I noticed certain sounds I had never even heard before in the game, and had sounds I had already heard before greatly amplified with a clear massive improvement in sound quality. Once again, the HyperX Cloud has the best sound quality I have ever heard in a headset. Lastly, the microphone. Let me start by saying that I am a social gamer for the most part, and spend a lot of time on Discord talking to friends, so having a crisp, high-quality microphone is certainly ideal for me. As a result, I have a great high-quality condenser microphone next to my desk on a stand that I use for all of my speaking. So, mic quality was not something I was looking for when I set out to buy a new headset. Naturally, I tried out the mic on the HyperX Cloud, though, and I immediately received a lot of negative feedback from my friends, saying that the quality sounded very low and that my previous headset microphones that I used years ago provided a better sound. However, I used a recording software to playback the audio from the mic, and the quality of it is still better than headsets I have used in the past, and I certainly do not think it is bad by any means, but it just pales in comparison to the high-quality microphone I typically use. In conclusion, the HyperX Cloud is extremely comfortable, has great sound quality, and a mediocre, at best, microphone. If you're a streamer or YouTuber looking for a headset with a good microphone, maybe look elsewhere, however, if you don't care about mic quality as much, or have an external microphone like I do, this is definitely a great headset for casual and competitive gamers, alike. I give this 5 stars easily, and I wish I could give it more. This is truly the best headset I have ever owned, and I definitely plan to go with HyperX again in the future when it comes time to purchase a new one in the coming years.

Après avoir lu les nombreux commentaires clients, test et autres, je me suis dirigé vers ce casque pour profiter d'une bonne expérience de jeu. Au déballage, on voit que Kingston a soigné la présentation de son casque : on trouve une jolie boite noire avec le logo HyperX, dans laquelle se trouve le matériel. Le dit matériel est bien protégé dans sa mousse. Au premier contact avec le casque, on ne peut qu'apprécier le niveau de finition et le look, bien que sobre, largement efficace. Le sac fournit est un petit plus agréable, et Kingston nous met à disposition des coussinets de rechange en velours, même si on préférera ceux en cuir pour leurs meilleures performances.On apprécie également les câbles tressés, ainsi que le nombre impressionnant de rallonges, adaptateurs en tout genre qui rendent ce casque compatible sur tous les supports. Le micro est également bien fini et fonctionne à merveille. Au niveau confort, récompenses à l'appui, le casque est très confortable, et ce pour de longues heures. Passons maintenant au plus important, le son : tout d'abord l'isolation acoustique, qui est bonne, dans un environnement peu bruyant (vous ne jouerez surement pas en plein milieu d'une rue au centre-ville, donc pas de problème à ce niveau là). Le son en lui même, dès la première écoute, nécessite des réglages : après plusieurs minutes de régales avec foobar2000, l'écoute musicale est tout simplement excellente pour un casque gamer ! Basses profondes, aigus présents sans être agressifs et médiums biens réglés (à vous de bien manipuler l'égaliseur). Quand aux réglages via la carte son pour l'écoute en jeu, un réglage quasi-similaire de l'égaliseur permet une écoute de qualité : sur Arma 3 les balles sifflent et claquent comme si vous étiez, et les explosions font sortir de ses gongs le registre grave. A noter que la séparation des canaux stéréo est très bonne. Pour finir, peut être la meilleure chose à dire sur ce casque et qui vient ajouter un argument de plus pour l'acheter : son prix imbattable. Un rapport qualité prix qui défie toute concurrence, et qui fait que ce casque peut faire face à d'autres casques haut de gamme. L'HyperX Cloud est un produit qui n'as plus à faire ses preuves, et si vous voulez un casque gamer de qualité à faible prix, c'est celui qu'il vous faut.

Compré estos auriculares en diciembre del 2017 y no me han fallado en lo absoluto después de 7 meses. Son extremadamente cómodos y vienen con cables extras y una bolsita para guardar los cables y los audífonos. La calidad de audio es excelente y tiene algo de aislamiento de ruido, cuando me los pongo no escucho casi nada los ruidos externos. El micrófono es muy bueno, flexible y me gusta que puedes quitarlo y usar los audífonos sin el mic. Los compré en descuento, me costaron menos de 1200 cuando los compré. Se los recomiendo a cualquiera que busque audífonos de buena calidad y un precio accesible.

Zur edlen Verpackung gibt es genug Bewertungen - top! Aber es ist eben nur die Verpackung und insofern zweitrangig. Das Headset selbst besticht durch seine solide Verarbeitung. Da es aus Metall gefertigt ist, fällt das Gewicht naturgemäß höher aus als bei den billigen Plastik-Headsets - doch dafür kann man sicher sein, dass auch bei häufigem Gebrauch nichts bricht. Das Headset ist trotz seines Gewichts sehr angenehm zu tragen, da die Polsterung sowohl am Kopfbügel als auch an den Ohren von guter Qualität und in ausreichendem Umfang ist. Auch nach langem Tragen (einige Stunden) fühle ich mich damit / darunter wohl, kein übermäßiger Druck etc. Etwas warm wird es natürlich durch die geschlossene Bauweise, doch es hält sich wirklich in Grenzen. Ich habe einen mittelgroßen Kopf und da passt das Headset perfekt. Es lässt sich leicht einstellen auf die benötigte Größe. Einer der Kommentatoren meinte, die Einstellung würde leicht verrutschen. Das mag schon sein, da man nicht viel Kraft dafür aufwenden muss. Auf dem Kopf verrutscht jedoch nichts; insofern denke ich, diese Tatsache stellt keinen Mangel dar - im Gegenteil - eher einen Komfort. In puncto Sound bin ich kein Experte. Dazu gibt es genug qualifizierte Kommentare. Ich als Laie finde den Klang sowohl am PC als auch an der Musikanlage oder am Handy sehr angenehm, nicht übersteuert, ausgewogen insgesamt. Da macht auch mal klassische Musik keine schlechte Figur. Zum Spielen nutze ich das Headset nicht, oft jedoch für die Spracherkennung am PC. Die geschlossene Bauweise dämpft Umgebungsgeräusche auf ein angenehmes Maß herunter, ohne mich völlig abzuschotten (Telefon mit halblautem Klingelton gerade noch hörbar). Das Mikrofon ist von sehr guter Qualität, empfindlich genug, dass ich leise diktieren kann, dank der Flexibilität genau richtig einzustellen. Seitdem ich dieses Headset benutze, hat sich die Erkennungsgenauigkeit von Dragon nochmal deutlich erhöht. Auch bei Skype etc. bestätigten mir die Gesprächspartner einen angenehmen und klaren Klang. Als überempfindlich, wie es einige Kommentatoren meinten, würde ich das Mikrofon jedoch nicht bezeichnen (vielleicht haben es die Betreffenden einfach nicht in korrektem Abstand vom Mund positioniert oder ungünstige Einstellungen am PC)? Die Verarbeitung ist hervorragend. Das fest verbaute Kabel hat einen anständigen Knickschutz und ist solide ummantelt, so dass Kabelbrüche nicht so schnell vorkommen sollten. Es wäre nur schön gewesen, wenn der ebenfalls Belastungen ausgesetzte Y-Adapter auch so ummantelt gewesen wäre. Sehr positiv finde ich, dass die Steuereinheit für Lautstärke / Mute am Verlängerungskabel angebracht ist, so dass es möglich ist, das Headset auch ohne diese mögliche Störungsquelle zu betreiben. Der Lieferumfang lässt keine Wünsche offen! Da wurde an fast jede Einsatzmöglichkeit gedacht. Definitiv wird mich dieses Headset (ohne Mikro) auf der nächsten Flugreise begleiten, da es sicher auch dazu beiträgt, die Geräusche anderer (redseliger, schnarchender oder [Kinder] lebhafter) Fluggäste etwas weniger wahrzunehmen ;-)

Il prodotto vale pienamente 5 stelle, anzi per il rapporto qualità/prezzo è veramente un'affare, se paragonato ad altri prodotti della concorrenza di pari fascia. PRO Arrivato nei tempi di consegna previsti (Amazon in questo è una garanzia); fin dalla confezione si capisce che è un prodotto di qualità : le cuffie solo ben assicurate in una protezione di polisterolo di ottima fattura, che le protegge dai vari urti durante la spedizione. Ad un primo impatto le cuffie sembrano robuste e di ottima fattura; con gli archetti e il rivestimento dei padiglioni in metallo, il tutto rivestito da simil pelle molto morbida, con dentro un tessuto "memory foam" e cavo in tessuto. Passando alle prestazioni, devo dire che sono veramente ottime su alti e medi, un pò più dolenti sui bassi: usate per circa 30 ore con vari videogiochi, sia con fps frenetici, con rilassanti platform che con qualche horror, posso dire che i suoni sono ben definiti e limpidi, anche con i volume sparato al massimo non grattano per niente. Rendono l'esperienza di gioco veramente immersiva, isolandoti completamente dai suoni esterni e grazie al 5.1 simulato si percepisce esattamente la provenienza di ogni rumore. Se indossate per molte ore di fila non danno fastidio, non sono pesanti (si penserebbe al contrario visto il metallo) e sopratutto, cosa molto importante per me, non danno fastidio se insieme alle cuffie si indossano occhiali. Il microfono (rimovibile) è ottimo, non adatto a registrazioni di qualità, ma sicuramente superiore alla media; ha un anti-pop eccezionale, ed un sistema che se, mentre siete in chat, entra nel vostro ambiente qualcuno che urla o che parla ad alta voce, riduce il più possibile l'interferenza, concentrandosi sulla vostra voce. CONTRO Passando ai contro, come precedentemente accennato, non hanno i bassi potenti come ci si aspetterebbe da delle cuffie da "gaming", cosa che potrebbe non piacere ai più esigenti (rovescio della medaglia -> sono ottime sia per ascoltare musica che per vedere film), e non hanno un software dedicato (essendo cuffie jack), rendendo impossibile la personalizzazione e la creazioni di profili specifici; però una scheda audio dedicata da poco più di 30 € risolverebbe tutto ciò, nonchè, un boost nelle prestazioni non indifferente. I contro quasi scompariscono alla presenza di un ricco bundle : insieme alle cuffie vengono forniti due padiglioni di ricambio in tessuto (per i periodi più caldi), un adattatore "2 -> 1" che vi permette di utilizzare le cuffie su qualsiasi dispositivo che abbia un entrata jack da 3,5 mm (controller ps4, smartphone, tablet), una prolunga di circa 1,5m con cavo in tessuto, un altro adattatore "1 -> 2", e una sacca in tessuto dove poter riporre le cuffie.

I love hi-fi and headphones etc. For reference I also own a pair of Sennheiser​ HD570's, B&W P5 S2, Bose IE2 in ear and a Steel Series Siberia Gaming headset. I've owned the Clouds for several months now. The others I have owned for many months (Siberia and B&W) or years (HD570 and Bose). For anyone considering if they should get a pair, the comfort is awesome. I wear glasses for long gaming sessions and with the exception of the Bose IE (which as the name suggests are in-ear) the Clouds are by far and away the most comfortable (admittedly the HD570's are super old now and the foam has failed) For comparison I'll only talk about the Steelseries (SS) for sound as they are the only comparable headset for gaming that I own. The SS have lovely sound with solid bass, but the build quality whilst durable, is wanting. Mostly plastic they creak, and they pinch the head. The Clouds straight out of the box please, plenty of space, mid range is excellent and bass pleasing without over powering (I'm looking at you Beats and Bose) For the price the build quality is awesome, the only thing I can really find fault in is that the pads are a little cheap in terms of how they fit. Magnets (like the B&W) would be awesome, and given the build quality of the B&W that is the only thing I can find wrong with the Clouds (disappointingly for a $300 headphone the B&W doesn't give you a braided cable... unlike the Cloud). Everything else speaks quality of the Clouds. They ooze style especially in comparison to the SS which at best can be considered garish (looks are highly subjective). The SS are also really uncomfortable for longer periods, I sweat quickly and they really clamp the head (and I don't have an overly large one). Microphone is really great, it can be detached which is useful. All in all I quickly fell in love with the Cloud 1's and will be seeking out the 2's in order to see how the 7.1 performs. Either way C1 or C2 I doubt you can honestly do much better for the price. So I doff my hat to Kingston. Go and try a pair, I bought mine blind (deaf?) based on the reviews on Amazon and I'm very, very pleased I did.
