HyperX Cloud Mix Review
We don't often see Bluetooth connectivity in gaming headsets. Wired headsets simply use 3.5mm or USB connections, and wireless headsets tend to use adapters. The Kingston HyperX Cloud Mix follows in the footsteps of the Audeze Mobius, with both Bluetooth and wired connectivity, but instead of offering other high-end technical features, it simply provides an excellent listening experience for wired games and wireless music. At $199.99 it's one of the more expensive headsets in the HyperX lineup, but half the cost of the Audeze Mobius. That makes its versatility impressive, and combined with its audio quality, it earns our Editors' Choice.
A Familiar Design
The Cloud Mix looks and feels very similar to the HyperX Cloud Alpha, only in all black and with the option to go wireless. It features smooth, understated, oval black earcups with rubberized sides and prominent HyperX logos on the backs. The logos are light gray, and the Y-shaped metal arms that connect the cups to the headband...
The versatile Kingston HyperX Cloud Mix works very well as both a wired gaming headset and a pair of Bluetooth headphones.
