Kingston's first run at gaming audio is a genuinely a great start. A few improvements here in there will turn the HyperX Cloud from pretty good to really good.

For today's review we will be looking at the latest pro gaming headset from Kingston. You may be thinking, "wait a minute, Kingston makes memory and storage products – what is this gaming headset talk
Affordable; Comfortable; Padded headset and ear cups; Plenty of cable length and extensions; Lots of additional connectors; Includes a carry satchel
Main cable not removable; No built in surround sound for gaming
There are two key factors when thinking about any set of headphones on the market: comfort and sound quality. For me, comfort trumps sound almost every time. It doesn't matter if you are getting the world's greatest sound out of a brand new set if they feel like you are putting needles into your...
For instance, the amazing sound cancellation that these headphones have. I can't even hear my keys as I type this. My friend who has the same headset couldn't hear his fiance from 6 feet away. The sound quality is amazing. The microphone has no background noise issues.
There are a lot of gaming headsets that you can buy for $100, but we can only think of a few candidates that can truly match the Kingston HyperX Cloud on performance and overall design.
Utilitarian design; Aluminum build; Soft padding; Interchangeable ear pads; Durable braided cables; Useful bundled accessories; Large 53mm drivers; Outstanding audio quality for its price; Affordable for what it has to offer
Rubber cap on line-out port can easily get lost; Detachable microphone could be better
Almost an exact mirror image of the the HyperX Cloud II, this older brother just loses out in comfort and sound quality. However, this proves that Kingston has what it takes to listen and improve their range.
The feel; Comfort in the long-run; Easy to clean
Size issues; The microphone; The ear cups; PRICING; United States; HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset retails for $67.49 at Amazon; Canada; HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset retails for CDN$79.00 at Amazon Canada
They are re-branded Takstar Pro's with a mic attachment. Very good pair of headphones for the price, readily available and frequently on sale even here in Canada.
Good Value; Comfortable; Great Bass; Good Cables; Many attachments; Good Build Quality
Mids feel weak at low volume
I wear my headset nearly all day and it never hurts. The sounds quality is great but not 7.1 still fantastic. I recommend this for any gamer.
Great headset! I can now hear all of the aural nuances built into the newest Xbox games that even a 7.1 home theater doesn't offer. Highly recommend!
The headset's drivers are extremely efficient and capable of volume levels they should satisfy almost any user. Kingston rates the maximum output at 105dB. I have no doubt that they are capable of meeting or perhaps exceeding that specification.
