Today we have the
HyperX Cloud Revolver Pro Gaming Headset to take a look at. For those that don’t know; HyperX is a division of
Kingston which is geared towards gaming and high performance products. They started back in 2002 with a high performance DDR1 module, and man how things have changed. While they still make some killer memory, they also have SSDs, flash drives, headsets, mouse pads, and a keyboard.
Features and Specifications:
The HyperX Cloud Revolver is a high end stereo headset that can be used with just about any device thanks to its use of the 3.5mm audio jack... sorry iPhone 7 users. The closed, over the ear design with 50mm drivers creates a studio-grade sound stage, which allows you to better locate an opponent if you're playing a FPS game. And if you are listening to music it allows you to hear things you didn't before. The German designed durable steel frame creates a stable base for the large drivers and premium leatherette wrapped memory foam ear cups. It also comes with a detachable noise-cancellation microphone which is certified by TeamSpeak. For use with PCs they include a 2 meter long audio control box that has stereo and microphone 3.5mm connectors, and the box itself has a volume control and a mute switch. Below is a list of features and specifications from the HyperX literature.
