**The HyperX Cloud Revolver Gaming Headset Review**

Now what's really cool are the angled drivers inside that help to channel the audio something that Saniser has been doing for ages unfortunately no Valour pads included like we saw on their previous Cloud headsets uh for accessories we only have a 2 m splitter cable with a volume uh control and a mic mute little dongle that has also a shirt clip it's quite far from the main headset so I'm not a fan of this uh implementation the braided cable is quite thick which is awesome so The Kinks don't form as easily as on thin braided cables uh but any contact with the cable can be heard inside the ear cup which is inevitable when you move your head. The microphone is so important on a gaming headset otherwise we'll be all be playing with our favorite pair of headphones and an external microphone.

The revolver delivers in this regard it's very clean it's not too nasy it picks up uh quite nice voice it's a little bit boomy it does compress the background just a little bit but still it's picking up quite a lot of things so especially if you be typing on the keyboard it will be picked up it will be a little bit muted but uh overall I think it's one of the better microphones in this price range especially when you compare it to something more expensive. So what you're hearing now is the Sennheiser game one it's over $200 for this headset but uh microphone quality compared to the revolver is almost identical and now let's test it to the modmic 4.0 and so this is the modmic 4.0 it's a little bit more open compared to the revolver but still very impressed by the vocal quality of the revolver microphone especially compared to something more expensive or to this external solution.

My preferred sound signature for games includes a wide Sound Stage so that I feel like I'm in a you know large audio space a brighter extension because I love my treble and I want to hear the little details I don't want to miss the little details like very important footsteps uh somebody going touching against the wall. The sound engines are picking up on that and giving us all the little cues for directional assistance and I also love a flat based response because most of the time the base um is Muddy and so it kind of ruins the balance and fortunately the revolver in my book has a really good sound signature for a gaming headset so it does have a brighter extension so details in the audio are not flat and don't get lost when a lot of things going on but instead are you know very well separated. The base is a little bit too boomy which I don't mind uh but still gives you that sense of power when things need to be felt you know when you're firing a 50 caliber machine gun in Squad which has one of the best weapon sounds ever and then when smashing through a wall with a hammer in Rainbow Six Siege while a breach charge goes off next to you it feels amazing or just simply blowing up in Battlefield 4 that also feels very well nothing is falling apart with the revolver got to away clear their RPGs and so the sound signature is fun exactly how a gaming headset should sound in my opinion.

The base can be corrected for you know that extra boominess uh extension um the headset does leak a little bit audio if you're blasting music but they isolate very well one of the surprising elements for a closed back design is it's a semiopen Sound Stage it's not too wide but you know it's fine you can definitely hear how far things are coming from and the stereo Imaging with the revolver is really good uh gives you directional cues on what's happening around you I've actually been accused of wall hacking several times while wearing the headset since I was listening to my environment and anticipating where the enemy would come from and so the revolver plays nice for competitive. The biggest weakness here lies in the frame and just how much noise it absorbs plus the nature of the self-adjusting headband may be a little bit too loose uh for a snug fit but it's definitely worth of the headset category thanks to a much improved microphone over the original clouds and also nicely tuned drivers for gaming.

But is it worth the premium price I would say no the only Advantage here would be the better microphone and a slightly larger frame in general to accommodate for bigger heads better but I feel the hyperx clouds and the clouds 2 offer better value simply because of the additional accessories and the frame on this headset is just so annoying and how much sound it translates into the ear cups not just from the frame itself but also from the cable something that wasn't totally of an issue on the original headset. My recommendation uh still lies with the original hyperx clouds I'm Demetri with harx

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everyone I'm Dimitri with har n and the original hyperx cloud from Kingston really set the Benchmark for a well sounding and a well-priced gaming headset let's see if the addition of the hyperx cloud revolver is a good one at $120 or it will remain in the cloud heaven tashiba now offering ocz products that are awesome and affordable like the rd400 tr150 and VT 180 that are backed by Advanced warranty program now stronger than ever under tashiba so the revolver looks like a gaming headset more so than the earlier models there's more plastic on the ear cups the microphone is larger looks like a boom mic but the headband and the padding on the ear cups look very familiar this self- adjusting headband is a safe Choice with the new metal frame that is well designed for comfort with perfect clamping Force plus it's thin enough to not add much weight uh but the support beam inside the padding itself is plastic it doesn't really feel like it would take a fall I would take care of this headset now the good thing is it does not crack it's pretty flexible but the metal frame absorbs any sound that touches it uh which can be easily heard inside the ear cups it's not really an issue if you're still but quite annoying if you're putting the headset on handling the microphone or even moving your head so unfortunately I've never been this displeased with an otherwise comfortable frame that has such an annoying element the large ear cups help to cover the entire ear and you'll need to vent your ears occasionally given the closed nature now what's
