Kingston's track record of gaming headsets are short-lived and pretty much immaculate in my opinion. Earlier this year instead of another Cloud X, they decided to switch things up a bit w/ a newer one. Now we're rolling w/ the HyperX Cloud Revolver which...
What can I say about this? I really had zero qualms about the Cloud Revolvers. Big, beautiful sound. Adaptable to work for any console & smartphones. Super comfortable for all-day wearing. All of this for only $120 so it won't hurt your pockets as m...

Today, we get to take a look at the Kingston HyperX Cloud Revolver Headset. Not only is it visually stunning, but it boasts some serious studio quality promises. With all of the compatibility this headset has to offer across different platforms, you'll li...
Starting with the negatives about this headset, they are not about the sound quality at all. The first is the cord. This isn't really a negative other than I would need to remove it to walk more than 10 feet from my PC. Wireless is great for chatting or s...

It's funny how expectations work. When the HyperX Cloud launched two years ago, it came out of nowhere . I went in expecting a bottom-barrel headset from Kingston, and instead got a solid low-priced contender that we continue recommending to this very day...

Metal band has a tendency to reverberate when touched, Inline controls are as middling as the standard Cloud line...
The biggest problem with the HyperX Cloud line is that it hit such a high point the first time around. Great performance, cheap price—it's hard to top that. The HyperX Cloud Revolver isn't a bad headset—it's more comfortable than the original Hyper...

I'm not a huge connoisseur of gaming headsets, having my Turtle Beach X12s for the past few years. Even then I use them with my PC more than I do with my Xbox 360. I've never bought a new headset as the X12s work for what I need them to do. However, I rec...

For many gamers, such as myself, there is a few requirements we demand from a headest. It has to be durable, look good, and certainly sound good. Most headsets are able to check off one or perhaps two of these requirements; but it is surprising how few ch...

The stitching and embossing on the headband looked great. I also liked the sculptured ear cup with HyperX logos and red highlights. The around ear closed cup design offers good isolation from ambient room sounds. The headband's range of adjustment does no...

For many gamers, a good headset is sturdy, comfortable, and not too flashy, and the popularity of HyperX's Cloud and Cloud II headsets attests to how well the company has hit that mark. I've spent a bit of time with the Cloud II in the past, and I can att...
When a company tries to improve on an already-successful product, it runs the risk of unbalancing the formula that led to that product's success in the first place. The HyperX Cloud Revolver's design departs from the already-popular Cloud II in a variety...
