THE HYPERX CLOUD

With a weight of just 350g and a aluminum body the CLOUD Pro Gaming Headset is not only very durable but also quite small.

Leaving out the massive earcups (53mm drivers are quite large) the CLOUD is not that much larger compared to the compact REVO Wireless by Jabra.

The HyperX logo is placed on the exterior of the earcups which is also aluminum.

Although Kingston never hid the fact that the CLOUD was designed and manufactured with our old friends from QPAD i never expected to see their logo on the microphone port cover.

The detachable boom microphone is quite long (150mm) and flexible as you can see from the above pictures (although I’d like a retractable one more).

Since the CLOUD has very large drivers we did expect large earcups as well but these are even larger. Both cups feature memory foam cushions covered with leatherette.

If you feel that the leatherette cups are too hard for your ear you can use the very soft velour ones.

The left and right indication is placed right over both earcups but it's way too tiny for my taste.

The headpad also features memory foam covered with leatherette.

You can extend the headband of the CLOUD a total of 35mm on each side via 7 visible increments (on the interior).

The HyperX logo is stitched on the exterior of the headband and i have to say that it looks great.

Every single 3.5mm plug found in the package (including the ones of the CLOUD) are gold plated.

If you want to have control over the audio and microphone of the headset you can connect it to the in-line controller extension cable.
