Kingston HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset Black
Cons:No way of attaching the cord to me (clip of some sort)

Pros:Most comfortable headset I've ever worn. The audio quality is fantastic.
Comment:
This headset really exceeded my expectations in both audio quality and comfort. The interchangeable ear cushions are a super idea. The velvet ones are warm for winter wear, and the leather ones should be great for summer.

Straight out of the box all I can say is WOW!!! These headphones seem to be very high quality! I am a picky person when it comes to quality and these have me amazed at what you get for the price. I will definitely try and write a review after a month or 2 of use.

Kingston HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset Black
Cons:Stereo sounds. Bass distorts at higher volumes.

Pros:Lightweight and holds firmly on head. Good assortment of accessories (esp. carrybag)
Comment:
Good enough for gaming and listening to music/films/media. Not for audiophiles.Good product. Satisfied with purchase.Recommend for games where 5.1/7.1 isn't necessary.Good for music/films/media, but don't expect spectacular sound.

Kingston HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset Black
Cons:-They can be a touch uncomfortable, but you just have to find the right positioning for your own needs.-Audio control on the cord rather than on the headset-connection markings on the phone attachemnt are a bit hard to see.

Pros:-Great bass response-Quality build-Comfortable-Kit
Comment:
J at the NCIX home theater store showed me these as an option to some Senheisers that I was looking at, and I am VERY glad he did. For $80, I got an out of the box major improvement over the other headset (Senheisers) that I bought recently from NCIX.The first thing I notcied was the increased Bass response, and the over all better sound quality from this 'cheaper' headset. Wow! The other headset required a usb adapter for the 3D audio experience, that in comparison to these is nothing more than a gimmick. The Kingston set are that much better at ALL types of audio.From the Aluminum cups to the braided cable, nothing about these is 'plasticky', or shoddy in any way. The noise cancellation of these cans over the Senheiser Game series ones is profound. The removable mic is as yet the only thing I haven't tried out yet, but I have no worries about that based on the quality of the rest of this kit.These cans are easy to setup too tight in your head, so some discomfort is possible. Start with the band expanded all the way, and work each side in, one notch at a time. The swapable cup covers mean that you'll be able to avoid the long session sweats, or summer discomfort. The cup cup covers are also quality constructed, and again I am VERY impressed.The kit that comes with these cans is exceptional, from the removable mic, to the carry bag, right down to extra cables and an airplane adapter, it is all there. My only quibbles are that 1)The volume controll is on a cable, not on the headset itself. In the kit there is a cable for using with a phone device. This cable has a largish box on it with buttons for mute, answer, and is also the music controler. It also houses the only volume control. If you loose the cable or forget it, you are SOL and have to rely on the OS of what ever device you are using. 2)The markings on the phone attachment for hooking the headset cables are so small and so dark that I had a hard time figuring them out at a glance. Granted that you could do trial and error, but having to use your phones flash light app to see the markings to tell which is which is a bit much. Theese are really good kit, and if you can get them on sale at around $80.00 then you are really getting a deal. Having said that, knowing now about the quality of these, I'd choose them over my previous purchase for build quality, even at full price.5/5 for sure/

Kingston HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset Black
Cons:After couple of hours of gaming the headset start to be a bit uncomfortable

Pros:Sounds is really good
Comment:
Review after 1 month: I bought this headset because of all the good reviews.However, I'm the type of person to keep the headset for hours and after a bit it does get uncomfortable, so I would suggest you to get another headset if think you are buying it for comfort.Rest of the headset quality and sound is really good though.

Kingston HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset Black
Cons:I can imagine that it wouldn't fit larger heads very nicely. My head is of a "medium" size, and I find the headset comfortable at its widest configuration.

Pros:Extremely comfortable; great price considering all that's included; very high build quality; full-sounding.
Comment:
I'm shocked by all that it comes with. I haven't seen a pair of headphones/a headset for less than $200 that includes these accessories, especially the velour earcups.The sound suits the wide variety of games that I tested the headset with, including PC and Xbox One games ([aired witht he Stereo Headset Adapter).

Kingston HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset Black
Cons:Absolutely none.

Pros:-Audiophile level sound quality-Detachable mic with foam noise and pop reducer-Comfiest headset I have ever worn, seriously, like a cloud on my head-2 different sets of ear cushions you can use with diff materials-Cord extension is just the right length to have the audio control sit near your keyboard and have the cable fall over behind your desk and plug into the back of the PC.-Analog cable means this headset will work with anything, no USB needed-53mm drivers gives the sound so much life-Metal frame feels very solid, but at the same time flexible, feels like it should last many, many years of careless use even.-Fairly light-Picked the up for a steal, only $59.99 on sale.
Comment:
Wow, wow, wow. I cannot express how good these headphones are. It's like rediscovering all my music again. I previously had an Afterglow wired headset that had 50mm drivers, and the sound in those is utter trash compared to this headphone. If you've ever wanted audiophile quality headphones, but don't really want to shell out hundreds of dollars, this is the option for you.Don't bother wasting money on headsets that have simulated 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. You can do the EXACT SAME THING with "Razer Surround" software, it's free. All you're doing is paying for a built-in sound card in those headsets, and thus need USB drivers to work the headset, there's nothing special about the speakers in those, it's a waste of money and the trade-off is always worse quality sound in those, and less compatibility with various hardware. Your computer already has a sound card or chip, no need to be paying for another one to plug-in to the chain.Check out the review by TekSyndicate for these, that review is what sold me on these, cause those guys absolutely know their sh*t.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeoyJBwHc3U

Kingston HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset Black
Cons:- None so far with my experience, especially at this price

Pros:- Excellent value- Flexible- Durable, excellent build quality- Comfortable- Many accessories
Comment:
This headset gets 5 stars for the value alone. It comes with many accessories, all of which are very modular and make using the headset very customizable. I use the fabric ear cups which are very comfortable and makes the headset wearable for an entire day without any issue or stress on the head, even with glasses.The cups have metal attachments to the headband, and appear to be very flexible and sturdy.The removable microphone makes this headset wearable outside of the gaming environment.I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT440s and I find that the sound of the HyperX Cloud to be noticeably inferior to the DT440s. At this price point, I think it is expected.Overall, for gaming, this is an excellent headset and I would recommend it as my top choice. For anybody who is looking for top-of-the-line sound quality, you will not find it with the HyperX Cloud, but you will find above-average sound quality and ridiculous value for the price you pay for these.

Kingston HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset Black
Cons:-adjustable headband settings can be a bit tighter

Pros:-extremely high value product-amazing sound quality for its price-comfortable for extended periods of use, lightweight-removable mic-included travel bag
Comment:
I have been using SteelSeries headsets for the past few years, and have been content with them. When their mics broke, I went looking for a new headset and came across this. I have to say, this product blown me away from right from the start with its packaging. Everything feels high quality and polished. I cannot recommend this product enough.

Kingston HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset Black
Cons:none so far

Pros:real solid, confortable, high quality leather
Comment:
Wow, these are the cheapest headset for that kind of quality so far. Kingston work quite hard to provide people with a lot of features so that you can customize the headset like you want :- You can remove the microphone- You can change the leather cups with cloth ones- You can ajust the length of the cable and the volume only if you want to implement that feature.- They give you a transport bag- You can use it to make phone calls because they give you all sorts of adapters to plug into your cellphone

Kingston HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset Black
Cons:None so far.

Pros:Comfort, sound, packaging, accessories and price.
Comment:
I picked this up on sale for $75 and so far I am very pleased with it. I'm no pro when it comes to audio equipment but they do feel and sound good. I currently have them hooked up to my on-board audio (GA Z87X D3H) and my understanding is that they could perform better with a dedicated sound card with a headphone amp due to their high impedance. I will be testing this out shortly. Enjoy!

Cons:None

Pros:Comfort, sound quality.
Comment:
Cheaper than any Astro. Comfier than any Tritton. Better mic than any Sibera. Better sound quality than any Turtle Beach. This is by far the best headset ive tried. Compatible with all consoles and interchangable ear pads for under $100? Cannot be beat. I highly recommend this headset and im pretty sure you cannot find one negative review of it on the internet.
