Sounds Good: Kingston HyperX Cloud Revolver Gaming Headset Michael Kwan March 30, 2016 News, Press Release Oh, there’s more to Kingston than just some memory products. The first HyperX Cloud headset was a real surprise and the second-generation version was even better. Now, they’re keeping a good thing going by offering a studio-grade sound stage with the new HyperX Cloud Revolver. This new gaming headset improves upon its predecessors in just about every way, while retaining the features we know and love. That great memory foam is back and the leatherette headband is there too, but now there are larger ear cups, exhaust vents, and a steel frame suspension design for longer-lasting durability. As far as the sound goes, you get 50mm directional drivers with enhanced bass, along with a redesigned detachable microphone with TeamSpeak certification. It just looks more robust. The control box is redesigned too. We hope to get our hands on a set to test for ourselves very soon. The Kingston HyperX Cloud Revolver headset goes up for pre-order this Friday with shipments to follow on May 9. No word on pricing, but it should be competitive. Peep the reveal video and the full press release below for more details.
