I've never subbed to any Review channel, most of them are full of ads, and nonsense shit. You kept it straightforward, no bs. This is why i'm subbing to You. Keep it this way and You Will get far!
Good review, I actually ordered them since HyperX has been well regarded going back at least nearly 10 years when I discovered they made headsets, and this could be used on anything including my pc with 3.5mm jack. Helpful and informative review, from production quality to sound an altogether good vid.
@@Kylenger007 no, you can add it on Xbox though through settings, and it's been forever since I used ps4 but I vaguely remember being able to use it on there, but don't quote me
So I've been recently in the market for a new headset for my Xbox and while I find a lot of review channels that cover a large diversity of 'phones tend to be very hit or miss I was delightfully surprised by the quality of your content. You definitely have a new subscriber with me!
Never posted a comment before but had to let you know how amazing this review was. I hope big things come your way and I think this review format was perfect! Liked and subbed.
I’m excited. I saw your review this morning and went and picked up a pair literally this morning at GameStop. I’ve wanted another pair of hyper x clouds ever since I had the cloud 2 wired from ps4 days. The cloud 2 usb dac however just didn’t work well sound wise with the ps5. Now that this is strictly 3.5, I can use it in various applications and consoles and even eq it through my nova pro wired dac amp. But as you’ve already said before, get used to the core sound first before making any modifications, so that’s what I’m going to do, get comfortable with core stock sound first. Looking forward to testing them out tonight!
thank you for the up to date review of these! the cloudx received a generational change a few years ago that removed many accessories from the package, and i was afraid they might have messed with the drivers or changed anything on that front. it's great to hear that you still think the takstar based headphones sound great. these go on much deeper sale than the cloud 2s and i wanted to make sure they were high quality.
I just picked these up on Amazon. I noticed right out of the box that it doesn’t have the white stitching on the top of the headset like in different videos about this cloud x model, also it seemed very flimsy to the touch but does feel like it is durable somehow lol. The box you have on the table is the same box i received which is a different box from other reviewed videos. Also when I opened the box it didn’t come with any plug for where the mic goes thinking they don’t provide it anymore or just simply forgot to attach it when packaging. Anyway nice video just thought I had a fake HyperCard cloud x. But if anyone else noticed this and know more about it please let me know. Thank you
Just order them today cant wait to try them out super excited i just wanna be able to hear around me like from what direction they are coming from. Or building
Definitely the most comfortable clamping force and headband. The most comfortable earcups go to the newest xbox headset. The best sound quality has to go the corsair HS60. If I could combine the good factors in those three headsets, I'd finally find the perfect headset 😂 Edit: the audio quality on this headset is still pretty damn good
Solid review m8👍. So my take is that position awareness is the key and like you said its good on cloudx. Any other recommendations for series x? Am a bit sceptical because of the controller blugin like should it effect on guality if controller battery is low?
I'm a college student, I was thinking of getting headphones for online studies, lectures and all; in addition to watching movies and listening to music, plus gaming on holidays... would you recommend buying this in that price range?
The microphone and speaker quality in general depend on the preamp. These headphones have a very neutral sound with no EQ "enhancements". Otherwise, integrated EQ and compressor would cause issues with both the 3D sounds (stereo delay/illusion) and also it simply wouldn't sound as accurate considering they likely use reference monitors when developing the sounds for games. These actually sounds just as balanced as my trusty old HD280's that i use in my music studio so they did their homework.
I just bought them. The sound and everything is great, but I can't figure out how to enable mic monitoring. Is there no mic monitoring feature with this headset???
It's an analog headset so unfortunately it won't have any options for that. Mic monitoring would be enabled/controlled on your console/PC side if what you're playing on supports it. This would be the same with any headset that uses a headphone jack.
I read that if you hold down the mute button, it will beep enabling mic monitoring. I know your comment was 7 months ago but thought I would chime in lol
I'm undecided between these HyperX CloudX or the Microsoft Headset (wired) to use with my XBOX SX, any advice? Will HyperX because of the 53mm drivers be superior for competitive games like COD? I had the Microsoft Wireless Headset and I liked it a lot, the only problem was having to charge the battery constantly, and the poor quality of the material, so now I consider a wired headset.
Really great content! I would like to buy a gamer headset at Hyperx CloudX price. Would you recommend it or is there any better headset on the market then this? I think im gonna buy it, but if you would suggest something better (for example microphone), I would appreciate it :D
Can anyone help me? I got this headset just for gaming, and my mic is too sensitive! lets say I play gta and my friends ccan hear the in game sounds! MY game audio is at 10% but they still hear certain things. Can anyone help?
I had these, loved them, paid £80 last year but the mic went bad, team mates used to say my headset was buzzing but I couldn't hear anything my side. Returned them, went to tb 700 wasn't happy, then went to Xbox wireless headset,but that's muddy sounding and the chat wheel stopped working so I need new headset, I see Curry's have the cloudx for £40 right now .... How do the cloudx compare to the new tab recon 500
So I seek exactly this type of sound quality as minimum (also for listening to music), but I want wireless headset using Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth protocols. What's your recommendation?
I have a problem where I brought a brand new headset and it had a buzz in the left ear when i tried it on the series x controller but when I tried it with a old Xbox controller it sounded perfectly fine. This was the steel series arctis 3 headset
@@GadgetryTech I already had a Corsair headset with my Xbox one controller and then I brought a series x and the headset did seem quieter and less basey
here in Portugal this headphones costs 44 euros, but the model X is out of stock, can i buy the blue model for my Xbox series X? The sound and the drivers are exactly the same on both versions?
Are these identical to the cloud 2s? do they feel the same as cloud 2s quality wise? I'm looking at a pair for black Friday at bestbuy might get em if they feel and profrom the same
Will these work with the Xbox elite controller that is wireless I’ve had nothing but issues with my wireless turtle beach headset with the Xbox series S and unfortunately I can’t use my ps4 Astro A50’s so today going to pick up a wired set hoping this makes the difference
Can you help me please ? i have this headset, nothing is wrong with it except when i try to speak in xbox party’s no one can hear me ? will an adapter help this?
Check your inline mic switch to make sure you aren’t muted and the mic is fully pressed in on the headset. Make sure the cable going into the controller is fully inserted as well. If you can, try plugging this in to something else to see if it works there too.
There's a small switch on the inline cord that turns the mic on and off. Check that out in case. Otherwise make sure you have a solid connection and aren't muted on the Xbox side.

Got the cloud 3's recently. Awesome headphones in all aspects. They are so good structure quality.
Great review, as I am on my way to get these exact headphones thanks to your recommendation. Cannot wait to try it on Xbox Game Pass today!
Thanks so much Mike! They sound amazing for the money!
See you on the battlefields

Good review I got mine from GameStop refurbished for a discount like 33$ I'm looking forward for it to come!
Great review. 👊have them arriving today and real glad you completely backed my choice. I had equivalent turtle beach before.
Was going to buy them since my Astro A40s shit the bed the other day, and looked for a video to convince me, thanks man. Deadlocked on these now.
Between these and the A40's, which did you prefer? Just picked up the A40, but saw these on sale so wondering if I should take the A40s back.
Great review this made me get the headset
Is the headset good?

How are they now?
From what I understand, this is the new version, made recently
While the white stitching was made long ago for Xbox One
I order today for Amazon to play Nintendo Switch Lite and enjoy the home office. Thanks for the awesome review! Subscribed 🖤
Great review, very informative! Thank you

$34.99 on Amazon as of October 2023. Great headset.
Best gaming headset review, actually i'm just buying this because of your explanation. Thanks!
Same I was gonna buy a different pair but he convinced me!

But Corsair has robotic mic
@x_saadi9422 wasn't referring to mic sound quality, but yea. Corsair's mics are cheap and break easily too.
Great review, have had some problems with series x and wireless headsets. Going to pick this up today
I had a pair of Astro a50s and honestly prefer these over them.
Are they multi platform?
Very nice reviews 👌🏻
Ordered mine today
Thank you so much about to get these, i subbed
Thanks for the sub! They are a great headset.

What freaking mcdonalds did you go to?!?
@@qarful7 its like a monopoly thing they do and you can win prizes with some luck maybe its not in other countries but canada has it rn
If you connect them without a splitter for two 3.5 mm wires, does the microphone work? Many people say that it only works with a 2 3.5 mm jack adapter

@@nocturnal6311 did you find the coupon bro
I have the hyper x cloud but I can’t find out how to set them up right but everyone can hear me move and shoot through the Xbox party
I think it’s the mic monitoring option. Click the home button go down to the right corner and there’s a volume symbol.
Could I use these with the Astro mix amp, and also is there any echo when chatting?
So I seek exactly this type of sound quality as minimum (also for listening to music), but I want wireless headset using Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth protocols. What's your recommendation?
Awesome review. I currently use this headset on Xbox and it is great. I use it for call of duty warzone. Keep up the great reviews 👍🏽
Thanks! Yeah the headset is great for that. Very detailed

Will these work with the Xbox elite controller that is wireless I’ve had nothing but issues with my wireless turtle beach headset with the Xbox series S and unfortunately I can’t use my ps4 Astro A50’s so today going to pick up a wired set hoping this makes the difference
Yes they work fine on the Elite controller. Controllers don't get headsets as loud as amplified versions but it will still sound good.
Can you help me please ? i have this headset, nothing is wrong with it except when i try to speak in xbox party’s no one can hear me ? will an adapter help this?
Check your inline mic switch to make sure you aren’t muted and the mic is fully pressed in on the headset. Make sure the cable going into the controller is fully inserted as well. If you can, try plugging this in to something else to see if it works there too.
Can i use that for pc??
how can i conetct this deadset to pc
Would these work with a PC if I connected them to an Xbox controller which is connected to my PC?
Yup! It shows up as Xbox Controller Headset or something like that once you plug them into the controller.
Hey I’ve seen some reviews that the mic will echo is that true?
Mine never did. The audio quality of the mic is okay, but it definitely didn't echo for me. Tested on phone, PC, Xbox and PS5 controller.
just got mine today. and i must have gotten a broken unit because even my apple earbuds sound much more clear. i have to return them :(
so can you use these with pc because my mic isnt working but the audio is on pc any fixes. i am using a splitter not the hyperx sound cloudx
did you find a solution ?
No one can hear me when I talk through the mic. Is there any reasons you may know why ?
There's a small switch on the inline cord that turns the mic on and off. Check that out in case. Otherwise make sure you have a solid connection and aren't muted on the Xbox side.
a question, can i use them on pc with a sound and microphone splitter? are they included?
Splitter is not included but yes with an adapter you can.
It doesn’t connect to my ps5
Any reason its not working for my series x it does say on the box its for series x?
These worked perfect for me on my Xbox series x.
The sound card doesn’t work for Xbox only the 3.5mm jack
Can you use this on ps5
I dont understand, why you say this are not good for pc?
You need a splitter for audio and mic, that's all you need.
Will these work for PC if I have an adapter?
Yes it will, assuming its a TRRS to headphone/mic splitter
If you stick some extra thick brainwavz on these the sound and comfort both go up.
will razer splitter work with these on pc
?
Yeah it should fine assuming it's nothing proprietary.
Are these better than an astro a10 headset ?
Yes for sure. The mic isn't any better or worse, but sound quality is better.
