There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The following is my personal opinion (not an expert, just an avid gamer) on the Kingston Technology HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset based on using them for online and offline gaming, and my experience with other headsets I own or tried (Sennheiser PC360, HD 595, Turtle Beach PX5, Tritton 720, Astros A40, A50, Beyerdynamic mmx 300, PS Pulse Elite, among others). There is very little to dislike about the package offered in this headset, since at around $99 one gets all the goodies other companies are no longer including with their headsets while keeping a high quality look and feel on every piece. Be aware of what you want from the headset experience and this package may be just right for you.
PROS
+Extreme comfort, is impossible to describe. I use glasses and never felt discomfort. Also pleasantly light weight
+high quality packaging, easy to open and access the accessories
+Plenty of accessories, for example there is a cable with a controller on it that serves as an extension and a separate extension cable without the controller. This may offer all the accessories one may need for this or any other pair of headphones since is all in standard 3.5mm connections. Carrying soft bag is a nice touch.
+good quality construction, aluminum headband is really great (reminds me of Beyerdynamic, and it is so because this headset uses Beyerdynamic technology)
+Good sound, excellent isolation from outside noise. The closed designed is hit and miss, is a preference thing. At their core this headsets sound really good
+lots of bang for the buck
CONS
-at its widest, the headset opens just enough for my head. I use L/XL caps so I'm not small headed, but this is one of the few times a headset does not open wider than I need.
Neutral/Wishful thinking
~as good as they sound, they are not fooling anyone these are not audiophile grade. They are not advertised as audiophile so is not a problem. But I like everything about them a lot, and the lack of an audiophile option is a downer (would be more expensive, that is why the Beyerdynamic MMX300 on a whole other league)
Final Thoughts
What drove me towards this headset was the similarity in design with Beyerdynamic and the good reviews I have seen around the web. I got to say that this product delivers on all fronts as an ENTRY level headset. For the price they are hard to beat, all the accessories included and high quality makes this a winner. For those looking for a more refined experience, don't stop here. There are simply better options (more expensive by the way) out there. Look at Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic for the top of the line, Astro for the package of mixamp and headset, Turtle Beach for the customization options etc. However if one gets this headset and stops here, is ok as long as it fulfills the needs of the user.
For comparisons sake let's take a look at the sound quality. Sometime when Im using the A40 or HD595 I get lost in the sound, like I enjoy the sound as much as the game and that adds a layer of immersion to the gaming hobby. I did not get that from the reviewed headset. I got good sound, excellent comfort and great isolation, but once it was all about the game and sound it was as ordinary as listening from the home theater system in the sense that I never got "lost" in the game. This is a personal preference, nothing expert about it.
A few notes on my original review: USB adapters will work just fine on this and most will be able to drive it with no problem (60ohms is not too much impedance), the default cups are real leather and not pleather like I thought they might be (maybe this speaks to the quality of their leather or just how good pleather has become as of late), the velour is still crap after I gave it another shot, and you can buy an external 5.1 converter like the Sound Blaster Omni or ASUS Xonar to achieve a simulated surround sound that works pretty nice. Still highly recommend these!
ORIGINAL REVIEW -
Summary:
Pros:
+Insane (I don't use that term lightly) value per cost: this thing will make beats sound like trash at almost a third the price.
+Highly comfortable pleather (they say it's leather but I'm skeptical) earcups that are circumaural (surrounds the ear).
+Well-constructed design that will last due to metal framing instead of cheap plastic.
+Mic quality, despite being modular, is pretty good.
+Can switch out earpads from pleather to velour (velour earcups are included).
+Y-connector to allow you to connect line and mic wires to a single 3.5mm jack (for use on mobile phones, etc.).
+Comes with a detachable in-line mute/volume.
+Includes 2m extension cable to top it all off, as well as an adapter for airline-style, 2-prong connectors and a carrying bag.
Cons:
-No (included) USB support. I'm sure you can get something to convert analog to USB.
-Dual channel only, no surround sound, but you should know this if you're looking at buying these.
-Slight pressure on ears after several hours of gameplay.
-Earcup position is somewhat stiff, so it will not "stretch" to your ears, you will have to pull cups down to your liking. Some people would consider this a pro so there is no "pull" I suppose.
-Velour isn't of the best quality, my old Gamecom 777 had velour earcups that I could literally wear for 12+ hours without flinching, these bothered me after about 2 hours of wear so I stuck with pleather. Although, the pleather does breath well.
-Passive noise-cancelling means you can't really hear much around you, nor can you block all of it out, and there's no way to prevent that due to closed-cup design.
-No real cons, these are all just me being nitpicky to give you an idea that I have considered its downsides.
Where to begin? The quality of these headphones, especially considering their price, is astronomical. I upgraded from a Gamecom 777 headset (slight downgrade from their current 780). While this was a great headset that got me 3+ years of use, it began to crack slightly so I decided to upgrade before they completely broke. Before those, I had a Logitech G35 headset that broke after roughly a year of regular (not intense) use that I was disappointed in, so I decided to avoid Logitech if possible. I saw a review about these from Tek Syndicate on youtube claiming they were very good quality for their price. I got these earlier today and let me tell you the difference in audio quality is staggering. Not just in gaming, but in music too.
I decided to listen to some of my favorite music (I usually listen to Drum n Bass) and I was able to hear things I could never hear before. The bass is everpresent but not overpowering, mid-frequency responds well, and highs don't pierce like they can on some headphones. These headphones have inspired me to take a much better look at audio quality in the future when it comes to computer hardware. Fortunately, my motherboard (MSi Gaming 5) has an isolated/shielded PCB section specifically for its analog channels so I was able to take advantage of what these things can do.
In my gaming tests, these worked amazingly. I've owned 5.1 surround sound headphones before and these felt just as natural to use in Counterstrike when it came to locating footsteps. I noticed I was doing moderately better in terms of situational awareness compared to my old headset, but it was also a dual-channel so that was to be expected. I never felt lost when it came to footsteps, I always knew where they were. I also tried this in World of Warcraft for fun on a private BC server I play on, and audio seems fine. Low-frequency noises feel more natural (rumbling, BGM, etc.).
The microphone is of good/great quality. It is obviously not perfect because it is not a dedicated mic, nor is it of the highest quality, but that's to be expected with most headset mics. What's great about this headset is that if you do feel the need to upgrade your mic to a compression or studio-quality mic, it is completely detachable and you can easily use it just as a headset.
For $80, you will not find a better quality audio from a headset, much less one that includes a good quality mic. This thing was considered by many reviewers (Tek Syndicate, Hardware Canucks, etc.) to be a great value at $110, so for $80 you simply cannot beat it. I cannot stress this enough: this is an insane deal.

Au déballage, on voit que Kingston a soigné la présentation de son casque : on trouve une jolie boite noire avec le logo HyperX, dans laquelle se trouve le matériel. Le dit matériel est bien protégé dans sa mousse. Au premier contact avec le casque, on ne peut qu'apprécier le niveau de finition et le look, bien que sobre, largement efficace. Le sac fournit est un petit plus agréable, et Kingston nous met à disposition des coussinets de rechange en velours, même si on préférera ceux en cuir pour leurs meilleures performances.On apprécie également les câbles tressés, ainsi que le nombre impressionnant de rallonges, adaptateurs en tout genre qui rendent ce casque compatible sur tous les supports. Le micro est également bien fini et fonctionne à merveille. Au niveau confort, récompenses à l'appui, le casque est très confortable, et ce pour de longues heures. Passons maintenant au plus important, le son : tout d'abord l'isolation acoustique, qui est bonne, dans un environnement peu bruyant (vous ne jouerez surement pas en plein milieu d'une rue au centre-ville, donc pas de problème à ce niveau là). Le son en lui même, dès la première écoute, nécessite des réglages : après plusieurs minutes de régales avec foobar2000, l'écoute musicale est tout simplement excellente pour un casque gamer ! Basses profondes, aigus présents sans être agressifs et médiums biens réglés (à vous de bien manipuler l'égaliseur). Quand aux réglages via la carte son pour l'écoute en jeu, un réglage quasi-similaire de l'égaliseur permet une écoute de qualité : sur Arma 3 les balles sifflent et claquent comme si vous étiez, et les explosions font sortir de ses gongs le registre grave. A noter que la séparation des canaux stéréo est très bonne. Pour finir, peut être la meilleure chose à dire sur ce casque et qui vient ajouter un argument de plus pour l'acheter : son prix imbattable. Un rapport qualité prix qui défie toute concurrence, et qui fait que ce casque peut faire face à d'autres casques haut de gamme. L'HyperX Cloud est un produit qui n'as plus à faire ses preuves, et si vous voulez un casque gamer de qualité à faible prix, c'est celui qu'il vous faut.
“Hyper X”というのがブランド名で、高性能という意味。ゲーマー向けメモリーやSSDにこの名前が使われています。
このゲーミングヘッドセットはQPADという、スウェーデンのゲーミングデバイスメーカーと共同で作成されたものです。
長所
・1万円前後で、ゲーム用ヘッドセットとして必要十分な性能を持っている。コストパフォーマンスが高い。
・FPSで足音がばっちり聞こえる高音強調設計(音質)。僕の環境では、サウンドカードを付けてなくても何の問題もなかったです。
・定位感が良く、FPSで敵がどこにいるのか分かりやすい。(5.1chサラウンド機能はない)
・マイク性能は値段以上でかなり良い。自分の声がクリアに伝わります。
・密閉型ヘッドセットで、大音量にしても音が漏れない。ボイスチャット(VC)でゲーム音が相手に漏れることはないです。
・締め付けがちょうど良く、付け心地が良いので、メガネをつけないなら長時間使用も可能。低反発イヤーパッドは少し細長く、耳をすっぽり包んでくれます。
・付属品が豊富で高級感が漂う。特に革のイヤーパッドと布のイヤーパッドを最初から選べる製品はなかなかないです。
短所
・高音を強調するので、FPSゲームには最適だが、音楽にはあまり向いていない。
・ゲーミングヘッドセットの中では、少し重いほう。
・密閉型なので仕方ないが、革製のイヤーパッドは何時間か使用すると夏は蒸れて汗が出やすい。また、メガネを付けると3時間くらいで耳が痛くなる。
・説明書がなく、人によってはイヤーパッドの外し方や付属品の使い方が分からない。
・ロゴのデザインで好みが分かれる。
※最初の3つは最高レベルのゲーミングヘッドセットでも同様の問題点が出るため、仕方がない点ではあります。音漏れせずに、メガネを普通にかけたまま、汗が出ないヘッドセットなんてありません。
スペック
kingston_hyper_x_cloud_5
ドライバーは53mm径。分類は密閉型(布製イヤーパッドは開放的になる)。ケーブルとマイク含む重さは350g。接続は音とマイクともに3.5mmミニジャック。
付属品は布製イヤーパッド、取り外し可能マイク、マイクミュート機能付きコントローラーケーブル、2メートルの延長コード、持ち運び可能なメッシュバッグ、ヘッドセットスプリッター(音を一つにまとめるケーブル)、マイクのふた、飛行機座席用の接続プラグ。
保証は2年。周波数特性やインピーダンスは見ても分からない人が多いと思うので、省略します。気になる人は公式ページを見てください。
音とマイクのレビュー
音質については、高音がよく聞こえる感じで、足音など重要な音が聞こえやすく、FPSゲームなどに有利な設計になっています。
また、ステレオ(2ch)での定位感が良く、AVAやBF4などのFPSゲームで敵の位置がはっきり分かります。5.1chサラウンド機能はありませんが。
ただ、音楽にはあまり向いていないかなぁと思います。高音が多い音楽ではちょっと疲れる感じというか、高音の鳴りが耳につく感じ。
イコライザの設定次第では、緩和できるとは思います。逆にいうと、ゲームにしかヘッドセットを使わない人には安心できる選択肢になりますね。
ドライバーが53mmと大きいので、高音質再生が可能です。Hi-Fi対応で、低音から高音まで細かな音も再現できます。
マイクの音質は値段以上の出来でかなり良く、自分の声がクリアに相手に伝わります。また、周りの音を拾いにくいです。僕の場合は、ヘッドセットを替えたらすぐ周りから「声がクリアになったよ!」って言われました。
取り回しも良好で、自分の好きな位置にマイク部分を持ってくることができます。
また、革製のイヤーパッドは密閉性が高く、音漏れがほとんどありません。僕は足音を聞くためにかなり音を大きくしてるんですが、それでも味方に音が漏れることはなかったです。付属の布製のイヤーパッドに変えると、逆に開放的になります。
FPSにおいて、ゲームの音漏れが味方に伝わるのは致命的なので、この点はかなり良いと言えるでしょう。
付け心地や付属品のレビュー
kingston_hyper_x_cloud_2
低反発の革製レザーパッドで、付け心地はかなり良いです。密閉型にしては締め付けが弱く、音漏れがないため、長時間の使用もできる形になっています。
また、イヤーパッドは細長い形状で、耳をすっぽり包んでくれます。
ただ、革製のイヤーパッドだと夏は蒸れて、汗が出やすいです。また、メガネをかけて使用すると、何時間か後に痛くなってきます。この辺りは密閉型だと仕方ないところではあります。
両端の長さを調整できるヘッドバンドのフレーム部分はアルミニウム製で、耐久性が高いです。ただ、この部分でちょっと重くなっているのかなという印象。
ヘッドバンドの頭頂部は柔らかいクッション素材で、頭の大きい人でも痛くなることはあまりないでしょう。
ケーブルは布製の編みこみ式で、柔らかくて取り回しやすいです。2メートルの延長ケーブルは普通のコードですが、こちらも絡まりにくいです。
コントローラーにはミュート機能とボリューム調節機能がついています。特にボタンを押している間だけミュートにするボタンと、スイッチ切り替え式のミュートボタンは便利。
付属品が豊富で、特に布製のイヤーパッドが最初から付属しているのは珍しいです。また、コントローラー付きの延長コードの他に、別途2メートルの延長コードが付いているのもなかなかないと思います。
持ち運び用のメッシュバッグが付いているので、オフライン大会でも安心です。iPhoneなどに接続できるケーブルや、飛行機の座席に接続できるプラグ、ヘッドフォンとして利用するときのマイクのふたなど、細かな付属品もいいですね。
説明書がないので、人によってはこれらの付属品が何なのかわからないと思います。公式サイトを見れば分かるんですが、ちょっと不親切かも。
ヘッドセット全体のデザインはよく、白と黒の2種類が選べます。ただ、ロゴのデザインがいかにもアメリカっぽいというか、派手なので、シンプルなものが好きな人は気になるかもしれません。
ゲーミングヘッドセットの新定番になり得る!
総評としては、かなりおすすめのゲーミングヘッドセットになります。
1万円前後でこれだけの性能をもっているゲーミングヘッドセットはなかなかないです。
FPSにおいては特に、足音がしっかり聞こえる・定位感がある・音漏れがない・自分の声がクリアに伝わる・付け心地が良くて長時間使用できるという、5つの要素が重要で、これらが全て揃っている製品が1万円以下ではほとんどありませんでした。
2万円以上出せば、これらが揃うのは当たり前で、そこまでは出せないけど、安く良いものが欲しいって人に特におすすめのゲーミングヘッドセットです。

※最初の3つは最高レベルのゲーミングヘッドセットでも同様の問題点が出るため、仕方がない点ではあります。音漏れせずに、メガネを普通にかけたまま、汗が出ないヘッドセットなんてありません。

音とマイクのレビュー
音質については、高音がよく聞こえる感じで、足音など重要な音が聞こえやすく、FPSゲームなどに有利な設計になっています。
また、ステレオ(2ch)での定位感が良く、AVAやBF4などのFPSゲームで敵の位置がはっきり分かります。5.1chサラウンド機能はありませんが。
ただ、音楽にはあまり向いていないかなぁと思います。高音が多い音楽ではちょっと疲れる感じというか、高音の鳴りが耳につく感じ。
イコライザの設定次第では、緩和できるとは思います。逆にいうと、ゲームにしかヘッドセットを使わない人には安心できる選択肢になりますね。
ドライバーが53mmと大きいので、高音質再生が可能です。Hi-Fi対応で、低音から高音まで細かな音も再現できます。
マイクの音質は値段以上の出来でかなり良く、自分の声がクリアに相手に伝わります。また、周りの音を拾いにくいです。僕の場合は、ヘッドセットを替えたらすぐ周りから「声がクリアになったよ!」って言われました。
取り回しも良好で、自分の好きな位置にマイク部分を持ってくることができます。
また、革製のイヤーパッドは密閉性が高く、音漏れがほとんどありません。僕は足音を聞くためにかなり音を大きくしてるんですが、それでも味方に音が漏れることはなかったです。付属の布製のイヤーパッドに変えると、逆に開放的になります。
FPSにおいて、ゲームの音漏れが味方に伝わるのは致命的なので、この点はかなり良いと言えるでしょう。
付け心地や付属品のレビュー
kingston_hyper_x_cloud_2
低反発の革製レザーパッドで、付け心地はかなり良いです。密閉型にしては締め付けが弱く、音漏れがないため、長時間の使用もできる形になっています。
また、イヤーパッドは細長い形状で、耳をすっぽり包んでくれます。
ただ、革製のイヤーパッドだと夏は蒸れて、汗が出やすいです。また、メガネをかけて使用すると、何時間か後に痛くなってきます。この辺りは密閉型だと仕方ないところではあります。
両端の長さを調整できるヘッドバンドのフレーム部分はアルミニウム製で、耐久性が高いです。ただ、この部分でちょっと重くなっているのかなという印象。
ヘッドバンドの頭頂部は柔らかいクッション素材で、頭の大きい人でも痛くなることはあまりないでしょう。
ケーブルは布製の編みこみ式で、柔らかくて取り回しやすいです。2メートルの延長ケーブルは普通のコードですが、こちらも絡まりにくいです。
コントローラーにはミュート機能とボリューム調節機能がついています。特にボタンを押している間だけミュートにするボタンと、スイッチ切り替え式のミュートボタンは便利。
付属品が豊富で、特に布製のイヤーパッドが最初から付属しているのは珍しいです。また、コントローラー付きの延長コードの他に、別途2メートルの延長コードが付いているのもなかなかないと思います。
持ち運び用のメッシュバッグが付いているので、オフライン大会でも安心です。iPhoneなどに接続できるケーブルや、飛行機の座席に接続できるプラグ、ヘッドフォンとして利用するときのマイクのふたなど、細かな付属品もいいですね。
説明書がないので、人によってはこれらの付属品が何なのかわからないと思います。公式サイトを見れば分かるんですが、ちょっと不親切かも。
ヘッドセット全体のデザインはよく、白と黒の2種類が選べます。ただ、ロゴのデザインがいかにもアメリカっぽいというか、派手なので、シンプルなものが好きな人は気になるかもしれません。
ゲーミングヘッドセットの新定番になり得る!
総評としては、かなりおすすめのゲーミングヘッドセットになります。
1万円前後でこれだけの性能をもっているゲーミングヘッドセットはなかなかないです。
FPSにおいては特に、足音がしっかり聞こえる・定位感がある・音漏れがない・自分の声がクリアに伝わる・付け心地が良くて長時間使用できるという、5つの要素が重要で、これらが全て揃っている製品が1万円以下ではほとんどありませんでした。
2万円以上出せば、これらが揃うのは当たり前で、そこまでは出せないけど、安く良いものが欲しいって人に特におすすめのゲーミングヘッドセットです。
Why is this so impressive? Well, let's break it down.
- The headset comes with both proper leather pads, as well as voleur pads for a cooler design. This option is a HUGE bonus for me as I tend to prefer velour over leather, so to have that available to me definitely fueled my interests into this headset.
- The amount of accessories you get simply is outstanding. With this headset, you get the two pads as mentioned above, an airplane adapter to connect this to the special jacks used on most airplanes, a detachable microphone that also includes a tab to cover up the port when you just want to use these as headphones, a Mobile adapter so that this can be used as a headset for your Mobile phones (This also allows compatibility with the PS4 and the Xbox One w/ it's separate purchase audio adapter), a non-braided extension cable, a braided audio adapter to allow the use of a volume slider, mute switch, ASWELL as a call button if being used on mobile, and FINALLY a travel pouch to carry your headset in. Try to name one other headset at this price range which comes with THAT many accessories.
- 53mm speakers, which already put it above a huge chunk of other headsets available on the market. This allows for bass that sounds alive, but never reaching to the point it kills out anything else such as treble or clarity in the low to mid range audio.
- The microphone, as mentioned above, is detachable. The quality however on it, whilst it's not going to blow you away, is definitely more than suitable for gaming and streaming.
- The headphone's frame is aluminum, which will definitely help with the product's longevity. So whilst other headsets with their mostly plastic builds will see the end of the road at the worst of around a month or so (Perhaps even worse if you bought a bad pair), this headset will continue to keep going, and going, and going.
- Comes in an absolutely stunning Black/Red design, however if you prefer something a bit lighter, the headset is also avilable in a White/Black design, which even itself looks very very good. I just tend to love red as a colour on my products, so the Black/Red design was the one for me.
- EXTREMELY comfortable. I've never had one issue with these ever beginning to hurt over an extended period of time, and I tend to be a heavy gamer, who almost never listens to anything through speakers.
- Packaged with care. When you open this up, you feel as if you're getting something that's double or even triple the price, even though it's far less money than it actually is.
- This headset is based off another headset that itself, was based off a pair of affordable high quality headphones (Takstar Pro 80), so you know that when you break down the fundamentals, you're getting something that was already designed to sound good right out of the box as standalone headphones.
- Sound on these, in a nutshell, are incredible. I've used virtual surround sound headsets that never sounded as good as these do. When it comes to gaming, I'm able to hear audible noises that were almost impossible to hear on my previous headsets. It all feels lively, as if I'm really getting into the game, and it definitely improves my performance thanks to the audio cues I'm now able to hear. For music, everything sounds clear, and if you give it some dedicated/higher quality sound cards, the headset can really perform on a level unlike most others.
I seriously cannot recommend these enough. If you demand the best, but also demand a good price tag, the HyperX Cloud Pro is the WAY to go. HyperX nailed it right out of the park.

Los compré por recomendación y la verdad es que no me arrepiento nada, los uso para gaming principalmente, tiene buenos graves, no petardean por muy alto que pongas el volumen, que se puede poner muy alto, por cierto, pesan poco, tiene buena sujeción en las orejas (no hacen daño) y en el pack viene con dos tipos de orejeras, unas de polipiel y otras de tela, el que más te guste, dependerá si es para Invierno o Verano, sirve para cabezas grandes y pequeñas ya que su banda de ajuste tiene un gran rango, aíslan mucho del exterior (aunque no tanto como otras marcas), es decir, si quieres escuchar lo que pasa fuera estos no son tus cascos, si vienes de unos cascos abiertos quizá al principio te cueste adaptarte a su aislamiento de sonido exterior, pero al final resulta muy cómodo y además hace que la experiencia de sonido sea más profunda al oírlo mejor todo.
El micro es lo que más me asustaba, ya que es de minijack conectado al casco izquierdo, no se puede subir ni bajar, pero es flexible, así que lo puedes poner en la posición que quieras (yo cuando no lo uso en vez de quitarlo lo enrosco haciendo una C contra el caso, tiene una buena calidad de sonido por lo que he podido testear y mis compañeros escuchar, no tiene mucho ruido de fondo y tiene un largo medio, lo bueno de este tipo de micros es que si se estropea puedes comprar uno suelto en cualquier tienda de electrónica y adaptarlo, sin necesidad de comprar uno de mesa o cambiar de cascos.
Tiene un cable muy largo trenzado que además viene con un alargador por si lo quieres aún más largo, se conecta por minijacks y tiene adaptador de consola, el mando viene con una rueda para el volumen, botón de mute y tecla de ''pulsar para hablar''.
Buenos acabados, te dan la sensación de buena calidad y no tienen pinta de estropearse fácil, materiales de aluminio.
Una gran compra sin duda, dejo foto con la forma del micro para dejarlo guardado sin que moleste y sin tener que quitarlo.
