As stated in some negative reviews with the ear pad stitching can happen, but mine didn't happen till 3 years later. They also sell replacement ear pads, for super cheap and for the quality of this headset I don't mind at all and does not effect the overall rating.

This headset is amazing and has been amazing for me. I have taken these around the world for work, they sound super amazing. People always ask me what headset I have. In gaming goes, people always say my headset sounds amazing too, one slight issue is sometimes the mic gets too far away from my mouth. Also has been dipped into cereal a few times HAHA. The mic can get into the way, can be detached but its weird at times.

The mic and headset is amazing, I can have a tv going LOUD ASF, right ahead of me so I can hear a game going on and the mic cancellation is perfect. It does not really pick up the the tv volume.

I don't mind the longer cable but it does get tangled up. It got so tangled up that the braided part on the cable ripped off. Hard to explain actually but that's after years and years of abuse.

I have dropped these headsets many many times, still works as day 1.

Just a heads up on a weird issue I encountered one time sitting on the audio control box, all of a sudden I could hear my self talking. You can fix that super easily by holding down the left eq button for a few seconds.

I don't use the 7.1 surround sound, but the audio controller is nice with adjusting on the fly the volume of the headset, muting ect.

I have used these once on ps4, I don't like how you can't mute your mic after unplugging it from the audio controller. If you are close enough you can plug it in via usb and can use the audio controller. If I was using my ps4, on a couch with it plugged into my controller. I would not recommend as you can't mute the headset.

10/10 headset, I always recommend this to anyone, even in 2021 I would buy a replacement at 79$ is a steal. Technology is not really moved ahead as of 7/2021.

FPS/MMO players BUY THESE!

Bought from Amazon Warehouse as a Used - Like New option. Came in original box with all accessories and packaging. Looked brand new. Item was 150 dollars new at and my Used - Like New option cost 77 dollars. I paid pretty much half price for a new version of this headset. 77 dollars which is the price of a lot of cheap Walmart or Turle Beach lower end sets and I got this for the same price by being smart. My advice, always check your buying options. Amazon Warehouse lists used items often and if it’s like new or very good as the condition it’s usually brand new still. Product sounds amazing and is 10/10 comfort. Headset automatic adjusts to your head. Amazing for shooters like Apex/Battlefield/Division/Destiny/Overwatch and MMOs like WoW and Final Fantasy XIV as well or whatever FPS/MMOs you’re into. Sounds great for music. Mic is the best I have ever used, amazing noise cancellation, sturdy steel frame, 3 different equalizer modes, and Dolby 7.1 plug’n’play push button. Has a pro grade sound stage with sounds incredible. On apex legends before I could hear someone coming from the left or back or right etc. with these I can hear if it’s left or back left and pinpoint them much better and further away. The USB toggle has built in mute switch to go along with your Dolby push button, and also has your volume wheel as well as separate microphone volume wheel. If you can get these like I did for 70-100 bucks new easily neat wired headset out for that price. At full price 150 bucks I’d still rate them high quality and give them a 9/10 for me. I would give them a 10/10 but you can’t manually adjust them to your head. They auto adjust and fit and feel great. But I like my headsets to be a little tighter and firm more so than these allow. Otherwise great, great headset and if you’ve never used a pro grade sound stage or Dolby 7.1 and play shooters get these. These alone will raise your k/d ratio just by wearing them. For anyone buying these to watch movies or music with. They sound fantastic on all 4 modes, and the base hits hard. They work on PC and PS4 via USB and that’s how you can use the built in sound card. They will also work on Xbox, Switch, mobile, etc... You just have to plug the headphones straight in with those options though so no sound card/Dolby 7.1 but they still sound fantastic with the bigger 50mm next gen sound drivers in them. I noticed one guy gave them a low score because he said you can’t use them with Xbox and use the sound card so he docked stars. That’s ignorant. It literally tells you that in the product description and also in the faqs. He gave the product a lower score because he’s an idiot? Ok I guess. Anyone on the fence about these that plays on PS4/PRO or PC definitely get them. Or if you’re like me and play on every console plus PC get them because they work with them all even tho the PS4 and PC take full advantage. If you’re someone who’s looking at these to use with switch, mobile, or Xbox and have no PlayStation or PC keep looking. These are fantastic as I’ve said but to buy a product and not be able to use its best features would be pointless and over priced. Don’t be like the moron who docked stars because he didn’t bother reading the description or reviews.

Weeks of research led me to these, and they are worth every penny.

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2018

Style: USB Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound -Gun MetalPattern: SingleVerified Purchase

I did some pretty extensive research before settling on these. It was between this or one of the similarly priced Sennheisers, which are known for their outstanding microphones and sound quality so I was torn with getting something by HyperX. Also, I wanted something with a USB connection.

I was immediately impressed with the mic of the cloud revolver S, I did some playback tests and the quality is perfect, it cancels out the noise of my keyboard more than I expected as well. While I'm not exactly a perfectionist audiophile just yet, I certainly do my best to get the most out of my system and care very much about my sound quality. I have a nice 5.1 surround sound system for my PC that I use for solo gaming and music playback. I tossed this headset on with some music to test it, when I turned on the surround sound feature I literally had to take them off to make sure that the music was only coming out of the headset, that's how impressive the open sound stage of this headset is. The audio quality is great, decent bass that's not overpowering and the controls on the USB sound card are nice. The cable length is quite long and perfect for my setup. The audio is better on the lower end versus my Grado SR80s and just about the same mids and highs, I love those Grados but I've got to admit that ill probably use these first now despite my preference for open backed cans. These are by far the most comfortable headphones that I have ever put on. I really wanted a headset that has the cutout in the ear-cups for eyeglasses but these are so plush and comfortable it doesn't matter that they don't have one.

I've read quite a few reviews that claim that turning on surround sound diminishes some audio quality, I have not personally noticed this. Surround sound does really widen the sound stage but I feel as though every bit of the sound is still there. It is, however, quite possible that I have some hearing damage from 10 years of ambulance calls with the windows down and the siren on.

If you're like me, a discerning audio and gaming enthusiast, and are torn between these and similarly priced headsets I will say that these are a safe bet. The mic is great, the audio quality is great, the build quality is great and they are super comfortable. The plug and play surround sound is what ultimately sold me on these vs the Sennheisers, Id rather not use razer synapse or some other third party program for the 7.1.

My last headset, a wireless Turtle Beach 420x Stealth had built in mic monitoring, I LOVED this feature, my only jam is that im used to hearing my voice as I talk so im probably yelling into this new mic.

HyperX Cloud II's Evolution?

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2019

Style: USB Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound -Gun MetalPattern: SingleVerified Purchase

I have owned the original HyperX Cloud, the HyperX Cloud II, and now the HyperX Cloud Revolver S, so my experience with this brand is decent to say the least, this covers 4 years and 3 products of ownership.

The Original cloud was very comfortable and offered good stereo quality sound for an amazing price at the time, it lasted 1 1/2 years before the PU leather came off the headset and earmuffs, and was replaced withe the Cloud II. The Cloud II had "virtual 7.1" and it was decent, you could tell it was "fake 7.1" but it served its purpose and had very clear audio, and lasted 2 1/2 years before the control box started failing and would randomly disconnect based on positioning. To be entirely fair I beat the living crap out of that headset and it kept working so I have 0 issues with the Cloud II, and if you can get it at a good sale price I would still recommend that headset to anyone.

On to the real reason you are here, the HyperX Cloud Revolver S. I have spend 6 hours with this headset and there are somethings I like and others I not so much. Coming from the highly acclaimed and award winning Cloud II's I had the bar set pretty high for these so perhaps my review might be a bit jaded, take it worth a grain of salt.

1. Automatic headset adjustment - yes, this does not have manually adjustable sizing features like many headsets do, this feels weird and loose when you first use it, but after some time you do get used to it, however the overall fit for my head is rather loose and not a tight as the Cloud II's were, I do find this to be lacking behind in the Cloud II's department and if HyperX is reading this, consider a HYBRID design where you get some level of manual adjustment with automatic control to ensure a perfect fit, this would completely alleviate this "issue".

2. Audio Control Setup - If you come from the HyperX Cloud/Cloud II and are used to a Windows Audio volume of 30 or so and crank the control up on the DAC (the little control box they give you), you WILL be in for a bad time, guaranteed! Note to HyperX, I am using the latest firmware. "Whats the deal here?", if you use Windows audio setting of 30 and crank the DAC volume control up to max YOU WILL get "white noise"/static in the background and it is very prominent and it's even WORSE with 7.1 Dolby enabled! This actaully almost drew me to consider returning this headset and getting the Steelseries Arctis Pro instead, but I decided to play with the settings some, and boy am I glad that I did.

Audio Setting Configuration - Set Windows Audio to 100 (yes 100, at the very minimal set it to 80 but no lower), if you have Dobly Atmos this headset WILL work with it but it is not required, I noted no unfavorable conditions if using Dolby Atmos spatial sound. Next set your volume slider on the DAC (the little control box) to whatever you find comfortable, but keep that slider below 80% or you will start to get that background noise!

If you follow my configuration above these headphones really start to shine, and the Dolby 7.1 enabled has an amazing sound stage, I was absolutely floored when playing Insurgency Sandstorm using the settings described above, true positional audio achieved!

As for the feel of these headphones, they feel well constructed and sturdy but I do know that they have issues regarding their PU leather earmuffs, we shall see how long these last, I am expecting NO LESS than 1 year as the previous 2 have exceeded the 1 year mark with relative ease and extensive use.

Again HyperX if you read this review please ensure that any future product you make includes proper 7.1 but ensure that the DAC issues mentioned here are resolved and if Windows does need some audio tuning that you apprise your clientele of this in a very forward and public manner to ensure people get the most out of your products.

Overall I would give these a 4.5/5, I should give them a 4/5 due to the tweaking I had to figure out on my own, but I am a merciful reviewer :P

Thanks for taking the time to read this extensive review and I hope this has helped you understand what you are purchasing.

UPDATE: Still going strong after 2 months with no problems. Use your spatial sound settings cautiously can get extremely loud. Bass tickles your ears, playing KoTH in Arma 3 without the ear plugs in you feel the explosions on your ears, it's epic as hell. The microphone is excellent, I play on an RP server and have zero issues communicating why I murdered 3 civilians and have cocaine on me, :D.

Cons: The only con I found with this headset is the sound dongle clip is garbage, (I foresee it breaking soon, and I'll use my warranty) the two volume/mic wheels have no resistance, I prefer to have a wheel that you can notch up one ring at a time and find your comfort zone. So if you move your body (where I keep it) and your leg turns up the volume, RIP you're looking down to turn up or down the volume, you end up losing LOS on your target. Annoying as crap, will sell these once a new sound dongle comes out with these options.

Dude... Blows my HyperX Cloud headset out the water. Bass is hits, it excels at explosions and gunfights in video games, music is meh (if you know settings and stuff it can be good) but I like it, audio is crisp and those footsteps tho. Comfy headset because we all love the memory foam, the microphone is on par with all others.

Pro Tips: Check for used products on this headset, I ordered these for $122 w/ Free Shipping. Came in the box, plastics and manuals all still sealed and fresh. The Box was mangled AF, but the product was pristine. Just saying, save yourself $25 and get the 1 day shipping or just patiently wait. O/o

Do you have feedback, your voice and background noise coming from the dongle being plugged in? Easy, hold the EQ Button on the side for 5 secs. Should fix it, if I had read this review would have saved me 4 hours of frustration. I hope I help at least 1 person. Their mic derps out or something, and needs a kick in the dongles to get it back on track. Happy Gaming my friends.

The Revolver S DOES have mic monitoring / side tone; it's just bad.

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2017

Style: USB Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound -Gun MetalPattern: SingleVerified Purchase

I had the HyperX Cloud II, which is truly a great headset, but wanted voice monitoring / side tone (I end up talking way too loud if I can't hear myself in the headset). I tried the Logitech G933s, but, in addition to the side tone being too quiet (if I maxed the volume I got a lot of background noise/static), the headphones themselves were not particularly comfortable and felt heavy on my head. Next I tried the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2s. The side tone on these is great (the Razer app lets you adjust everything and is really well done), and they're much more comfortable than the G933s. My only complaints were (1) the cord is too short; (2) I wish the mic were detachable (it slides back into the left ear cup); and (3) HyperX headsets are just MORE comfortable.

I saw some discussion on reddit about side tone in the Revolver S headset, which I thought didn't exist (due to official Kingston responses to questions on this product page), so I ordered the headset with high hopes. It turns out the Revolver S DOES have side tone; however, it appears to have been added after the fact (the manual doesn't even reference it) and the functionality is VERY limited. In order to turn it on, you need to press and hold the button on the left side of the USB dongle (primarily used for switching between mix pre-sets).

Unfortunately, there is no way to independently adjust any of the side tone settings. This means your mic sensitivity is permanently maxed (if you reduce your mic sensitivity on the dongle, the side tone remains the same until the mic is muted, when it also becomes muted), which meant I could hear myself breathing along with background noises. I tried to fix this issue via Windows input level settings, but they had no effect. Additionally, the volume of the side tone relative to other audio through the headset is fixed, so, for example, the side tone was always much louder than the game I was trying to play (you could potentially adjust some of this in windows settings I think, but it wasn't an obvious fix and, even if it were, it wouldn't help the sensitivity issue).

Outside of this issue, the Revolver S is a very, very comfortable headset with some additional flaws. Specifically, touching the metal frame or cords can be heard in the headset, as discussed in other reviews, which is an annoyance that shouldn't be present in a $150 headset. In the end, despite the comfort of the Revolver S, the side tone was just too sensitive and too loud for me, so I stuck with the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2s because they provided the best combination of comfort and side tone (and are $50 cheaper than the Revolver S).

If you don't care about side tone, I'd go with the HyperX Cloud IIs. If you need side tone, I'd recommend the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2.

Fantastic Gaming Headset yet has become everyday/ALL day wear!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2019

Style: USB Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound -Gun MetalPattern: SingleVerified Purchase

Update 12/30/2019: Almost a full year since original purchase! Still great and have been used on a continuous basis. They have traveled to and from college and still no visible wear! My son is quite happy with the sound quality and no-tangle heavy-duty cord.

Original review: I bought for teenage gaming, music, and YouTube aficionado. He did his research and found these to have excellent ratings for all of the uses that interest him. The first headset arrived and had an awful oniony smell. We thought it was off-gassing from the well-designed foam packaging. The headset is expensive and the manufacturer treats this quality product as an expensive, technical instrument. My son tried to use for a few days but the smell was terrible and made his whole room smell like rotted onions. He did more research and found that some folks had received defective headsets with bad smell and they were able to exchange for good ones. We contacted Amazon and exchanged with no issue and VOILA!! Excellent non-smelly headset arrived. It is so comfortable and has such great quality sound (and noise cancelling) that he wears pretty much from morning until night except to school. The microphone provides clear voice transmission without a lot of echo for gaming. He prefers to watch movies on his phone with headset on as the sound is so much better than from TV. He listens to audiobooks for his classes and pleasure as well as reading the books. Due to the excellent noise cancelling feature, he can focus better. The cord is heavy duty, well-made and resists kinks due to the design and weaved texture and is definitely long enough. He does spend time with family and still has headset on but takes one ear out of the large leatherette-covered foam ear speakers to be able to participate or wears them around his neck as headset is just so comfortable. The top has an adjustable part to fit head better and ear speakers comfortably fit over ears without turning ear red. Yes--the signature headset hair is inevitable--he doesn't care because he loves them so much! This headset is definitely worth the money! We did buy the extended warranty but with such good quality hope we don't need to use.

Great sound quality, construction, and comfort!

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020

Style: Stereo - Gun MetalPattern: SingleVerified Purchase

I purchased this during Prime Day sales. I think it was about 50% off so I was very happy with the deal. I bought it to eliminate noise while gaming when others are sleeping, since I can't use my speakers.

I play PC games exclusively and never had a headset before so I was a little hesitant, but reviews were glowing for this model. I am happy to say that after a few months of use, they are quite nice.

Comfort: There is no manually adjustable height on this. It's all automatic. The soft, squishy band that rests on your head is the thick one in the picture. It is spring-loaded on the sides and will settle the headset out at a comfortable level. I was concerned that it might let the earpieces sit too high or low but it actually works out quite well.

The memory foam earpieces are soft and do not bother me after gaming for hours. They enclose my entire ear so I don't have any pressure on my earlobes.

Construction: The plastic used in this seems durable. The metal frame of the whole kit is rigid and holds up well. The removable boom mic is a thick, sturdy boom of flexible rubber that holds its shape and position well. The cable to connect to the PC is long (finally!), braided, and flexible. The volume adjust and mute features are in-line and reasonably close to the user without being in the way.

After a few months, everything is still great. Memory foam is holding up. The springiness of the upper band is still fine. The boom mic still holds its position.

Sound: I admit I don't have the headset experience to say whether this is amazing or not. I know that for me, sound quality is clear and crisp. Bass has a nice thump, and quality remains even as I turn up the volume. Boom mic performance is also good and my buddies don't have problems hearing me.

Overall: I am very impressed with this headset. I obviously recommend getting these on sale just to fundamentally save money, but I would say these are good enough that it might be worth paying full price if you're hard up for a nice set of headphones and you need it now.

What I think one year after purchase.

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2020

Style: USB Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound -Gun MetalPattern: SingleVerified Purchase

I play 3-4 hours of games every night during the week and 3-5 hours a day during the weekend. I play FPS games like Escape From Tarkov, Arma, and DayZ. I am always in a Discord with friends and sometimes streaming. My last two headsets were HyperX Cloud II and HyperX Cloud Alpha. I have used the Logitech G930 and Turtlebeach Z11 in the previous ten years.

Before I bought the HyperX Cloud Revolver S, I was already leaning towards a HyperX set because of how much I loved the HyperX Cloud II. I was betting on an improvement in ergonomic design, mic improvement, and sound quality. I was using a ROCCAT Juke virtual 7.1 USB stereo sound card & headset adapter with the Cloud IIs, and it sounded fantastic. The reason I was looking at a new pair is that there was a wire break where the cord joined the headset, and I was getting static and sometimes completely losing sound altogether.

Why I loved the HyperX Cloud II?
The sound was great, and the fit was terrific. My previous headset, a HyperX Cloud Alpha, I had given my nephew to play games and not let his mom know. I don't necessarily have an opinion on the Cloud Alpha due to having them for about two weeks. The reason I looked at the HyperX lineup is that the Logitech G930s I had owned previously, while sounded great, were almost entirely made of brittle plastic and fell apart quickly. I was looking for a set that was adjustable and durable with good sound. If you look at all of the three HyperX models I have mentioned above; they have a nice metal frame without an enormous amount of molded plastic connected to it. Cloud II was easily adjustable, and the earpads had thick comfortable padding and lasted for over two years without losing the cushioned comfort. I loved the adjustability for the height or fit of the headset on my head. Cloud IIs metal frame slid in and out of the leather sleeve to allow for adjustment. The mic was nice and clear for my teammates on Discord, but nothing overly special. The frame pad that goes on top of your head was also comfortable. You might ask why I had a ROCCAT audio box if the Cloud IIs came with one, and the answer is, it broke within the first year, and I am not sure what happened, but it stopped working.

Why I bought the HyperX Cloud Revolver S?
The number one reason I bought the Revolver S is because of my love of the Cloud IIs. Again, I was betting on overall improvement from HyperX. That is it; I had become brand loyal.

What did I think out of the box?
I liked the length of the USB corded audio box or sound card because I have a large desk, and it came to a perfect point on my desk where it is accessible and out of the way. I liked the one-button push for the surround sound on the audio box. I wanted no buttons on the headset itself, and the unit does not have any. I am not a fan of trying to feel for buttons while in a match to adjust the sound. I liked the metal frame and finish. The mic looked fine but did not have a foam pop filter in the box, and nowhere does HyperX elude to a pop filter coming with the unit. It probably does not need one, but I prefer one. There are no extra ear cushions in the box, and that was a bummer. The headset is not necessarily adjustable; it might be better to say one size fits all and was disappointing. It has a spring attached to the cushion; you can see it in HyperX's pictures.

As I stated before, my last headset, Cloud IIs, had died due to a disconnection of wires within the headset connection on the left earcup. The Cloud IIs had a combination of soft rubber support and rigid plastic support where the line entered, and I assume, not an engineer; this helped keep the cord from separating earlier than it did. My previous history made me inspect this area on the headset to figure out if I would have the same problem in the future, and to my dismay, the cord relies on a single hardpoint entry on the left earcup behind the mic connection. Ultimately, none of my issues out of the box were enough to ask for a refund or look at a different headset. I stated previously, I had become brand loyal.

What do I think after one year?
The first thing on the headset I stopped using was the mic, but I did take the foam pop filter off of the Clou IIs and put it over the mic for quite a while. It is fine, but I purchased a USB mic and a boom, and I sound much more like myself through Discord and on stream with the USB mic. I think the sound is excellent, and whether I use the 7.1 surround sound depends on whether the game I am playing has decent audio, some games have terrible audio. Still, I'm not too fond of the headband because of not being able to adjust it to my liking. The memory foam is not that great after a year. The earpads became uncomfortable, and I ended up buying new thicker universal earpads. With help from a friend who fixes vinyl and plastics for the military, we made a factory looking, much more comfortable, set of earpads. I did not mess with any changes to the headband, yet.

Would I repurchase it?
No, I would buy the HyperX Cloud II. The Revolver S is satisfactory, but the Cloud IIs are an overall better headset for the price(at the time of writing 09/19/2020 Cloud II @ $96 vs. Revolver S @ $128). If HyperX upgraded the Cloud II's 53 mm drivers to a "Next Gen," not sure if it is a real thing or marketing words, 53mm driver with actual, not virtual, Dolby Surround 7.1 and a better microphone, I would wait outside a store to buy them(depending on the price point:)).

HyperX?
I believe that HyperX produces quality products because I have never had a bad experience. I am still HyperX brand loyal, and they don't pay me or incentivize me to be loyal. I hope they continue to make quality products.

Conclusion.
Even though I would not repurchase the Revolver S headset, I still think it is a good headset, and I am not going to sit here and blast it as if it is not good quality. Every product can be improved, and nothing will be perfect, and the Revolver S may have better audio than the Cloud IIs. Still, with the games I am currently playing, I may not hear the actual difference. HyperX is a good company, and I trust them. I would buy their headsets over Turtlebeach, Logitech, and Steelseries.

Thanks for reading.

HyperX Headset / / / Perspective from new PC user

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2020

Style: USB Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound -Gun MetalPattern: SingleVerified Purchase

Here's my experience with the HyperX Revolver S on PC:

I'm not much of an audiophile as others nor have I had many experiences with mics, but when I got the headset in the mail and set it up (Note this was about a year ago) I was happy with it as the sound quality and the noise cancellation for the mic were both good. They allowed me to be fully concentrated while gaming and the ear cushions were comfortable as well. As far as the mute and surround sound buttons go, I don't use them much but they seem to be working properly. The detachable mic was pretty useful especially when you still want to listen to something but you're stopping to eat or just don't want it to be on. Let it be known that the main reason for me buying this headset was because I tried it out first at a friend's house and I liked it so I definitely wouldn't have got this if I hadn't thought that it worked great. Only problem at this time was the sound quality of the mic, as all my friends in discord thought it was awfully loud and annoying, described as an "Xbox mic" compared to the exact same mic my friend had if you get what I'm trying to say, although that only may be the one I got and not typical. I decided to ignore it because to return an item because of such a small thing seemed petty.

The real problem came a couple months after usage. My headset audio stopped working. At first, I thought it was some kind of problem with my computer audio or the slider on the headset, but it wasn't and my headset had just stopped working. The mic still worked, but obviously, if you can't hear whats the point of even talking. This problem was "fixed" time and time again by me playing with the USB and the cable connecting to the audio control box but this process extremely annoying and time consuming that it made me want to get a new headset altogether. But, the problems didn't stop there. Little side note, back when I played on console, I used to break headsets a lot through usage and anger, but when I built my PC I decided that I wouldn't do anything like that especially since PC gaming is so expensive and all and I had been pretty delicate when handling this mic save the once in a blue moon disconnection from the Audio control box by getting up too fast. Another problem I had with the headset was the constant shocks to my ear when I stood up or even moved in my chair. This was super irritating since I unfortunately have the habit of not sitting completely still while i'm playing or doing anything for that matter. I searched up the reason for this and it said it was due to "dry air and low humidity" or static charge and to be honest i'm not completely sure which one is my issue here, but its still something to be wary about I guess. As of right now, the shocks have somewhat gone away so it may just be a regional/seasonal thing. But, even now the audio for my headset sometimes just decides to not work and it can take anywhere from 10 minutes to a day or two to fix it so the problem is still evident.

Now, is it worth the buy? Let me just say that as a somewhat casual somewhat competitive gamer with no experience concerning high end audio equipment and the like, the audio for this headset works just fine and I can hear footsteps, bullets, etc. wonderfully and it does not in anyway hinder my playing. I usually don't get static shocks while playing anymore but who knows if that will change in the future. Quality of the mic in my opinion isn't anything great so you might as well get an external mic unless you couldn't care less about how others hear you. The headset fits comfortably, the framing adjusts around your head, and the ear cushions look like they could fit the majority of people. I personally would not buy this headset again if I could but for people searching for gaming headsets to use, this one isn't bad. Its actually quite good despite my complications with it and I really don't think everyone has had the same experiences as me. Was it the way I used it? Was it a small defect that only managed to work its way to my headset? I'm not too sure, but if it was, then if possible I would like to return it for a better one and change my review up a bit.

This was my experience with the HyperX Cloud Revolver S gaming headset.
