The only outright good thing with this headset is that it is comfortable, not too heavy, and doesn't clap hard on the sides of your head. Regardless, it’s a welcome feature that saves you from having to purchase separate headsets for your different devices. The HyperX Cloud Core Wireless with DTS® Headphone:X®[2] spatial audio provides clear and accurate positional sound for a more immersive gaming experience. Even if they are wired and don’t have any latency, their short cable won’t be great for watching TV. And while I said the SteelSeries Artcis Pro is more comfortable, Cloud Core has the advantage of being wireless, so it’s not an entirely fair comparison.

The result is a more immersive and competitive gaming experience where you are always that one-step ahead of approaching enemies and incoming opposition.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifxNt3le-6KuxcHDuNeR81vBL6cw9FSd5vYo12dFyG7xILuWaNMsZHcTrrZ8a13-tBeecIWM5h228rr5saWjuciqXo-tOrCm5i4pM5WszTaCDaR2iGztJN0vNPk5Etd2dIVCu5C8X0hPxtP0qjVr2dnKtsK4q9TLUvTLsIq_FqRpZ0BBlbI6Q1_ai9Vg/s72-w640-c-h360/hexmojo-hyperx-cloud-core-wireless-review. The HyperX Cloud Core Wireless Headset - Black (4P5D5AA) has been engineered for the PC gamer who demands competitive acoustics alongside lightweight mobility and untethered freedom. Although I wouldn’t describe it as “Legendary Comfort” as HyperX does on the box, it is fairly enjoyable for several hours of listening or gaming. Thanks to the splitter included with the headset, it’s easy to hook up the microphone to devices that use a TRRS connector and devices that have separate connectors for audio output and microphone input. It has a solid aluminum construction and a comfortable headband, alongside a detachable microphone that’s easy to use for long voice chats and gaming sessions.

Unfortunately, our unit showed a small mismatch in amplitude, frequency, and phase, which is important for the accurate placement and localization of objects and instruments (voices, footsteps) in the stereo image.

On the other hand, the HyperX are more comfortable and have a better sounding microphone for online gaming.

The latest addition to HyperX’s extensive headset lineup, Cloud Core Wireless features DTS ® Headphone:X ®1 spatial audio and offers signature HyperX comfort and durability engineered to elevate gaming sessions. I’ve also tried some knock-off attempts at this concept, but they didn’t have the same excellent sound performance as HyperX’s in-house stuff. We've shipped over 20 million gaming headsets, a million keyboards and a million microphones worldwide and don't plan to slow down.

Offering 3D spatial audio, a noise-canceling microphone, and up to 20 hours of battery life, there are definitely more than enough features with the Cloud Core Wireless to keep the majority of gamers happy. HyperX when it first launched the Cloud defined the true meaning of budget-oriented gaming headphones as itself apart from the competition with its superb audio quality and excellent comfort. The HyperX Cloud Core don’t offer the freedom of a wireless design and their fit doesn’t isolate very well against ambient chatter too, which won’t be ideal in a crowded office. The bass is surprisingly powerful for such an affordable headset and should satisfy gamers and music lovers alike.
