Hyperx cloud core A gaming headset that also plays music very well is incredibly hard to come by. They may be excellent at creating a sound environment for gaming, but when it comes to watching movies or listening to music, they are more of a hassle to put up with than a pleasant experience. We have grown to know and trust Kingston for their great memory products, and now they are dabbling in the acoustic market. The new Kingston HyperX Cloud promises to be a gaming headset that can provide you a pleasant acoustic experience both inside and outside of the gaming environment. Let’s take a deeper look at the review to determine whether or not it succeeds in doing that.
Design
The Hyperx Cloud Core has quite an encompassing design. They are designed as an around-ear headset and come with a premium finish and build. It feels really solid, so much so that you might be surprised when you compare the actual price to the price that built up in your head. The reason that the headset feels so premium is that use there are in fact several premium materials used in the construction. There is plastic involved too but it is of very good quality and has been used just for itself and the base of the headband.
In fact, we are guessing that there is some metal under the plastic outer covering of the earcups as well. The headband itself is made of metal and is covered with leather. It also has a nice nylon stitching that goes all the way around as well as a HyperX logo on top as well. The red colour of the stitching offers a good contrast and looks really good. The cables that extend outward from the base of the headband to the earcups are also covered by nylon to make them stronger and less prone to breakage. The frame that holds the earcups in place are made of solid metal as well.
Durability
Leather covers the metal headband, which is constructed of metal. It also includes a top Hyperx Cloud Core logo and excellent nylon stitching that wraps around the entire thing. The red stitching provides a nice contrast and is quite attractive. Nylon is also used to cover the cables that stretch from the headband’s base to the earcups, making them more durable and less likely to break. Solid metal also makes up the frame that supports the earcups.
The Hyperx Cloud Core logo can be seen on metal plates that are attached to the earcups. Additionally, the earcups include a leather and foam padding that is incredibly plush and enhances the comfort, which will be covered in more detail shortly. The headset has a certain weight to it as well because so much metal was used in its making. There is no way to remove the audio cable, which emerges from the left earcup. We also have the input for the add-on microphone right next to it.
Compatibility Function
When new headphone favorites established favorites that we know and love, it’s usually a good sign. An illustration of this is the Hyperx Cloud Core Wireless headset, which resembles the HyperX Cloud II Wireless headset almost perfectly save from the latter’s flamboyant red ear cup holders and black and red ridged headband. I significantly prefer the Cloud Core’s primarily black exterior style over the other gadget because it has a neater, more polished appearance and only features red HyperX insignia on each ear cup. Additionally, the Cloud Core Wireless is a little more adaptable because of the more low-profile design, which allows it to function well as a headset once the detachable boom mic is taken off.
There is no extra weight on the HyperX Cloud Core that would be uncomfortable for you or put undue strain on your head or ears. Bulky headsets are bulky and frequently cause pain and discomfort for gamers. When you pick it up, it’s instantly clear that it belongs in the lightweight category because the entire device weighs just 10.4 ounces, which is a given its lightweight aluminum frame.
Audio performance
Gaming enthusiasts will be delighted by the crisp, natural, full-bodied sound that the Hyperx Cloud Core large 53mm drivers produce. This was sent over a steady 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal that was unaffected by interference or signal drops.
Although the bass notes didn’t go as low as those from other headphones (such as the Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X or the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless), they were nevertheless powerful and deep. When I tested the headphones in the Ring of Eldenrich acoustic environment, I found that the mids and highs were exactly as anticipated. Here, it created sparkling chimes for the spells of my astrologer character, and as the music became more intense, the soundtrack’s mids felt warm and rounded.
