HyperX Xbox Licensed Gaming Headset, Noise-Cancelling Mic

The sound quality of this headset was FAR superior to the sound quality from my old low-end headset. It was magical! I had no idea that my songs could sound so good. I wanted to keep this headset forever.

But I had to return it. I couldn’t tolerate wearing the headset for more than five minutes at a time. The headband created an unbearable pressure point at the top of my skull. I needed a greater clearance, but the earpieces would only extend about an inch on either side. I needed at least another half inch, and the result was pure pain.

In spite of this, I did attempt to make a voice call. But the microphone output was too quiet for my listener to hear. I had to crank up the volume, and that lead to terrible static, which was worse than the low volume. So I abandoned the new headset and returned to my old low-end pair.

I now suspect that the microphone would have worked better if I had positioned it close to my jawline. Instead, I positioned the microphone at some distance in front of my mouth–which I now believe was a terrible mistake.

I would have liked to have done more experimenting, but I was unable to: I couldn’t bear the pressure on the top of my skull, and my listener could not hear me, so I was all too glad to rip them off. The pressure-pain lingered for about a half an hour after I removed them.

If the pressure point had not been such an issue, these could have been a very nice headset. The audio output was gorgeous. I very much hope that they’ll work out better for someone with a more-appropriate head size.

Bought the wired version on sale at 30 dollars, and what a steal! I did the YouTube audio test and the results were pretty phenomenal, and also tried them with some 8D songs and the spatial audio was amazing. For gaming I didn’t notice THAT much of a difference to my super cheap headphones, but I did start noticing some smaller sounds in Halo Infinite like the flag rustling and footsteps more frequently. Some people knocked on the microphone but for gaming I think its amazing, I went into a lobby with my friends and I had by far the best quality sound. It might not be studio recording level or anything, but its pretty darn good at least paired with my Victrix Gambit controller. The only two things to keep in mind are that the wire is pretty short, not a big deal for me as I play on controller, and the audio control is located on the wire and very small, not a problem for me as the Victrix Gambit has audio controls on the controller. Other than that, outstanding headset especially considering the price!

Love them. I do not use them for gaming though. I have them plugged into my PC so I can watch YouTube videos in the morning without waking up the rest of the house.

Great headset, cord only lasts a year no matter what I do, just buy the warranty, and works great.

Headset maravilhoso, antigamente eu tinha um Cloud II e agora adquiri o Cloud X para usar no Xbox Series S, é praticamente igual ao Cloud II só muda que não vem com placa 7.1 ( e nem precisa porque o próprio Xbox faz o trabalho da placa, é só baixar o aplicativo DTS ou Dolby Atmos, alta qualidade de som, diferente do Cloud II o CloudX possui ajuste de volume no cabo e isso é muito pratico para quem joga no XBOX, enfim, produto Excelente, nada a reclamar.

I bought these headsets over 2 years ago and they are one of the best purchases I have made. The audio quality is amazing and they are comfortable enough for me to wear for hours on end. The microphone quality is also very good for a headset and I love that you can detach it when not in use. The cable is also braided and to this day shows no sign of wear, tear or unravelling. I take these headsets everywhere with me whenever I travel and they have seen their fair share of rage and abuse from gaming and travel but hold up perfectly. Whenever these do decide to give out I may very well just get another pair.
