BigRedNoleI've had the Hyper Cloud X. The plastic part holding the earphone to the base has broken 2x. The first time they reluctantly replaced the headphones after a month of arguing. The second time they wouldn't. They don't sell the little plastic piece so you have to find a 3d printer to pay for them to be made. Total waste and won't buy their product again.
ChanceImagination456I had 3 of these. They always break within 6 months.
The right earcup always fall off the hinge and the material on earpads starts deteriorating after 6 months of daily use. I used to like these headphones but not anymore because build quality is bad. I switched to Sennheiser 660s and a usb mic.
mo-parI like the hyperx cloudx
sandman0905Hyper x the best Xbox headset
SnooFoxes3615Lol. Same with hypercloud. Why are people getting downvoted for reccommending gear they themselves have a positive experience with? Used mine for over 15 years. Has not skipped a beat. Comfy. I like the sound. Boom cones off if you don’t need it. It’s been fantastic bang for the buck.
Running Hypercloud- X headset here for years. (Like 15 years plus..still going)
I use the “fluffy” pads. (Came with two) still not worn out. Guess they don’t make em like they used to. Nothing has come off yet. But yeah… that would make me buy something else.
WonTooTreeWhoreHiveHyper X Cloud X, same for gaming
bravo145Hyper X Clouds. I had the first version for almost a decade, currently have the 2s ( and have been asked what external mic I was using because people didn't think it was a headset mic). The 3s are out now and seem well reviewed but I haven't used them personally.
Dewgong550The mic quality is significantly worse than their original wired Cloud model headset. I found it very uncomfortable, a bit heavy with very loose clamping force, like slightly bending forward they move around a lot, so if you suddenly turned around or sneeze or something it could shift a lot or even fall off your head unless you have a wide enough head. Sound quality was alright, but not as good as regular wired headphones in that price range. I didn't test battery life, but I've heard they are pretty good with that. Also some people may care while others don't, but the build quality is very cheap, all plastic casing and hollow buttons other than some removable covers on the ear cups and the headband adjustment are aluminum. And the plastic isn't a deal breaker for me personally, but it was a very cheap hollow feeling plastic, the kind you might find on say a "little brother" controller or a hard plastic kids toy. For me though the comfort and the mic quality were the biggest problems, and there might be mic replacements out there from other companies, but I couldn't really wear them for long as is because I found them particularly uncomfortable. I wanted something comfortable and high quality for discord that was wireless, but they just weren't good enough. I don't really have a recommendation in place of it though for wireless, I'll unfortunately have to keep looking for myself as well for now.
