Reddit reviews HyperX CloudX Pro Gaming Headset for Xbox One/PC (HX-HSCX-SR/NA),Black

HyperX CloudX.

Cloud II's can be used on Xbox One however they have their own CloudX Headset which is designed for use with the Xbox and has a inline control for the headset volume and mute.


PS4 allows the use of the USB Sound Card for virtual 7.1 surround that comes with the Cloud II. Xbox cant do that because it dosnt support USB headsets, the headphones connect to the Sound Card via 3.5mm jack so instead of plugging the 3.5mm jack into the sound card you plugthe 3.5mm jack straight into the Xbox controller or chat adapter. Doing it this way all audio for the headset will need to be controlled through the Guide or chat adapter buttons.


The Cloud, Cloud II (without the USB Sound Card) and CloudX headsets are all stereo anyways so you are getting the same stereo sound with all of them. But if you have a PC you will also be able to use USB sound card on the PC for 7.1. So its an added benefit. Not to mention if you have a PS4 or ever buy one the headset is ready to go for that console.



The Cloud I's also use dual 3.5mm which means you will need to use a Y Splitter to connect it to the controller (cant remember if it comes supplied or not), you wont need that with the Cloud II's.


Each has their own benefits but i would pay the extra $20 for the memory foam head band alone.


You alone need to weigh the options and figure if its better to spend the extra $20 and be set to use it for everything with a few added benefits that may or may not help you in the long run. Pay an extra $10 for the CloudX designed for the Xbox or spend the original price for the base models.


Edit: Also from what i understand the Cloud II's mic has Echo and Noise cancelling where as the first gen Cloud's does not.

Been using them for over 2 months now and love them. Have used many other brands and nothing else compares.

I don't think USB sound cards work on Xbox One so the 450s wouldn't work.

Instead of the TB 420x just get this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HHBYS8E/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1480023218&sr=8-9&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Hyperx

Way better quality than turtle beach especially the build and comfort.

I've got them as well, and love them!

HyperX Cloud II. I've personally owned the HyperX Cloud 2's for over a year and they're amazing. They're a little over your budget, as the cheapest price I found online was about $100, but they're well worth it. If you search around the subreddit, you'll see these are very popular and highly regarded. You can also look at the HyperX CloudX. These came out after I purchased my Cloud 2's, but these add an additional inline volume and mic mute control to the cable. They appear to the be exactly the same as the Cloud II's in every respect otherwise. I do really miss having an easily accessible mute switch in my Cloud 2's to quickly mute the mic in certain situations. You also get a hardshell carrying case which is nice, my Cloud 2's only came with a cheaper soft shell pouch.

Hello I have been looking for a good quality headset for the past week now. I mainly play on the Xbox One and I'm not a PC gamer. I want to know what headsets would you recommend me. I have been eyeing on [Sennheiser GSP 300] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01KV3BB0S/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498117313&sr=8-1-fkmr0&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=sennheiser+headphone+gsp+350) and the [HyperX CloudX pro gaming headset for Xbox one] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HHBYS8E/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1_1_2?smid=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&psc=1). If you want me to consider and look at another headset then please say so as I am new to the gaming headset scene. My budget is around $100 and I can definitely wait if companies are already releasing new headphones later this year. Thanks in advance.

The Hyper X Cloud X is $60 right now. Hardshell case, in-line controls, interchangeable earpads

The HyperX Cloud II that I use is this one with 7.1 USB connectivity for both PC and Mac!:

Note that the 7.1 only works on PC/Mac.

The licensed Xbox One version of it is this (only difference is it includes the case, has a inline audio controls, but looses 7.1 support PC/MAC)

This is the latest model, HyperX Cloud Revolver ($120 though)

https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Revolver-Headset-HX-HSCR-BK-NA/dp/B01CIEBU54/

I heard that it has a frame noise issue, but is slightly easier to put on. The great sound is still there, but not better. Personally, I went with the cheaper Cloud II.

I would shop around though as you might find it cheaper elsewhere.

These?

Hyperx CloudX the best Headset you will ever own! https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-CloudX-Headset-HX-HSCX-SR-NA/dp/B01HHBYS8E/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1520293160&sr=1-2&keywords=cloudx

HyperX has great headsets. I just got the Stinger the other day and I haven't had any issues. Sound is great and it's really comfortable. It doesn't have as many features as their more expensive headsets like a detachable mic but it works great for the price.

HyperX cloud x/2/alpha. All similar. The x and alpha have inline volume/mute controls, the 2’s do not. The x is currently on sale for $20 off.

these

I ordered the $30 ones for in-store pick up from Best Buy and when i went to pick them up, the girl gave me the these. Didn't realize till I got home. I will say, they are really great but I don't know if I'd pay $100 bucks for them. I would definitely look at HyperX in general though

I have heard really good things about these headphones. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HHBYS8E/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_12?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
