HyperX Cloud Revolver Pro Gaming Headset Review

Introduction

HyperX is one of the most instantly recognisable brands in the PC market today, and that’s no surprise given that they have produced many fantastic quality memory products that are in countless systems around the world. They took a dive into the world of peripherals a few years ago, releasing their much-praised Cloud headset, and later their Cloud II. Now HyperX is back again with what is set to be their greatest headset to date, the HyperX Cloud Revolver.

“HyperX Cloud RevolverTM has a wider audio range that creates depth and width for improved audio precision.
