HyperX CLOUD Revolver S Pro Gaming Headset Review

Introduction

HyperX takes their pro gaming seriously and having sponsored many winning eSports teams around the world; they have more than a few friends who know a thing or two about what makes a great gaming peripheral. We’ve seen a fair few headsets from HyperX over the years, including the highly praised and award-winning CloudX, Cloud II, Revolver, Stinger, and now the latest addition to the collection, the high-end CLOUD Revolver S Pro, which promises Dolby 7.1 Virtual Surround, a built-in DSP sound card, powerful 50mm drivers, and much more!

“HyperX Cloud Revolver™ S features Plug N Play virtual Dolby® Surround 7.1 audio – no software required. The USB digital signal processing card outputs consistent high-quality sound no matter what system you’re using. Revolver S has a clippable audio control box so you can quickly Push-to-Dolby, mute and regulate mic/output levels. Signature HyperX memory foam and the wider headband provide even greater award-winning comfort. TeamSpeak and Discord certified, Revolver S ensures you’ll always have clear communication.”
