Kingston HyperX Cloud gaming headset review

Rating: 9.5.

Kingston's reputation as a maker of storage solutions is well cemented at this point – they have been making memory modules, flash drives and solid state drives for years now. Today however we look at something new from the company after a partnership with QPAD. The resulting amalgamation of influences has produced a smart looking piece of kit, known as the HyperX Cloud gaming headset. It has a stitched leather headband and memory foam earcups … all built around a pair of 53mm drivers.

  1. Wow these look great, very nicely designed. look more like proper audio headphones, rather than kiddie gaming phones with flashing lights everywhere.

  2. Yeah, interested in these myself. look wicked. almost like a pair of Sennheiser HD598’s

  3. Rebranded Qpad QH-90, which is in turn a rebranded Takstar Pro 80 with a mic, which is a big reason why they’re so good. Ordered one of these the other day to replace my Steelseries Siberia V2.
