Windows Central Verdict
The HyperX CloudX offers players so much quality for such a small price.
Well, it still holds its own with very few fallbacks to note.

The company did not see the contents of the review before publishing.
HyperX has priced their mid-range gaming headset fairly at just $59.99, although it’s often discounted.
In the box itself, you will find the HyperX CloudX gaming headset, along with the detachable microphone.
If you grab it quickly, you will also pick it up for a discounted price.
This isn’t bad, though; if it’s not broken, don’t fix it, right?
So, let’s talk about those memory foam earcups.
It’s all down to personal preference, though.
If you like leatherette cups, they do the job.
This is where the “CloudX” ultimately earns its namesake.
But, these seemed to fit well, with minimal discomfort.
Honestly, I expected them to feel relatively cheap and be particularly easy to break.
But that’s not the case, and I have been pleasantly surprised.
Indeed, this is arguably the best “entry-level” gaming headset in terms of sound reproduction.
Stereo can offer some positional awareness, of course.
But it wasn’t enough to accurately pinpoint where a particular sound was coming from.
Ultimately, they do what they’re supposed to.
That’s how I feel about the HyperX CloudX; it does what it should at an adequate level.
You won’t want to use it to record any audio, but why would you?

One thing it does do well is within the noise cancellation.
You should buy this if…

A simple-yet-stylish headset.
Comfy ear cups and great sound make this one of the best affordable gaming headsets out there.
