Still has the Cloud line's signature audio, New EQ settings built into the control box, Better noise cancellation in the microphone
Metal band still reverberates when touched, 7.1 performance isn't up to par with competitors, Overly expensive when compared feature-to-feature with competitors

Price over previous model, awkward mic movements, uncomfortable to wear around neck, Prev2 of 2Next
In the end, it is up to the individual whether they want to pay a premium over the Cloud Revolver for Dolby 7.1 virtual surround sound and a few cosmetic upgrades. It should be noted that HyperX are newcomers to this market, but the headsets they have per...
