HyperX Cloud Revolver

Good for gaming. The HyperX Cloud Revolver have a well-balanced sound, a great noise filtering mic and a low latency, wired connection. They're comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions, but like the Cloud II headphones, they have no software support for added customization options. This makes them a bit less personalizable than other popular gaming headsets. Their design is also not the most breathable so your ears may get a little warm after gaming for a while.

The HyperX Cloud Revolver is a good headset, but its higher price tag eliminates most reasons to buy it instead of the original HyperX Cloud or Cloud II.
