HyperX makes a variety of gaming products designed for players and content creators. This ranges from microphones, keyboards, mice, and more. With the constant change in inflation and the economy, some gamers might be focused on getting as much value as they can for their buck HyperX may be the brand they are looking for. This is what makes HyperX headsets worth your time and money.

HyperX Offers a Choice of Platforms

According to the HyperX website the Cloud III headset is: “…compatible with PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Mac and mobile devices. 3.5mm, USB-A, and USB-C connectors are included for maximum compatibility, no matter how you game.” While not all models are this compatible, HyperX makes specialty headsets for whichever gaming platform you use. Sometimes, gaming headsets are better suited to a certain platform, but there are plenty of options here.

HyperX Headphones are Comfortable

External Compression Headaches (known to gamers as Headphones Headaches) are caused when certain pressures are applied to the head, ears, or neck. It is not known if these headaches are caused by those who are more sensitive to the pressure of headgear. Usually, the pain goes away after the headgear is removed. There is nothing worse for a gamer than to put on a headset and thirty minutes later, one’s ability to play is hindered by cranial pain.

HyperX headsets use a signature memory foam on their earpieces and the headband. This memory foam allows it to contour around your ears without pressing them against your head. Both are wrapped in a plush leatherette to keep feeling as soft and pliable as possible. Other HyperX headsets offer adjustable headsets and differing styles of earmuffs to meet the needs of gamers.

HyperX Headphones are Quality

What do we mean by quality? Many companies use plastic for the headset. Plastics are often cheaper to manufacture and can take some wear and tear. The problem is plastic can quickly break down and snap. This means headsets might not be able to face the problems of accidents without breaking.

HyperX makes the frames of its Cloud III headsets out of aluminum. Aluminum has a higher tensile strength than plastic. This means HyperX headsets can withstand more drops, bends, twists, and accidental problems in packing than other brands.

While this may be down to personal preference, the color scheme of the headphones may seem minimalistic but are attractive. Most headsets come in the color choice of black and red or black. Specialized headsets are color-coded with green (Xbox), blue (PS4), or blue and white (PS5). The children’s models come in multi-colored, lavender, or black.

Sound and Mic Quality

Cheaper headsets have sound quality which lends to a tinnier sounding experience. Even if the sound quality has a better sound to it, certain noises may not pop out to the listener as they should. HyperX headsets utilize different technologies depending on the headset to get the best sound possible. The Cloud III uses DTS HEADPHONE:X Spatial Audio to get surround sound quality close to your ears.

The Cloud Mini headsets are specially tailored for any gamer in training. Any sound under 85 decibels (dB) is fine for children as they are growing and developing. Anything over 85 dB can be detrimental as regular exposure to 100 dB of sounds for 15 minutes can cause permanent hearing loss. The Cloud Mini headsets are designed to offer quality sound under 85 dB.

The Cloud III comes with noise-canceling software as well as a fine mesh. This helps keep the noise gamers want out of the game truly out while still offering quality pickup of the one playing. Multiple brands feature sound controls on the headsets where players can adjust the sound quickly and easily. Multiple microphones automatically mute simply by flipping the mic up.

Affordable Value

One may be reading the article and respond, “A quality headset? In this economy? I have to purchase a cheap headset.” Paying for a cheaper headset usually means sacrificing sound quality, mic performance, low battery life (if wireless), and comfort. That’s not the case with HyperX.

The most expensive HyperX headset costs $199.99. The cheapest model is the Mini Cloud for children at $29.99. HyperX regularly puts its products on sale so one might even find the product desired at a cheaper price. Couple this with a 100% satisfactory guarantee within 30 days of purchasing and this is a good value for anyone looking for a headset.
