The HyperX Cloud Core Wireless is the newest entry to HyperX’s lineup of gaming headset is probably what you would want to pick up if you’re looking to find a headset with comfort and portability in mind; here is our full review on it.
What comes with the Headset?
HyperX Cloud Core Wireless comes with a USB adapter, a USB Type-C charge cable that’s 50 cm long, a detachable microphone, a guide manual and a DTS X instruction card. Those, coming out from the box, they don’t have a personal storage to keep the headset and other accessories, so you have to either keep everything back in the box or buy another bag to store everything in.
Which makes things a bit awkward if you’re someone who travels and grass touch often, bringing everything with you might not be the ideal situation, especially with the USB adapter being slightly bigger than usual at around 6.5 centimeters in size.
On that note, I personally find the best distance for the wireless feature between your computer and headset is around 5-6 meters for uninterrupted usage. You’d also want to avoid having it between any walls or doors since it’ll cause an unstable connection.
The HyperX Experience
The HyperX Cloud Core Wireless features the the signature HyperX memory foam where the ear cushions for the headset is made of leather but feels really soft and somewhat bouncy. From my 5 hours of usage, I didn’t any issues around the top of my head, but there was a slight discomfort around the helix part of my ear for the first 3 hours.
Although, the more I used the headset, the more I feel comfortable with it, so it’s safe to say that the HyperX memory foam works well, which is perfect if you’re planning on using it for those long raiding sessions in the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV Online.
But since the ear cushions are made of leather, it can be a bit annoying for someone such as myself who sweats a lot, but I guess it can’t be helped. Even then, I had an easy time wiping my sweat off the cushions.
The left side of the headset also features some accessibility buttons including: a power button, a mute button, a volume adjustment wheel, a Type C charging port, and a microphone port. Although, with those accessibility buttons being on the left side of the headset, a right-hander like myself did find it a bit awkward at times when I tried to use those buttons.
When using the headset, the noise suppression really lets me immerse myself into my music since I don’t really hear any outside noises. Which can be really useful if you want to tune out the voices of your parents who constantly nag you about spending too much time playing video games.
The material that the headset uses can also leave out any unnecessary fingerprints that I might leave when I had my grubby little fingers on the headset. Even if it does leave any fingerprints, it’s not obvious at all so keeping your headset clean is much easier than usual.
Sound Immersion
The sound quality of the headset seems to be pretty normal and manages to do its job well. The headset offers the DTS Headphone:X [2] Spatial Audio feature which really gives an overall better experience if you play any FPS games since you can pretty much pinpoint the overall location of any enemy footsteps.
Although, my one main gripe about the HyperX Cloud Core Wireless is that the bass effect isn’t as strong as I personally like it to be. But that can be easily fixed with the supported third-part app – DTS X since it can provide a more deep and immersive 3D experience. I personally recommend having the app because it really helps with your headset experience.
Battery & Microphone
This headset can last around for 24 whole hours with full battery and it takes around 3 hours to fully charge it back. Located above the power button, there’s an LED status light that let’s you check your battery status for the headset.
When pressed, it will show a green colour if your battery level is around 90-100%. If the green light is blinking, it means the battery life is around 15-89% and if the light shows a blinking red colour, it means that your battery is below 15%.
The LED status will go out once you pair your headset with your PC. The headset will also turn off by itself if you don’t use it for more than 30 min to save battery. Which I personally find it to be pretty neat since I tend to be extremely forgetful at times.
The microphone also seems pretty normal and I find that it doesn’t really filter out sounds like wind blowing sounds from my stand fan or like people talking behind you. Although, the voice delivery is pretty clear and concise, which is perfect since my teammates can hear me flame them clearly for not ganking the enemy mid laner in Dota 2.
A neat feature that the headset offers is that if you were to press the mute button for around 3 second, it’ll activate the voice monitoring function that lets you hear how your voice would sound like through the headset. And if you want to deactivate it, you can just hold down the button for another 3 seconds.
Verdict
My overall verdict for the headset is that I find it to be really good for gaming and if you don’t have a very strict requirement for it. It does a pretty good job at the things that offers, albeit not perfect. My experience with using the headset is really comfortable which I believe to be the main selling point for this particular headset.
Having not to worry about the battery life is also a blessing since if offers a long battery life. Though the 3 hours to take to fully charge it back can be a bit on the longer side.
