Kingston's move into peripherals is a foretelling sign that other Kingston branded gear that isn't memory or storage may make an appearance in the future. Of course, I could be wrong and it might stop here at the HyperX Cloud.

There are a lot of gaming headsets that you can buy for $100, but we can only think of a few candidates that can truly match the Kingston HyperX Cloud on performance and overall design.

Utilitarian design; Aluminum build; Soft padding; Interchangeable ear pads; Durable braided cables; Useful bundled accessories; Large 53mm drivers; Outstanding audio quality for its price; Affordable for what it has to offer

Rubber cap on line-out port can easily get lost; Detachable microphone could be better

Gaming peripherals are big business for plenty of firms, but few have managed to replicate the success of HyperX. Having started life as a high-performance memory line, HyperX is now an entire product division of Kingston Technology, and the manufacturer's catalogue includes an array of...

Light and comfortable; Good battery life; Detachable noise-cancelling mic; Audio quality suited to gaming

Wireless limited to PC and PS4; Too bass-heavy for music; Pricey at £140

HyperX is new to the wireless headset game, yet its first entry into this new segment, the HyperX Cloud Flight, hasn't been hindered by the company's lack of experience. Battery life, comfort, and sound quality all come together with this mid-range wireless set. That's why despite the tough co...

If you're looking for gaming headphones that can double as an everyday pair for multimedia on-the-go, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Don't get me wrong. The HyperX Cloud Flight is a great set on its own: quality audio, excellent wireless capability, good battery life and is comfortable to wear… in...

HyperX makes some of my favorite gaming headsets, so I'm glad to see a wireless Cloud reach the market. The Cloud heritage is a solid base upon which to build a wireless headset. However, some of the key Alpha goodness didn't fully carry over to the Flight, and that's a bit hard to swallow given the...

It's been barely a week since the annual CES tech bonanza shut up shop for another year, but HyperX has wasted no time getting in its very first wireless gaming headset out into the wild.

The HyperX Cloud Flight headset sounds fantastic, is very comfortable, and offers excellent wireless range and battery life. The price is on the premium side for a 2-channel design ( ), but if they are in your price range these are really, really good.

The HyperX Cloud Flight might make a statement with 30 hours of battery life and built-in lighting, but its design and features lag behind other more affordable wireless gaming headsets.

30 hour battery life; Punchy bass and great overall sound quality

Only 2.0 channel audio; Incompatible with the Xbox One

HyperX’s debut wireless headset is missing some key features, like chat mix and microphone monitoring, but it looks good, sounds great, and feels excellent. Another contender for our $150 headset pick.

Audio is clean and well-balanced; Incredible noise isolation, even at moderate volumes; Comfortable, with intuitive built-in controls;

No software means few options for enthusiasts; Microphone is passable, but nothing special; Expensive compared to the competition;
