These headphones sound great and the build quality is beyond expected for the price. My brother thinks these are as good as my MMX 300, but I disagree. However, I thought it was important to voice his option as he is the one actually using these.

I have no complaints about this headset, it still works like it's brand new 3 years later. I love being able to detach the mic. After nearly 3 full years of use the first set of pleather ear pads did finally wear out enough that I got rid of them, but no other issues.

Solid build quality; Comfy for long periods once it's broken in; Good sound quality (if you have a sound card that can power the ohms; Never had any complaints about the mic; Detachable mic; Excellent packaging; unboxing was fun

For the price none

I bought this around 2 months ago and its already broken. The sound quality is bad.

Kingston's reputation as a maker of storage solutions is well cemented at this point – they have been making memory modules, flash drives and solid state drives for years now. Today however we look at something new from the company after a partnership with QPAD.

Excellent sound quality; Clear, focused dynamics, without distortion, even at high volume, Gaming is atmospheric thanks to superb stereo panning, Fantastic frequency separation, Very comfortable over long periods, Good build quality and aluminium body – no creaking frame under duress, Great bundle...

Will be expensive; Mic sound isolation isn't great

I brought this for my partner for Christmas, they arrived in great condition and the sound quality is great

I purchased this headset for communications purposes rather than gaming. This was done after a study of specifications and ability to perform well over the voice range. I am more than satisfied with my purchase. Purchase on-line was very easy and delivery of product was very fast. Top marks PBTECH.

It is easy to find a good pair of earphones that could also be used for gaming. However, they would lack a built in microphone and will most likely be quite costly. What is near impossible to get is a gaming headset that also works really well at music playback.

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

We regularly speak about the importance of brand identity here at OC3D. Whilst we consider every product based solely upon its merits rather than the name of the manufacturer or similar preconceptions, we are aware that to the man on the street the important thing is name recognition.
