1
00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:06,200
gaming headsets with some notable exceptions including the steel series H

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:12,880
Wireless Corsair Vengeance 2100 and Audio Technica at A1 to name a few are

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:15,000
terrible truly they're so bad that

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:19,520
usually when a manufacturer calls me up and is like ommg lonus we have this

5
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:24,760
awesome new gaming headset do you want to review it I'm

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:28,199
like yeah sure send it over if you want me to whip it out on camera and shake it

7
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:31,720
around a little bit until we're both feeling tired and a little bit ashamed

8
00:00:30,119 --> 00:00:35,360
which is basically what I told Kingston when they asked me to review the hyperx

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:39,559
cloud when I dropped by their booth at packs at least put them on your head

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,039
they pleaded in an attempt to make me reconsider I made some kind of

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,440
half-hearted threat about lawsuits and headlights from sharing headphones I

12
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:49,920
mean I was only half joking cu the worst pxs attendees are about as well- groomed

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:55,280
as a typical homeless person I begrudgingly put them on and I was

14
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:56,960
stunned by how much sound their closed

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,840
design was able to block on the busy show floor and by how amazingly

16
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:06,040
comfortable light they felt on my head I said so and my Kingston contact knew

17
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:09,439
this moment of weakness was his opportunity to attack then with the

18
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:12,799
Precision and strength of an adolescent giraffe who was a little big for his age

19
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:17,920
he followed up and said the mic's removable they've got great sounding

20
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:19,560
53mm drivers and they're only 100 bucks

21
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:24,119
unable to hold my own against his feverish onslaught of product

22
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:26,439
salesmanship I gave in and said okay

23
00:01:24,119 --> 00:01:30,560
send me a pair and I'll review them I've spent some time with them and I got to

24
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:36,600
say they deserve more than a review they deserve the STDs treatment welcome to

25
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:40,880
episode number two of stuff that doesn't suck featuring the hyperx cloud gaming

26
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:51,640
headset d skill's new rip Jaws 4 Series is their ultimate ddr4 memory with

27
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:57,399
speeds of up to 3,333 MHz available click now to learn

28
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:01,119
more it starts with the unboxing experience and I'm already impressed at

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:06,520
this point you get a padded mesh carry bag a braided dual 3/2 mm extension with

30
00:02:04,119 --> 00:02:11,480
inline volume and mute controls an additional dual 3/2 millimet extension

31
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,360
just in case you want to go make food while you listen to music but you don't

32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:19,360
feel like investing in a wireless headset an airplane adapter a four pole

33
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:24,680
3 and2 mm adapter for mobile devices and Ultrabooks a detachable boom mic

34
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:26,120
alternate memory foam earpads with vour

35
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:31,720
covering in case you don't like the genuine leather ones that come pre-installed and finally the headset

36
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:38,319
itself self which I'll start with by repeating myself real leather what a

37
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:42,640
fantastic inclusion because you know what what did cows ever do for me anyway

38
00:02:40,519 --> 00:02:47,760
the comfort of my ears is much more important to me than cows and it gets

39
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,280
better you also get a sexy surprisingly durable matte plastic construction

40
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:56,040
accented by this gorgeous fingerprint resistant brushed aluminum finish on the

41
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:59,840
ear cups and the size adjustment mechanism that goes up into the headband

42
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:04,879
which features a tasteful embroidered hypx logo but lonus lots of gaming

43
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,120
headsets look good and very few of them sound like anything but a muddled bass

44
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,040
heavy mess what about these ones not the

45
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:17,760
case I mean yes they are a little bit beats generation tuned that is to say

46
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:23,080
there is some extra emphasis on the base and mids are a bit underpowered but

47
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:29,159
unlike the Kraken Forge for example that I wanted so badly to like because they

48
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:34,400
looked and felt so sexy the clouds managed to keep the aforementioned Basse

49
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:39,200
Punchy and tight enough that it doesn't overwhelm everything else throughout my

50
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:43,040
testing the cloud stayed fantastically comfortable and delivered a great

51
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:47,720
listening experience in my usual mix of top 40 and Titanfall game streams that I

52
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:52,200
use to evaluate gaming headphones I was absolutely Blown Away by how much I

53
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:58,319
enjoyed reviewing the hyperx clouds the mic delivered a solid performance as

54
00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:01,760
well um so here's the mic test I got him

55
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:03,519
I got him great kid don't get cocky

56
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:08,360
thanks Grandma I'm sure flopsy is feeling much better now yeah the wife

57
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:12,799
and kids are sleeping finally time to game a bit so no it isn't on par with

58
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:17,199
the audio Technic that I reviewed earlier this year with some noticeable

59
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:22,360
tinniness to the sound but frankly not much is and these only cost a third as

60
00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:25,919
much but since they don't have any weird you know Wing style headband design

61
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:31,400
things going on and I find them much more comfortable I got to give again

62
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:35,560
kudos to the clouds now obviously Kingston doesn't actually manufacture

63
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:41,160
headphones in the same way Corsair obviously doesn't manufacture well

64
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,199
anything so by this point I was curious

65
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:47,360
who with some of Kingston's input presumably had actually built this

66
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:52,280
miracle product I didn't have to look far the detachable mic cover says qpad

67
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:56,840
on it and so does the box for that matter interesting and not a bad thing

68
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:00,919
at all qad is very well regarded as a maker of value Centric headphones and

69
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:05,520
headsets looks like Kingston made a great choice and great choice is pretty

70
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:09,440
much the video summary here they aren't perfect I worry a little bit about the

71
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:15,120
longterm robustness of the internals of the size adjust mechanism but especially

72
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:20,720
at the actually lower than $100 $80 price that they're on at Amazon for at

73
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:25,960
the time of filming they are an absolute no-brainer go buy this headset if you

74
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,400
