00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:06.200
gaming headsets with some notable exceptions including the steel series H

00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:12.880
Wireless Corsair Vengeance 2100 and Audio Technica at A1 to name a few are

00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:15.000
terrible truly they're so bad that

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:19.520
usually when a manufacturer calls me up and is like ommg lonus we have this

00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:24.760
awesome new gaming headset do you want to review it I'm

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

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:31.720
around a little bit until we're both feeling tired and a little bit ashamed

00:00:30.119 --> 00:00:35.360
which is basically what I told Kingston when they asked me to review the hyperx

00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:39.559
cloud when I dropped by their booth at packs at least put them on your head

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:43.039
they pleaded in an attempt to make me reconsider I made some kind of

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:46.440
half-hearted threat about lawsuits and headlights from sharing headphones I

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:49.920
mean I was only half joking cu the worst pxs attendees are about as well- groomed

00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:55.280
as a typical homeless person I begrudgingly put them on and I was

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.960
stunned by how much sound their closed

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:01.840
design was able to block on the busy show floor and by how amazingly

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:06.040
comfortable light they felt on my head I said so and my Kingston contact knew

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:09.439
this moment of weakness was his opportunity to attack then with the

00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:12.799
Precision and strength of an adolescent giraffe who was a little big for his age

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:17.920
he followed up and said the mic's removable they've got great sounding

00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:19.560
53mm drivers and they're only 100 bucks

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:24.119
unable to hold my own against his feverish onslaught of product

00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:26.439
salesmanship I gave in and said okay

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

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:36.600
say they deserve more than a review they deserve the STDs treatment welcome to

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:40.880
episode number two of stuff that doesn't suck featuring the hyperx cloud gaming

00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:51.640
headset d skill's new rip Jaws 4 Series is their ultimate ddr4 memory with

00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:57.399
speeds of up to 3,333 MHz available click now to learn

00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:01.119
more it starts with the unboxing experience and I'm already impressed at

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

00:02:04.119 --> 00:02:11.480
inline volume and mute controls an additional dual 3/2 millimet extension

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

00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:19.360
feel like investing in a wireless headset an airplane adapter a four pole

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:24.680
3 and2 mm adapter for mobile devices and Ultrabooks a detachable boom mic

00:02:21.640 --> 00:02:26.120
alternate memory foam earpads with vour

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

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:38.319
itself self which I'll start with by repeating myself real leather what a

00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:42.640
fantastic inclusion because you know what what did cows ever do for me anyway

00:02:40.519 --> 00:02:47.760
the comfort of my ears is much more important to me than cows and it gets

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:52.280
better you also get a sexy surprisingly durable matte plastic construction

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:56.040
accented by this gorgeous fingerprint resistant brushed aluminum finish on the

00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.840
ear cups and the size adjustment mechanism that goes up into the headband

00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:04.879
which features a tasteful embroidered hypx logo but lonus lots of gaming

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:10.120
headsets look good and very few of them sound like anything but a muddled bass

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:13.040
heavy mess what about these ones not the

00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:17.760
case I mean yes they are a little bit beats generation tuned that is to say

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:23.080
there is some extra emphasis on the base and mids are a bit underpowered but

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:29.159
unlike the Kraken Forge for example that I wanted so badly to like because they

00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:34.400
looked and felt so sexy the clouds managed to keep the aforementioned Basse

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:39.200
Punchy and tight enough that it doesn't overwhelm everything else throughout my

00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:43.040
testing the cloud stayed fantastically comfortable and delivered a great

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:47.720
listening experience in my usual mix of top 40 and Titanfall game streams that I

00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:52.200
use to evaluate gaming headphones I was absolutely Blown Away by how much I

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:58.319
enjoyed reviewing the hyperx clouds the mic delivered a solid performance as

00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:01.760
well um so here's the mic test I got him

00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:03.519
I got him great kid don't get cocky

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:08.360
thanks Grandma I'm sure flopsy is feeling much better now yeah the wife

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

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:17.199
the audio Technic that I reviewed earlier this year with some noticeable

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:22.360
tinniness to the sound but frankly not much is and these only cost a third as

00:04:19.799 --> 00:04:25.919
much but since they don't have any weird you know Wing style headband design

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:31.400
things going on and I find them much more comfortable I got to give again

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:35.560
kudos to the clouds now obviously Kingston doesn't actually manufacture

00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:41.160
headphones in the same way Corsair obviously doesn't manufacture well

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:43.199
anything so by this point I was curious

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:47.360
who with some of Kingston's input presumably had actually built this

00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:52.280
miracle product I didn't have to look far the detachable mic cover says qpad

00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:56.840
on it and so does the box for that matter interesting and not a bad thing

00:04:54.360 --> 00:05:00.919
at all qad is very well regarded as a maker of value Centric headphones and

00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:05.520
headsets looks like Kingston made a great choice and great choice is pretty

00:05:03.320 --> 00:05:09.440
much the video summary here they aren't perfect I worry a little bit about the

00:05:07.400 --> 00:05:15.120
longterm robustness of the internals of the size adjust mechanism but especially

00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:20.720
at the actually lower than $100 $80 price that they're on at Amazon for at

00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:25.960
the time of filming they are an absolute no-brainer go buy this headset if you

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:27.400
