hey guys welcome to hyperx we're here checking out another headset it's not
0:03
the Cloud 2 stay tuned to check out what it is thank you to Squarespace for
0:08
bringing us the CES 2016 this year check out their Link in the video description
0:11
down below this is the cloud revolver series of headsets it comes in two
0:15
models just the normal revolver and the revolver s the normal revolver is a 3.5
0:20
mm base direct into your computer kind of system the revolver s has a USB sound
0:26
card and Dolby 7.1 both headsets feature a long braid cable the cloud revolver
0:31
nons features a inline volume control and mic mute the cloud revolver s
0:36
version features a inline volume control mic volume control mic V Dolby toggle
0:43
and EQ switcher that EQ switcher has three different modes those three
0:47
different modes are Bas boost flat and vocal and they indicate which one is
0:52
currently selected based on LEDs on the controller so there's no guessing going
0:55
on speaking of the microphone there's a detachable mic that doesn't really
0:59
immediately look like a detachable mic which is probably a good thing it also
1:03
has an adjustable boom on it so that you can put it wherever you want it like the
1:07
corner of your mouth where it's kind of supposed to go and they claim that they
1:10
have worked on the actual mic within the boom quite a bit so it should sound good
1:15
of course we can't really do any testing here but maybe we'll get our hands on
1:18
them someday for the construction of the actual headphones themselves there's a
1:22
steel frame going around a rigid frame for the outer part of the headphones and
1:27
then there's a suspended band on the inside so there's a soft bit on your
1:31
head so you aren't putting your head directly on steel the leatherette that's
1:34
used is the same that's used in the cloud 2os so it's actually relatively
1:38
comfy and if you tried the cloud twos on before you'll probably know somewhat of
1:41
how that'll feel in terms of audio quality they're featuring 50 mm angled
1:45
drivers for a more interesting sound floor and they are considered closed
1:49
back headphones but there are little holes cut in the front and the back that
1:53
let them breathe a little bit more so they sound kind of like an in between I
1:58
guess I need some more testing on that but we'll see now I know a lot of you
2:02
guys are fans of the cloud 2os and this might seem kind of interesting cuz this
2:06
is the first time they've moved quite a bit away from the original cloud 1 iD
2:10
that's because hyperx actually developed these entirely inhouse this project has
2:14
apparently been going on for longer than the original release of the cloud 1
2:18
they've been planning on making this for a really long time so I am sure that
2:22
they're interested in your feedback considering how much they were hounding me for it while I was here so let them
2:26
know on Twitter let them know in the comments down below thanks to Squarespace for bringing us here to CES
2:30
2016 if you need a website they can hook you up they have a whole bunch of
2:34
different template models and they can make anything look beautiful they also
2:37
have something like their Commerce module if you need to say sell some well
2:41
look we've got carpet here this is wonderful highgrade carpet it feels
2:45
absolutely amazing if you need to vendor this kind of stuff and have a Commerce
2:48
module you definitely could through their system so I don't know if you have
2:53
any troubles with it you can use their 247 live chat support and email support
2:57
you even might be able to interest them in some carpet I'm not sure if their
3:01
support team needs new carpets in their living room I don't know maybe don't bug
3:05
them with that so they don't get really pissed off at me anyways thanks Squarespace Squarespace build it
