Sit back relax and feel what’s being called the most comfortable headset for playstation users. HyperX have introduced the new Cloud headset, the first officially licensed headset from the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company Inc. Sony have given the green light and endorsed them as being the real deal!
What are you actually paying for?
HyperX headsets work across the board on any device. The HyperX cloud are flag shipped for Sony’s PS4, it comes in the branded blue of Sony and offers 53mm drivers for the crispest sound quality. Aluminum framing offers a durable base for all those rage quit headset throws!
Another great feature is being able to disconnect the microphone, so once you’re done with your online gaming, clip it off and use it for music on your mobile, making it somewhat more desirable, I know for a fact I would use my gaming headset outside more if I didn’t look like a dorky call centre rep.
It is the memory foam cushioned ear pads with soft leather coating that have given the HyperX it’s real selling point, boasting long play times without discomfort on the ear.
“HyperX is excited to work with an industry leader to deliver our first PlayStation 4 licensed gaming headset as we seek to expand our support for the console gaming market,” said Julien Millet, business manager, HyperX – EMEA. “Now is a great time to engage a massive console audience that plays on millions of PlayStation 4 consoles across North America and Europe.”
