Really good audio. Has a good hit of bass but it doesn’t muddle up the other frequencies. Easy to pick out footsteps too. I’ve tried all the hyperx headsets bar the planar ones and this defo offers the best sound plus it has the convenience of having Bluetooth. Would defo recommend for anyone looking for a new headset.
I love these so much, they’re so comfy, I normally struggle to find good headphones since I have big ears and I wear glasses (which causes uncomfortable pinching normally) but not with these! It just feels like it’s such good quality, you can tell straight away when you pick them up and put them on for the first time. They’re adjustable and the sound is great, I own another pair that isn’t wireless by the same make that is also incredibly comfy but these wireless ones are even more so. 10/10 will recommend to everyone!
The headphones overall are perfect fit and adjustable. But one problem maybe it’s my pc or in general Bluetooth connectivity. But whenever I play specific games the sound cuts out and changes connection to something else. Eventually this goes back to normal after a few minutes it’s occuring. The way I fixed it was for NBA specifically that I connect my controller with cable and leave the headphones on wireless. The reason most likely is because the overcrowding of Bluetooth connectivity.
These headphones are amazing for gaming and general music listening. Clear sounds that let you get a better sense of the game environment and Crystal clear discord calls. The main reason I got these over it’s wired counterpart was for the wireless experience. At first I was disappointed as the sound came through static and muffled (which I knew weren’t the headphones themselves) and came across the problem.
In the sound settings for the headphones, it comes under two options: 1 being “HyperX audio Mixed” which is the one you want for the clear sound and 2 “HyperX Audio BG” which is the one you don’t want. I’m not too sure why it comes under these two options but I think it’s the settings for voice output to the pc as well as Audio input to the headphones.
Fixing this issue, the headphones became a dream to use, easy to connect, plenty of battery life for lasting days without needing a charge and clear Bluetooth audio with a low latency. Would definitely recommend maybe in a sale as that is how I got these. Otherwise the price gap between these and the wired Cloud headphones is hard to justify.
I haven’t tried the bluetooth as I only really use this headset to play games on my pc so I just plug it in and the sound is really great, mic is a bit quiet and I have a fairly quiet voice so I have to put it quite close to my mouth but it sounds really clear. Honestly although it looks good, I could have bought another hyper x headset for a lot cheaper and it would probably be the same, considering I never use bluetooth, but it’s decent, I got it on sale so it was a lot more worth in my opinion. The surround sound is also amazing I know exactly where people are when playing fps and it’s super clear.
I’ve had the headset for over a year and 8 months and its still going strong ear cushions need replacing as the faux leather started coming away but its very affordable to replace.
Overall I don’t recommend this headset in 2021 as there’s much better options for the money such as the steel series arctis 9x and the corsair HS75xb I went for the arctis 9x as they have superior audio performance for the price and offer dual wireless connectivity at roughly the same price as the cloud mix both are extremely comfortable my review for that headset will come soon.
Well i must say these are well wirth the money and you’ll not be wasting your time with these. I play on ps4 and pc and they work great with both. You hear the enermy footsteps with ease and music and movies are amazing also.
Personally I think it is overpriced for a pair of gaming headphones, but my daughter loves it so…
On the plus side the sound is good (though I prefer my Sony XB950’s) and the microphone is clear.
Bonus of course is the wireless bluetooth.
Build quality is good, they feel very sturdy.
Only negative is that I think you can get just as good for cheaper, it;s a lot of money if you accidentally step on them.
I use these for all sorts. blutooth connected to mac for music and general listening while working and also wired to controller while gaming both on PS4 & Xbox.
I love HX headphones. They are always comfy and sturdy. Though my last set were faulty (different model though) which is what these ones replaced. these have been perfect so far, have used them fro maybe 4 months. Lovely sound and come in quite a fancy bit of packaging compared to say Turtle etc. 10/10 Would buy a again.
Can get a bit uncomfortable after 4 hours of consistent use but If your using them like a normal person then they are great, sound is amazing and there not to bassy there just right and yes the earcups are a bit smaller than standard earphones but the padded leather on the earcups are quite good so it doesnt hurt ears (it will do if you wear them for more than 4 hours with glasses on) I also really like the way I can use them wired for gaming and other times for music with bluetooth, must reccomend
Really nice headset and very comfortable. The sound is perfectly clear as well as the output of the mic, easy to sey up and the battery life of the headset is reasonably good. It also takes no time at all to recharge them. Top quality for the price paid.
I decided to buy these headphones after my Cloud II finally were done after 3 years. I was a little worried about buying them because there’s a huge price difference! However, I’m so glad I did. I’m someone who uses headphones for gaming and for when I’m on the go. They’re really comfortable and sound lovely, both Bluetooth and wired. The only slight let down is the sound leakage so I do get a little worried when I’m on the train but most of the time it’s loud in public anyway and it’s not that significant. But they’re definitely perfect for gaming, comfortable and awesome sound! I love the removable microphone feature because it means I can happily use them in public and it has great sound quality. I don’t think there’s a massive jump in quality from Cloud II but there is a noticeable difference. But I do love the Bluetooth and the sleek design. These are definitely worth it -I’m really happy with my purchase!
An amazing product like always by HyperX, but not for everyone. I have owned cloud alphas before that, and do not get me wrong, those were amazing headphones as well. They were a bit bulkier, not wireless, and a little worse sounding, but unnoticeable without a hi-rez capable system. They were also more comfortable than cloud alphas. Do not get me wrong, they are still really comfortable, but because cloud mix is smaller in size, the earcups are also smaller along with their amazing padding. I would call that the only downside to the headphones. Also the price. Are they worth their full price of ~180? Probably not. At that price range there are other good options like Bose and Sony wireless, that are always on a discount. But if you can get them for 100 like me? Those would be one of the best headphones in the price range. And given that the product is made to be an all-rounder for wireless outside when you aren’t home, and plugged in for gaming at home, those are the best headphones out there for me. Would they be ideal for you? See for yourself. In conclusion, they are amazing headphones, designed for certain people, not everyone.
I currently own the HyperX Cloudx Revolver Gears of War and Corsair HS35 (green) headsets. The Corsair is definately more comforatable but the Hyper X sounds better IMO. For me though this Cloid Mix is too small , the ear cups are actually slightly smaller then the Sony BT ones I also own. The sound is louder and more ‘boomy’ but the ear cups size is too small and the clamping force too strong. The mic is very clear though. I was disappointed to find out the the Hi Res Audio playback only works in wired mode.
I also own the Sony WH-1000XM3 which also has Hi Res Audio playback and they work in BT mode. I am not suprised the Hyper X does not play Hi Res Audio in BT mode given the price. The Sony is about twice as much.
Due to the fact this headset if not comforatbale for me I will need to return it. Shame
This is a great overall product with excellent build quality, but since I come from a music production background, I can feel there is a lack of punch around 150hz to 200hz when listening to electronic music specifically, but I would assume if you are playing games, it should not effect the experience much at all. The overall character of sound is a little bit towards the warmer side. Other than that, it generally feels balanced with a decent enough sound stage and a present, but not overbearing high end.
The only real contention is around music listening with the punch of bass, but gaming on it thus far has been flawless in my honest opinion. If you are looking for a headset at a fantastic price which you can also use to make calls just by plugging it into your phone, or likewise using it with a PC and or gaming console, then this should be the headset for you!
I was initially researching for weeks the best headsets on the market and the brand, ‘Astro’ kept appearing, but lots of reviewers were claiming that they were plagued with issues, especially the A50s, and that the A40s minimum needed a DAC to make it worthwhile. So in the end, I vouched for these and I have not regretted it since. I would highly recommend!
Being a hybrid headset you might assume ‘jack of all trades, master of none’. You would be very mistaken to assume that, the audio performance in particular is stellar, and perfectly suited for gaming, movies and music. There is no obvious weakness.
I just need to gush about the Hyper X Cloud Mix because it feels like a long time coming: why didn’t I try Hyper X sooner? Onto the specifics, comfort and build is excellent across the board. Extremely lightweight (265g with mic attached) and I can’t say I agree with the criticisms over clamping force being excessive. With plush ear cushions, I can’t see how even larger heads would have any issues.
Now onto the audio, which is where this headset truly shines. Whether via Bluetooth – which is almost indistinguishable from being hard wired – or connected to your controller the audio is outstanding. The bass performance just puts a smile on your face, it’s a really fun sound, with no distortion or background hiss (take note Steelseries!). The audio is very robust and rock solid. And man does it get loud, even via Bluetooth, though PS4 is the exception. This is an issue with all headsets on PS4 and remains an annoyance. On Xbox, fill your boots with the highest volumes and added immersion that entails. Hyper X have ‘hyped up’ (sorry) the dual chamber feature which separates the lows and highs. It’s certainly no gimmick, there is notably far more separation than I’m used to, with no muddy sounds caused by conflicting audio.
I use the Bluetooth through my phone and TV – so I can still play video games and watch movies wirelessly. As I said, there is no notable degradation in sound. I use wired when I want to use Dolby Atmos on Xbox, or if I need to chat. But it functions very well as a wireless headset for the most part. I could go on and on about how great this headset is, but I genuinely must get back to using it. If you haven’t tried Hyper X before, prepare to be surprised. If you have, chances are you don’t need to read this review!
Thie Cloud MIX offers both wired and Bluetooth capability. I have tended to use the Bluetooth because there is barely a noticeable difference when using the supported AptX codec and the latency is negligible for gaming or other similar uses. However, using cables doesn’t require battery and offers hi-res audio, which is a potential plus. On the other hand, I don’t particularly notice the difference in sound quality and either approach doesn’t approach the same broad soundstage and precision I get from my monitor headphones. The sound, though, is still pleasing and chunky, with robust if slightly mellow bass and clear mids/highs.
The built-in michrophone works very well indoors, with a small amount of echo. There is a boom mic which only works when the headset plugged in as far as I can tell. This mic is crystal clear so if you need to have absolutely no doubt that you are being understood, this is your best option. The built-in mic is fine for my purposes.
All-iniall, this means I now have a wireless headset that is comfortable, light, with excellent audio quality, low latency and nearly a full day of battery life. It’s good to have the option of plugging it in, although the audiophile advantage seems limited; I would suggest the biggest advantage would be the mic.
The headphones can be connected to devices via Bluetooth – which for me was simple and problem free to both Samsung phone and Huawei tablet – or by 3.5mm jack. Sound quality is excellent for both games and music playback with decent bass that doesn’t take away from top-end frequencies. The audio out via the microphone was great (tested via online Xbox One gaming).
The big selling point to me on this head set is the comfort – the headphones fit to the head such that only the earpads make contact around the ear and the flat speaker does not press up against the ear itself. The headband is highly adjustable with decent padding.
Overall, very comfortable headset with excellent audio in and out.
