How did we like it?
The HyperX CloudX Pro Wired Gaming Headset was a very nice, quality headset. The sound on the mic was good as well as the overall sound coming through the headphones. The headset was comfortable on my head and didn’t require much adjustment. I like the braided cables as well as the option to take the mic off and on when needed. The carrying case is great for storage and travel. Overall, I didn’t find much wrong with this headset including the price which is just under $100. Overall, to get a nice gaming headset for that price is a bonus in itself but it is even better when the headset does its job well.
You can purchase this headset anywhere that sells electronic accessories such as Best Buy, Amazon, NewEgg.com and other places for around $99.00.
