Sound Quality
Customers have a generally positive opinion on the sound quality of the Kingston HyperX Cloud Core Gaming Headset, with some mentioning that the audio is above average to amazing, crisp and powerful in both low and high ends, and suitable for gaming and music listening. However, a small group of customers mentioned that the sound quality requires a USB amp for optimal performance and some have experienced issues with static or tangled cords.
Mic Functionality
Customers generally have positive feedback regarding the microphone functionality of the Kingston HyperX Cloud Core Gaming Headset, with some mentioning clear sound quality and ease of use without a mic input cable splitter. However, a few customers have reported issues with the mic being quiet or not working at all, requiring contact with customer service for resolution.

Highlights
Quality
Very solid sound quality with amazing comfort - i wear these 6, 8 hours a day and don't feel a thing.
Mic quality is plenty clear and they’re quite comfortable to wear.
These have strong metal parts in the areas most susceptible to wear and accidental damage.
Basically all you lose out with these headphones is less cables and no carrying bag.
Price
Highly recommend, especially if you can get them on a $50 sale like i did.
I’d definitely recommend purchasing these if you’re in the market for a reasonably priced gaming headset.
I got these for 35 instead of the typical 70 dollars.
That being said, i got these on sale at amazon and they do a great job for gaming.
Competitiveness
Exactly the same pair of headphones as the hyper x cloud with a different connector, there are less accessories.
The cloud core is probably the best performing headset in this price class, at least that i have tested and used.
