But when Naomi and I started touring as a duo in the mid-‘90s, traveling with an acoustic guitar and an Indian harmonium, we hit resistance as soon as we unpacked. When we showed up at clubs, no one ever seemed confused by our choice of instruments, just the way we played them. The headset also has no trouble with the mix of environmental audio, music, and battle noises that you find in stereo games like Final Fantasy XIV and Dauntless on PlayStation 4.My first band, Galaxie 500, may have had something of its own take on rock music, but in the late 1980s our lineup was standard for the day: guitar, bass, drums. The built-in 7.1 virtual surround sound works as well as any other version of the feature, ably reproducing directional audio in games like Apex Legends and Overwatch on PC. Nonetheless, the headset handles the audio demands of different kinds of games very well. That’s not much of a problem for newer platforms like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, which support console-side surround sound, but you might be stuck trying to stretch a cord across your living room on PlayStation 4.
This headset works with pretty much every gaming platform out there, from the PC, to the PlayStation 5, to the Xbox One, and beyond, but only consoles that support USB audio can use the included 7.1 surround sound feature.
This headset will work anywhere a 3.5mm connection is supported.įor the comfort reasons I mentioned earlier, the HyperX Cloud Revolver + 7.1 isn’t a great gaming headset for long periods of time, but it can get the job done in short bursts. When I use this headset for even an hour it starts to put pressure on the point where my jaw connects to my head, and it’s not fun. Depending on the shape of your head, that could mean the top of your ears or the bottom (it’s the bottom for me), but regardless, this kind of weight can get uncomfortable fast. Ultimately the headset’s weight rests on its other primary point of contact with your head: your ears. This is where the problem lies with the HyperX Cloud Revolver + 7.1-its suspension band is far too loose, which means the band doesn’t really suspend anything, leaving the clamping force of the frame to do all of the work. The function of a suspension band is in the name: it suspends the headset above your head, keeping the weight off and reducing strain. Suspension headbands have become pretty common in the gaming headset space-SteelSeries uses them in most Arctis headsets, and even Logitech has started releasing gaming headsets with them. See how the headband presses right up against the frame? That means it’s not suspending much of anything.
