According to our gaming headset expert
Connect the HyperX Cloud Revolver S to your PS4 console or your PC via USB and you have 7.1 surround sound without any additional software. The integrated sound card provides virtual surround sound with which you can hear exactly from which angle the action is coming at you. You can do this for several hours in a row, because the sturdy but lightweight metal frame doesn't press on your head. Your ears are pampered by the faux-leather pillow filled with memory foam, so that the headset forms to your head. The noise canceling microphone means people can hear you without any background noise. It can also be removed to use as regular headphones on the go.

Surround The 'HyperX Cloud Revolver S' is a good successor to the original 'Cloud Revolver', from the Kingston brand. And as logical as it may be, the 'S' stands for Surround Sound. And I can assure you, the experience is great. You will hear a very noticeable difference between the normal Stereo sound and the new 360-degree function. You can easily determine while playing games whether your opponent is above, below, in front, behind or next to you. The bass in this headset is deep enough and the color of the sound is very wide. A downside to the Surround technology in this headset is that it is not located in the headset itself, but in a separate intermediate piece with an extension wire that is very practical when you game on a PC, because this adapter has to be connected to a USB port, which you can easily find there. On the other hand, if you want to play on your Playstation or XBOX with Surround, you have to connect the headset to the adapter and it has to be in one of the console ports, so you can't just plug your headphones into the controller like you can with several others. You can also do it with this one, but then you won't have the Surround experience and I recommend that you buy another headset.
design In terms of design, these headphones are magnificent. The design is very simple and does not require much attention. The rubber finish also certainly gives a very durable feel when you see the headset.
Comfort In terms of wearing comfort, this headset is a disappointment. Although the ear cushions are super soft and certainly deep enough, and the headphones fit me perfectly, that fact is not for everyone. This headset is not adjustable, so it certainly does not fit on every head. So be sure to be careful when unpacking so that you can return it in the same packaging, if it didn't fit.
Microphone The quality of this microphone is one of the biggest advantages: it sounds incredibly sharp and clear, and it is also noise-cancelling, which means that it filters out softer sound so that music in the background cannot be heard by your teammates. It's also detachable in case you don't use it to talk to.
In brief This headset certainly excels in Surround, but this is only practical on PC, so you have to wire it to consoles and it is not possible on smartphones and tablets. You can certainly not be pessimistic when it comes to design, but you only have comfort if you have the right head. The microphone is certainly good and detachable.
I have often used this headset to play Fortnite, GTA V, Overwatch and Rocket League and there is nothing to complain about.

Bought this product with 2nd chance. No scratches and everything works perfectly. On the ps4 just plug in the USB connection and the headset works. Sound is great, especially compared to my previous headsets. This also applies to wearing comfort. Because of the special foam in the headband and ear cushions, you won't even feel that you're still wearing the headset after a long game session. All in all, a big 10, definitely recommended for those looking for a good quality headset!
