Customer Ratings & Reviews

We like to play games together as a family, but no matter what adjustable headset we got, my daughter would constantly have to readjust. We got her this mini for her birthday, and it’s been perfect! The microphone quality is great as well. (Size 1 soccer ball for size reference)

I brought them for my son and he loves them said the sound is great

My 9 year old son enjoys playing some multiplayer games with his friends. In the past, he used my headphones which were just a little too big for him (but they worked). This headset is a reasonably priced one that is the perfect size for him, with lots of versatility. It’s designed to protect young kids’ ears, with a volume restriction (big plus, as I’ve known my son to jack the volume up in headsets). The only minor downside is no USB transmitter, which would have been helpful for connecting to Playstation and PC a bit easier. Of course, you can still use it via 3.5 mm connector. I, and my son, like the design of the headset. It’s plenty light, and the ear cups swivel so you can lay it flat. The microphone can twist out of the way when not in use or when you want to mute your voice chat. As a parent who knows kids can be rough with their devices/toys, etc., I have some concerns about how long it will last before a piece of plastic might break, but that’s all kid dependent. My son takes pride in his headphones and takes great care of them. But, this isn’t unlike any problem you might run into if kids treat things without the proper care, so I can’t knock it. It also probably helps keep the price down. The headband has a nice soft pad that my son tells me is comfortable (it’s too small for my big head). The ear cups are plenty plush and feel similar to the standard (i.e. non-premium) headset. In short, my son reports that they are extremely comfortable. The mic is smartly designed in so much as it’s not too long and can “flip” out of the way. The boom is flexible which allows you to move it closer/further away from the mouth and I think helps with durability (a hard, stiff, microphone might be more prone to break off). Smart design choice in my mind. While I will (sadly) admit that I don’t always think about loud volumes in my son’s ears, I certainly appreciate that HyperX has thought of it and built it into this headset. The volume level stays below 85dB which ensures that kids aren’t listening to too high of volume for a lengthy time. In terms of set up, it’s like any Bluetooth headset that we’ve all grown accustomed to. It pairs quickly and easily by holding the power button to put it in pairing mode. We’ve had no issues connecting it to a PC with Bluetooth, a phone, and Kindle laptop. He’s plugged it into the PS5 controller and it works just fine, but I wish it came with either a 3.5 mm cable (it doesn’t) or a USB dongle. I’m assuming it’s to keep the price down, but honestly my son just plays single player games on PS5 so it hasn’t been an issue for us. It’s really only a minor complaint. My son, who is no audiophile, really enjoys the sound quality. He tells me everything sounds good and offers no complaints when playing games, watching his tablet, or otherwise talking to his friends. In terms of comfort and fit, again, my son says they’re extremely comfortable. Finally, battery life. It’s rated for 25 hours which is plenty for several listening sessions over a number of days. My son, being who he is, charges it almost daily so we’ve never tested the full battery capacity, but even if it gets close to its rated hours, I’m satisfied. Importantly, the battery made it over a long drive to see family - there and back - without needing to be charged. All in all, I think this is a good value proposition. It’s a quality headset with a sharp, but not too over the top design, that’s comfortable for young kids. The limit on volume is a big plus, and while I would consider purchasing it just for my son to use during long road trips, I really like the versatility of what you can use it with (i.e. PS5, Switch, PC, tablets, phones, etc.). One kids headset to rule them all.

I like it it feels hard and not relaxing and I don’t understand it

I've tested many sets of headphones/earbuds.  The criteria for these are quite different. This set it going to my 7 year old grandson.  He's a huge Minecrafter player.  His other grandparents live about 2 hours from their home (we call it 'the farm'). I've taken the trip with him and his brother to 'the farm', while they both play on their tablets almost the entire trip.  The most frequent words spoken by his parents the entire trip are: "Please turn that down".  So not only am I getting these for my grandson, I'm getting them for his parents.  These headphones are downsized for kid size heads. Their is really no way to make a set of headphones that fit kids and adults.  First for kids they need to be lighter and cover smaller ears. BTW it's not a good idea to get kids regular earbuds, most think earbuds are not appropriate until age 10-12, and only if they limit the dB output to 85dB or below.  The same is true for headphones, but headphones can't be inserted too deeply in the ear.  Most pediatricians recommend headphones over earbuds for younger kids. These headphones weigh about 1/2 what my over the ear headphones weigh; they weigh only 4.6oz. They come with a dropdown microphone that is turned off when raised.  The boom of the mic is bendable (not on a solid plastic boom).  And most important they can be used either wired or wireless (BlueTooth).  The headphones will last 25 hours on a single charge. They come with removable wired cable and a USB-A to USB-C charging cable.  To test them I paired them with my iPhone.  I listened to some Boston. It sounded pretty rich.  Bass was subtle and if it turned it all the way up it never got let loud (limited to 85dB), which works.  But they sound nice at that level, bass is largely missing but mids and highs sound good.  The headphones only have two buttons.  On/Off and BT mode/pause.  Pairing worked easily. Hitting the BT button once paired paused and restarted playing music. Time passed, and my grandson opened his headphone package. And without any assistance/instructions paired the headphones with his iPad and resumed his Minecrafters game. After about 30 seconds I got two thumbs up and a high five.  And the little joker quickly added I bet mom and dad like them too.  He used them for about an hour before breakfast.  He thanked me again and said he really likes them.  He wanted to know how often they need to be recharged (kids pick up this tech stuff so quickly).  Now that I have his approval I think I'm going to get his little brother a pair of his own for Christmas, but I'll get the white ones for him.  I feel like this was a total success.

This headset was exactly what I was looking for my son. We had had problems previously with other bigger bulkier headsets so we were looking for a smaller lightweight headset, one preferably that didn't break the bank. The Hyper-X Cloud mini satisfied all the requirements, and I'm actually surprised at how much he likes it. He has all the fancy accessories for his computer, like keyboard, mouse and speakers and he was perfectly fine with these. Build quality, from a normal sized persons perspective might seem a little fragile, and they may be. The headset is almost entirely plastic, and what feels like thin plastic. This I believe is to make it more lighter weight and it works. This is an extremely light headset. The ear muffs feel a little on the cheap side, but my son says they are really comfortable. I couldn't fit it on my head, so I don't have an opinion. The head cushion at the top is comfortable, but where my son has any criticism is its not wide enough, so if its settled on his head, the plastic to the left or right of the cushion gets uncomfortable after a while. The mic is a little small, but it fits a child just fine. He often uses the mute functionality of it by pushing the boom up to talk to me or his mother when we walk in the room. The headset doesn't get very loud which is a blessing because I don't want my son cranking the sound up and ruining his hearing. He thinks its plenty loud enough which is good. He also says the sound quality is good. Hes only 9, so we probably have different opinions on sound quality, but then again, hes happy with them. They connect wireless with the PC via bluetooth which I found to be the only real drawback of these. I don't like using BT with PC due to latency issues. But, somehow, these have no noticable audio latency when being used via BT which was surprising. Hes able to use them just fine watching his shows or playing his games and states there isn't a lagging audio problem. That said, I do wish they had 2.4 wireless capability. The battery life on them is good. Even on all day play sessions with his friends, the battery doesn't die. He plugs them in when hes done for the day, and puts them back on in the morning. Hes never had the headset die or get low in a single days use. All in all, I'd say these are a great affordable option for kids. Good quality and affordable.

I have 4 gamers in my house with the youngest one having just turned 9. They play on the XBOX or on their gaming laptops so when there are 4 different devices gaming the sounds are mind numbing. I got these so the youngest has her one pair of gaming headphones and so far she has been happy. They looked exactly as pictured and were easy to connect via Bluetooth to her gaming laptop. It also came with a 3.5mm cable to plug into her tablet or could be used with a PC or Laptop if preferred instead of Bluetooth. The audio is clear and she has enjoyed using them to play Roblox or watch Your Tube. She has worn them for multiple hours at a time without any complaints and the battery life so far has been impressive. They charged quickly the one time I have had to charge them and so far the only complaint my daughter has had is how short the microphone is. Pros - Good battery life and charges quickly - Comfortable for long hours of gaming - Good size and fit for smaller kids who like to game - Limited volume so they aren't listening too loudly Cons - Smaller than I expected even for a kids pair of headphones - Microphone is shorter than expected Overall for my 9 year old they have worked well for her to game on her laptop without my wife or I having to listen to her games or You Tube videos.

Overall, these HyperX Cloud Mini Wireless Gaming Headphones are an excellent option for my 9 year old son. He uses these for gaming primarily on his Switch and iPad. They come nicely packaged with everything needed to use them. Included in the box were the headphones, USB-A to USB-C charging cable, 3.5mm headset cable (which is a good length for what we need), a fun sticker sheet, and instructions. The headphones came partially charged but we did plug them in to give them a full charge. The quality of these headphones seems very nice. Though they are mainly plastic, they are sturdy and very light weight. The ear cushions are soft and comfortable and there is a nice cushion across the headband. My son has worn these for several hours at a time and does not complain of fatigue or them being too hot around his ears. There is a “Tuck-away” Boom Mic that when it is in the up position is muted and when it’s in the down position, is on. There is a power button and a Bluetooth sync button that are easily identifiable and have a solid click when pressed in addition to an audio beep when pressed. It was very easy to connect these to our devices via the Bluetooth connection. Sound quality is nice and clear. My son says he feels like he’s in the game and can hear sounds clearly all around. When in a game chat, the voices are clear but don’t drown out the game sounds. The mic picks up his voice clearly for his friends to hear what he is saying. If using on a Switch it does require the headphone jack if you want to talk over the boom mic, though. I really like that these have a volume limit of 85dB so as not to have a bad impact on his long-term hearing. Batter life on these headphones is very nice. They claim to have a 25-hour battery life and I feel that this is fairly close to what he got out of them on a single full charge. However, if you do happen to run out of battery, you can use the supplied 3.5mm headphone jack to connect and still use them for full functionality. I think these are a really nice option for a younger gamer. The price is right so if something does happen to them, I’m not out of an expensive pair of headphones. There really isn’t anything I don’t like about these for my 9 year old gamer son.

I have an 8 year old who enjoys gaming on various devices such as the Nintendo Switch, and an iPad in particular. Sometimes the sound coming from her devices can be very distracting so a set of earphones gives me the peace I need while giving her the sound to go with the screen based entertainment. These headphones are much smaller than normal ones since they are sized for youth usage, and are limited to no more than 85db to prevent hearing damage which I really appreciate. They are very simple with only a power button and a “function button” for controlling certain Bluetooth functions depending on the connected device. They swivel and the band extends an inch on either side for size adjustments. They also have a built in microphone that flips up to mute, and the only other connection points are the 3.5mm jack on the bottom and a USB-C charging port on the upper side of one of the ear cups which hides it while the headphones are in use. This port location prevents the headphones from being charged while being used which is a peculiar decision by Hyper X in my opinion. Having a child be responsible enough to plug in and charge them regularly is hit or miss. This means that if they die because they weren’t plugged in, they’re useless until they’re recharged again which can create some distress. Battery life is quite solid though at about 25 hours. Other than the charging aspect, my daughter really likes the way they feel and sound, and they’re easy to use and connect to her devices without any fuss. If you have a young gamer in your life that you’d like to give a safe comfortable option for sound and chat the HyperX Cloud Mini is a great choice.

The hyper X mini is the perfect headset for children or smaller people. There are not very many headsets on the market that are specifically created for gaming and children. When you unbox you get the headset, a USB charging cable, 3.5mm optional wired connection, and some Hyper X stickers. This headset uses USB-C charging which is convenient because it can use the same charger as just about other peripherals. They are easy to connect via Bluetooth and are rated at 25 hours of battery life. The best part about these headphones are the compatibility. They can connect to any game system, phone, tablet, or computer. My son is always asking to use my headset but they do not fit well on his head, the Hyper X mini are the perfect size for him. My son is 6 years old and on the smaller side. These are the perfect headset for anyone with a small head. They are adjustable and can easily fit a small kid up to a teenager. They are made from lightweight and comfortable materials. For the price these are a great headset for a kid who loves gaming. The boom microphone is a great added feature that can be flipped up to mute. That was one of my sons favorite features when we were on FaceTime…These are the perfect gift for the young gamer.

My son needed a pair of gaming headphones after his current headset broke. As he is getting older, I was looking around for a 2 in 1 and I have found that with the Hyper X Cloud Mini. This review is mostly from the perspective of my eleven-year-old son just so that you who is reading my review will understand. My son spends his time switching between electronic devices. He is usually on his Chromebook, cellular phone or his X-box. These headphones are “amazing” as he calls them because they have Bluetooth, and a wired connection so it can be used with all his devices even if the battery runs out. Pairing his Chromebook & Cellphone was a breeze and using the included 3.5mm cable made it easy to use when he is playing his games, He has charged it twice since he has had as most of the time he is wired. He likes the fact that the microphone can be muted simply by tucking away, he plays Roblox and other games on his X-box and he wears them nearly 24/7 because he will listen to music when his downtime is on for gaming. For the next year or two these should fit him just fine until it is time to get him a bigger pair, but these are perfect kid gamers who do not want a simple wired headset this is a little more than that in my son’s eyes. Got him this for his birthday and he can’t stop going on about how much he loves them. Here is what I like about them as a parent, they are Bluetooth and a regular pair of headphones. I personally am familiar with the brand and the fact that Hyper X makes headsets that’s kid sized and kid friendly is a plus in my book and it is practically universal. It will not break the bank either so you can spend more on games or Robux or whatever your child is into.

We bought these headphones for my 9 yr old son so he could chat with his cousins and friends on his game. We’ve had them for over a month now and they work great. They fit perfectly and the sound quality is good too. They are lightweight due to the material they are made out of but my son says they are more comfortable than the ones he had previously.

[Employee of bestbuy] The HyperX Cloud Mini Wired Headset is a great little pickup, especially if you’re looking for something reliable, comfortable, and kid-friendly without spending a fortune. I bought it for my niece to use for school, and it ended up being a perfect fit for her needs. It’s lightweight and easy for her to wear during long virtual classes or homework sessions, and the smaller size works well for younger users without feeling flimsy or “toy-like.” HyperX is known for comfort, even in their budget models, and the Cloud Mini follows that trend. The ear cushions are soft, the headband has a nice amount of padding, and the overall fit is secure without squeezing too tightly. For kids, that comfort matters—especially when they’re wearing a headset for an hour or more at a time. The sound quality is surprisingly good too. Voices come through clearly, which is important for school lectures and video calls, and there’s enough richness in the audio that she can also use it for music or games after school. The microphone does its job well—it picks up her voice clearly without a lot of background noise, so teachers and classmates can hear her without issues. It’s also detachable, which is a nice bonus for times when she doesn’t need it. I also appreciate how simple it is to use. It plugs into basically anything—PC, PS5, Xbox, tablets—so there’s no complicated setup or pairing. Just plug and go. That simplicity makes it ideal for kids who don’t want to fuss with settings. Overall, the HyperX Cloud Mini is a dependable, comfortable headset that’s perfect for schoolwork, calls, and everyday use. It’s well-built, easy to use, and great for younger users. I’m really happy with it, and my niece loves it too.

I got this as a gift for one my nephews thinking that it would work with the PS5. It sounds really good, works wirelessly with the Switch and on tablets and PC, but at the moment, there is no wireless support from PS5 but that's a Sony problem.

Excellent purchase .. light weight good sound and good mic..

These earbuds were great when I’m playing Fortnite with my grandson. The audio is clear and superb on them. They were super easy to connect with my gaming system.

nice product, but they are only wireless for Bluetooth devices. For xbox you still have to plug it into your remote control. I bought it under the impression that it was wireless in general. Also, smaller than they look on photo.

Good sound quality. Great for gaming experience and listening to music. Seems durable (not cheaply made)

Size is perfect for little kids fits comfortable and sound is great.

this fits my son really well! it sounds great! he is 7.
