Whats Included

HyperX Cloud Orbit S
Carrying bag, detachable microphone

Q: Does the headset lose a lot of functionality if using just the 3.5 mm headphone jack? I am trying to find the best headphones I can, for the quest 2 and I really like the 3D audio and surround sound of this headset.

A: The headphone still has the 3d audio functionality when plugged into 3.5mm. The controls are on the headphones themselves, no software needed. The headphones have a battery to help power the drivers so you will have to plug the headphones into a usb port from time to time to charge them though.

Q: I currently use the Hyper X Cloud II headset and was wondering what the difference in fit is as I was blessed with a Stewie-like head. I have seen reviews that the top band becomes uncomfortable after 3-4 hours. Looking for some user feedback b4 buying.

A: I don't have a Stewie head but the Headphone band is comfortable enough. I've had it on for at least 3 hours and it didn't really bother me. You can always stretch out the band, put it over a pillow or couch cushions for a day or two and it will stretch.

Q: Can you get them in blue? I found a review on them where they had a different colour scheme, just wanting to know if they’ll ever be available, since this headset isn’t as popular as some of their other headsets

A: I believe those may be the Audizee Mobius headphones that you saw. They're wireless and bluetooth but go for 400. I've only seen these in black. They're the same in every way besides the bluetooth and wireless capabilities (hence the price difference)

Q: When I use this on a PS4, there is a buzz sound heard, especially with other players in game chat. It sounds like a lawnmower, or a car engine. Anyone else notice this? Can’t decide if I want to return or replace this set- sound quality is amazing!

A: You need to get a ground loop noise isolator to cut out the white noise, they are on Amazon for about $10

Q: Do the headsets have a mic monitoring function? specifically when used on PC.

A: undefined

Q: Dose this have a very good microphone I need a very good microphone is this the best of the best for being so expensive?

A: I haven't used the microphone yet but from numerous reviews they all say the microphone is "meh". For these headphones it's all about the drivers and the 3d positional audio.

Q: Can these be used as wireless as well or are they just wired?

A: They are wired only

Q: Do they work with xbox

A: Absolutely

Great sound 3D kinda Gimiky
Best sounding Gaming Headset I've tried and I recently returned the Steelseries Artic Pro's because of a fitting issue. Great concept with the motion detecting 3D sound sound and will work if you have 49" widescreen monitor or console gaming on a 75" inch TV but for my set which is a 27" high refresh rate monitor there is not enough head motion to activate the feature. I did try this with my HTC Vive great for VR shooters. Overall if your ok with paying for premium 100mm drivers and sound its a great buy.

A great sounding set of headset, best for PC.
I did quite a bit of research online before purchasing these. Coming from a Hyper X Revolver (stereo) headset, I was looking for an upgrade in fidelity that would also have some of the features that I like with other gaming headsets. Closed back was a big one for me, which made my search slightly more challenging. Many headphones in this range are open back, and I didn't want much sound getting in or out. These are planar drivers, not cone. I won't go into much detail other than to say these type of drivers produce a cleaner sound than dynamic or moving coil. The downside is they require power. This headset has a battery inside, which means it requires power. I have them connected via usb-c to my pc, but when connecting over analog you will have about 8-10 hours of listening before they need to be charged. You can hear them turn on, but when audio is playing you can't hear it. I'm trying to hear it as I type this with tv on my other screen. I could do without the headset telling me when I've muted, charged, or changed modes, but it's nice to know sometimes. It would be a nice option to turn that off. Microphone sounds good, plenty loud, and a mute switch is right on the headset, no in-line controller which is a plus imo. Mic is also detachable and has independent volume control also on the headset. Most of the buttons and wheel have multiple functions and may take some time to get used to. 7.1 and 3d mode both work well. I still prefer stereo most of the time but it's nice to have options...some games or movies sound really good in surround, but it depends on the source. Head tracking is pretty neat, and would be perfect paired with a vr setup. Looking at a flat screen you don't turn your head enough for them it to be practical...but it certainly works as advertised. Hi-Res audio mode is only available on pc, and is the best sounding mode on the headset. Stereo sounds good still when connected to your phone or game controller. It's definitely heavier than my old set, and fits a bit tighter. It was almost alarming how loose my old set felt after wearing these for the last three weeks. These are comfortable, thick ear and band pads feel nice, but they do clamp. If you are sensitive to pressure, you may find some discomfort. The band is adjustable and the cups turn and swivel. In conclusion, they sound amazing and they were well worth the price for that reason alone. They fit snug, which doesn't bother me but could bother some. This headset will connect to a variety of devices and offer convenient options. I don't really use the software, though like I mentioned before would be a great addition to a VR setup. If you want high quality audio with great features and no additional equipment, it's hard to find a better set. They're not wireless, but I wasn't looking for that.

Best Sounding Gaming Headset With Drawbacks
I have an Arctis Pro Wireless and Pro + GameDac, have had a Razer Nari Ultimate and the newer Astros, Logitech, other HyperX, etc etc. Pretty much if it has been a top tier gaming headset for any platform, I have it or have owned it and weighed these against that competition. These are basically a rebranded Audeze Mobius minus the bluetooth with a HyperX logo. These do not feel like a HyperX product which are normally SUPER comfortable. The sound and especially 3D Audio these provide is better than anything else on the market for a gaming headset. If you want anything better for audio quality than these you would need expensive audiophile headphones that are thousands. Given this, price seems more than fair. Pros -Best Sound Available -Best 3D Audio Surround Available -Best Positional Audio for Competitive FPS Available -Good Build Quality Cons -Hurt my head after an hour -Wish it was wireless -Leather Ear cups not breathable -The S version isn't worth the extra $30 -No equalizer available. Bass is lacking in Music a bit. TLDR; Best in pretty much every gaming headset audio category, however the discomfort in even short gaming sessions caused me to return this. If they ever made a wireless and more comfortable version, it would be the best headset ever.
