Wow. The SoloCast microphone is what I've been looking for for like 4 years. seriously. I have lost count of how many headsets I have tried (ones ranging to almost $200) and I've always come to the same problem "you're too quiet". while yes, I know I am 80% of the problem (I have a quiet voice) I have kept hope that I would eventually find a mic where people could actually here me. This is it. I've found it. The only reason I got the mic with the headphones was because it was on sale for the same price as if I had just gotten the mic so I thought, "why not". I don't feel like I can give a super accurate review for the headphones. I've tried like 3 HyperX headsets at different times (so I never realized they all had the common issue I speak about below, and I have realized just now) and I've never had great success with them. HOWEVER, The night of writing this review, I tried connecting just regular headphones in, and I had the same audio issues that I have experienced with this Cloud Core headset and the other HyperX sets. I am ALSO now realizing they all use the Realtek audio. I have a feeling that's the issue, and not the headset itself. The issue is an electric buzz sound after anything slightly louder then normal comes through. So it happens while someone is talking in discord or in music where the singers voice goes a pitch higher. other than that buzz, they do have a very clear sound and are very noise canceling, and I feel that they're definitely worth a try for some. Realtek is kinda buggy, but it's not the headset's fault. Like I said, I only really bought this for the mic, so I'm leaving my overall rating at 5 stars because, seriously, I'm so incredibly happy with the mic. If I was reviewing the headset, I'd probably give it a 3 unfortunately. maybe HyperX could add in their own audio thingy (idk what it's called) instead of having it use Realtek, then I think this headset would be amazing. Overall, incredibly happy. I will gift the headset to someone who isn't having Realtek issues :)

I bought this bundle for the headphones mainly but this bundle was cheaper than the headphones alone. I already had a razer siren microphone so I took some pictures and compared the sound. The siren’s main issue is it is extremely quiet but after adjusting settings it works fine. The Hyperx Solocast is a bit louder but picks up way more background noise. The headsets is solid but the description is not what is exactly in the box. The description clearly states the cloud core has a 7.1 with a box to control and enable the 7.1 sound. But it is nothing more than the 3.0 cable to the speaker/mic cable. I decided to return these and opted for a wireless pair.
