HyperX Cloud Revolver Gunmetal Headset Overview

In this section, we take a look at the HyperX Cloud Revolver Gunmetal Gaming Headset, model HX-HSCR-GM. Cloud Revolver Gunmetal is currently selling online for $119.99 (Amazon | NewEgg). Let’s have a brief overview of what the HyperX Cloud Revolver Gunmetal Headset is all about…

Inside the HyperX Cloud Revolver Gunmetal Headset’s box, you will receive a detachable microphone, the headset with it’s attached 1 meter cord, and the in-line remote with it’s 2 meter cord. Also you will receive a brief quick start guide that outlines how to use the headset with a PC, PS4 controller, and XBox One controller (adapter required) as well as different mobile devices.

The HyperX Cloud Revolver Gunmetal utilizes an in-line audio control box that splits the 4-pole connector in to two separate 3.5mm plugs for use with your PC (headphone and microphone). Also featured on the audio control box is a large, smooth sliding microphone mute switch.

The styling of the HyperX Revolver Gunmetal Headset is almost identical to the original revolver headset, with one key difference, there is a rubber grommet between the forks. This rubber grommet helps absorb the vibrations generated by the metal frame. This helps negate the tuning fork effect I experienced during my review of the first Cloud Revolver headset.

Just like the original revolver headset, the gunmetal variant only comes with one set of ear cups. The ear cups feature HyperX’s signature red memory foam and is covered in a soft leatherette.
