Manufacturer: HyperX
The HyperX Cloud Mix offers up gaming credentials and Bluetooth capability, but it comes at a high price. And, the aim to fit two niches keeps it from excelling.
Clean sound; Quality construction; AptX support
A tad tight; Like paying for two headsets
Gaming accessories come in all shapes and sizes, including headsets, pro controllers, charging docks, and more. They aren't necessary, but they typically enhance and improve the gaming experience. Personally, headsets are my favorite type of gaming accessory, especially for online multiplayer games.
Crisp; clean sound; Wired or Bluetooth connections available; Durable frame and cushioned ear-cups
Can feel too snug at times
The HyperX Cloud Mix is a weird experiment, and one I don't think is entirely successful. It's expensive, the logo is obnoxious, and splitting the difference between wired gaming headset and mobile Bluetooth means HyperX doesn't really nail either market.
HyperX has hit a home run with the HyperX Cloud Mix headset. The headset is comfortable, well-designed, and sounds great, making it an excellent option for gamers that want a headset they can use in daily life too. There is a problem though - and that's price.

At $199.99 it's one of the more expensive headsets in the HyperX lineup, but half the cost of the Audeze Mobius. That makes its versatility impressive, and combined with its audio quality, it earns our Editors' Choice. A Familiar Design The Cloud Mix looks and feels very similar to the HyperX Cloud Alpha, only in all black and with the option to go wireless. It features smooth, understated, oval black earcups with rubberized sides and prominent HyperX logos on the backs. The logos are light gray, and the Y-shaped metal arms that connect the cups to the headband...
The versatile Kingston HyperX Cloud Mix works very well as both a wired gaming headset and a pair of Bluetooth headphones.
Excellent audio quality; Very clear boom mic; Solid, comfortable design
