Bridging the gap between wired gaming headset and mobile Bluetooth headset, the HyperX Cloud Mix doesn't quite nail either.

Pretty solid audio fidelity when plugged in; Standard HyperX comfort; Charges quickly and lasts for 20 hours on the go

Why would you use it plugged in; On-headset controls only work in Bluetooth mode; As expensive as buying two discrete devices; one wired and one...

One of the best headsets we've tested, whatever system, machine or device you plug it into, you'll get quality sound and a great gaming experience.

+ Incredibly sound quality; + Extremely versatile; + Great design and fit

- Expensive; - No balancer between in-game & party chat volumes

Bass. The final frontier. Well, it seems that way, with many headphones and gaming headsets these days tuned to a very bass-heavy sound that has the potention to reduce the overall realism of the sound while simultaneously making many users quite happy.

REVIEW – If you have kids and you haven't been hiding under a rock, your child has probably been playing one of those "battle royale" type games, such as Fortnite or PUBG. My now 12-year-old son is no different.

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

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.
