For our review, we tested out the PS4 version of the HyperX Cloud headset which had the distinct blue aluminium frame and blue stitching on the headband as well as the distinctive PlayStation symbol above each year cup.
The headset was comfortable to wear thanks to an easy adjustment and the padding on both the ear cups and on the headband.

We connected the cord to our PS4 controller to be able to hear the in-game audio and also to hear and speak to our online teammates.

They are affordably priced it would have been nice to have a case or carry bag to store them in between gaming sessions.
