Details
Appearance
Compared with other HyperX headsets, the appearance of Cloud Flight has been greatly changed. In addition, due to it is a wireless headset, the battery is needed, but considering the weight control, its shell is made of plastic material, which is also a major reason for the change in visual effects.
Head Beam
The inner side of the head beam is made of high-quality protein leather and memory foam, which is very soft and reduces the pressure on the head.
The telescopic part of the head beam can be rotated to easily adapt to various head shapes, it can also be stretched about 4cm with a strong sense of damping.
Ear Cup
The oval ear cups are in line with the shape of the human ears. Its slightly forward-leaning design can better cover the user’s entire ears.
The ear cups can also be rotated 90 degrees in the vertical direction.
Ear Pads
Memory foam with leatherette ear pads can bring a more comfortable feeling when worn. But it will feel a little stuffy when worn for a long time.
Buttons & Interfaces
All buttons and interfaces of HyperX Cloud Flight are all designed on the ear cups. In addition to the microphone mute button designed on the outer shell of the left ear cup, all the other buttons and interfaces are designed on the bottom of the left and right ear cups.
The microphone interface, micro USB charging port, 3.5mm interface, and on/off button are on the left ear cup.
There is only one volume knob on the bottom of the right ear cup. Users who are used to adjusting the volume with the left hand may need to adapt.
Lighting
The HyperX Cloud Flight wireless gaming headset is designed with 2 red logo lights on the ear cups, you can switch the lighting effects between 3 modes(on, breathing and off) by pressing the power button.
HyperX had not ever designed lighting for its gaming headset before the Cloud Flight. This new lighting design can better remind users of the working status of the headset.
MIC
The detachable noise-canceling microphone can be bent freely, it’s very convenient to use and store. It is also certified by TeamSpeak and compatible with Discord, Skype, Ventrilo, Mumble and RaidCall.
Audio Drivers
HyperX Cloud Flight is equipped with the same 50mm neodymium-magnet drivers as Cloud Alpha, but it does not adopt a dual-cavity design, so the Cloud Flight’s frequency response range is 15Hz-23,000Hz, which is slightly smaller than Cloud Alpha’s 13Hz-27,000Hz, and the impedance is also lower than Alpha.
| Microphone Type | Noise-cancelling |
| Sensitivity | -45dBV (0dB=1V/Pa,1kHz) |
| Frequency Response | 100Hz-7,000 Hz |
Wireless Adapter
HyperX Cloud Flight abandoned the criticized Bluetooth technology and replaced it with a 2.4GHz wireless connection with a maximum connection range of 20 meters. The low latency 2.4GHz technology has larger bandwidth, it can provide better sound quality and reduce power consumption.
Experience
Wearing Experience
The comfort of this headset is excellent, and its rich adjustability allows it to adapt to the various head shape. The wide ear cups have excellent wrapping ability. The light design and its memory foam of ear pads and headband play a good cushioning effect. The head pressure and ear clamping feeling are very small after a long time wearing. Without the shackles of wires, it is more convenient to move when wearing.
The only problem is that the protein leather ear pads will make users feel a little stuffy in summer, but this can be solved by replacing the ear pads with more breathable ones.
Sound Experience
The HyperX Cloud Flight headset did not adopt double cavity dynamic drivers, but its treble and bass performed well, especially for the presentation of instrument sound. When playing epic music, the wide sound field can well render the magnificent momentum. The performance of the human voice is slightly weaker, but it is also within the acceptable range. On the whole, it can fully meet the daily needs of audio and video.
Gaming Experience
I played PUBG to test the gaming performance of this headset. During the game, the sound field is very wide, it can well present the sense of distance of gunfire and vehicle driving sound. When I passed a bombing zone, the explosion sounded low and vigorously.
During the one-hour game, the 2.4G wireless connection is more stable than the Bluetooth transmission, and there is no stall or delay.
Disassemble
The ear pads are well made and fit tightly. However, it is not difficult to remove, and you can easily replace them as you want.
Unscrew 4 screws on the left ear cup, you will see the double-layer PCB and neat wiring.
The application of the AV6302 wireless chipset is very successful, it had been used in many famous gaming headsets, such as Logitech G933, RIG 800HS, Steelseries Arctis 7, etc.
There is a 1500mAh lithium battery made by Everpower technology in the right ear cup.
