HyperX Cloud Mix review: specs and price
If you can’t decide between purchasing a wired gaming headset or a pair of Bluetooth headphones, the HyperX Cloud Mix is a great compromise that can serve both needs. When using it in wired mode, you can experience hi-res audio at 10Hz–40kHz, putting it among the best headsets on the market in terms of frequency range. Plus, if you’re the kind of person who likes to settle in for a long gaming session, you’ll be pleased to know that the Cloud Mix features memory foam padding.
The Cloud Mix certainly has a “gamer” design, but if that’s your style, you can easily remove the Discord-certified boom mic and switch to Bluetooth mode to use them as a regular pair of headphones on the go. Battery life is solid in this regard, lasting around 20 hours on a full charge. They also support Qualcomm’s aptX Low Latency Bluetooth codec, making them ideal for mobile gaming without audio lag.

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
has an over-the-ear form
✔HyperX Cloud Mix
Comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This model is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. It offers potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.

can be folded
✖HyperX Cloud Mix
Foldable devices are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
has an earbud form
✖HyperX Cloud Mix
The earbud form is ultracompact and lightweight, with little or no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. For some people it is more comfortable than in-ear form.
has an in-ear form
✖HyperX Cloud Mix

This device comfortably rests on top of your outer ears. As it doesn't block out everything from the outside world, it's preferred in places like office environments and recommended for outdoor activities.
Sound quality
lowest frequency
10Hz
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
highest frequency
40000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
has active noise cancellation (noise control)
✖HyperX Cloud Mix
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
driver unit size
40mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
sound pressure level
100dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
impedance
40 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
has a neodymium magnet
✔HyperX Cloud Mix
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
has passive noise reduction
✖HyperX Cloud Mix
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
A speaker driver is an individual transducer that converts electrical energy to sound waves. More drivers may result in better sound quality.
Microphone

The battery life and everything is really good the only part that I find a bit annoying about it is that the ear cups don’t lay flat. It feels a bit like the headset is choking me whenever I put it around my neck even with it fully extended.
