After the spin-off from Kingston, HyperX has only been releasing gaming hardware for a few years, expanding its lineup throughout all kinds of gaming peripherals, from keyboards to headphones and mice. The Cloud Revolver S, announced at CES 2017, are the biggest, baddest headphones in HyperX's range of offerings, attaining flagship status.
HyperX is aiming for comfort first and sound second, driving 50mm drivers and plug-and-play Dolby 7.1-channel surround sound through a setup with memory foam cups and a wider steel headband.
The Cloud Revolver S runs off a single USB port, which means it won't need an external audio box - though that may mean your expensive sound cards will possibly go to waste through such a connection. HyperX is boasting that this is the first time a gaming headset has plug-and-play surround sound. What that means for sound quality remains to be seen (and a 7.1 sound setup inside simple headphones hits the limits of physics pretty early), but if it tops out the Cloud Range of headsets in quality as well as price, HyperX is likely to win a few more fans. The Cloud Revolver S will be available in March 2017 for about $150.
