![]() IDG / Hayden Dingmanīut the abstention seems more conspicuous when HyperX leaves the budget-hardware realm. This problem isn’t specific to the Cloud Flight-it’s across all the company’s headsets, and has even been touted by HyperX as a feature in the past. That means no easy way to adjust EQ settings, no way to disable the LED lighting for good, no way to monitor battery life, no official way to tweak the microphone. You’d better love the default settings though, because HyperX continues to stick to its no-software roots. The result is a good balance between music and games/film, clean and precise for the former, but still relatively intense and impactful for the latter. Out of the box you get a very balanced sound, with what sounds like a slight bass bump and maybe a bump in the upper-mids. Better than most of the competition for sure-I’d rank the Cloud Flight above SteelSeries’s Arctis 7 and Corsair’s Void Pro for instance. The sound stage is a bit narrower than I’m used to from HyperX, but there’s a lot of left-right play regardless. It’s impressive.Īudio fidelity doesn’t quite match HyperX’s high-water mark, the Cloud Alpha, but it’s still pretty great. ![]() Everything outside the headset is muffled, and anything more than two feet away might as well not exist even with my own music or games set to only moderate volumes. We’ve reviewed other closed-back designs, which always entail a certain amount of passive noise isolation, but the Cloud Flight is fantastic. It’s the feature I’ve noticed most-in airports, in hotels, in restaurants, on planes, and even in my own apartment. That’s not where I’d usually start a discussion about a headset’s audio fidelity, but the Cloud Flight has a stunning amount of noise isolation. The Cloud Flight is great for travel, too. I took the Cloud Flight on a weekend trip and didn’t have to charge it the entire time. Double-tapping the power button will disable the LEDs, which then lets you reach up to 30 hours of battery life. Turning them off might be the smarter solution anyway. Hope you’re happy with red though, since these aren’t RGB LEDs. Pretty wild, that it took until 2018 for HyperX to reach this point. An LED indicator on the mic will indicate your mic’s mute status, and the earcup lighting can be used to check charging status at a glance.The Cloud Flight is also the first HyperX headset to feature LEDs. This wireless headset also features mic monitoring, so you’ll know how loud you’re speaking in voice chat. You can also adjust the overall volume, mute the mic, and shut the power off with the easy-to-use earcup controls. The built-in headset chat mixer lets you adjust the balance of chat and game audio without having to dig into any system menus. When you’re ready to take a break, the 90° rotating earcups rest comfortably around your neck. The dynamic drivers produce crystal-clear highs, mids, and lows to keep you immersed in your gaming. It features pliable leatherette and high-quality memory foam for signature comfort and tough, adjustable steel sliders for durability. You’ll keep your set up clean and free yourself from cords, but you won’t have to fear missing out on important audio with the reliable 2.4GHz wireless connection. The HyperX CloudX Flight™ is an official Xbox licensed headset that provides wireless freedom for up to 30 hours.
