HyperX Announces Cloud Flight Wireless Gaming Headset

HyperX Cloud Flight – The Wireless Headset We’ve Been Asking For

Ever since HyperX first released their original Cloud gaming headset to rave-reviews and began to follow it up with solid subsequent releases like the value Cloud Stinger, customers and reviewers have wondered when the company would step into the wireless headset arena. Today, HyperX has answered that question and announced the first wireless addition to their award-winning lineup of Cloud headsets, the Cloud Flight. Featuring a clean, aesthetically pleasing design that is similar to the HyperX Cloud Stinger, the HyperX Cloud Flight offers up to 30 hours of battery life from a single charge, which is more battery life than pretty much any other wireless gaming headset on the market.

The HyperX Cloud Flight feature a a circumaural closed-back design with 50mm neodymium drivers and leatherette ear cups. I wasn’t able to confirm if HyperX is implementing a similar dual chamber driver design to the Cloud Alpha with the Cloud Flight, but these will be more traditional in design from the looks of things. A necessity for any gaming headset these days, the HyperX Cloud Flight is Teamspeak and Discord certified, with a removable noise-cancelling microphone included. Keeping with market trends, the Cloud Flight feature a red illuminated HyperX logo on each ear cup, though enabling it does come at quite the hit to battery life, bringing it down to 13 hours when continually lit. For height adjustment, the Cloud Flight feature an adjustable steel band and look to have a solid design backed by excellent build quality, something I’ve come to expect out of HyperX.

The HyperX Cloud Flight are aimed for the premium wireless gaming headset market and will be launching with a $159.99 MSRP. I love my HyperX Cloud Alpha headset and during my review of it, I wondered when HyperX would venture into making a wireless headset to take on the likes of Astro and SteelSeries, so I have high hopes for the HyperX Cloud Flights. I definitely am interesting in seeing how the Cloud Flights hold up in terms of sound quality and latency over wireless, as this is HyperX’s first go at a wireless headset and the brand has managed to impress me with each of their headset releases, so far.

I will be covering the HyperX Cloud Flight in depth soon and am hoping that the headset lives up to the lofty expectations I have for it. Stay tuned.
