Disappoinment
on July 8, 2017
Posted by: Scott
I purchased this headset to replace my Tritton Pro headset that I have had since 2011. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to get another new set of Trittons. My favorite part of the headset besides the surround sound was the ability to independently adjust chat volume and game volume via a physical control. I had used those on both the Playstation and my gaming PC flawlessly.
When I saw that the HyperX - Cloud Revolver S offered the capability to adjust both chat and game volume the same way my Tritton did, I decided to finally retire the Trittons.
The surround sound works decently but there is no capability to adjust chat volume even though there is a control that would lead you to believe you could. After getting tired of hearing people almost blow out my ear drums, I spoke with tech support. They believed it was a defect USB Audio Control Box and they had me work with Best Buy for an exchange. Best Buy stores in San Antonio do not stock this product so I have to wait a few days to give the Cloud Revolver S another chance.
To my disappointment, the replacement Cloud Revolver S does not work as advertised either. Another disappointment is that you have to either put the microphone in your mouth or shout for people to hear you when using this headset. Also, if you try using the audio jacks instead of the USB Audio Control Box, you will not have surround sound (even with a high-end sound card).
I'm going back to the store to return this tomorrow.
Complete waste of time and gas.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
