If you're a "serious" gamer these days, or a Twitch or YouTube streamer, there's a good chance you already have a gaming headset. De rigueur: gaming headsets have a higher-quality boom mic for voice chat, since team-based multiplayer games like "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "Rainbow Six: Siege" effectively demand it. The better ones have high-fidelity sound, as they're made to replace desktop speakers.

Only the least self-conscious would usually dare to wear them outside, though. That's where the Cloud Mix comes in — when you're done at your computer or console, you can unplug the boom and headphone cable, turn on Bluetooth, and head out the door with your iPhone or iPad. A built-in (albeit inferior) mic takes over for voice duties like phone calls, and there's 20 hours of battery life.
