Kingston recently introduced a new headset, the Kingston HyperX Cloud Revolver. This does not replace the HyperX Cloud nor Cloud II, but is sold as another option. With an MSRP of 103 pounds / 130 euros it clearly is more expensive. Seeing as we really liked the older Cloud-models, we were excited to test the Cloud Revolver.

Kingston HyperX Cloud Revolver as a name is quite a mouthful. HyperX is the gaming brand of Kingston, and apparently Cloud is the designation for headsets. Why this model is called ?Revolver? of all things is a mystery to us ? nothing in the design shows any resemblance of a rotating object or firearms. Something that is a positive when looking at a headset. (After publication of this article we were informed by the PR-department of Kingston that the name was chosen because the headset is specifically meant for usage in first person shooter games.)
