HyperX Cloud Mix - A Mixed Up Gaming Headset?
HyperX has been known for making some of the best gaming headsets around. The Cloud Mix bluetooth headset on the other hand is a bit of an odd product when compared to the Cloud Flight, Revolver S and other members of the HyperX family.

I didn't even realize that you were using the onboard mic, the quality is insane
Overpriced same as apple shit. Nubwo N12 is better with only $19
No fucking way
@@hidayat1999 Big lul. Nubwo's are nowhere near as good.
@@hidayat1999 You just dont have the money to test both headsets lol. The Mix is clearly better in every point.
Cloud Mix vs. Corsair Virtuoso?
Even his glasses are black & red and gaming certified.
Terraria!
TLDR; great product at the wrong price
The right product in the wrong price, can make all the difference in the world
*TLDW :)
This is pretty much the Cloud 3's
They got all mixed up in the price.
What is tldr
Will you be doing a review of the steelseries arctis 2019 series?
I have the Cloud Mix now and they are fantastic. Debated between the Alphas which were $70 at the time and these which were $200 for about a week. Finally decided to just go for it with the Mix and I do not regret it at all. Very premium headset with great sound and amazing build quality
Hyper x should stop making a boom mic and focusing on a onboard one LOL that quality.
that quality is so much better than the boom mic
What about putting that great mic in the boom mic, and call it a day?
"Mic boom"
I'm kind of thinking that all that increase in price went to the onboard mic
@Wendy Starfall why is that?
Would you recommend this headset for travel and gaming? I travel a lot and I've just started gaming. My old headphones were beats and had no mic so i wanted a comfortable headset that was also compatible with the phone.
6:53 Mic test
Sivanesan thanks
You're looking in shape bro, I'm proud of you.
$50 cans $150 wireless tax G-Sync 2.0
Their $100 cans but ok
was thinking about buying them until I heard the price, they can keep them id rather spend money on audio technica cans have have the bluetooth for a quarter less
@@tonyt3rry This is the best way to go, jerry rig your own headset (they'res plenty of good cans/mics to choose from).
@@UltimateGattai ive actually been looking at bt4.0 recievers i love my vmodas i did have the boom pro but the cable broke from bending on my shoulder. i wanted to go wireless so my little girl doesnt yank on the cable.
@@tonyt3rry Get the mh751/752s, Cooler Master modded the Taksatar pro 82s to having a perfect bass (so there is not an adjustable bass slider) and now with a good mic under $70~$80 also there is some software for adjustments (I think something as a replacement for the bass slider
Hi, Just wondering if you noticed any difference in sound quality when using Bluetooth wireless vs corded?
Can u use the 7.1 sorroundsound dongle to another brand headset for example logitech g pro
would i be able to use the bluetooth feature on my laptop and play games and talk to friends with it or does it have to be plugged with its wires?
The cloud mix is available in my country rn for 140. I bought the cloud 2 wireless first but i didn' t like that i was limited to only using it on my pc. Would the cloud mix would be a good option. (would the cloud mix' s audio be better than the cloud 2 wireless? considering it uses the cloud alpha design) Or should I just ditch the wireless and bluetooth idea and go for regular cloud alpha
Hi, which of the wireless headset is better hyperx cloud mix or razer barracuda x or steelseries arctis 1
I keep reading that these have smaller ear cups than the usual Hyperx headsets. Are these still around ear headphones or on ear headphones? And is the depth the same as any other Hyperx Cloud heaset? Thanks!
Currently the Cloud Mix is on sale for £140, would you recommend this or something like an Arctis 9X?
I have hyper x cloud s for main headset for pc adn they are fantastic, i want something for travel thought and so want bluetooth connection for my phone, I can easily get these for only £80 so for that prie point would u recommend?
Can you help me my hxper x cloud mix is not working and only my mic work and it does not show headphone audio driver so I can't hear no sound and when I go to setting it show me you have not plug wire
Hey HardwareCanucks, do you plan to do another (headphone) amp/dac roundup? whats best, whats worth it, something of the sort? Your last one now a year old.
I have the qc35 and connected it to my pc via Bluetooth now my main concern is that it makes my headset mono instead of stereo for the microphones to work. Does the MIX also do this when connected via bluetooth and using the on board mic instead of the detachable mic? Im asking this because the built-in sound better amd isn't muffled.
Hi love the vids keep up the good work
I want headphones for first person games (pubg, bf, ..........) and I do not know who to choose the hyperx cloud revolver s or hyperx cloud mix or hyperx cloud flight. Which of the above you hear better steps and shot? Please help to choose
Great review as always!!!
Great review. Btw your voice is so relaxing 👍
Is the cloud flight clamping force waaaay stronger than the mix? I got a flight and it seems horrible compared to wired headsets I tried at Best Buy... what’s the deal there...
Hey Eber are those the AKG K7XX on your desk? How do they sound compared to those? cause you know the price tag is actually the same I think I would consider an open back. I know the hyperX products are awesome I preordered the Cloud II back in the days but for 200$ I would go open back.
Love the K7xx. Easily the best for indoor listening
Can you charge the headset while in wired mode or is there still inference like there is with the Cloud Flight?
I picked up a pair of these a few weeks ago, mostly because the Sennheisers I wanted were out of stock at my BestBuy. I have been having problems with the microphone picking up output audio the entire time. It actually picks it up even when I unplug the mic from the headset. Makes me think there is something wrong with the wiring.
thank you for the very good review. im in the market for gaming headsets both wire and wireless would be nice, okay mic but im lost there is so many of them i don't know what to pick lol.....
Is it connected with Bluetooth, that's clear. But the Bluetooth's base is included in the pack? Or should we buy that separately?
I went though a lot of headsets for comfort and sound and the cloud alphas are fantastic for the price point.
Help me, i want to know, which is better for bass, HyperX Cloud flight or HyperX Cloud MIX. Help me.
So... looking for a headset that I can use between my PS3/PS4 and PC. Would this headset work with Bluetooth for the PS3, is the main point here
Sir, i have a problem, i have the same mic but ti doesnt work as expected. First of all it has a lil delays on games and secondly it sometimes disconnects with bluetooth The fact is that i had to buy a wireless headset and i dont how to fix that. i wanted to fix it with a new bluetooth dongle which has 5.0 bt instead of 4.0 but i dont know what to do if it wont help. So please could u respond and help me. thanks
How is the delay of bluetooth audio when connected to Android and iOS devices? Is it usable for watching videos?
How is the sound quality in these compared to the Hyperx cloud2 ?
I wonder if a regular rtx 2080 is better in sli than a single rtx 2080ti? I would really love to see that tested since in theory 2 2080 is about the same cost of a 2080ti rtx now I use an rtx 2080 from that’s why I’m curious.
One question, can you connect this to a PC by Bluetooth or does this Bluetooth technology only work with phones?
How do the new ones compare to the Cloud/Cloud 2? I'm expecting a wire failure on my cloud anytime now and am lookng for a model to wait for a sale on
You should check out the HyperX Cloud Alpha, it has a detachable cable. The rest of it is very similar to the Cloud II.
So is it true that you cannot use the boom mic when connected to a pc through Bluetooth? You’re forced to use the onboard mic if you want to use them with Bluetooth?
Hi, can you guys add crosstalk testing for headset? I bought a cloud stinger and found that my friend can hear my PC's sound while chatting. I do further research and found that it's a common issue of cloud stinger but I'm not sure about other headsets. Thanks!
Which one do you prefer if price didn't matter? Arctis 7, Cloud Mix, or Arctis 1 Wireless?
what was that stand at 2:18? looks amazing 👍👌
Bought one and i love it, I do not regret getting it. From razer electra v2 to cloud mix is such an improvement. Sound quality is superb and comfortability is 10/10. I have a external mic so i never really use the mic
How good is it for cod mw
@@ChronicBackPainn tbh bro i moved on to cloud flight becausw i have a peircing in my ear that the small cuffs of the mix makes it uncomfy. But i still stand with what i said, best purchase ive made. But if you want to save some bucks try the cloud flight, its wireless and the wireless receiver on the flight is 10/10 vs the bluetooth of the mix. Unless you'll be using the mix for phone and/or laptop which bluetooth wont really matter.
@@jaygap so it's great for directional sounds?
Can you listen to 2 different audio sources at once? Can you use the Bluetooth and use them wired at the same time?
do the headphone speakers and mic work with only one jack on a laptop?
Is Eber losing weight, or is it the Thermaltake jacket just that slimming?
Is it available for sale now?
Hey guys what do you think about the Sennheiser RS 175 with a wireless modmic for gaming ?
If I'm using these with the wire, do I still need to charge these or is that only when using bluetooth?
Are these only compatible with PC? Been looking for a nice headset that has Bluetooth so I can answer calls while playing. My Cloud Alpha's are really comfortable so I'd want something that is similar or better. Edit: Just realized they are compatible with Xbox and PS4 as well.
i guess its a good combination if you are searching for a wireless headphone for outside and at same time you need a gaming headset. Now that its 25% off im considering it, because i have the wired hyper x cloud II and no other headphone was i able to wear for such a long time comfortably so im kinda stuck with buying this one i guess
Did you get it yet? On my Amazon acc it's now 45% off ;3
I got the cloud 2 Twice in a row and this is what I'm going for next thanks to this review since it can pair with my phone because my first cloud 2 wire failed and broke before anything and lasted me 3 years and now having a new one right after because the sound Is good but that's to the review I will definitely get somthing like this with knowing what I'm getting
does the cloud mix cable work with the cloud alphas?
So you can't use the boom mic when blutooth to your pc? did i hear that right?
Is there any other options that offer both Bluetooth and wired for gaming headsets?
Hello!! Sorry it's probably out of context but where can I buy the jacket you're wearing in the video ? lol thanks in advance!
It's Thermaltake brand Jacket so proly exclusive
Can you use the on board mic (not the detachable one) with it plugged in 3.5mm? Or if it's plugged in with 3.5mm do you HAVE to use the detachable mic?
Wired you're stuck with detachable mic while in Bluetooth mode you're stuck to onboard mic.
so am I able to use them on my computer with a bluetooth receiver or nah
What about the sound quality whilst pc gaming via wireless?
Can I get some information about your setup? Mace and keyboard? :D
so, in terms of gaming wireless....this one or the Logitech G935?
May I ask what's the name of the song in the video?
Its 160$ on amazon atm is it worth it? Wanted to use it for gym but i was thinking if it gets soaked i'll have to replace the cups everytime
Skits late but earphones 100% for gym AirPods on sale get this if u still need 70$ sale on amazon
Can I listen to music from my cellphone via bluetooth and play games on my pc at the same time with this headsets?
Can I connect this headphones bluetooth 4.2 to 5.0 in my computer? Is it possible?
Nothing's to say, good explanation, keep going bro
Great review, thanks.
Since release, the fact that it didn't come with both Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz connections. HyperX has the low latency tech with their Flights, they can definitely implement it on the Mix. It would definitely be a true versatile headset.
Is the mic better or worse than the revolver s?
should i buy hyperx cloud alpha or steelseries arctis 3 ? need guidance pls
I would have got Alphas
Una pregunta, me he comprado estos auriculares y no se si tiene software para descargar, al menos no lo encuentro por ningún lado. Si alguien lo sabe que avise porfa.
Just the leather ear cushions? No velour ones in the box?
How much delay are there on the bluetooth if you are only play with that?
I bought hyperx cloud 2 is it good?
My wireless mode doesn't work when in a discord call/party in a game with my friends. This is only in wireless mode. Anyone have a solution?
I’m also lost on the pricing. I wonder how companies research and determine their prices at times. ???
The setup looks good man
This is the product that's perfect for my use case. Muted design but still has uniqueness, that I can carry outside my gaming PC and listen to good music from my phone wirelessly. HyperX is the brand that can do this given their track record on sound quality, but yes the price is the deal breaker
you became fit bro, keep it up!
5:40 What does he mean by "this headset can only pair up with a single device"? Can I not pair the headset via Bluetooth with my PC and my phone or do I have to choose one? Or is he complaining about how we can only pair 1 device at a time?
nice review!!
So can you use this headset wirelessly via Bluetooth to your pc?
Do some Plantronic Rig series Headsets, They come with an Dolby Atmos code as well. Lots lots of bang for buck. Super comfy as well. Rig 400 crazy light.
What do u have to do to set it up to your sp4
One very important thing you did not mention is whether or not the headset switches it's Bluetooth connection protocol to a handsfree one when using the built in mic wirelessly, which if it does, utterly destroys the sound quality. This is what happens to me if I try using the mic of my sennheiser pxc 550s and it's something really important to keep in mind.
are these worth at a 150 usd pricepoint? seems like a good price
Anyone have a better option for the money that will pair with both a PC and Android wirelessly?
I think for the money I will go with a pair of the Audio-Technica M50x BT, the Bluetooth version, and a Vmoda BoomPro mic. The retail on the cans alone is $200 as well, so there would be a $30 or so premium to add the BoomPro but for such a an audio quality focused setup, I think it's worth it. Also sometimes the M50x BTs do go on sale for about $170 occasionally.
the microfone works with bluetooth too?
8:00 id like to point out a correction the gooseneck mic DOES in fact work with bluetooth and you have the option of using it or the internal mic when using it over bluetooth. If the gooseneck is plugged in that is whats used, if you unplug it the mic reverts to the internal unit.
hi, since you seem to own one, how exactly do you activate the mic in wired mode? No mic gets recognize in wired mode when I use mine, no matter if the boom mic is plugged in or not.
I absolutely love these headphones and this review really doesn’t do then justice (granted it’s a few years old now)... as you can now pick them up for £80! They also support Aptx low latency when paired with a capable usb transceiver such as the Creative BT-W3 enabling use on PS4 and ps5
One ear went in my cloud 2 headphones after 2 years of love of these headphones. The mix are discounted right now so just bought a pair, hoping I like them as it’s a big price different.
I got them for 130 dollars. Still waiting for them in the mail.
Hey! Can you please share your experience of using HyperX Cloud MIX?
@@justinw9455 What is your experience? Can you please tell me?
@@akela2109 Hi yes! I still have these headphones and I love them. Great sound quality, the only downside is when using the Bluetooth on the headphones the Bluetooth microphone isn’t very good. The removable microphone is great though! Overall I really love these headphones! Hope that helps :)
@@SineadMooney Thanks a lot! I am thinking of buying new headset and I like this one.
An excellent review. Amazon has lowered the price to $159.99, but I still think the price is too high, considering they're not much different than the Alpha Cloud. which can now get at Amazon for $84.99.
Off topic but I just finished watching JayzTwoCents' latest video "Fractal Design Meshify S2 Review" and he mentioned HardwareCanucks and I thought to myself I haven't heard from them in a while. I realized I was no longer subscribed to you guys. Seems KZhead unsubscribed me from your channel in which I just resubscribed again. Weird.
I don't know about you guys but when looking for a pear of headphones that can, be used for Gaming and music, use cable when it dosent have battery for long trips, use bluetooth when you dont have to worry about battery, have detachable mic and look nice so you dont look like an alien while being outside.. I feel like this is the best option for me. Im going to wait a week before buying to see if any of you guys give me a better solution out there... One question, just finished watching the video, at 5:15 he talks about the Flight that connects via USB, and can also be used in wired mode, as in jack ?
Nobody says they are not great, we say they are overpriced. For the same price you can get the older wired model and some good bluetooth headphones.
the built in microphone is one million times better than that boom thing omygod. I didn't even notice you were using the headsets mic until you said it. Holy hell that mic is good
no, it is not. for gaming atleast, you will pick up alot of background noise, your keyboard, your movement, people talking around you. with boomarm microphone idk what its called thing you basically almost only hear your voice.
Long time fan of your channel guys, top notch reviews! However... in this one I feel you missed the entire point of the product. These headsets, including the Arctis 3 Bluetooth, shouldn't really be compared to other regular gaming headsets as they have /two/ major use-cases; first one is the "obvious" one, for switch owners wanting to use a secondary device (mobile/PC) for voice while getting game audio from the wired connection. My use-case however is different, and a reason why I was looking at this one as well as the Arctis 3 Bluetooth (as well as the very expensive Arctis Pro): I wanted a good pair of wireless headphones for music on the go/while travelling, as well as in front of my computer, additionally I want a decent gaming headset. Why buy two (for guaranteed a larger price tag) when there's no technical limitation nor reason for not combining bluetooth for music on the go and wired connectivity for gaming? Especially since in my case I don't even have a need to combine audio-streams (compared to the Switch users). Ultimately I ended up with the Plantronics BackBeats Pro 2 (which according to rtings seems to have some really nice audio combined with a good battery and some ANC), which I'm planning on combining with the V-moda BoomPro for the gaming use. Net sum seems to be similar to the Cloud Mix, and while higher than the Arctis 3 Bluetooth, I will definitely have better battery life, likely better sound as well as less hassle with proprietary sound connections on the headset (and aptx LL which could be used for games when mic is not needed). In any case, as mentioned, I feel you missed the entire point of the product in this review, and while I didn't opt for this product for my use-case in the end, it was one of very few options I had (and a very viable one at that).
the blutooth mic sounds better than the boom mic lmao
