![]() ![]() On the volume wheel, you can change tracks by clicking the wheel and turn upwards or downards. The power button is on the back of the ear cup which doubles as play-pause button, the mic volume and music volume wheels also have multiple functions, and the 3D button toggles the various surround modes. The headphones have several buttons and scroll wheels, all located on the left ear cup. Operationsįor those who did not read my Audeze Mobius review, I will go through the Cloud Orbit S and its operations. Playing in an air-con room is recommended. The ear pad cushion is comfortable enough to wear even with glasses. You wouldn’t want your headphones to slip out of your head during intense gaming. The headphones are rather heavy, and the clamping force is quite tight, but for good reasons I guess. Hence, HyperX as a gaming brand makes the right decision not to support Bluetooth. As a gaming headset, wired connection will always beat wireless when it comes to audio synchronisation. Would it be a deal breaker? It depends on individual usage. The one technical difference: Cloud Orbit S does not have Bluetooth wireless audio. Even the PC software for Audeze Mobius works with Cloud Orbit S. All the buttons are at the exact positions, and so are the operations. The HyperX Cloud Orbit S appears to be identical to the Audeze Mobius, except for the colour and the logo printed on the earcups. Note that only the PC and Mac support multi-channel audio, while the rest of the devices only support stereo due to device limitation. The cables are more than adequate to connect to all sorts of devices, from smartphones, PC, to Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PS4. HyperX includes both the USB-C to USB-C cable and USB-C to USB-A cable. You can connect the headphones through the USB-C connector (direct digital sound with built-in DAC) or 3.5mm analog audio. The package comes with the headphones, three cable variants and the detachable boom mic. The Cloud Orbit S with head-tracking technology is selling for S$485. The standard version does not come with head-tracking sensor and priced at S$439. There are two versions of the Cloud Orbit. But they convinced me to review from an audio standpoint, so I agreed to receive a unit to test out.Ĭlick here for the official HyperX product page When they approached me to review the Cloud Orbit S, I politely refused because I do not game so I would not have an opinion on how these headphones perform for gaming. I am not a gamer, but I know Kingston makes reliable memory chips which I have used before. Abbey Road Studio 3 is available separately.HyperX is a sub-brand by Kingston that PC gamers should be familiar with. Developed over the last decade and based on countless blind tests, the Harman method is now regarded as a definitive representation over headphones of how flat speakers sound within a well-balanced room.Īll Nx plugins except Abbey Road Studio 3 are included in the Nx Virtual Studio Collection. The EQ correction method selected for Nx is the Harman Headphone Target Curve. The new EQ correction joins 3D acoustic simulations of top studios such Abbey Road, Ocean Way Nashville, Germano Studios New York (formerly the Hit Factory), Chris Lord Alge’s Mix LA and more. With the update, all Waves Nx plugins – Abbey Road Studio 3, Nx Ocean Way Nashville, CLA Nx, Nx Germano Studios New York, and Nx Virtual Mix Room – now offer EQ correction profiles for practically every pro audio headphone model from AKG, Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, Sony, Shure, Focal, Audeze and dozens more. Waves Audio has announced an update of all its Nx headphone mixing plugins, adding EQ correction curves for more than 270 pro audio headphone models by 54 brands.
