HyperX, the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company, Inc. today announced it is the No.1 PC gaming headset brand in retail for two years running in 2017 and 2018. The achievement is based on total retail revenue in the United States according to the NPD Group - Retail Tracking Service.
We’ve been fans of HyperX’s Cloud gaming headsets since they were first released a few years back. Since the first headset HyperX has just got it right in terms of sound quality, comfort, and style. HyperX’s latest release, the Cloud MIX, attempts to go into a realm HyperX has not been before, wireless. The Cloud MIX as the name suggests is not just for PC use though, it is designed as a gaming headset that you can use on your PC, console, mobile device, etc. It features not only Bluetooth wireless connectivity, but a wired connection too, so HyperX is hoping this is the all-around headset for anyone. Will this headset replace the Cloud Alpha, which I use daily? Or my wireless travel headphones, the BOHM B66’s? Read on as we find out!
In a world of flashy keyboards and mice with RGB LED lighting, and gaming headsets with impressive virtual surround sound capabilities, it is easy to forget about a simple, yet important part of any gaming setup. While a mouse pad may seem trivial to many, it can be a critical component to others. Coming in all sizes and materials, mouse pads can play a huge part in having a comfortable computing experience. HyperX knows this, and has designed the Fury S Pro Gaming mouse pad with comfort and performance in mind.
HyperX, the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., today announced the release of HyperX Cloud Earbuds. Developed for Nintendo Switch and mobile gamers, Cloud Earbuds feature signature HyperX comfort coupled with new patent pending, HyperX designed soft silicone ear tips, giving gamers the ultimate in comfort and superior sound for an immersive gaming experience on the go.
As the name suggests, the Surge is part of the HyperX Pulsefire line, and offers great hardware like a Pixart 3389 sensor and Omron switches, as well as 360-degree RGB LED lighting effects. In addition to the standard gaming mouse options, the Surge gives users access to HyperX NGenuity, a software application that delivers extra customization options.
It seems like every memory company is now offering RGB modules and HyperX is now one of them releasing their first ever RGB kit in their Predator DDR4 RGB. This kit comes with an updated heatspreader design, of course RGB lighting, and one very special feature that you won't find on other RGB kits. That special feature comes in the form of IR channels built into each module. These ensure that the RGB lighting effects don't get out of sync, by allowing the modules to "talk to each other". We were actually shown how this works at CES earlier this year. Today we are checking out the HX429C15PB3AK2/16 kit, which is a 16GB (2x 8GB) kit running at 2933 MHz with timings of 15-17-17-39 at 1.35V. Let's see how this kit stacks up against other RGB kits we've reviewed recently.
HyperX , the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., today announced the Predator DDR4 RGB featuring industry-leading, patent-pending HyperX Infrared Sync technology is now shipping. The new Predator DDR4 RGB features Intel XMP-ready profiles optimized for Intel's latest platform and is available as 8GB single modules and in kits of two or four with 16GB and 32GB capacities.
HyperX, the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., today announced the addition of higher frequency memory modules to the HyperX FURY DDR4 DIMM and HyperX Impact DDR4 SODIMM product lines. FURY DDR4 DIMMs and Impact DDR4 SODIMMs both offer automatic Plug N Play overclocking functionality. FURY DDR4 is now available up to 3466 MHz and Impact DDR4 is now available up to 3200 MHz. Both product lines are available as single modules and as various kits configurations from 8 GB to 64 GB.
In this episode of our weekly tech podcast we talk about our review of the EVGA X299 Micro Motherboard and the HyperX Cloud Alpha headset as well as some interesting news about Samsung making a crypto-mining ASIC, Paragon shutting down and more!
Back in 2014 HyperX released their original Cloud Headset. It was a headset that offered incredible performance at a great price, at the time it was the undisputed best gaming headset under $100. Then in 2015 the HyperX Cloud II came out, again we were blown away. I have been using that headset as my main headset since reviewing it. So when HyperX told us they have a successor to the Cloud II I knew it had big shoes to fill. On top of great sound performance the Cloud headsets were some of the most comfortable out there. So today we are checking out the new Cloud Alpha, which has a similar design to the Cloud II, but brings with it a new dual chamber driver design. The dual chambers separate the bass from the mids and highs, allowing optimal tuning for cleaner, smoother sound. Let's take a look a see if this headset will become our new gaming headset!
