Kingston HyperX Cloud Earbuds review: Create powerful sound & crisp highs, worth the asking price

The HyperX series of products from Kingston includes gaming-focused headsets, keyboards, computer memory (RAM + SSDs) and mice. This product is specially designed for the Nintendo Switch handheld gaming console (though the 3.5mm connector means it can also be used with any phone, laptop or tablet that has 3.5mm output).

The first optimisation you see is the cherry red colour – it goes perfectly with the red Nintendo JoyCon. The 3.5mm connector is right angled so as to not interfere with your gaming session. The flat rubberised cable is tangle free and includes an in-line remote and condenser microphone for those games that require in game chat. That being said, it works great for phone calls too. In the box, you get the earbuds, a hard case and three sizes of silicone ear tips.
