Our Verdict
HyperX Cloud Revolver
HyperX Cloud Revolver + 7.1
The HyperX Cloud Revolver + 7.1 improve on the older HyperX Cloud Revolver in many ways, though they have very similar designs and audio reproduction capability. The 7.1 have a virtual soundstage feature to create a more immersive listening experience while the older Revolver deliver better microphone performance. However, the 7.1's audio cable features a 1/8" TRRS connection, allowing for full mic and audio compatibility even on a standard analog connection, while the older variant lacks a wired-USB connection and is only fully compatible when using an analog connection.
