Instead of the sharper blue and copper accent colors, HyperX chooses a more subtle grey/gunmetal. The overall shape is identical, featuring the two 90-degree swivel ear cups and closed-back ear cups. The Cloud Orbit S carries over the design of the Audeze Mobius gaming headset, with some minor changes. HyperX includes a carrying pouch for the headset, in case you want to take it outside for LAN parties or trips. A quick start guide, HyperX support and Thank you cards can also be found. There are three cables in the box, a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm, USB Type-C to Type-C and USB Type-A to Type-C. The headset is secured in place by soft foam, which should provide enough protection from shipping damages.Ĭompared to other headsets, the Cloud Orbit S has quite a lot of accessories. The side of the box has the sideview of the headset. The Cloud Orbit S can work with PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, mobile phones and VR headsets. The headset is certified to work with popular online calling and chatting services, like Discord, TeamSpeak and Skype. Short descriptions in 9 different languages can be found on the backside.

Listing on the left are a few major features of the headset, such as the 100 mm planar magnetic drivers and Wave Nx 3D audio.

A photo of the Cloud Orbit S covers most of the area at the front. The packaging remains a similar design as other HyperX headsets, with a white background and signature red accents all around. Does the performance justify the Cloud Orbit S’s high price tag? They partner up with Audeze, the premium audio manufacturer, to equip the headset with planar magnetic drivers and head tracking technology.

Given the Cloud Orbit is going to cost $299 and the Cloud Orbit S is only $329 when they come out in Q2, it seems worth the added $30 to try it out.HyperX first introduced the new Cloud Orbit and Orbit S headsets eight months ago in CES 2019. How they perform in gaming and other areas where sonic accuracy is paramount is another story, our guess is that they will do the intended job.

When SemiAccurate tried them on during CES, the sound was good enough for our non-perfect ears and the tracking was lag free for listening to music at the very least.

On top of this there is Waves NX 3D audio technology to do what it suggests, plus the motion control on the S model of the Cloud Orbit. On the technology side the speakers use Audeze’s 100mm planar magnetic drivers and sound pretty good, at least they did in the noisy trade show environment we got to use them in. You can also turn the feature off and just use them as normal headphones. There is a little button for centering though, if you press it you hear a voice saying ‘centered’ and the speakers snap back to left and right. Unfortunately due to the added functionality they are USB only, no audio jack. The HyperX Cloud Orbit S headphones look just like the standard HyperX Cloud Orbit headphones, detachable mic, big ear cups, and all the rest you would expect from a set of gamer oriented earmuffs. If you are multi-monitor gaming, these could be useful. This isn’t exactly astounding VR tech, it is as simple as it… err… sounds like, it makes headphones pan like speakers. The idea is simple enough, put head tracking on stereo headphones so that when you turn your head, it sounds like the music or game is coming from fixed speakers. SemiAccurate tried them on and thinks the idea works and has merit especially for gamers. HyperX had an interesting idea with their Cloud Orbit S headphones, put head tracking in them.
