How about the HyperX gaming headset brand introduction

Recommended models: Cloud 2, Alpha Alpha, Revolver Black Hawk S
 
Founded in 2002, HyperX is Kingston's high-performance brand, which initially consisted of a single line of high-performance memory, and now covers the field of peripheral hardware. HyperX is a sponsor of more than 20 gaming teams around the world, including veteran esports teams Liquid, NAVI, G2, and more. In recent years, as the main sponsor of the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) and Dreamhack competitions, HyperX has become a global leader, with 5 million gaming headsets sold in 2018, ranking first in the world. Not only that, but HyperX's design is also outstanding, winning three Red Dot Design Awards and multiple iF DESIGN Awards in 2018, ranking first in the industry in terms of overall strength.
 
HyperX gaming headsets are divided into four gears, collectively known as the CLOUD series, and COULD 2 is one of the most popular gaming headsets, priced at 599 yuan. Its predecessor was named the best gaming headset of 2018 by Wirecutter. As an iterative version, the hardware performance of the COULD 2 has been greatly improved, and the 53mm driver unit used is highly sensitive, and the sound restoration is more perfect. The headphones have an impedance of 60 ohms, and the higher this value, the darker the sound performance, and the more powerful the power supply is required to get the better results.
 
Other than that, the COULD 2 is less fatigued than any headset in this price range for long periods of use, and only the more expensive Sennheiser Game One can match it. The ear cushions are freely replaceable with leatherette and velvet materials, and contain memory foam in the middle, so that when worn with glasses, there is no gripping feeling. Many gamers have reported that the treble of the headset is too prominent, but for a gaming headset, this disadvantage does not affect the game and can be ignored.
 
The HyperX high-end group is led by HyperX Cloud Alpha and is priced at 799 yuan. High-end HyperX headphones all have one thing in common, which is that the range of analytical sound fields is wider. Generally speaking, if ordinary HyperX headsets can only hear the footsteps on the first floor, while high-end HyperX headsets can hear the footsteps on the second and third floors, they are also called professional competitive headphones and hardcore competitive headsets. The bass performance and design of the HyperX Cloud Alpha are quite good, and the headset has designed the previous single chamber space into two separate parts, referred to as dual chambers, to express the treble and mid-bass respectively. This design has been patented by HyperX, and its function is to make the sound field of the headphones wider and clearer.
 
The Black Hawk S is HyperX's best-known gaming headset and the brand's most expensive wired gaming headset, priced at 999 yuan. Like the Alpha, it uses a dual-chamber design that clearly distinguishes between bass, midrange and treble with little positioning accuracy. The appearance uses a solid steel frame and HyperX's signature memory foam, which has a very high level of comfort, and some players report that the memory foam completely learns the shape of the face after a long period of use, and you can't even feel the presence of the headset when wearing it, of course, this is an exaggeration, but it is enough to prove that this headset is extremely comfortable.
 
Stinger and storm is the most cost-effective game headset products,Sound insulation and position discrimination ability in the 299 yuan price range is an excellent product,The only deficiency is poor comfort,It is very unfriendly for users who wear glasses,There is a sense of chuck after wearing it for a long time。 Sky Arrow is a wireless gaming headset,1299The price of yuan is also the most expensive game headset of the brand,Although the wireless headset is easy to store,At present, the technology is relatively perfect,But the price is high,You can't use an external sound card,All aspects are naturally inferior to wired headphones。 If you do not have special storage needs, it is not recommended to use wireless headphones.
 
HyperX's product line covers all grades, consumers can buy according to their budget, and the official flagship store has monthly discount activities, so you can look for the anti-counterfeiting label on the packaging after purchase. It is worth mentioning that the official warranty of the HyperX gaming headset is 2 years, and there are also only replacement but not repair logos in major e-commerce companies, and the headset can be directly replaced if there is any warranty problem within 2 years, and the after-sales service is very thoughtful.
