CONCLUSION

   Much like pretty much everything released by HyperX to date the CLOUD Flight is a high-build quality (something which you wouldn't tell from its plastic body) product aimed towards serious gamers looking for a wireless headset with good audio performance (crisp mids and highs with good bass levels), excellent comfort levels (just 316g heavy with the microphone) and an impressive battery life (up to 30 hours according to HyperX – almost twice compared to competing products). I need to point out that we never did hit 30 hours of use (even after 3 full recharges) but we did hit 26 after the 3rd recharge which is not a bad number for a wireless gaming headset. Wireless range according to HyperX is up to 20 meters and much like most 2.4GHz peripherals we've ever used that is accurate (we were able to listen to music with 2 concrete walls in between at 11 meters). Of course the CLOUD Flight is not without its flaws since on one hand it doesn't feature surround sound and on the other its plastic body may discourage some people. We were also somewhat surprised to see that there's almost no reason for people to use the HyperX NGENUITY software but that might be a good thing since there are no "dedicated" settings for PC users only.

   Just like with the CLOUD Revolver S which we reviewed a while back price is perhaps the single largest drawback of the CLOUD Flight by HyperX since it's currently set at USD157.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 141Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). Of course even though the competition is quite fierce at around that price point if you're looking for a high-quality wireless gaming headset with excellent battery life, superior comfort and good audio performance (and you care not about RGB illumination or a design that stands out) the CLOUD Flight will certainly deliver and that’s why it gets our Golden Award.
