the 3D audio functionality here is quite impressive
the comfort is quite good
The bass is quite powerful and detailed

it does not tend to get as loud as proper standalone microphones
slightly heavier than the HyperX Cloud Alpha and the Astro A50 headset
does require a bit of breaking in

Another fantastic headset from HyperX, but is it held back by a lack of wireless?

The HyperX Cloud Orbit S sounds great and feels comfortable. But it's also convoluted and expensive.

HyperX Cloud Orbit S Review: the best gets cheaper

The HyperX Cloud Orbit S brings the Audeze Mobius' design to a cheaper price. Does it cut the right things to reach that?

The HyperX Cloud Orbit S makes audio sound like it’s filling the room. The headset can be advantageous for gamers, but the head tracking isn’t always noticeable.

The terrific HyperX Cloud Orbit S wired gaming headset takes the advanced technology of the Audeze Mobius, removes the Bluetooth, and puts it in a more gamer-centric package at a lower price.
