This changes the audio characteristics a bit if you are an audiophile, but will go unnoticed by many. HyperX uses 50mm drivers for the rest of their gaming headsets, but went with 40mm drivers since they need less power to drive them and they take up less space.

Yet, here was HyperX introducing the Cloud Mix for a not-so inexpensive $199.99 shipped. Ive talked to HyperX many times over the years to inquire about Bluetooth wireless gaming headsets and was always told that the latency of the audio broadcast over Bluetooth introduced too much latency to be considered a good gaming headset.
