HyperX, a division of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, announced its second official Xbox licensed gaming headset, CloudX Revolver Gears of War. The headset is co-designed with Microsoft and The Coalition, the studio developing Gears of War 4, featuring a gritty, battle-weathered design to complement the recently announced Xbox One S Gears of War 4 Limited Edition Bundle (2TB) and Xbox One Wireless Controller*– Gears of War 4 Crimson Omen Limited Edition to offer fans a complete gaming set up that shows their Gears pride.

This headset has been tested and approved by Microsoft, with additional compatibility for Windows. It has a 3.5mm (4 Pole) plug** and 2M PC extension cable and features studio-grade sound stage that lets you hear your opponent more accurately from further away, making it ideal for FPS and open environment gameplay. In-line audio control makes it easy to adjust the volume and mute the microphone right from the cable. For the ultimate in comfort, HyperX CloudX Revolver Gears of War features a genuine leather headband and high-quality, award-winning HyperX memory foam that lets you play for hours. Its solid steel frame is built for long-lasting durability, and the detachable noise-cancellation microphone results in clearer voice quality and reduced background noise for a better in-game chat experience. It’s certified by TeamSpeak and Discord, and compatible with SkypeT, Ventrilo, Mumble and RaidCall.
“Gears of War 4 is one of the highly anticipated games of the year and begins a new era in the Gears franchise with new heroes, new enemies and new features never before seen in a Gears of War game,” said Jerry Chu, Director of Licensing at The Coalition. “We are proud to work with HyperX in developing a headset that is harmonious with the Gears look and feel, and most importantly, immerses gamers into our universe to bring the experience alive.”
“HyperX is excited to be working with Microsoft to offer gamers a headset that enhances their Gears of War gaming experience,” said Daniel Kelley, director of marketing, HyperX. “Working with them and The Coalition, we are able to bring our signature HyperX comfort and sound quality along with bold Gears styling to Xbox One gamers and Gears fans alike. We cannot wait to show it off at Comic-Con and give fans the first opportunity to buy it.”
HyperX Cloud Revolver Gears of War is backed by a two-year warranty and legendary HyperX reliability.
