            When we first started reviewing HyperX Cloud Revolver S, the editorial board was divided into two camps.\u00a0On the one hand, the gaming headphones offer superb 7.1 surround sound delivered through the Dolby Digital Signal Processor.\u00a0On the other hand, this is a ridiculously expensive pair of earbuds compared to other headsets with similar specs.\u00a0Fortunately, being the utterly unique pair of Kingston headphones we’ve ever wore, the premium comfort and premium sound easily made up for the high price and oddly located detachable headset mic.\u00a0It is for this reason that Revolver S tops the list of the best PC gaming headsets.<\/p>\n
