What we can tell you
A gaming headset with both a receiver and Bluetooth, a detachable boom microphone and large drivers. It is filed as having no active cancellation, and it is the clearest example of why that rule exists: the vendor markets a noise-cancelling microphone, which cleans up what the person on the other end of the call hears and does nothing at all for the wearer. That claim is recorded in its own field instead.
What the specifications favour
- Both a low-latency receiver and Bluetooth
- A detachable boom microphone with vendor noise reduction
- A large published driver size, closed-back
What to check before you buy
- No wearer-facing noise cancellation, despite the microphone claim
- No battery figure or weight is published
- No wired mode is published

What we are not sure about (1)
Check the following details before ordering, especially where variants differ or information is incomplete.
Whether this cancels noise
HyperX markets a noise-cancelling microphone on this headset. That cleans up what other people hear on a call and does nothing about the noise around you. This headset does not cancel noise for the wearer.
