HyperX Gaming Headsets Gain Discord Certification

HyperX Gaming Headsets Gain Discord Certification

Discord, the fastest rising voice and text chat app for gamers, offers free, secure and low-latency service for multi-player desktop and mobile gaming.

 They have 5 million users with over 1 million new people trying it out each month and recently raised $20 million (USD) in venture capital through an investment led by Greylock Partners. 

Discord works with top audio manufacturers to ensure that gamers have an excellent experience when communicating among friends, teammates and fellow players. HyperX Cloud II and Cloud Revolver headsets are certified by Discord to have clear and crisp voice quality along with excellent sound. No audible echoes, background noises or vocal distortion were detected. To achieve certification, the microphone on the Cloud Revolver and Cloud II headsets were subjected to various tests including an acoustical comparison vs. a reference sound signature from Discord, rigorous game play among the top five games and constructive audio feedback from the user community.

"We are excited to work with the best hardware vendors in gaming to certify that their headsets play nicely with Discord," explained Eros Resmini, CMO, Discord. "HyperX Cloud Revolver and Cloud II went through the gauntlet and passed with sonic bliss."


"It is an honour to be the first gaming headset manufacturer to achieve Discord certification," said Edward Baily, EMEA Business Manager, HyperX. "Discord is quickly becoming a major player in the voice and chat gaming market. To get their certification is further validation of our headsets and our commitment to gamers to provide the best quality sound experience." 

HyperX is the high-performance product division of Kingston Technology encompassing high-speed DDR4 and DDR3 memory, SSDs, USB Flash drives, headsets and mouse pads. Targeted at gamers, overclockers and enthusiasts, HyperX is known throughout the world for quality, performance and innovation. HyperX is committed to eSports as it sponsors over 25 teams globally and is the main sponsor of Intel Extreme Masters. HyperX can be found at many shows including Brasil Game Show, China Joy, DreamHack, gamescom and PAX.

I've been using Discord lately as my go-to chat client, for a free piece of software it's as good (if not better) as the likes of TS and Vent.

I have a cloud as well, but to say that the mic is anything but hot garbage would be a lie.
