The Cloud Orbit S incorporates Waves Nx ^™ head-tracking technology , offering stable, realistic 360-degree sound by tracking the user's head movements 1.000 times per second. These HyperX gaming headsets, combined with Audeze and Waves™ technology, bring users the latest in sound technology previously only found in headsets used by audio experts.

“At HyperX, we are thrilled to expand our gaming headset lineup and partner with Audeze to develop our first headset featuring Planar Magnetic technology,” said Paul Leaman, Vice President of HyperX EMEA. “By working with Audeze and Wave NX technology, we continue to deliver innovative audio products to the entire gaming community .”

The Cloud Orbit headphones are based on the innovative Audeze Mobius platform, which features 100mm planar magnetic driver technology for clear and realistic sound. Audeze's planar magnetic designs use extremely thin film speakers and powerful magnets, allowing the player to accurately hear where their opponent is and enjoy a completely immersive experience during the game thanks to the high quality.

“There really is no industry that can benefit more from our product than gaming, which is why we partnered with HyperX to bring our award-winning audio technology to a broader audience of gamers. We want to change the way people game and give them an edge in competitive two-person or team-based matches,” said Sankar Thiagasamudram, Founder and CEO of Audeze.

Waves Nx technology accurately tracks the slightest head movements and creates an acoustic environment with great precision. Users will feel like they are immersed in games and movies. Similar to how users move their heads slightly to recognize where sounds are coming from, during games they make the same movements to locate the positions of opponents, threats, or teammates.

The Cloud Orbit and Orbit S specifications include customization of the sound and 3D audio settings, including their calibration for individual user measurements, customization of the room environment, and EQ profiles. Includes a removable noise-canceling microphone with filter for voice and chat applications that can be easily disconnected. Three cable options are included for use with PC, console, and mobile devices.
