![]() The Cloud Mix Buds can connect via USB-C or Bluetooth, and this is, in itself, somewhat remarkable. If you can fit the HyperX Cloud Mix Buds in your ears, the next pain point is actually connecting them to a device. There was also a pleasing balance between bass and treble frequencies, as well as between vocals and instruments. While the Cloud Mix Buds aren’t audiophile earbuds by any stretch, all the music came through clearly, with no distortion or muddiness, even at higher volumes. I listened to tracks from Flogging Molly, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Rolling Stones and G.F. I was also pleased with how the Cloud Mix Buds handled music. The earbuds faithfully transmitted everything from clashing sword strikes to whooshing dives from high towers. Results were similar when I transferred the USB-C receiver over to the PS5 to test out Nioh Remastered and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. ![]() Gunshots and footsteps resounded in Doom, while the orchestral music sounded close and immediate in Age of Empires. On the PC side, I tried the earbuds with Age of Empires IV, Doom Eternal, Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy XIV. I tested the device with a variety of games and music, and liked what I heard across the board. While earbuds are always going to be at disadvantage compared to full-size headsets, the Cloud Mix Buds acquits itself well. One area where the HyperX Cloud Mix Buds are beyond reproach is in sound quality. HyperX Cloud Mix Buds review: Performance Still, there’s no getting around the fact that the Cloud Mix Buds simply will not fit some people, and that’s a big caveat in a $150 accessory. In fact, the three separate tip sizes on the wired HyperX Cloud Earbuds yielded similar results when I tested them a few years back. ![]() It's worth pointing out that most earbuds don’t fit me properly, so other wearers might have better luck. In the end, I settled on the medium tips, even though I don’t think they would keep the earbuds firmly in place in any situation, aside from sitting perfectly still at a desk or on a couch. But the small tips felt even looser, while the large tips were tight enough to be painful. Since the device includes three separate sets of silicone tips, I thought I might fare better with a smaller or larger size. One or the other always felt as though it was on the verge of falling out. When I first put the Cloud Mix Buds into my ears, I found that they fit loosely. I started to run into problems with the HyperX Cloud Mix Buds once I actually started wearing them. ![]()
