HyperX CloudX Flight is an officially licensed Xbox wireless gaming headset
Kingston Technology's gaming brand, HyperX, is mostly known for catering to PC gamers. Today, however, the company is launching a new product for console gamers. To be more specific, the new wireless headset, called "CloudX Flight," is designed for the Xbox One.
Truth be told, it is not an entirely new product. It is simply an Xbox version of the existing Cloud Flight headset -- notice the lack of "X" after Cloud? But hey, it is still cool. You get the same specs and 30 hours of battery life, but this time, it has a stylish green paint job.

CloudX Flight offers a closed cup design, 50mm drivers for immersive in-game audio and 90-degree rotating ear cups. Control features are conveniently built-in to give users the ability to adjust LED effects, mic mute, power, and volume. A detachable noise-cancelling microphone with an LED mute indicator provides clear communications when talking with teammates or during chats," says HyperX.
