This cable replaces the detachable cable that comes with your HyperX Cloud and HyperX Cloud Alpha Gaming headsets. This cable will allow you to use either your headphone’s microphone or the cable’s inline mic. This cable allows you to control volume using inline volume wheel. This cable also includes an inline mute control that can mute both headphone mic and inline mic. IMPORTANT NOT: This cable is tested using an actual “HyperX Cloud Mix Wired Gaming Headset + Bluetooth Option - Game and Go - Detachable Microphone - Signature Comfort - Lightweight - Multi Platform Compatible (HX-HSCAM-GM).” This may not be compatible with other models.
