Cloud Alpha - Gaming Headset, Dual Chamber Drivers, Legendary Comfort, Aluminum Frame, Detachable Microphone, Works on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Mobile – Red

In the past when shopping for headsets I've struggled to find ones that work well for not only gaming but also movies, music, everything else. But other brands had bass that drowned out all other sounds, and ear piercing treble that attacked my ears whenever a shotgun went off. I think they were trying to enhance audio for competitive gaming but ended up just being awful for everything. This headset however is perfect. The sound is more true to life, the bass and treble aren't overpowering but aren't weak either, it's just right. the sound is clear and crisp and it's especially good for music, you can hear all the instruments perfectly. And you can detach the mic turning them into a pair of regular headphones. The build quality is great and they're definitely comfortable and fit well. I strongly recommend these, the perfect mid range headset for sure.

These are incredible, best headset I've ever had , this is my second pair , first pair were years old and needed a new pair . Highly recommend these

Find it extremely comfortable, used cloud 2 and alpha wireless before and loved them. Good sound quality, fit really well, great price and simple as plug and play.

When I ordered these the headset audio quality is brilliant. I still use the headphones now. Only reason I dont want to vote 5 stars is because the microphone didnt work well on my gaming laptop. However I did also order another mic from algato so it wasnt a problem for me. Works well on xbox if you only play on console!

Nice headset comes apart no tripping over wires

3 months in and these have completely fallen apart. It’s impossible to get customer support through Hyper X website. Really dissatisfied.

Good product does what there supposed to do, price was ok microphone was clear very comfortable

Purchased for my son. He has tried so many headsets for his gaming. But started having compatibility trouble when using with his Xbox series s. Now he is finally happy again. Says these are very comfortable to wear. Do not hurt his ears like others do. He can hear well and his friends say they can hear him very clearly now as well again. They must be good because he has finally stopped moaning about one issue or another. Which he was still doing when he had much more expensive headsets than these. He’s actually gone through trying at least Six different makes/styles. So finally we have found a good set for him to use again and no more sulky teenager. Happy teen, happy parents!

Let me just start this off by saying I never leave reviews. I'm not very easily impressed. I usually buy something, receive it, and carry on with my day. However, I've had these for over two years now, and it only just recently dawned on me how much of an anomaly this headset has been compared to others I've had in the past. In the hundreds, if not thousands of hours I've used this headset for, not once has it ever consciously occurred to me that they're being worn while in use. You slap them on out of the box, adjust the earcups to your liking, and then forget they're there. These things are so damn comfortable that I regularly forget I'm wearing them when I leave my apartment to go do other activities. I can't sing its praises enough in terms of comfort, since it feels like wearing nothing at all once properly adjusted. As for the sound quality, it's pretty damn good. I've never really been much of an audio snob, but this is more than sufficient if you're just looking for something with quality sound. I've used them for everything from games to podcasts, and there has never been an instance where I was underwhelmed in any capacity by the sound quality here. Absolutely zero complaints from me in this department. The noise cancellation is pretty good, too. I mean, it's not gonna completely tune out anything and everything, but background noise is definitely reduced. My apartment's AC is only about ten feet from my desk, and it gets to be decently loud at times. Though the noise from it is still noticeable when wearing them, it still becomes maybe 30% quieter; even at that close a range. Get sucked into a game, movie, podcast, or album wearing these, and you'll soon forget about any white noise going on in your immediate vicinity anyway. You can also buy HyperX's 7.1 surround sound USB adapter to beef up the sound a bit should you so choose, but I mainly use it for additional volume control and ease of use instead of the surround sound. Maybe I'm using it wrong, but it's just never worked for me. If you're sometimes rough with your peripherals like me, you probably are looking for something that can take a bit more punishment than most. Rest assured you won't be disappointed here, because this thing's rock solid. Just off the top of my head, my Cloud Alpha has survived: -Being slammed in the heavy wooden door leading to my apartment -Being slammed in a car door -Being accidentally rolled over at least two dozen times by sixty pound steel office chair -Being tossed onto hardwood flooring when I missed my intended target of the couch more times than I can count -Being dropped six feet onto solid concrete -Being stepped on at least two hundred different times -Being vomited on on more than one occasion, though that can probably be attributed to luck more than anything else Seriously, there are times when throw this guy around and have the headband pretzel in a concerning fashion, only to pick them up again, put them back on, and continue where I left off none the worse for wear. Every time I'd get a little alarmed at the aggressive way that I'd just manhandled my headset, it'd be a completely irrational fear. Barring smashing these things with a hammer or actually trying to bend the headband 180 degrees in the opposite direction, there's no conceivable way to me you could break these in day to day use. I've included a few pictures of the wear and tear they've accumulated over the years, as well as the lengths to which they regularly bend just to give you an idea of the punishment they can take. Believe me when I say the build quality is second to none. Now, at this point you know the headset itself is durable, but you might still be wondering about the cable used to connect said headset to your preferred device. Wonder no more. The included cable is 48 inches of (what might as well be) braided steel, and in my two years of usage, it's accumulated nary a scratch save for a small, nearly nonexistent kink below the volume control. It's detachable too, so you never have to worry about the annoyance and potential stress point that comes from having a cable permanently anchored to your headset. I've coiled this thing up all sorts of ways, tossed it into my pockets and backpack in a ball, and it's none the worse for wear considering. Even if you DO somehow manage to break the cable or render it otherwise unusable, don't worry; it can be replaced with any other 3.5mm audio cable with zero hit to sound quality. Trust me. I've checked. My only real gripe about this product is that my microphone has never worked; even brand new out of the box. I've since bought a replacement mic that also hasn't worked either, so my guess is that it's a manufacturing defect rather than something that broke during use over the years. This is really only something that you should think about if you don't already have a mic and/or will be using this mainly for games. Even if yours also turns out to be broken, I'm sure the folks in customer support would be more than willing to exchange your defective set for a functioning unit. But yeah. This has got to be the best headset I've ever purchased in the ten odd years I've been using them. The price is a bit steep compared your standard headset fare, but the price of admission is well worth it. I've used these things so much that the pleather on the earcups is starting to peel off, and I'll continue to use them until I literally can't anymore, for whatever reason that may be. Can't recommend them enough.

Have had this headset for 6 months . and before that the Cloud II's for 3 years the headset is great quality and the fact that all cables are removable makes sure that it will last a long time. the sound quality is great, the inline remote is very helpful for quick adjustment and mic mutes and the build quality is great as ever.

Estos auriculares son para mu hermano que es el que juega a los vídeojuegos., tienen buena calidad de sonido. Son muy cómodos y presentan buena resistencia los materiales. El micrófono suena de la leche, es de lo mejor. Para juegos y películas suena con una calidad excelente. Mi hermano se pasa horas jugando y no le molestan para nada, son bastante ligeros.

Amazing headphone for gaming

Son los segundos audífonos para gaming que adquiero, los primeros fueron uno gold headset de sony, y debo decir que los HyperX Cloud Alpha son excepcionales en comparación aparte de ser mucho mas durables por su estructura de alumnio, el sonido es claro y nítido, donde al jugar podemos escuchar claramente donde provienen los sonidos, los probe con Forza 7 y con Doom, en Forza el audio te ayuda a envolverte mas en la experiencia de conducción, ya que puedes como dije, escuchar la fuente del sonido, por ejemplo al poner la cámara de la perspectiva del conductor, claramente puedes escuchar como el sonido de frenado y derrape de las llantas provienen de abajo, como si realmente estuvieras manejando dentro de un automóvil de carreras, en Doom que puedo decir, simplemente el sonido de la atmósfera te hace mas sentir la emoción al jugar, y mas cuando acabas con los demonios con los rugidos de tus armas. Los audífonos aíslan muy bien el ruido exterior, para que nada te saque de la inmersión de tus juegos, y uno de los puntos mas fuertes, es que son super cómodos, con lo cual puedes jugar horas y horas sin que te cansen o te lastimen las orejas como otras que hay en el mercado de menor calidad. Ahora hablando del micrófono también es bueno, es claro, evita que tus amigos escuchen ruidos, cumple con su cometido a esa hora de hacer las salas de juego y platicar y divertirte con tus amigos, ademas que es removible lo cual los hace muy prácticos. Son unos audífonos geniales que no puedo mas que recomendarlos totalmente, por su calidad, por su precio, los convierten en una compra de la cual no te arrepentirás. Les dejo un vídeo y unas fotos que realice de los audífonos para que las puedan apreciar.
