Pros and cons

According to our gaming headset expert

  • With the Dual Chamber drivers, you can hear the bass, mid, and treble more clearly.
  • Your friends don't hear background noise thanks to the noise-suppressing microphone.
  • You can easily remove the headset microphone if you're not using it.
  • Since stereo sound isn't spatial, it's harder to hear which direction the sound is coming from.

Description

Game on every platform with the HyperX Alpha Gaming Headset. You can connect this gaming headset via the 3.5mm audio cable. This means the headset is plug and play, so you can use it right away. The dual chamber 50mm drivers divide treble, mids, and bass, which makes the sound clearer. And thanks to the noise suppression in the microphone, you can communicate online with your friends without background noises. This way, your message always comes across clearly. If you often play alone or don't need a microphone, you can easily remove the headset microphone. This keeps it out of your way and you can continue gaming undisturbed.

Our expert review

The HyperX Cloud Alpha is ideal for long gaming sessions.

  • Is very nice
  • Long battery life
  • Good sound
  • Bad microphone
I think the HyperX Cloud Alpha WIreless is a very nice headset. This headset has a very good battery and a great sound. The headset is very comfortable and light. It is a pity that the microphone leaves something to be desired and the headset has no surround sound. Is very nice I take the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless out of the box and immediately notice that the headset is quite light. The headset also feels sturdy and is made of sturdy materials. I hardly notice it when I wear the headset. The ear cups are nice and big and fit well over my ears, the ear pads are also made of soft materials. I've been wearing the headset for hours and haven't had any sore ears at all. Long battery life The battery life of the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is really very good. It says on the box a battery life of 300 hours, and this seems to be true. I've used this headset for at least 20 hours and the battery didn't even drop below 80 percent. So you can really play for hours on a battery charge. This is really nice, especially for the very avid gamer. Good sound I really like the sound of the HyperX. I really hear differences in the tones and sounds. The direction of the sound is more difficult to estimate. I really notice that this headset has no surround sound. I have a hard time hearing where the enemies are in Fortnite and can therefore not estimate how far they are from me. I find this annoying especially in multiplayer games. Which is also a pity that the microphone of this headset is not the best. According to my friends I sounded very far away even after adjusting in the menu of my PlayStation 5. The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is a gaming headset with some nice advantages. The battery life is great and the headset is also very comfortable. The surround sound sound and the microphone unfortunately leave a lot to be desired. I was difficult to understand for my friends and the direction of the sound was also difficult to estimate. Especially for this price I expected a little more sound quality. But are you looking for a headset that you can use for hours of gaming with great sound? Then the Cloud Alpha is exactly what you are looking for.

I had a headset from trust before this... what a difference! You can wear this for hours without noticing and the sound is much better. Music sounds clear and good, while in games you can hear the environment well. I am very positively surprised. Tried a Razer and a Logitech at a higher price in the media market, do yourself a favor and buy this one!
