Cloud Alpha Wireless - Gaming Headset for PC, 300-hour battery life, DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, Memory foam, Dual Chamber Drivers, Noise-canceling mic, Durable aluminum frame,Red | 300-hour battery life, DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, Memory foam, Dual Chamber Drivers, Noise-canceling mic

This is the headphones you want. Okay, that's kind of a subjective statement, everyone has their own opinions, but they are the headphones for me. I hope them never discontinue them (because I assume they'll eventually wear out). So everyone said the battery lasts forever, that's true. I've had them for 7 months now, I wear them all day at work and I think I've only charged them 3 times (I usually wait for it to get to 30 or 40 percent before charging them). The audio is good and they are plenty loud. I think if you are an audiophile or something you might not care for the audio, but for me as a gamer I think they are fine.The one complaint I have about them is the mic is not fancy or anything, it doesn't extend or fold up all nicely you just curl it up to get it out of your face. The mic also plugs into the headset with a standard audio jack and one time it got knocked lose (not sure how, it fits in nice and snug) and I wasn't broadcasting and I thought it was broken and was super upset, but once I realized I just needed to shove the mic back into the socket everything was find after that, so watch out for that in case you think it's broken.That said, no real complaints. Fairly comfortable, they seem very reliable, they are simple enough that I don't think there are many points of failure so I expect them to last 4-5 years easy (but we'll see). Price is kind of high for a simple headset, so it might be out of reach for some, but I think they are quality and if you are going to take a chance on a mid range headset this is a good choice.

(TL;DR at bottom)-----------------------------------background--------------------------------------***I've used this headset for 4 months now at the time of this initial post***For comparison:-I've tried many headsets from razer and turtle beach-Last headset was: Razer BlackShark V2 ProWhat I wanted in a headset:-Good sound quality-Durable-Wireless-Comfort for long duration-Extensive battery per charge (main focus)-Isn't overly pricedI work as a developer and use it to listen to music for the greater part of my day then bring them home for entertainment usage like gaming. It was an absolute pain if I just so happened to forget to charge the night before or forget the charging cord between places.-----------------------------------sound quality---------------------------------------In all honesty, the sound quality felt pretty typical for a gaming headset and is what you'd expect it to be.-This does NOT mean it is bad in any way. It is pretty good, but it's standard and nothing too crazy; certainly isn't music production level quality.-In comparison to the razer, it does feel slightly sharper/more pronounced but the difference is negligible. The only time I can notice the difference is probably swapping headsets between an extended time of use.-----------------------------------durability-------------------------------------------It is very durable in comparison to headsets I've used in the past and this exceeded my expectations greatly.-On numerous occasions as I'm holding it or taking it somewhere, I'd clumsily drop it on pavement as I'm walking or accidentally scrape it a bit against a surface. Still no marks to this day.-It is also very flexible so extensively bending it outwards when putting it on does it no harm.-The last turtle beach headset I ever used did not last even a year under even tamer conditions as I wasn't using it as much as I do now. It was hard plastic and the left ear piece literally snapped and was just a wire keeping it dangling.-The prior razer headset was far better than any of the turtle beaches, but on the occasions where I clumsily dropped it against a pavement or a rigid surface, it will leave a mark quite easily.-----------------------------------comfortability-------------------------------------------As I said, it is quite flexible and the ear pieces are cushioned well with foam.-This effectively means it wont feel like a freakin' clamp on your head when wearing it for a long duration where the headset is constantly trying to curl back into place.-The cushion on the ear pieces and above the head passes standard comfortability and is nothing mind-blowing.-The last turtle beach headset was a clamp. It's plastic material wasn't flexible (which contributed to why it snapped) and was always uncomfortable after wearing for only a few consecutive hours.-The razer was more comfortable but the compromises that build design brought far outweighed what this hyperx has to offer. By compromises, I'm primarily referring to noise cancellation as sound would just go come through the foam quite easily for the raze; the hyperx greatly avoids this issue. Regardless, the hyperx is still comfortable enough to where I can enjoy it for just as long.-----------------------------------wireless---------------------------------------------------It's wireless functionality works over a further distance away than any of the prior headsets I've used. I can go from room to room on the same floor or a floor down/up and it'd still work perfectly fine. Anything further than that will progressively lose connection and cutout more and more which is understandable.-In terms of close connection, I've NEVER lost connection at my desk as long as it had battery.-All of my older headsets that are wireless could barely go from room to room. The most prior modern headset I had, the razer, would entirely lose connection a floor above or below and experience constant cutouts going out of my room to just across the hall. Either hyperx is just ahead of the game or these others are settling on a budget.-----------------------------------300 hr battery life---------------------------------------------------This perk alone probably made the purchase for me.-I have NOT tested this to the full duration extent because I normally just charge it when it hits around 10-20%, but the longevity is no gimmick.-From experience, at the very least, it has lasted over 3 weeks over average daily use of around 10-12 hrs.-Needless to say, even if it isn't hitting the full 300hrs and is certainly a hell of a lot better than needing to remember to charge a headset every single night. It brought me great convenience and far surpassed my expectations.-----------------------------------other quirks and benefits---------------------------------------------------The material of the earpiece/foam is contained by an outer layering and this layering covers the ears very well for decent noise cancellation.-Also because it has this outer layering, cleaning/wiping it is a painless process.-The mic when you mute via headset (there a button under the left ear) will turn on a red led on the mic piece to indicate and let you know you're muted.-The volume adjuster is a scroll wheel under the right ear which makes the design more sleek without having a random knob sticking out of the side.-When you hold the power button to turn on the headset, it will tell you your battery percentage-When your headset is already turned on, you can just click the power button once and it will also tell you the battery percentage.-When no audio is played even if you're at your desk and online, it will turn off by itself to conserve battery.-When you go way too far from connection, it will think you're offline and do the same to conserve battery.Aside from the noise cancellation and automatic turn off for some of my older headsets, the other benefits I just listed weren't available which just adds to the worth for buying this headset for me.-----------------------------------cons-----------------------------------------------------Only three cons to date that didn't really matter much to me, but should be made aware.1) ***VERY RARELY*** when I go too far away from connection, the headset will glitch blaring the same sound loudly. It's tough to explain the issue but you can just turn off and then turn the headset back on to fix it.-Nothing like this ever happened to me while at my desk though.-And out of the numerous times I walk a bit far from connection it normally will turn off by itself to conserve battery thinking you're offline, but only around 2-3 times so far that I can remember has this issue occurred.2) This 2nd issue may be more of a deal breaker to some, and I don't know if it's a common issue. The audio scroll on my headset doesn't really work sometimes (it is inconsistent). I personally didn't really care because I set audio levels through my settings, pc, and individual website instead of adjusting them all through the scroll.3) Although it does read the battery percentage to you, it does so only in 10s (i.e. "Battery level is 40%" or "Battery level is 50%"); no in between.-----------------------------------pricing---------------------------------------------------I bought this when it was at $119.99 around black friday - cyber monday time, so it was even more worth it in my opinion. I don't remember the original pricing before the sale, so can't really compare that price to where it's gone right now.-The rounded price of the razer right now is $130 and this hyperx is $170. The greater convenience and benefits this hyperx provides in comparison far outweighs the difference of $40 for me. Unless there some other brand doing what hyperx is doing with same-better quality and pricing that I've not kept up with, I can't recommend this one enough.-----------------------------------TL:DR---------------------------------------------------SOUND QUALITY is as expected and is of standard for a gaming type headset. (nothing mind-blowing)-DURABILITY is very good in comparison. Numerous drops or light scrapes often don't even leave a mark from my experience using it.-COMFORTABILITY: above standard but not the best I've had. The headset's frame is quite flexible while remaining durable so it won't feel like a clamp wearing it for long periods of time as some headsets I've had always try to squeeze back to place given their less flexible material.-WIRELESS over way longer distances compared to past purchases. Room to room, floor above, or floor below all remain stable in connection. Anything further gradually loses connection.-300HR BATTERY LIFE: While untested to the full extent, from experience. I can confirm I've gone uncharged for over 3 weeks of daily 10-12hr usage. Far more convenient than any other headset I've used.OTHER QUIRKS/BENEFITS:1) Foam for earpieces and above head have outer layer, making it easier to clean and provides decent noise cancellation.2) Mic piece lights up red when you click the mute button on headset as a convenient indication.3) Volume adjuster (scroll) under right ear piece instead of a knob makes headset more sleek.4) Turning on headset or clicking power button while on will read you a rough estimate of the battery percentage left.5) When too far from connection or no audio is played for a period of time(even if you're within connection), it turns off automatically to reserve battery.CONS:1) When too far away, normally it turns off by itself, but in the 4 months I've used it, around only 2-3 times it glitches and blares a non-ending long sound.2) Although it reads you the battery percent, it only does so by 10s and no in between.3) The audio scroll on the headset is inconsistent (sometimes it doesn't work); doesn't really affect you if you adjust volume through pc settings.-PRICING: out of all the headsets I've used so far, this has to be the best I've had thus far. Even if I splurge a bit more than other headsets on the market right now, the battery life and comfort alone wins me over.---------------------------------------------------------------***WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN / RECOMMEND IT?***-Absolutely, yes. I can't recommend this enough.---------------------------------------------------------------Hope this review helped, and happy shopping! :)

While these aren't perfect, I'm giving 5* because I can't find a better value.I used to LOVE the SteelSeries Arctis 7 wireless line until they betrayed their user base with the + line. I am so happy I found HyperX Clouds because they are an amazing replacement. The Arctis + series cheaped out and added software based controls which were super laggy, froze all the time, needed a constant reset (done w/ an ejector needle under the earpad), and the HyperX Cloud sounds just as good with none of these issues!The headset batteries last a week or more before needing charging. Charge them when in the shower, sleeping, out of the house, and they just never die. They do also annoy you about low battery so you don't forget to charge before it's too late.Very comfortable to wear. The adjustability wears out after about 3-years (and slips), but they're such a good value I'd buy again (and I did after 3-years).One suggestion is to disable the horrendous Windows settings for Spatial Sound. They are garbage. You can mess with the HyperX software and see if you like the dtsx spatial sound but I have it disabled personally.One downside is that it does require software for full functionality, but the software is super lightweight.The range is also great. It has a USB dongle for connection. I can go into other rooms and it works perfectly fine.Also charging is USB-C, so that's a nice bonus.Overall I'm super happy with the quality. My only complaint is that HyperX intentionally does not sell replacement parts because they want you to e-waste the product when a single hinge breaks (and they will). Parts wear after 2-4 years based on how lucky you are. I did contact HyperX support and they refused to sell me parts out of warranty. I did see some sellers 3D printing the parts but didn't want to spend $10-20/part and risk it becoming a whole project. Still, this is an amazing headset for the cost so I'd still give it five stars.Also I do recommend WC Freeze earpads, as the stock earpads aren't bad but are a bit small imo. If you have small ears, you'll be fine. If American sized, it'll be fine (maybe annoying for some), but if large ears, you'll hate it. WC Freeze earpads are much roomier and fix that issue, though add the expense in your consideration. I also find the WC Freeze earpads more comfortable, cooler in the winter, etc, but if I recall they're like $30, so they aren't cheap.

Took a leap of faith getting these. I read all the good reviews, but all the bad reviews regarding build quality & audio quality had me hesitant. Even more so after reading that the quality of HyperX stuff has diminished since being acquired by HP.Opening the box leaves a lot to be desired at this price point, nothing special going on there. Plastic shell inside a box with your dongle & headset. The set itself feels very solid in the hand, and the plastic around the hinges seems of higher quality than that you'd find on cheaper sets. I know this type of hinge is prone to breaking, but I think with proper care taking them off your not going to stress anything too much. I had a pair of Roccats that used the same style hinge, but was made of far cheaper plastic, and they held well over a year before starting to chip away, and packing tape held things in place long enough before replacing. Actually loved that set. Roccat Elo Air. I have to say though that for $150 at the time of purchase I'd of appreciated better packaging.However I had no issues at all with getting the drivers & firmware up to date (took less than 5 minutes) and it was really pretty much plug & play. Battery was at 70% and good to go. Nor did I have any latency using the Ngenuity app. Maybe I'm just lucky?They have exceptional sound quality in my opinion. I got what I was looking for with heavier bass, and solid passive noise cancellation. I had no issues making out audio cues in Cyberpunk 2077, or Helldivers 2.Now it doesn't have any Bluetooth connectivity, but that's not what I'm looking for in a gaming headset. It seems that the money saved not including Bluetooth went into better quality audio drivers. Could be wrong, but the audio is excellent.So my only complaint for the headset isn't even the headset lol. It's the cheaper packaging it came in.I wouldn't drop $200 on these at full price, but if you see these on sale for $150 or so (think I paid $145) and don't care about being able to connect to every device in your home these are a great choice.

The battery life on these headphones is INSANE. I charge them once a week. The sound quality is great. The comfort is pretty good.However, I have a several problems with them.1. The "Power On" and "Power Off" sound. It's a guy that just says, "Power On. Battery level is {blank} percent." That's fine... except he shouts it into your ear at max volume. There is nothing you can do to turn down this voice. I have to turn these on/off at arms length to not have my eardrums blown. People across the room can hear this guy trying to rupture your eardrums.2. The wireless connection is... ok. I can go into the kitchen and restroom from my bedroom (kitchen is next room over, restroom is two rooms over in the other direction.) However, in the kitchen, depending on the angle of my head, they randomly disconnect. Also, my balcony which attaches directly to my bedroom... they disconnect the moment I go outside. Keep in mind, my previous headset did not have this issue and I was able to walk around my entire apartment and balcony without connection trouble.3. They randomly freeze. I guess freeze is the best word for it. I'll be watching a video, playing a game, talking to friends, or any other normal task when suddenly, the audio in my headset turns into a loud "BRRRRRRRRR" tone that does not stop. I have to shut them off and turn them back on again. This is clearly an issue with the headset as turning on my PC speakers shows the PC audio is fine.4. The volume dial on the headset is USELESS without their garbage app installed. In fact, if you roll it down, it will even sound a tone telling you it's been turned up/down all the way... even though the volume hasn't changed. I shouldn't have to install their bloatware just to use the volume nob, this should be built into the headset firmware.5. The software is trash. It comes with RGB customization! There is no RGB on this headset. It has advanced macro software. Your headset doesn't have macros. It's got a whole bunch of other features... and NONE of them matter for your headset. It's meant to be an all-in-one software but if you only use the headphones then this software being forced upon you for the most basic feature; volume wheel.Update:They broke today. Like, the entire rail snapped out of place because the plastic clip snapped while putting the headphones on which caused the metal inside to stab me in the side of the head. I've only had them for like a year.

(Old review, within 2 months of first purchasing, updated review below. I gave it 3 stars)I had a few issues with this product, but overall I'm satisfied.Cons:- The range isn't great (hardware preference)- It's not Bluetooth, it's USB dongle (hardware preference)- The volume control isn't consistently locked to this headset, most times it works well (software issue).- My mute button seems to have randomly stopped working as intended (software issue)- The delivery was very late. (Supplier issue)Pros:- I'm not an audiophile so I can only mention that sound quality is decent to my ears.- Battery life is why I bought this. I charge it once every 3 weeks with daily use. Worth the price.- Technically plug and play.- Mic quality is clear.- Comfortable ear/head fit (I probably have larger than typical ears and head as a 6' 3" human)____________________________________________________________________________________________________Leaving my prior text in tact but after a few more months I need to make some alterations to my review.(Updated review, After almost a year of use. 4 Stars)There are 2 issues I have with this product. 1 Major issue that isn't related to the product at all and 1 minor issue that's more a software thing.1) The inital deleivery was terrible.., they delayed shipping my item for months and months. I'm not sure what happened. This was a major issue for me and frankly at the time I wanted a refund.2) The volume dial doesn't control the volume of the headset persay, seems to adjust the volume of the speaker you have last selected within your PC. (Visible when you hover your mouse). Minor issue, just took some figuring out.Everything else is excellent. Battery life? Unbelievably good. It's weeks without plugging. SOund quality, great but I'm not an audiophile. I previously encountered an issue muting the mic with the button on the headset..., i realised i was the problem there as the mic i was actually using wasn't the one on the headset at the time.I expected that it would be Bluetooth initially as I mentioned before but it's USB dongle, that said it doesn't require a higher powered dongle USB slot to operate like my other speaker requires.

I used to use logitech headphones, then I discovered HyperX.First some background. I'm blind, using a screen reader to access my computer. I'm also a techy, both for work and personally, so I'm easily on my computer 12 or more hours a day. This means using my screen reader for all of this time, not to mention online meetings since I work remotely, music or audio books, audio based games, etc. I also move around a lot. All of this to say, having good headphones is nonnegotiable. My requirements are pretty heavy. I need good, clear sound, comfort including if I need to move one off of an ear so I can hear what's going on around me, a very good battery life, on device mute and volume control, decent range so I don't drop off meetings, a decent microphone, and controls that don't require vision. I also need to be able to plug them in and still use them.This thing meets every one of those and them some. The battery life is shockingly good. Better yet, I can press a button and find out what the battery percentage is at least in 10% increments, not by lights but by a spoken voice. In my experience, HyperX blows other brands out of the water with their battery life on headphones. I thought with my first HyperX purchase years ago that surely, surely their battery claims were a typo or a huge exaggeration. They aren't. While I haven't actually calculated time from full charge to dead, I can tell you that I can use these things for days before charging them. In fact, after over a year of using them literally every single day all day, I think I've run them completely dead a total of once. Since the guy tells me every time I turn them on what the battery percentage is, I have plenty of warning when it's getting down some. And if my ADHD brain still forgets to plug them in, eventually he'll start persistently reminding me if it gets low enough.That voice is another thing. Though the app is downright awful and i don't even bother, the device itself is extremely accessible. Unlike some headsets, I don't feel like I'm at a disadvantage because I can't see lights on it. The only thing that doesn't talk or beep is when I plug them in and they start charging. As quickly as they charge though, if I do happen to plug them in to a cable that isn't actually getting power, I'll figure it out fairly quickly when the announced battery percent doesn't go up. Turning them on and off announces. Pressing the power button while on announces battery. Pressing the mute button beeps, twice for mute and once for unmuted. When the signal connects or disconnects, I get a spoken announcement. It's like they were intentionally made to be accessible, and whether this is true or not doesn't really matter when they just work.The detachable mic is both a blessing and a curse. The advantage is that if it breaks somehow, unlikely due to the design but if something does happen, you just plug in a replacement. The disadvantage is that if you're like me, it's easy to unplug and misplace the thing. Replacements are super cheap though, and I keep a couple around just to be safe. The noise canceling is sometimes too good. It's fantastic at minimizing sending background noise, but it's so good that when I actually want to let someone hear my cat's purr, it filters her out.I think the fact I can wear these all day long every day without any problem speaks for itself on comfort. The only time I find them less comfortable is if I try to lay down while listening to an audio book or something, but in all fairness they aren't really designed for that.One thing though. If the little oval pads that go around the ears ever come off, they are a real bear to get back on.

A lot of people have had issues with this headset in the reviews but I've used mine for probably around 1,000 hours and they've been flawless. Extremely comfortable, I'm 6'2" and I have a huge head and they still fit fine without feeling tight. I get compliments about the microphone quality. Sound quality is fine, it won't blow your mind but it sounds nice.The battery capacity really is crazy high. I've never kept track of how many hours a full charge lasts me but I only have to charge the headset every month or two depending on how much I game. The headset audibly tells you how much battery life you have when you power them on. It goes 10% at a time. For example, it will say "Battery level 100%", "Battery level 90%" and so on.The only downside for me: they aren't bluetooth. They're wireless but you have to use the included usb thing that plugs into your computer. I guess it has to be that way. I really like the headset and I wish I could connect it to my phone but oh well. I recommend the headset a lot, if mine bit the dust I'd order again in a heartbeat.

Non credevo nella magia fino a che ho provato queste cuffie. Esagerazioni a parte questa è stata una scommessa per me. Non avevo mai speso una cifra del genere per delle cuffie da gaming ed ero un pò timoroso di aver buttato dei soldi. Non l'ho fatto. Le hyperx cloud alpha wireless sono incredibili. Ottimi materiali e costruzione: se le tratti con un minimo di attenzione ti dureranno anni. I copri orecchie sono grandi e comodissimi, così come la banda superiore. Non ho mai usato cuffie per lunghi periodi di tempo prima, ma dopo ore con queste addosso non ho avuto nessun problema. Anche dal punto di vista del sonoro solo ottime cose: I suoni sono ottimi sulle alte e medie frequenze e i bassi sono un pochino meno entusiasmanti fermandosi ad un buono . Il suono spaziale viene riprodotto bene con solo una zona un pò morta dietro a chi ascolta ma niente di eccessivo. Ottima la distanza di trasmissione con le prime perdite di suono a circa 15 metri con 1 parete in mezzo. Appena prese avevano un fastidioso problema di interruzione del suono per circa 1 secondo ogni tanto ma con l'ultimo aggiornamento del firmware è stato risolto. Non uso mai il microfono personalmente ma nella prova che ho fatto non era entusiasmante. si sente tutto ma ovattato. Infine la parte che sembra veramente magia: la batteria. Io non so esattamente con che demone abbiano fatto un patto ma ne è valsa la pena. La carica sembra essere inesauribile. Per passare da 80% al 70% ci ho messo una settimana con sessioni giornaliere medie di 4 ore: quindi intorno alle 28 ore. PER USARE IL 10% DI CARICA. Questo vuol dire circa 280 ore per una carica completa. Non dico altro.

Ich nutze das HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless nun seit einigen Wochen fast täglich und bin wirklich begeistert.Sound & Mikrofon:Der Klang ist klar und detailreich – egal ob bei Musik, Filmen oder Games. Schritte im Shooter hört man deutlich, was echt einen Vorteil bringt. Das Mikrofon überträgt die Stimme sauber, meine Freunde im Voice meinten sofort, dass ich viel klarer klinge als vorher.Tragekomfort:Sehr bequem, auch nach längeren Sessions drückt nichts. Die Ohrpolster sind weich, und das Gewicht ist angenehm verteilt. Einziger kleiner Minuspunkt: Nach vielen Stunden kann’s ein bisschen warm unter den Polstern werden, aber das ist bei fast allen Over-Ear-Headsets so.Akkulaufzeit:Absolute Stärke! Über 300 Stunden sind zwar sicher ein Laborwert, aber gefühlt muss ich wirklich extrem selten laden. Bei täglicher Nutzung komme ich locker mehrere Wochen ohne Aufladen aus – das ist schon beeindruckend.Verarbeitung & Verbindung:Stabile Bauweise, nichts wirkt billig oder wackelig. Die kabellose Verbindung ist konstant und zuverlässig. Nur einmal hatte ich ein kurzes Knacken, das sich aber sofort wieder gefangen hat – seitdem läuft es absolut reibungslos.Fazit:Ein Headset mit tollem Klang, top Akku und hohem Komfort. Kleine Abstriche wie Wärme unter den Polstern stören mich kaum. Für mich definitiv eine klare Empfehlung und das beste Headset, das ich bisher hatte.

Comprei o HyperX Cloud Alpha – Wireless Gaming Headset (modelo 4P5D4AA, cor vermelho) e fiquei impressionado com a experiência:Chegou bem embalado e dentro do prazo, sem nenhum detalhe danificado.A autonomia de bateria é absurda: até 300 horas de uso contínuo via dongle 2.4 GHz – o melhor que já vi em headsets wirelessO som é cristalino, com drivers dual‑chamber que separam graves e agudos, resultando em áudio muito bem definidoConfortável mesmo em longas sessões, com almofadas de espuma e estrutura de alumínio resistente .Microfone destacável com cancelamento de ruído e LED de mutePontos a considerar:Não tem Bluetooth, usa exclusivamente o dongle USB‑A, o que limita conectar facilmente em celulares ou consoles sem adaptadorResumo pessoal:Produto com entrega impecável, conforto excelente, som nítido, e bateria duradoura, ideal para quem joga muito no PC. A limitação de conexão sem Bluetooth pode incomodar se quiser usar em outras plataformas. Ainda assim, nota máxima pelas qualidades oferecidas.

This is an expensive set of headsets designed for the gaming enthusiast. The build quality is top notch and the mic is probably one of the best in the market. Has a proclaimed 300 hour battery life (yep 300 hour, not 30!). These headsets are not small by any measure, but surprisingly enough do not feel heavy at all. You will have to download the NGENUITY app if you want to configure the equalizer to your liking. The software is simple to use. Sound quality is superb, but sounds tinny out of the box - you'll have to make use of that NGENUITY software to get bass to your exact liking. Needs about a couple of hours worth of "burn-in" after which they sound really great. Very comfortable to wear for extended periods and the feel of the faux-leather headband is awesome when its new.

Good headphones lovely sound and mic is also good no problems with connecting or anything battery also good
