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

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.

I'm writing this review after owning this pair of headphones for the past three years. They're incredibly durable, sound excellent, and have an outstanding battery life. I charge these headphones once a week and I've never even got a low battery alert, and the range on these things is incredible. If I attach the dongle to the top of my PC, I can be two rooms away and still have a clear connection. These headphones are very comfortable and I've worn them for 8+ hours before with no issues. The cups sit over your ears so you don't have to worry about them straining your ears. These are well worth the money, they've been going strong for years and I suspect they'll keep on for many more.

(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 Pro What I wanted in a headset: -Good sound quality -Durable -Wireless -Comfort for long duration -Extensive battery per charge (main focus) -Isn't overly priced I 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! :)

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.

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.

These headphones have the best battery life in this price range. The sound quality is excellent and the detachable microphone is really nice. Some folks say the microphone quality isn't the greatest, but I've had no issues with it. Connectivity is easy to set up, just plug the USB dongle into your computer and you're good to go. The volume wheel and buttons are easy to use and respond instantly. The only thing keeping me from giving these headphones a 5 star rating is the durability. The plastic clips that hold the ear cups in a locked position are really flimsy and can break easily. My first pair worked perfectly for 2 years, but I had to replace those clips twice and it's not an easy repair job. I also had to replace the head band and ear cups, but that was an easy repair. After 4 years, I wanted to buy a new headset, but can't find anything that beats this battery life, so I ordered a new pair of these. The picture shows how the ear cups looked after 3 years of daily use.

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.

I bought this wireless headset because I needed something that could go long stretches of gaming without tethering me to the desk. The promise of up to 300 hours of use on a single charge sounded like a real plus for marathon sessions, and the fast wireless connection meant less fuss with cables. It felt like the kind of headset I could rely on for late nights and weekend sessions. Using it day to day has been smooth. The fit is comfortable thanks to memory foam cushions and a breathable leatherette covering. It stays light on my head, and the metal frame gives a sturdy feel when I move around or adjust it. Setup was simple across PC and other devices, and the mic is detachable if I want to switch to voice chat on the fly. What surprised me most was how clear and immersive the sound is. The dual chamber drivers keep the mids and highs crisp while the bass stays punchy, so voices stay easy to hear in chat and the action feels present. The spatial audio feature adds a sense of direction in games, which helps with locating footsteps or enemies. The mic does a good job canceling desk noise, which is noticeable during streaming or chat with friends. One small caveat is the ear cups can get warm after long sessions in a hot room, and charging from fully drained can take longer than a quick top up. But these are minor issues in an otherwise strong package. Overall, this headset feels reliable, comfortable, and sounds great, earning a solid five stars from me.

If you, as I, love the Alphas then you're going to love these. The sound is a bit different, more bass heavy and a bit more treble. The microphone is not the greatest but why would you care really? Everyone I've played with thought it sounded fine. I've used it now for almost a month, every day, both for work and gaming. At 58% battery level. Who can compete with that? No one, that's who.

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.

El sonido es claro y gracias a su doble cámara es fácil distinguir las direcciones PERO su volumen máximo es bajo comparándolo con los Razer Kraken v3 pro(Audifonos que compre antes que estos pero que se dañaron muy rápido y los devolví) o los Razer blackshark v2 pro(Mis anteriores audífonos). También el micrófono es bastante malo, los audífonos antes mencionados también tienen micrófonos malos, pero este es el peor de los tres. Pros •Bastante ligeros •Batería monstruosa de 300H(Eso está por comprobarse) •Almohadillas cómodas, pero no tanto como las de los kraken v3 pro •Bastante ajustable •Audio claro, con medios y bajos de buena calidad, perfecto para juegos pvp o singleplayer Contras •Tiene el peor micrófono que he probado hasta la fecha •Su volumen máximo es bajo compara los Kraken v3 pro y los blackshark v2 pro •No tiene disponible un puerto jack o bluetooth, es completamente inalámbrico •Poca personalización. El software "hyperx Ngenuity" no hace mucha diferencia en los cambios, aparte del DTS. En conclusión: Si quieres unos audífonos con audio de buena calidad, entonces esta es tu opción, pero si quieres un volumen máximo bastante elevado y bajos más dominantes, te recomiendo los kraken v3 pro.

This headset is truly amazing for the money, its as comfortable as anyone has come to expect from a hyperx headset and has got a very strong construction. One of my problems with every HyperX headset ive owned is the audio profile is very flat with not much bass however the stock profile on these is a much richer sound with better bass, then with the software equaliser it can be tuned quite a bit, making it sound significantly better than any other gaming headset ive owned. Ignoring all of this however, the best bit is absolutely the battery life. I know people said its good but I was not expecting how good. Ive had it for 4 weeks as of today. Use it for typically 4-6 hours a day roughly. I charged it to 95% when I got it, and its only just got to 60%. Im absolutely amazed. I won't really need to charge it for at least another 3-4 weeks. Making it a basically 2 month battery life in my use case which is insane for a headset. Im seriously impressed.
