Cloud Alpha has premium red memory foam, an expanded headband and softer, more pliable leatherette, an aluminum frame, detachable braided cable and noise-cancellation microphone. Multi-platform compatible with in-line audio controls on PC, PS4, Xbox One and other platforms with 3.5mm ports. Frequency response of Microphone is 50Hz-18,000Hz. Issues due to headset detachable main cord partially inserted in the ear cup jack resulting in no microphone audio or quiet/static sounds. The customer should follow the Cloud Alpha User Manual or HyperX Gaming support website headset cable attachment guidelines to properly connect the cord, activate the microphone audio on the Alpha inline volume control box, and ensure Cloud Alpha configured as primary audio playback and recording device on the host system.

RTINGS

If you're looking for a gaming headset with great battery performance, the &Eta;yperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is the best we've tested. The manufacturer advertises these headphones to last for more than 300 hours off of a single charge, so they're worth considering if you don't want to recharge your headset very often. Their auto-off timer can also help conserve battery life when you're not using them.

They have a well-balanced, slightly v-shaped sound profile that adds extra thump and punch to your audio, while instruments and lead vocals are clear and detailed. Unlike other &Eta;yperX headphones we've tested, their companion app includes a graphic EQ and presets for sound customization. Their mic makes your voice sound clear when you're gaming with friends, even with some noise in the background. They also offer a low latency wireless connection, so your game audio and visuals stay in sync.

Unfortunately, like most gaming headphones, they don't isolate you from ambient noise, so it's better to use them in a fairly quiet setting. You also don't have the option to use them wired if they run out of power, but their extremely long continuous battery life means you don't need to worry about recharging every day.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha S is the best headset under $100 with a wired design that we've tested. These headphones have a detachable 1/8&quot; TRRS cable, eliminating audio lag. They also have a USB-A dongle, which has controls like volume, chat mixing, mic muting, and surround 7.1.

These comfortable and well-built over-ears have a bass slider on each ear cup, which lets you individually adjust the amount of bass each ear receives. With both sliders turned up, they have a boomy sound profile, and the extra bass can help bring out sound effects in your gameplay. Their detachable boom mic offers good overall performance, so your voice sounds clear and full-bodied, even if you're gaming in a moderately noisy environment.

Unfortunately, beyond their bass sliders, they don't have any other sound customization features. They're also very prone to inconsistencies in audio delivery, and if you have thick hair or wear glasses, you may especially notice a drop in bass. However, if you're looking for the best PS4 headset under $100, they're worth checking out.

The best Xbox headset under $100 we've tested is the HyperX Cloud Alpha S. These wired headphones have a very comfortable fit for long gaming sessions. They have a bass slider on each ear cup to adjust the amount of bass you hear on each side separately.

With both sliders turned to the maximum, they have a boomy sound profile that can help to emphasize sound effects in action-packed games. Their detachable boom mic has a good overall performance, so if you're gaming with friends, they can hear you clearly, even if there's some noise in the background. They're also well-built, with an aluminum frame and a braided audio cable that you can replace if it's damaged.

Unfortunately, their companion software doesn't offer many options for customization. They don't come with an EQ or presets that you can use to fine-tune their sound. They also struggle to block out ambient sound, which could be frustrating if you play in a noisy environment. If you're looking for headphones for Xbox One that cost less than $100, these are worth considering.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is the best wireless PS4 gaming headset for battery life that we've tested. If you don't want to worry about recharging your headphones each time you use them, these over-ears are advertised to deliver over 300 hours of continuous playback time. They also have an auto-off timer to help conserve battery life if you forget to turn them off. 

These headphones have a sturdy build and a comfortable fit. When using the 'Balanced' EQ, they have a slightly v-shaped sound profile with a touch of extra thump, rumble, and boom, which can help emphasize sound effects. That said, unlike other HyperX headphones, their companion software offers a graphic EQ and presets to help you adjust their sound to your liking. Their boom mic also offers a very good performance, so your voice sounds clear, even in moderately noisy environments. They have low latency too, so your audio and visuals stay in sync.

On the downside, they struggle to block out background noise. They're also prone to inconsistencies in audio delivery, and you may especially notice a drop in bass if you have thick hair or wear glasses. That said, if you're looking for wireless headphones with a long battery life, they're worth checking out. 

The best PS4 gaming headset we've tested in the budget category is the HyperX Cloud Alpha S. These wired gaming headphones have a very comfortable fit and come with a choice of cloth or faux leather ear cup padding. While they lack more robust sound customization features like an EQ, there's a slider on each ear cup that you can use to adjust the amount of bass on both sides separately.

With the bass turned up, they add extra punch and boom to your audio, helping to emphasize sound effects in action-packed games. Their US&Beta; dongle offers additional controls when you use it to connect to your PS4, including surround sound and channel mixing. They also have a detachable boom mic with good performance, so your voice sounds clear when gaming with friends.

Unfortunately, their boomy sound profile can make your audio sound muddy. Their treble response is also underemphasized, so elements like voices lack a bit of detail. If you're looking for affordable gaming headphones for PS4, they're worth considering.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless are the best PS5 headphones for battery life that we've tested. The manufacturer advertises these headphones to last over 300 hours continuously, which is incredible. They also recharge in roughly 4.5 hours and are equipped with an auto-off timer to help conserve battery life when you're not using them.

These over-ears have low latency, ensuring that your audio and visuals stay in sync while gaming. Their well-built design is also comfortable enough for long gaming marathons. Using the 'Balanced' EQ, which results in the flattest response, they have a slightly excited sound profile. That said, unlike other HyperX headphones, their companion software offers a graphic EQ and presets so that you can adjust their sound to suit your tastes. Their boom mic offers a very good overall performance, so your teammates shouldn't have an issue hearing you clearly.

These headphones are prone to inconsistencies in bass and treble delivery. You may especially notice a drop in bass if you have thick hair or wear glasses, as this can rupture the ear cup's seal on your head. If you prioritize a long-lasting continuous playback time, their battery life far exceeds other headphones on this list, so you don't need to worry about recharging them every day.

Wirecutter

This headset offers the best sound quality, comfort for long gaming sessions, and a choice of earpads, as well as better build quality and durability.

Comfortable across a wide range of head sizes, this headset provides detailed, spacious sound that’s perfect for games, and it works on every modern platform and device.

The HyperX Alpha Wireless keeps everything that made its Cloud Alpha predecessor exemplary and improves it by cutting the cord and delivering 300 hours of battery life. The Alpha Wireless keeps its wired counterpart's quality build, design, and comfortability, all in a slimmer form with improved dual-chamber drivers. However, its compatibility with devices is limited due to the lack of wireless Bluetooth or a 3.5mm headphone jack. Given its premium price of $200, some gamers may be interested in more contemporary features like RGB lighting and haptic feedback. 
But if longevity is your highest priority when looking for a wireless headset, the HyperX Alpha Cloud Wireless is peerless. Moreover, the sound quality is excellent and enhanced with software features like NGenuity EQ and DTSX spatial audio. The detachable bi-directional microphone is surprisingly good as well.
Read: HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless Review 

The &Eta;yperX Cloud Alpha Wireless are the best lower mid-range gaming headphones we've tested. These are the first headphones on the list that only come in one general variant and can't connect to Xbox consoles. They're often more expensive than the 7X, but you can get them on sale now. Their US&Beta; dongle provides a low latency connection with PlayStation consoles and PCs. While they lack a base station or wireless transmitter base, they stand out for their extremely long continuous battery life: they last for more than 300 hours off of a single charge, so they're worth considering if you find yourself running out of power at inconvenient times. You don't have the option of using them wired, but their auto-off timer can also help conserve battery life when you're not using them.

Their mic makes your voice sound clear when you're gaming with friends, even if you're in a noisy environment, although they don't isolate you from much ambient sound. They have a well-balanced, slightly v-shaped sound profile that adds extra thump and punch to your audio, while instruments and lead vocals are clear and detailed. You may notice a significant drop in bass if you have thick hair or wear glasses, as this can rupture the headphones' seal on your head. On the upside, their companion app includes a graphic EQ and presets to help tackle this issue. Otherwise, if you're looking for the best PC gaming headset, these offer a strong mic performance and low latency for gaming.

HyperX is a division of Kingston Technology that specializes in gaming peripherals, including headsets, mousepads, and microphones. Their headphones are well-built, have a balanced sound, and have solid-performing boom mics. Most of their offerings are wired, though they do offer a couple of wireless headsets. Unfortunately, for many of their headsets, their companion software doesn't offer much functionality. However, you may still find a lot of value in this design if you're looking for plug-and-play headphones.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless are the best HyperX headphones we've tested. These well-built and comfortable headphones stand out from the pack as their battery delivers over 300 hours of continuous playback time, so you can use them for multiple days in a row before they need recharging. They also have an auto-off timer, and you can use them while charging in a pinch. They have low latency, ensuring that your audio and visuals stay in sync, and their boom mic does a very good job recording your voice. Their slight v-shaped sound profile adds a touch of extra thump, punch, and boom to gameplay, but unlike other HyperX headsets, you can customize their sound to your liking using their companion software's graphic EQ and presets.

At this price point, you'll likely run into headphones with less-than-stellar build quality. However, if you're looking for sturdy, long-lasting over-ears, then the HyperX Cloud Alpha S are the most durable gaming headphones under $100 that we've tested. Unlike other picks on this list that are mostly plasticky to save on manufacturing costs, these headphones have a flexible aluminum frame, detachable braided cables, and even a detachable mic, which makes them feel very sturdy and durable. You can easily swap out the ear cup padding, and they come with two pairs with different coverings, meaning you can find the one suitable for your needs. They're pretty comfy too, which is great for long dungeon crawls.

These over-ears have a bass slider on each ear cup, which is a bit unusual. These sliders allow you to independently adjust the amount of thump and boom in your audio. With the sliders up, they have a boomy sound profile. The extra high-bass can help bring out sound effects like footsteps, but it can also muddy dialogue and instruments. Their companion software doesn't offer much in terms of customization, either. Still, these headphones have a mic that offers good overall performance. As a result, your voice will be heard well.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is the best PS4 wireless headset in the mid-range we've tested. If you don't want to worry about recharging your headphones each time you use them, the manufacturer advertises these over-ears to deliver over 300 hours of continuous playback time, which far exceeds that of the Astro A50 Gen 4 Wireless 2019. They also have an auto-off timer to help conserve battery life if you forget to turn them off. They have low latency, so your audio and visuals stay in sync in the heat of the moment.

These headphones have a sturdy build and a comfortable fit. When using the 'Balanced' EQ, they have a slightly v-shaped sound profile with a touch of extra thump, rumble, and boom, which can help emphasize sound effects. Unfortunately, if you want to customize their sound, their companion software's graphic EQ and presets aren't transferrable onto the PS4. They're also prone to inconsistencies in audio delivery, and you may especially notice a drop in bass if you have thick hair or wear glasses. Their boom mic offers very good performance, so your voice sounds clear, even in moderately noisy environments.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless are another great option at available for a little less. These over-ears are usually a little more expensive than the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless, but you can find them on sale. They stand out from the pack due to their outstandingly long continuous battery life of over 300 hours, which is a lot longer than the 7X's and plentiful enough to survive multiple long grinds and dungeon crawls. Their recharge time of just under four hours is pretty quick too. However, they lack extra bells and whistles, like ANC or Bluetooth support. They're not compatible with Xbox consoles at all. Still, they have very low latency, thanks to their USB dongle, are comfortable enough for long periods, and have good build quality.

If you like to game with others, their boom microphone has a very good overall performance. Your voice sounds natural and clear, even if you're gaming in a moderately noisy environment. They also have a slightly v-shaped sound profile with a touch of extra thump, punch, and boom, while sibilants like cymbals are bright. Although they're very prone to inconsistencies in audio delivery, depending on how well they fit your head, their companion app has a graphic EQ and presets, meaning you can fine-tune their sound to your liking.

If you're looking for something in the middle of the road when it comes to price, the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless are the best mid-range PS5 headphones we've tested. There aren't many headphones with base stations or wireless transmitters at this price point. However, the HyperX are still impressive headphones due to their battery performance. They last over 300 hours continuously, which is incredible, and easily beat out the Astro A50 Gen 4 Wireless 2019. They also recharge in roughly 4.5 hours and are equipped with an auto-off timer to help conserve battery life when you're not using them. They have low latency, ensuring that your audio and visuals stay in sync while gaming.

They have a slightly excited sound profile, which adds extra bass to your gameplay. However, you can't customize their sound using their companion software since these settings aren't transferrable to this console. They're prone to inconsistencies in bass and treble delivery, though, and you may especially notice a drop in bass if you have thick hair or wear glasses. On the upside, their well-built design is comfortable enough for long gaming marathons, and their boom mic offers a very good overall performance, so your teammates won't have an issue hearing you clearly.

 The KSC75 I just decided to get because they were so cheap and I wanted to see if they were really as good as people thought they were. I'm a metalhead and enjoy all sub-genres of metal. I listen to it almost exclusively along with some modern rock and classic rock. 

Tldr: For metal, classic and modern rock, KSC75 are much better than Porta Pros. The Porta Pro has way to much bass and muddies everything as a result. KSC75 is clear, balanced and just makes the songs sound how they're supposed to sound.

 After 2 weeks I ended up giving away the Porta Pro and keeping the KSC75, which is the opposite of what I thought I would be doing. Before these I was using the HyperX Cloud Alpha, which I thought sounded fine, but now the KSC75 has completely ruined them for me (at least when it comes to music). So if you're a metalhead on a budget, I wholeheartedly recommend the KSC75. Non-metalheads may find something to like in the Porta Pro but I could not

 Even bright leaning black metal like Mgla doesn't sound piercing so I'm not sure what's going on with System of a Down's tracks.   

 So I'd like to hear your thoughts on the new HyperX Cloud Alpha gaming headset. What do you guys think about the design of this headset? Do you think HyperX should have changed it up a little bit, or are you happy with the way how it is? What do you guys think about the microphone quality, the versatility, and just your thoughts in general? Leave them in the comments down below. I'm Ibar with Hurricane-X. Thank you so much for watching

 This modularity is much appreciated, as it's perfect if you want to just use these pair to listen to music while traveling. The headset cable spans at 1. And the best part was that I was able to distinguish every layer as I was gaming, and that completed the whole experience. And on top of that, you've got the comfortable earcuffs, pretty lighter body, what else can you ask for? RGB lighting? Yeah

 What's up guys, Ibar here with HurricaneX and you guys have been requesting this review for a really long time, so I'm just going to get into it, there's no need for a particular introduction here, this is the new HyperX Cloud Alpha gaming headset.

If you're interested in reviews for those headsets, I'll leave links in the description for you to check it out. So let's cut to this review, but first, a quick message from our sponsor
