Cloud Alpha S (Blue)

HyperX Cloud Alpha S(blue) for gaming. Skullcandy Crushers for edm, techno and hardstyle.

Budget? - 300$ Country? - UAE Platform? - PC Motherboard if on pc (or other audio gear)? - ASUS B550 Requested Guide: - Wireless gaming Open back or closed back? - I only used closed back all my life so idk, but afaik wireless are only closed back anyways? Any other gear you own (if important, like headphones or headsets)? - I used a wired cloud alpha 2 before, it was great for me for playing counter strike, Im just looking for something wireless while still being able to differentiate footsteps locations

who cares about sound quality for gaming.. i have audiphile headphone and i use it exclusivity for music. for gaming they are too big, unconfortable and the treble is fatigating. so its best to use hyperx alpha for gaming. it's lightweight, boomy bass is a plus to feel sound effects, i can wear them entire day, and its closed back so i dont hear gpu coil whine and the keyboard.

I’ve had my HyperX Alpha headset for about 7ish months and boy do they feel nice and sound great! However they’re wired and I assume you aren’t really looking for wired. Why do you want to go wireless though?

My favorite is HyperX. The mic quality is good and so is the sound. It's comfy, durable, and both sets I own have lasted me for a really long time. I think my oldest of the two (Cloud) is from 2015 and my other one (Alpha) is about five years old now and it's used daily. I'm not a fan of Razer's headsets. A few of my friends use them and their mic quality seems to be pretty bad, especially for how much you pay for them. It would be more understandable if they were cheap. I've also heard they tend to break pretty easily. My only complaint about the Arctis is the two sets I've used (not sure of the models) made a creaking sound whenever I moved my head and it drove me nuts. One was brand new and the other was lightly used that I borrowed from someone. No idea if that was bad luck or if it's something it's known to do.

Gaming headsets need to be: -easy to drive even with controller DACs and mobile devices, both of which are very common devices when using them -durable enough to not fall apart if thrown (this happens) -inexpensive All of these requirements generally contradict absolute sound quality. There are better ones like the Audeze Maxwell but they're not cheap, though HyperX tends to have pretty good sound in my experience (if you ignore the mic quality, they're not great there).

I haven't really used a Steelseries, I've heard good thing about them but I don't use one. HyperX does sometimes do rebrands of existing headphones, like the Cloud 2 is a Takstar Pro 80 (very similar to the Beyernamic DT770 Pro) with a microphone and the Cloud Orbit is basically an Audeze Mobius without Bluetooth (the Orbit S also removes the head tracking) for less money. The Alpha and Cloud 3 are their own designs and generally also have pretty good sound quality without being expensive.

I’ve never tried the pulse headset but I gave my Arctis Nova away when I got a hyperx alpha because they fit better and have an insane battery life. They’re also cheaper than the ones in your screenshot.
