HyperX - Cloud Alpha (Wireless)

Hey guys, I'm gonna try to answer your questions in the best way possible, before that, I do work for the company that's why I got the units a few days ago and I tested myself the headset, my standard setup (Audiophile is a DAC + Shure 1540) and a Cloud Alpha 1 WL for Work&Games **Pros:** \+++ Comfort, no much to explain, most comfy headset I ever used (from any brand) actually, weight distribution on the head is fantastic, earpads are superb but a bit warm for me (stated on Cons below) \++ Exceptional detailed sound, I was totally impressed by the new drivers, Alpha's was already good, but these are getting close to Audiophile quality, I still need time to play with EQ (since Gaming headset are more bass driven) but prob playing around you can get a pretty flatish sound (which in my case is how I like to listen to music) \+ You get two playdevices on your PC (Wireless game & Wireless Voice) which allows you to setup i.e discord with Voice while the game with other one and use the dac to raise/low the volume of any of the devices independently (via DAC) \+ Both WL and BT connection work flawless, one switch on the headset to change from one to the other, range on BT is similar to Alpha 1, slightly better (mesured by going to the kitchen in my apartment, now I can play music 100%, alphas 1 were struggling there) **Cons** \- Earpads are on the warmer side, living a warm country and being summer is not the ideal, they are transpirable so no sweat so far :) \- DAC you need to get used to that, some people will end up using the basic functions (like mute) some other will profit from all the features it delivers **Question Mics:** I say mics because includes two, one on the headset itself (built-in), enough quality for phone calls but I would not recommend it for games, and the deattachable one which is a clear upgrade again vs Alpha Wireless, better quality and pick much less noise than Alpha's 1. VS Cloud 3s it's pretty similar **Europe Question:** Alpha Wireless will be available in the next few days (likely next week or the week after) in Europe (HP Stores and HyperX Stores) for standard retailer it will take a few more weeks (depends on your country) prob second half of September Do I recommend them? Yes Over Cloud 3s ? Yes, if you can afford the price different, absolutely Hope it helps!

Hyperx cloud alpha here - the battery life is INSANE.  It is also ridiculously comfortable. Hands down the best wireless headset I've had, ever. 

Depends what you value more/how much you want to spend Alpha hyper x are very practical, 300 hours of battery is pretty awesome. Sound out of the box is a lil off, but with EQ adjustment it's a beast for the price. Your mic quality will be very average, more than fine for discord but not recording/streaming (mic quality is pretty rough with wireless headsets compared to corded) Arctis pro is also a really solid choice, I think the mic is a good improvement over alpha, and while the software is pretty bloated, it is better than hyperx. If you don't want to tweak with EQ and appreciate the mic quality, go with these. You can get a desk mic but that kinda contradicts the point of wireless. I like being able to talk to my mates while I'm doing shit, so I want the mic with me. But this is also an option if this isn't super relevant to you

I've been using the Cloud Alpha for about 6 months, normally 3-4 evenings a week, charged them twice. Very comfortable and sound quality is crisp where you need it to be, not had any complaints from friends with regards to mic quality either.

Yup, I bought my [HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless](https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Cloud-Alpha-Wireless-Noise-canceling/dp/B09TRW57WB/ref=sr_1_3?sr=8-3) 3 years ago, still going strong. I would never go back to wired headphones. These things last *300 hours* before needing a recharge. I don't even remember when I last recharged them. The sound quality and microphone are fine. There might be other headphones out there with better sound quality, but is that negligible difference worth the wireless functionality and battery life of these bad boys? I challenge anyone to do a blind "sound comparison" with these vs others which have sound quality as their selling point. They are currently 30% off on Amazon, so $140.

I use hyper x wireless. I think it was 129. Super comfortable 300 hour battery life. I wear it 9 hours a day 5 days a week. https://hyperx.com/products/hyperx-bundle-cloud-alpha-wireless-headset-rubber-keycaps-blue This is the one I use and it's cheaper than I paid and includes a keyboard lol.

I edited this link in if you wanna check these out. https://hyperx.com/products/hyperx-bundle-cloud-alpha-wireless-headset-rubber-keycaps-blue I dont think they are the best of the best but greatest value and customers say I sound crystal clear.

I second this. HyperX has been by far the best pair I’ve owned. I think the ones I have were about $140usd last year. There are some headphones that are of course more expensive around $200, and I even used to own a pair that were $40 and worked amazing. I play counter strike and I rely on sound heavily, and my hyperX does the trick. Battery life is REALLY good as well. Can go like 2 weeks without charging. The bass/audio is great for listening to music too. Honestly, I find myself just keeping my headset on around the house cause they’re comfortable lol. Only downside I feel is the range isn’t that good, but hey it’s meant to be around your pc. I don’t normally glaze products cause 90% of things out the world suck in 2025, but I got to give credit to hyperX. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6499569.p?skuId=6499569&sb_share_source=PDP

I had a HyperX CloudS for 4 years, then I switched to the HyperX Cloud Alpha and it is a dream. 300 hour battery life means I can charge it once a month after using it for work and gaming every day.

HyperX cloud alpha wireless. Love them but mic is quite shit to be honest. If mic is the only concern you can think of separate microphone. For some 30-40 bucks you can buy a really good one with arm included and use it instead of the headphones built-in

I've been using the cloud alpha wireless for a year. Feel like I get better audio cues when playing CS2. The better lasts a very long time as well. I've been happy with them.
