"Extremely comfortable ... my ears were never hurting, unless the pads go all squishy and bad."
"and is extremely comfortable on my opinion. ... The Alpha's exceptional comfort alone makes it preferable over budget IEMs or budget headphones like the JT1 and M30X. ... probably the Alpha as it is really comfortable."

"Sound wise, they are good. ... Works well for music but they shine in gaming. ... Very clear position of sound and i found myself turning my head in CSGO purely based on sound, so i guess they are accurate."
"It has surround sound, I also play CS2 constantly and it’s incredible for hearing footsteps."
"Love hyper x cloud alpha. I find the dual drivers sound way better than Steel artis i returned a pair of arctis for that reason, music sounded meh, and then hyper x surprised me."

"with EQ adjustment it's a beast for the price."
"They are normally 99 but can catch them on sale for about 75 most of the time and they last roughly 2 years. I always have a brand new pair sitting in my closet cause I just order an extra when I catch them on sale. ... Honestly for good headphones that are comfortable and last 2 years I feel like 75 isn't really that bad."

"that was what keeps failing on a lot of my headsets (rest in piss hyperx cloud alpha)"
"Mic quality is the worst on the headset ... better to buy a stand alone mic if you need mic quality."
"Your mic quality will be very average, more than fine for discord but not recording/streaming"

"Because of the shape of my head, I can use for 1 hour max, before the pain on the top of my head becomes unbearable."
"tightness on my ears"
"due to the sturdiness of the materials, they were a bit tight initially, but I took someone recommendation to "stretch" them by putting them on a basketball for a few days (or something similar in size to force the band open wider) and it worked out perfectly"

"the alphas have pretty bad range."
"didn’t have Bluetooth. So you couldn’t connect it to a phone or other devices without the dongle"
"Wireless range is... middling. ... I've had others that can go anywhere in my house, this one can easily go one room over, two is hit or miss."
