HyperX - Cloud Alpha Series

Would go for hyper x cloud wireless, its good sound good mic and not over expensive, arround 100 a 120.

I'm done with "gaming" headsets. They've all been crap. They all need bloatware to adjust EQ and get the most out of them. Logitech is the best software I've seen but their headsets are now terrible quality unfortunately. That being said if you're set on a headset I'd go for hyperx cloud alphas if they fit your head well. (Best buy has a demo rack you can wear for a bit to check). I saw them on Amazon and BB for 140. Look at the Cloud III S if you want a slightly better mic and better drivers with a bit more EQ control. You don't have to download ngenuity but it uses very little system resources if you do and is simple. The DAC's on steel series do nothing for audio clarity or gain until you get to the Nova pros which are $300, (255 for Xbox).

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 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 have alphas and I really like them but I got mine a few years ago and the quality has really gone down since HP bought them

I'm voting HyperX. I have the Cloud Alpha and it is comfortable, the sound is really good, the mic is excellent and the battery lasts FOREVER. I used to have a logitech G930 and I had to recharge that almost every day, with my HyperX I can use it for WEEKS without having to charge it. Would definitely buy again.

Brother, 7.1 surround is a gimmick. It actually makes the sound worse imo, and funnily enough I can pinpoint directions better with it off (cloud alpha S). From what I know, the driver is slightly better on cloud alpha, but it's not a drastic difference. As long as you have any good sounding headphones you'll do just fine with directions. in fact I highly recommend forgetting about "Gaming" headsets and getting good "audiophile" headphones, more often than not it'll actually be better for music AND for games I used to get called out for having wallhacks even when I was using the free Samsung buds that came with my phone, what you use doesn't matter as much as you think
