HyperX - Cloud Alpha S (4P5L3AA, 4P5L2AA, 4P5L1AA, HX-HSCA-RD/AS, etc.)

My headphones' left side doesn't work, unless when used with a audio to USB C adaptor with my phone. For whatever reason, it doesn't work with the split headset/microphone one, combined ones, or USB to headset/microphone adaptor. HyperX model number MSIP REM K98 CR I don't remember the regular name. HyperX Cloud Series S or something like that.

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.

Logitech G Pro X (wired) EPOS H6PRO (open or closed) HyperX Cloud Alpha (or Cloud Stinger 2 if on tighter budget) SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 (wired USB‑C) the EPOS H6PRO is the strongest single recommendation. If you want to save more cash but still avoid trash mics, the Logitech G Pro X (wired) is the next best bet, especially if PC play and Discord are a big part of your usage.

I've had a pair of HyperX cloud alpha's for 6 or 7 years now, they still work flawlessly.

Razer BlackShark V2 X Logitech G PRO X 7.1 SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless 7.1 SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 7.1 SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1P 7.1 SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1X 7.1 HyperX Cloud III HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless HyperX Cloud Alpha Corsair HS55 Wireless 7.1 Budget = No specific budget just one of these on top Location = Somewhere UK I dont have any budget i just have these options on top which one of these headphones is the best for gaming?

Thanks but these are all the same price so still cloud alpha wins? And why are others so bad?? Still thanks

I saw things like logitech g pro x being better than alpha and cloud 2 and both are same generation also they say g pro x is closer to studio headphones what do you think about this?

I ended up purchasing logitech g pro x since its closes to studio level headphone and its insane i tried every single one on the list and most professional and advanced feeling + quality was on logitech g pro x and hyperx clould alpha but i prefer logitech because of blue voice and hyperx being bought by HP is bad thats why out of them all best is logitech g pro x

Second this! I’ve had my cloud alphas for over 5 years. I use them daily and they still sound and work great.

I just recently got mine with the Topping DX1 and it's been amazing! I did have to get the headphones replaced once but it seems to be perfect with my second unit. My previous headset was HyperX Cloud Alpha so these are such a huge upgrade.

On the cheaper end, Hyperx cloud alpha. Had plastic bands prior that'd eventually snap. These Cloud Alphas are mostly metal, I've had something like 8 yrs. Cup pads were replaced twice, just randos off Amazon...

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.

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.
