Cloud Alpha Wired Gaming Headset (HX-HSCA-RD/AM, 4P5L1AA#ABL)

Which do you have? My cloud alpha revolvers have excellent mic monitoring.

Best value for money is hyperx cloud series

This. Or the wired hyperx cloud alpha, often £50 on Amazon UK. I've tried DOZENS of sets, some cheaper, some dearer but I just. keep. coming. back. to. the hyperx.

HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless is popular, I have an Alpha wired that I use for gaming and it’s great, or you can also check out the Cloud III wireless. The overall most popular one is the Audeze Maxwell, they’re supposedly really good in almost every way, only downside I’ve heard is that it’s heavy for some people. Best bang for your buck would be the Drop x Sennheiser PC38X, it’s wired, but it’s also open-back, which means larger soundstage and more immersive sound, at the cost of noise isolation. It also has probably one of the best mics on a headset. If you want open-back but wireless, then consider checking out the Turtle Beach Atlas Air. Another well-liked choice is the Arctis Nova 7.

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.

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.
