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

Cloud alpha, especially when £50 on Amazon

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.

I have the regular cloud alpha wired version. Its pretty good. I can imagine the wireless one may be a bit heavier but other than that im sure its great. Its by no means exotic but it works great and im sure hell love it.

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.

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

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

It's all relative. Considering his restrictions, I'm guessing he's found a cheap thrift store and that's his selection. A HyperX Cloud Alpha or G Pro X may be bad products at $150, but at $20 they're both excellent headsets.

No problem. The G Pro X has better directional audio for shooters but the Alphas sound better overall and is extremely comfortable on my opinion. 

If those are your only option I'd take either the Cloud Alpha or G Pro X, probably the Alpha as it is really comfortable. As other's have said though, none of these are particularly good. Unlike what others have said, there are good gamer brand headsets out there like the LucidSound LS50x, Logitech G Pro X 2, Astro A50, a few EPOS models. They're just generally overpriced. Like the G Pro X 2 is a really good $100 headphone with a $20 mic selling for $250. The LucidSounds are a bit pricy new but very cheap on the used market. The LS50x or the little brother LS35x can be found used for under $60 and $40 respectively and will beat anything on your list. Sennheiser Game One's can be found for under $60 and are another step higher, they're the headset version of the HD 598. In general, you can almost always buy a new headphone of equal or better quality + a desktop mic for a lot less money than a new headset. The main exception is the Audeze Maxwell which is frankly way better than standalone wireless headphones at its price. The PC38x is also competitively priced on sale, it's right between the HD 599 and HD 560S in quality.

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

Exclusively out of these options, I’d get the HyperX Cloud III wired and call it a day. Cloud Alpha is good if you want a lot of bass but I personally don’t like the bass drowning out the other frequencies, which it does from my years of using it.

I had a HyperX Cloud II Wired headset which I loved. Eventually I wanted to go wireless and swapped to another (more pricey!) brand. I had several problems with it and honestly it was much less comfortable for my head. I missed my HyperX, so I bought the Cloud Alpha hoping it was essentially a wireless Cloud II. It is exactly that. I absolutely love it. The only way I would not recommend the headset is if you have above average sized ears. They fit a little smaller than many other headsets.

Cloud Alpha is the only decent one here, the rest are meh and Razer audio products are actually awful. There are better options than these that cost far less.

They're right. That's why I said all their new products are bad. But Cloud 2 and Alpha were made before the acquisition. Their newer iterations may be less durable and feel cheaper but they still retain the same sound. That is to say, decent overall, very good when compared to other gaming headphones. The Alpha especially.
