  • Great gaming/communicating headphones if you don't mind a 3.5 mm AUX cord (feature)
Color: Red Pattern: Headset
HyperX Cloud Alpha is a great pair of headphones. - Great sound quality great for games and music, but audiophiles looking for exceptional headphones with sound fidelity may want to look elsewhere. Have not utilized surround sound in games using the double-echo chambers yet, but I can tell they are their in normal use and listening. Tones and base are pleasant to listen too. - Detachable mic, generally good at reducing and eliminating sounds that are not the speaker. There's sometimes issues with pickup such as speaking or Rosetta Stone, but some adjustments on the PC help it seem less "quiet" to listeners. - Cable: The primary braided cable disconnects from the main headphones, and has a integrated mute switch and volume dial on the standard 3.5 mm audio jack (works with a USB-C adapter with my phone). - A 2nd longer braided extension 3.5mm cable than can plug into PC audio and mic ports. This length option is great to avoid needing to remove them if you need to get up to reach something nearby. - Sometimes "too" comfortable to wear, but I can see these possibly being warm in summer - will need to find out. - Build quality looks and feels great! - Some may find no Bluetooth a deal breaker. Overall, 5 of 5 stars. ... show more

  • Reliable, durable, and an all around stellar PC headset
Color: Red Pattern: Headset
Let me just start this off by saying I never leave reviews. I'm not very easily impressed. I usually buy something, receive it, and carry on with my day. However, I've had these for over two years now, and it only just recently dawned on me how much of an anomaly this headset has been compared to others I've had in the past. In the hundreds, if not thousands of hours I've used this headset for, not once has it ever consciously occurred to me that they're being worn while in use. You slap them on out of the box, adjust the earcups to your liking, and then forget they're there. These things are so damn comfortable that I regularly forget I'm wearing them when I leave my apartment to go do other activities. I can't sing its praises enough in terms of comfort, since it feels like wearing nothing at all once properly adjusted. As for the sound quality, it's pretty damn good. I've never really been much of an audio snob, but this is more than sufficient if you're just looking for something with quality sound. I've used them for everything from games to podcasts, and there has never been an instance where I was underwhelmed in any capacity by the sound quality here. Absolutely zero complaints from me in this department. The noise cancellation is pretty good, too. I mean, it's not gonna completely tune out anything and everything, but background noise is definitely reduced. My apartment's AC is only about ten feet from my desk, and it gets to be decently loud at times. Though the noise from it is still noticeable when wearing them, it still becomes maybe 30% quieter; even at that close a range. Get sucked into a game, movie, podcast, or album wearing these, and you'll soon forget about any white noise going on in your immediate vicinity anyway. You can also buy HyperX's 7.1 surround sound USB adapter to beef up the sound a bit should you so choose, but I mainly use it for additional volume control and ease of use instead of the surround sound. Maybe I'm using it wrong, but it's just never worked for me. If you're sometimes rough with your peripherals like me, you probably are looking for something that can take a bit more punishment than most. Rest assured you won't be disappointed here, because this thing's rock solid. Just off the top of my head, my Cloud Alpha has survived: -Being slammed in the heavy wooden door leading to my apartment -Being slammed in a car door -Being accidentally rolled over at least two dozen times by sixty pound steel office chair -Being tossed onto hardwood flooring when I missed my intended target of the couch more times than I can count -Being dropped six feet onto solid concrete -Being stepped on at least two hundred different times -Being vomited on on more than one occasion, though that can probably be attributed to luck more than anything else Seriously, there are times when throw this guy around and have the headband pretzel in a concerning fashion, only to pick them up again, put them back on, and continue where I left off none the worse for wear. Every time I'd get a little alarmed at the aggressive way that I'd just manhandled my headset, it'd be a completely irrational fear. Barring smashing these things with a hammer or actually trying to bend the headband 180 degrees in the opposite direction, there's no conceivable way to me you could break these in day to day use. I've included a few pictures of the wear and tear they've accumulated over the years, as well as the lengths to which they regularly bend just to give you an idea of the punishment they can take. Believe me when I say the build quality is second to none. Now, at this point you know the headset itself is durable, but you might still be wondering about the cable used to connect said headset to your preferred device. Wonder no more. The included cable is 48 inches of (what might as well be) braided steel, and in my two years of usage, it's accumulated nary a scratch save for a small, nearly nonexistent kink below the volume control. It's detachable too, so you never have to worry about the annoyance and potential stress point that comes from having a cable permanently anchored to your headset. I've coiled this thing up all sorts of ways, tossed it into my pockets and backpack in a ball, and it's none the worse for wear considering. Even if you DO somehow manage to break the cable or render it otherwise unusable, don't worry; it can be replaced with any other 3.5mm audio cable with zero hit to sound quality. Trust me. I've checked. My only real gripe about this product is that my microphone has never worked; even brand new out of the box. I've since bought a replacement mic that also hasn't worked either, so my guess is that it's a manufacturing defect rather than something that broke during use over the years. This is really only something that you should think about if you don't already have a mic and/or will be using this mainly for games. Even if yours also turns out to be broken, I'm sure the folks in customer support would be more than willing to exchange your defective set for a functioning unit. But yeah. This has got to be the best headset I've ever purchased in the ten odd years I've been using them. The price is a bit steep compared your standard headset fare, but the price of admission is well worth it. I've used these things so much that the pleather on the earcups is starting to peel off, and I'll continue to use them until I literally can't anymore, for whatever reason that may be. Can't recommend them enough. ... show more

  • Expensive, but worth the premium. Very reliable and durable.
Color: Red Pattern: Headset
These headphones just work. They are built well, and sound great. If you want a safe and reliable choice these and the cloud 2 are the best. For gaming these are awesome, they are comfy and glasses friendly, however the mic does provide some echoing sometimes, so not perfect. They aren't too heavy, but you know when they're on your head. The detachable cable is well made, and most importantly replicable, unlike the cloud 2s. The sound quality for an average use case is just fantastic, especially if the hardware you attach it to has some sort of audio software like Dolby Atmos (they are much better than the cloud 2s for sound quality). And honestly the most important thing with these is that unless you're just really unlucky these will last. I had cloud 2s for a year and half, then the cable started to break, these though are going on over 2 years strong and the cable is worn, but usable, and replicable. They are built really well, I used them for most of those 2 years as daily drivers, and they suffered through being crammed into a school bag, going to the gym, going on light runs and walks. They have been dropped, used while raining, and snowing (with a hoodie on) and they still just work, and work as well as they did when I got them. Through rain or shine, they just work. Important thing to mention is that they do not have active noise cancellation, however if you are in calm normal environments like a home, café, car ride, they do the trick. Even on a plane ride they did okay, they just aren't on the same level as dedicated anc Bose, or Sony headphones. The benefit is though they sound as good or better for less. If you want gaming headphones, or just headphones and are anxious about the price, don't worry they are worth it 100%, I'd say if you are looking in the 50ish price range its worth jumping up and getting these, they won't let you down, and they will last. These and the hyper x cloud 2s are some of the only products in general that feel like they are made to last. And even the packaging makes you think "okay they cared about this" and that is just the best feeling you can get out of something. If phones still had headphone jacks readily available then I would recommend these for most people, just for daily general use. Could not recommend more. ... show more
