The Vaper Where did the mean Discord touch you? That level of bias suggests it's something wrong on your end. I myself have used both, Skype especially for years, and Discord has been improving a lot over the past year. Skype used to be good, but it has been getting worse, especially on Windows 7. And voice chat sounds worse on Discord? Really? I think you mean to say that Skype voice chat sounds slightly muddy and artificially bassy, while Discord voice is quite clear and gives you lots of control over volumes and input sensitivities.

I just picked up these HyperX Cloud Alpha's and they are amazing. This is the first time i am using any HyperX Headset. My previous headsets have beeen Steelseries SIberia V2 NaVi Edition. The Razer Blacksharks 2.0 and the Logitech G633's. Logitech's and Razer's have their own nice feautures but overall out of those 3 mentioned headsets i prefered the Steelseries V2 (which is pretty old by now) HyperX Cloud Alpha's is by far. And i mean by very far. The best headset i have ever had. I got them today. I tested CS and PUBG and Music and A Movie. I mean gg... Also i like this Company. They are kinda Honset and they don't go like "Our headset is all this!" And then it's not. This headset is all of what they say and even more. Razer advertise their products to be amazing, but ye whatever. I don't like Razer headsets. I was very very dissapointed with Logitech when i tried the G633's. I really like Logitech as a company i have a Logitech Mouse and Keyboard, so i expected their headset to be amazing. It was Good - Fine. But far from Amazing in terms of Comfort and sound quality. The fabric on the ear pads is absolute trash and i hate it. HyperX Cloud Alpha are amazing. Best headset and i recommend them to all gamers. Also to people who say that "They don't have 7.1" To you i say: My dear friend. You have no idea that you have been brainwashed. 7.1 in a 2 driver headset is a scam. It runs through software and it is really really bad. See the thing you think you get with virtual 7.1 You already have with a good headset. Actually Virtual 7.1 gives you bad sound on top and worse directional hearing. So stay far away from it. I was a 7.1 hunter in headsets for a long while untill i actually started testing it and researched it.

Hi, could you do me a big favour and check if the headband has a bit of play front to back? for example if you hold them at the ear cups and shake a bit or hold the ear cups with one hand and headband with other. The headband on mine it is rattle a bit when you shake them.

To some degree, I think the cloud alpha had better clarity and detail, but lacked bass reproduction to give eber's voice the natural body.
As a fan of the original Cloud and Cloud II, I'm happy to see Kingston go back to that design, over their previous more gaming headset look, I would prefer a Black and Grey look but maybe later. The biggest selling point for me is the in-line volume and mic mute, this is something I've wanted in a Cloud headset for a while, though it's a shame they no longer include the velour earpads, I'm not a big fan of leatherette earpads, as they do get uncomfortable.
how is the soundstage on these, would you say for competitive gaming the 7.1 on the cloud 2s would be better or what??
Finally... The video i have been waiting for. Thank you👍👍👍👍👍
Watching this with my HyperX Cloud Alpha
I have had the orginal cloud headset for 3 years and i have used it nearly every day.. the headset stills works great with no problems! I have upgraded the ear pads and the sound got even better
Thank you. I have been having a hard time trying to find a good gaming headset and this headset is a good find. Keep up the good work and have a good day.
I have this exact headset and I am thinking of upgrading to the Sennheiser GSP 500, should I?

I've had the Cloud II's for about 3 years now, use them as my work headphones; 8 hours a day, 5 days a week listening to podcasts, music, youtube. They sound great and are super comfy. I personally prefer the velour pads on the Cloud II's. But if the alphas are anything like their previous sets.....if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Sennheiser uses the same driver for most if not all of their gaming branded headsets then change the DSP and enclosure. You really think they are going to redesign a driver and enclosure that’s worked for them for years?

Great I have a cloud 2 that's only a few months old and love it. Is the Alpha worth the upgrade?
How does this compare with the HyperX Revolver S. Which has a better sound clarity and bass?. TIA. BTW, HyperX Revolver S is around 120USD here vs 100USD of the alpha. So barely no difference in pricing.

Does the V-Moda boompro work with the HyperX Cloud Alpha?
Typing with the Alphas as of now. The sound is superb and vastly superior compared to my last 2 headsets (Sony Gold wireless and turtle beach stealth 600)....the bass is kinda high compared to other headsets, but it is not exaggerated by any means, which makes them sound way good for gaming and music. The volume can get really high. The sound isolation is one of the greatest I have experienced, I literally cannot hear myself talking or typing while gaming or listening to music. The detachable mic and plug cord will guarantee these will last years, you just exchange it and that's it. These are PC aimed headsets, so if you buy them for PS4 or XBOX you are wasting money since the controller is not powerful enough to drive these, resulting in shitty and low sound compared to PC. Better get some those specifically made for consoles. So guys...I am gonna clarify this ear pain issue that some people talk about. The headset is indeed REALLY comfortable. The ear pads are really soft, but the thing is...they may not be thick enough if you have big ears. If you have middle sized ears like mine, you will slightly feel a part of your ears leaned against the foam layer of the drivers, which I think are thick enough. It does not feel like you ears are getting crushed against the drivers tho, just like a gentle lean. Even after hours of use, it does not feel uncomfortable by any means... The problem is not COMFORT, but CLAMPING FORCE. To achieve the desired sound isolation, the pressure they put on you is considerable. At first you may not notice them as the discomfort is gradual, but after a couple of hours you will have to take them off, rest for 10 minutes, and continue. You even feel relieved when you take them off, which is bad imho. I hear Cloud II and Revolver S do not have this issue as much as this one. It is not as horrible as it sounds tho, for the sound they are way worth it. Some people whine too much. If you've got big ears...you may be well f%cked. There you have 2 options, contact Hyperx customer support and ask them to send thicker ear pads (and they will), which based on the comments solves the issue, or buy the brainwavs hm5 from amazon, which will make them way more comfortable and solve the issue also, but will slightly downgrade sound quality and isolation. I have not tried this yet myself, but plan to. If I do I will edit this in the future. TL;DR -Get them if you have small or middle sized ears -Buy or ask Hyperx to send thicker ear pads if you've got big ears -Getting new ear pads will also solve clamping force

Hey man please reply to this So whats for the headphone jack with the PC , don’t you think USB is better ? in terms of sound quality and if you have a sound card or not for the Alpha to work in the best condition ?
Since the mic is detachable can you replace it with an Antlion Modmic so you only have one cable going from the headset to the source? If so can you test it to see if the Modmic sounds better than the stock mic when passing through the headset?

Hey how much sound leaks out of these when turned up and worn on your head? If someone is sleeping in the next room, would they be so loud that it would wake them up, or are they not that loud?

Hey nice review. Just bought the Alpha Cloud too and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm very surprised no one is complaining about the lack of separate control for volume chat/ game sound. How come lower headset version had it and not this one anymore. For instance I'm also playing Battlefield 1 on PS4, most of the time I can barely listen to my team because of booming etc. Is there any additional setup we can do? Thx for the answer

Suisiders So far sound wise, better, the size can go bigger than the Cores, the added mute button and volume wheel was needed and great. The Mic is fantastic for blocking background sound. Also the Mic is alot less flimsy, it seems The connector is alot better quality. The only issue I have is the stitches on the cushions aggravated me at first, but once I wore them for a week that issue has went away. I hear directional sound better and the bass is there comparing to the Cores that imo lacked bass.
Which one should I get this or SteelSeries Arctis Pro +Gamedac????
I have a question, it's been bothering me for a long time now. I'm thinking to get these headphones but some people have been saying that your friends can hear what you're listening to as the mic picks up audio from the headset too. So during gaming they can hear the game from my headset as well. Now idk if this is true or not, the headset is closed back and the microphone is noise cancelling but is this true?
Will buy the Cloud Alpha when they inevitably start making them in neutral colors, preferably black and silver.

@@syth1183 After using them for more than 2 years I really recommend them, they have better sound technology than cloud 2's, a cable that you can disconnect from the headset it self if needed, for example my cable broke and i was easily able to replace it. HyperX sent me the cable for free! I am really happy with this headset, I still use it almost everyday. The only thing is that ear pads wore off a bit, but i would say that after 2 and a half years the damage is still minor. Enjoy your new headset, whichever you buy, all hyperX producs are top notch quality.

Steven Arroyo You still got them? Still worth it?
are there any better 3.5mm jack microphones that you could plug-in instead of the original one?
Should i take these or go for cheaper classic hyperx?
The Stinger's mic sounded louder than the Alpha's mic and easier to listen to. Voice was slightly muffled for the Alpha; maybe the foam around the Alpha's mic is the cause?

sorry but what you heard from the stinger was breathiness from the voice because no pop filter.

Sometimes dimitri is busy and and Ebro takes over, personally I like how they take turns and switch positions for every video.
"Anything that hyperX should have changed?" Added more options for frickin neutral colors. Like seriously, how hard is that.
I'm looking for a new headset for playing on my Xbox One and PC (onboard sound card), should I buy the Cloud Alpha or Cloud Revolver? I've been reading some people saying that the high impedance on the Cloud Alpha would result in a lower sound while using it with the Xbox One/PS4 controller, wouldn't it be better using the Revolver, since it has lower impedance?
Excellent review! Thank you!
Alpha mic sounds better. Great review too!

It's a problem with ears touching the drivers, contact them about it they will send you another pair of foam, but I think solution can be googled, that problem stopped me from buying them and opted for cloud 2's instead...
are there difference between: hyperx cloud alpha and hyperx cloud alpha PRO?
Just bought the CloudX for my Xbox One, does the sound quality really improve even though I’m on console? I was debating on CloudX or Cloud II but now I think I want these but first I want to know if the perks that make this “THE BEST” work on console.

Why do the stinger have better mic than Cloud alpha?
@Valfaun
6 жыл бұрын
probably because it doesn't have the foam filter, which makes the Cloud Alpha seem kinda muffled. adding a little gain might fix that

It was louder, but definitely not better. And that's ofc something you can change in settings.
Does any have play back issues? I cant have the headseat all the way up in volume because it just gets pick up on the mic.
Would you recommend getting the surround sound attachment?

Thumbs down. You are clearly not a gamer and are not at all qualified. You are asking for more bass from a GAMING headset. The mids and highs should sound good because you need to hear foot steps.

How does that not make him a gamer? He obviously is a casual gamer and doesn't care about winning or losing, but cares about the experience of the game. More bass would make the game sound more immersive, and just because he doesn't care about hearing the enemy's footsteps hes not qualified to be a gamer? What kind of logic is that? What qualifies someone as a gamer? What's even more stupid is the fact that you down voted the video for that, completely missing the point of the review in the first place. What a dumbass you are.
Could you use the v- Modo audio cable that includes it's own mic?
