HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless Review: Gaming Headset

Pros

• Comfortable fit
• Detachable noise cancelling microphone
• Extremely long battery life

Cons

• Surround sound can only be used on the PC

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is a headset, especially for gamers who value long battery life and comfortable wearing. The Cloud Alpha Wireless can last up to 300 hours on a single charge - a new record in the headset market, even if the actual battery life is less than the manufacturer's specification. Thick padding ensures a comfortable fit. Fortunately, you can easily remove the high-quality noise-cancelling microphone if you don't need it. Even in the event of a defect, the entire headset does not have to be sent in/replaced.On the PC, you benefit from DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, a perfect software solution for digital surround sound. This gives you an advantage when playing games, as you can see exactly whether something is happening in front of, next to or behind you. You can adjust the volume and microphone mute directly on the earpiece, which makes it easier to use. For around £125, however, the headset is also no bargain.
