For gaming headsets, I care about two things above all else: comfort and sound quality. HyperX has nailed both of these since its original HyperX Cloud, and the Alpha continues that tradition. It is easy to wear for long periods of time, and it delivers r...
The HyperX Cloud Alpha shows what a company can do when it sticks with a design and continues to improve on it, rather than trying to create the next best thing from the ground up. Admittedly, HyperX started out with a great design with its Cloud in the...

Fully removable cabling and smarter inline control placement, Comfortable, Excellent audio quality, for the price
More expensive than the original Cloud, with fewer accessories, Upper audio range can be a bit muddled
All that said, the Cloud Alpha is one of the best headsets for the money and a proper successor to the original Cloud. It's just as comfortable, just as durable, with ever-so-slightly-better audio fidelity and significantly better cabling. My complaints a...

Ear cups can feel snug, Microphone picks up some noise
The HyperX Cloud Alpha feels remarkably premium for a $99 headset, offering great sound and supremely comfortable ear cups within an attractive, sturdy design. While its microphone could be better, the Alpha's overall great performance makes it one of the...
