  • Bass sliders feel gimmicky
  • Aggressive and unpleasant 7.1 virtual surround sound
  • Awkward mixer
  • Metallic surround sound
  • Weak bass
  • Lacks high-frequency finesse
  • Simulated surround effect isn't very compelling
  • Bass sliders don't add much thump
  • Virtual surround sound isn't great for music
  • The cord is too long for the remote
  • Some optional customization software would be nice
  • The bass slider feels like an unnecessary gimmick
  • Virtual 7.1 surround sound makes almost everything sound worse
  • Making it a pointless feature at best
  • Only hardware
  • Limiting your options
  • Microphone
  • Less accurate than the regular Cloud Alpha
  • No inline controls for console gaming
  • Companion app not entirely useful

  • Expensive, Limited surround sound use with consoles
  • The HyperX Cloud Alpha S is an excellent headset for both PC gaming and with the Xbox One X. If you mainly use a PS4 or Nintendo Switch, you'll still get great audio, but you won't be able to take advantage of the 7.1 CH virtual surround sound...
