The editors didn't like

  • USB Mixer Cable (Inconvenient)
  • Current USA Availability
  • Price (For Some)
  • No software

  • 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

  • Though the Cloud Alpha S is a pretty durable headset, it lacks in a few places to justify its price tag. The bass is almost non-existent, even with the toggle set all the way to max and the surround sound is boxy and subpar...

  • The HyperX Cloud Alpha S is excellent when it comes to gaming and its environments. It is very comfortable which means that wearing it for long sessions of gaming is no bother at all. It has both the options for USB and a 3.5mm which means it is quite ver...

  • Well-built and sturdy, Sounds slightly better than a Cloud II, Fully detachable cable from the headset is a plus, Bass adjustment sliders allow you to fine tune the sound (in a way), Very comfortable to wear, even for long hours of use
  • 7.1 surround sound feels a bit gimmicky, MIcrophone output is a bit too nasal, Price is too steep for those who won't use its additional features
  • The HyperX Cloud Alpha S offers exceptional quality for its price. It's built well, it offers a sound signature that should be likeable to most users, and the in-line controls offer a vast array of essential adjustments. It's not perfect of course. The mi...

  • Great sound, 7.1 virtual surround sound useful in gaming, Ability to increase voice chat and game volume with mixer is useful
  • Bass slider isn't a gamechanger, Outside of gaming, 7.1 virtual surround sound is really bad, Mixer dangles on a long cable, A little overpriced, and inconsistent in quality

  • HyperX nos trae un interesante headset, el cual necesitaremos un equipo con ciertas características para sacarle el mayor partido y es que su impedancia así como otras de sus capacidades no son para cualquiera. Tras su uso durante horas nos ha quedado muy...

  • Très bien fini et confortable, Deux paires d'oreillettes, Le son puissant et précis en stéréo, Les basses très (trop ?) puissantes avec les glissières
  • Son 7.1 virtuel qui n'apporte pas grand-chose, Microphone toujours un peu juste, Logiciel NGenuity inutile

  • mais en retrait quand même par rapport au Cloud Alpha, Peu d'évolutions réelles par rapport au Cloud Alpha, Des nouvelles fonctionnalités pas indispensables
  • Au final, HyperX nous livre ici une évolution intéressante de son Cloud Alpha. Cette nouvelle itération reprend trait pour trait ce qui faisait la force du modèle précédent et y ajoute de nouvelles fonctionnalités globalement convaincantes. On profite ain...

  • Qualité de fabrication excellente, Reproduction sonore exemplaire, Confortable et léger, Facile et pratique à utiliser, Systeme de réglage des basses convaincant, Microperche correcte
  • Oreillettes non articulées, Rendu sonore 7.1 médiocre
  • Cette déclinaison S du Cloud Alpha original se dote de fonctionnalités supplémentaires et ce n'est pas pour nous déplaire. Le système de réglage des basses est très convaincant une fois qu'on y a goûté. La présence de coussinets en plus en tissus permet d...
