5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sound for gaming AND music
Reviewed in Canada on October 13, 2023
Size: WirelessColour Name: RedVerified Purchase
These are the closest I've come to being able to recreate the sound profile of my Sony XM3s (minus the active noise cancellation); for a pair of 'gaming' headphones that's a HUGE win for me. The sound is fairly balanced (as evidenced with the frequency graphs measured at the website Rtings) and the bass response is great - and by great I don't mean overbearing, I mean able to extend fairly deeply while not overpowering the mids.

The Mic sounds good (not the best I've heard) but is certainly better than most mics not including the Corsair HS80s and Virtuosos / the new 2023 Blackshark V2. Those two gaming headphones have shortcomings in other areas that overshadow their mic performance - of the three these Alphas are certainly more well rounded in general if you're looking to play exclusively on PC.

Pros:
Battery is flat insane - 300hours, it's like magic at this point
The fit is comfortable, with earpads deep enough that my ears don't touch drivers.
The build quality (all aluminum) feels solid
Sound profile is well balanced, and they perform equally well for music as they do for games
Price is reasonable (not cheap by any means - but less expensive than some others)
The microphone is decent
The gaming software isn't rife full of intrusive dataminers. It's basic and to the point, perfect.
Works well for glasses wearers

Cons:
Can't connect to phone with 3.5mm cable
Can't connect to phone with bluetooth

For a purely PC gaming focused headset - these IMO are hard if not impossible to beat for the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love & Respect, but Broke Up due to Irreconcilable Differences
Reviewed in Canada on August 12, 2020
Size: WiredColour Name: RedVerified Purchase
Overall Fantasic but End Up Returned

Product Impression:
- Good materials & build especially for this price point
- Great sound especially for gaming headset at this range, surprisingly decent for music as well
- Earpads are comfortable even for someone with glasses
- Mic is clear but just slightly on the quieter end even after adjustment
- Headphone bag is always a lovely perk

Crosstalk Problem & Fix:
Sound bled from one app into another - eg. music from your pc can bleed into a conversation on Discord. Spent way more time than I wanted on trying to resolve this. Found on forums that you can work around by enabling "Acoustic Echo Cancellation"

Broke Up & Return
- Not working out for me because I'm used to music headphones and this is just tad bit too heavy
- I thought I have a big head, but I still don't really have to extend the headband
- When I turn side to side or nod, the headphones slide around way more than it should.

Conclusion
Pretty fantastic for what it can offer, would love to keep but alas it's compatible with me

5.0 out of 5 stars Unleash Your Gaming Potential with Immersive Audio

Size: WiredColour Name: BlueVerified Purchase
The HyperX Cloud Alpha S PC Gaming Headset is an exceptional piece of gaming equipment that has truly elevated my gaming experience to new heights. With its immersive 7.1 surround sound, adjustable bass, dual chamber drivers, and an array of other impressive features, this headset has proven itself as a true game-changer. It unquestionably deserves a stellar 5-star rating.

One of the standout features of the HyperX Cloud Alpha S is its immersive 7.1 surround sound. It provides an incredibly realistic and immersive audio experience, allowing me to pinpoint enemy locations, immerse myself in detailed soundscapes, and truly feel like I'm part of the game world. Whether I'm exploring vast open landscapes or engaged in intense battles, the audio quality of this headset is unparalleled.

The adjustable bass feature of the Cloud Alpha S adds an extra layer of depth and impact to my gaming experience. With the ability to fine-tune the bass levels to my preference, I can feel the rumble of explosions, the intensity of gunshots, and the thumping of music with remarkable clarity. It enhances the immersion and adds a dynamic dimension to my gaming sessions.

The dual chamber drivers of the Cloud Alpha S deliver exceptional audio performance. The separation of bass and mid/high frequencies ensures a more accurate and balanced sound reproduction. The result is crystal-clear dialogue, rich and detailed music, and immersive gaming audio that brings games to life in a way that few headsets can match.

Comfort is a key factor for extended gaming sessions, and the Cloud Alpha S excels in this regard. The breathable leatherette and memory foam ear cushions provide a plush and comfortable fit, allowing me to wear the headset for hours without discomfort. The sturdy construction and adjustable headband ensure a secure and customized fit, catering to different head sizes and shapes.

The noise-canceling microphone of the Cloud Alpha S is another standout feature. It effectively filters out background noise, ensuring clear and crisp communication with teammates. The flexible and detachable design provides versatility, allowing me to use the headset as headphones for music or movies when the microphone is not needed.

In terms of build quality, the Cloud Alpha S impresses with its durability and attention to detail. The sturdy construction ensures longevity, with the headset feeling robust and well-built. The detachable braided cable adds an extra layer of convenience and ensures the longevity of the headset.

In conclusion, the HyperX Cloud Alpha S PC Gaming Headset is a game-changer that delivers an exceptional audio experience. With its immersive 7.1 surround sound, adjustable bass, dual chamber drivers, comfortable design, and noise-canceling microphone, this headset has become an integral part of my gaming setup.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeded expectations
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024
Size: WirelessColour Name: RedVerified Purchase
(TL;DR at bottom)
-----------------------------------background--------------------------------------
***I've used this headset for 4 months now at the time of this initial post***

For comparison:
-I've tried many headsets from razer and turtle beach
-Last headset was: Razer BlackShark V2 Pro

What I wanted in a headset:
-Good sound quality
-Durable
-Wireless
-Comfort for long duration
-Extensive battery per charge (main focus)
-Isn't overly priced

I work as a developer and use it to listen to music for the greater part of my day then bring them home for entertainment usage like gaming. It was an absolute pain if I just so happened to forget to charge the night before or forget the charging cord between places.

-----------------------------------sound quality--------------------------------------
-In all honesty, the sound quality felt pretty typical for a gaming headset and is what you'd expect it to be.
-This does NOT mean it is bad in any way. It is pretty good, but it's standard and nothing too crazy; certainly isn't music production level quality.

-In comparison to the razer, it does feel slightly sharper/more pronounced but the difference is negligible. The only time I can notice the difference is probably swapping headsets between an extended time of use.

-----------------------------------durability------------------------------------------
-It is very durable in comparison to headsets I've used in the past and this exceeded my expectations greatly.
-On numerous occasions as I'm holding it or taking it somewhere, I'd clumsily drop it on pavement as I'm walking or accidentally scrape it a bit against a surface. Still no marks to this day.
-It is also very flexible so extensively bending it outwards when putting it on does it no harm.

-The last turtle beach headset I ever used did not last even a year under even tamer conditions as I wasn't using it as much as I do now. It was hard plastic and the left ear piece literally snapped and was just a wire keeping it dangling.

-The prior razer headset was far better than any of the turtle beaches, but on the occasions where I clumsily dropped it against a pavement or a rigid surface, it will leave a mark quite easily.

-----------------------------------comfortability------------------------------------------
-As I said, it is quite flexible and the ear pieces are cushioned well with foam.
-This effectively means it wont feel like a freakin' clamp on your head when wearing it for a long duration where the headset is constantly trying to curl back into place.
-The cushion on the ear pieces and above the head passes standard comfortability and is nothing mind-blowing.

-The last turtle beach headset was a clamp. It's plastic material wasn't flexible (which contributed to why it snapped) and was always uncomfortable after wearing for only a few consecutive hours.

-The razer was more comfortable but the compromises that build design brought far outweighed what this hyperx has to offer. By compromises, I'm primarily referring to noise cancellation as sound would just go come through the foam quite easily for the raze; the hyperx greatly avoids this issue. Regardless, the hyperx is still comfortable enough to where I can enjoy it for just as long.

-----------------------------------wireless--------------------------------------------------
-It's wireless functionality works over a further distance away than any of the prior headsets I've used. I can go from room to room on the same floor or a floor down/up and it'd still work perfectly fine. Anything further than that will progressively lose connection and cutout more and more which is understandable.
-In terms of close connection, I've NEVER lost connection at my desk as long as it had battery.

-All of my older headsets that are wireless could barely go from room to room. The most prior modern headset I had, the razer, would entirely lose connection a floor above or below and experience constant cutouts going out of my room to just across the hall. Either hyperx is just ahead of the game or these others are settling on a budget.

-----------------------------------300 hr battery life--------------------------------------------------
-This perk alone probably made the purchase for me.
-I have NOT tested this to the full duration extent because I normally just charge it when it hits around 10-20%, but the longevity is no gimmick.
-From experience, at the very least, it has lasted over 3 weeks over average daily use of around 10-12 hrs.
-Needless to say, even if it isn't hitting the full 300hrs and is certainly a hell of a lot better than needing to remember to charge a headset every single night. It brought me great convenience and far surpassed my expectations.

-----------------------------------other quirks and benefits--------------------------------------------------
-The material of the earpiece/foam is contained by an outer layering and this layering covers the ears very well for decent noise cancellation.
-Also because it has this outer layering, cleaning/wiping it is a painless process.

-The mic when you mute via headset (there a button under the left ear) will turn on a red led on the mic piece to indicate and let you know you're muted.

-The volume adjuster is a scroll wheel under the right ear which makes the design more sleek without having a random knob sticking out of the side.

-When you hold the power button to turn on the headset, it will tell you your battery percentage
-When your headset is already turned on, you can just click the power button once and it will also tell you the battery percentage.

-When no audio is played even if you're at your desk and online, it will turn off by itself to conserve battery.
-When you go way too far from connection, it will think you're offline and do the same to conserve battery.

Aside from the noise cancellation and automatic turn off for some of my older headsets, the other benefits I just listed weren't available which just adds to the worth for buying this headset for me.

-----------------------------------cons----------------------------------------------------
-Only three cons to date that didn't really matter much to me, but should be made aware.
1) ***VERY RARELY*** when I go too far away from connection, the headset will glitch blaring the same sound loudly. It's tough to explain the issue but you can just turn off and then turn the headset back on to fix it.
-Nothing like this ever happened to me while at my desk though.
-And out of the numerous times I walk a bit far from connection it normally will turn off by itself to conserve battery thinking you're offline, but only around 2-3 times so far that I can remember has this issue occurred.

2) This 2nd issue may be more of a deal breaker to some, and I don't know if it's a common issue. The audio scroll on my headset doesn't really work sometimes (it is inconsistent). I personally didn't really care because I set audio levels through my settings, pc, and individual website instead of adjusting them all through the scroll.

3) Although it does read the battery percentage to you, it does so only in 10s (i.e. "Battery level is 40%" or "Battery level is 50%"); no in between.

-----------------------------------pricing--------------------------------------------------
-I bought this when it was at $119.99 around black friday - cyber monday time, so it was even more worth it in my opinion. I don't remember the original pricing before the sale, so can't really compare that price to where it's gone right now.

-The rounded price of the razer right now is $130 and this hyperx is $170. The greater convenience and benefits this hyperx provides in comparison far outweighs the difference of $40 for me. Unless there some other brand doing what hyperx is doing with same-better quality and pricing that I've not kept up with, I can't recommend this one enough.

-----------------------------------TL:DR--------------------------------------------------
-SOUND QUALITY is as expected and is of standard for a gaming type headset. (nothing mind-blowing)

-DURABILITY is very good in comparison. Numerous drops or light scrapes often don't even leave a mark from my experience using it.

-COMFORTABILITY: above standard but not the best I've had. The headset's frame is quite flexible while remaining durable so it won't feel like a clamp wearing it for long periods of time as some headsets I've had always try to squeeze back to place given their less flexible material.

-WIRELESS over way longer distances compared to past purchases. Room to room, floor above, or floor below all remain stable in connection. Anything further gradually loses connection.

-300HR BATTERY LIFE: While untested to the full extent, from experience. I can confirm I've gone uncharged for over 3 weeks of daily 10-12hr usage. Far more convenient than any other headset I've used.

OTHER QUIRKS/BENEFITS:
1) Foam for earpieces and above head have outer layer, making it easier to clean and provides decent noise cancellation.
2) Mic piece lights up red when you click the mute button on headset as a convenient indication.
3) Volume adjuster (scroll) under right ear piece instead of a knob makes headset more sleek.
4) Turning on headset or clicking power button while on will read you a rough estimate of the battery percentage left.
5) When too far from connection or no audio is played for a period of time(even if you're within connection), it turns off automatically to reserve battery.

CONS:
1) When too far away, normally it turns off by itself, but in the 4 months I've used it, around only 2-3 times it glitches and blares a non-ending long sound.
2) Although it reads you the battery percent, it only does so by 10s and no in between.
3) The audio scroll on the headset is inconsistent (sometimes it doesn't work); doesn't really affect you if you adjust volume through pc settings.

-PRICING: out of all the headsets I've used so far, this has to be the best I've had thus far. Even if I splurge a bit more than other headsets on the market right now, the battery life and comfort alone wins me over.

---------------------------------------------------------------
***WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN / RECOMMEND IT?***
-Absolutely, yes. I can't recommend this enough.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hope this review helped, and happy shopping! :)

La caja de mi producto llego un poco golpeada, pero por dentro todo estaba bien protegido.
La calidad del producto es excelente, mucho mejor de lo que esperaba. Vengo de unos Corsair HS70 que eran excelentes pero la batería no duro mucho y 2 años después llegue a un punto en que la reparación era necesaria. Encontré opciones, pero me salía más caro que el producto, así que decidí ir por el cambio a los HyperX.

Me informe bastante para esta compra y muchas recomendaciones de diferentes foros y comunidades me hicieron decidirme por estos.

Comparado con los HS70, a estos HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless les hace falta un poco de punch en los bajos. Me tomo menos de un día acostumbrarme al audio y después de unas 80 horas puedo decir que suenan muy bien y ahora hasta fuerte se me hace el sonido. No he tenido problemas en gaming y el spatial sound funciona bastante bien. Son cómodos al utilizarlos, puedo estar más de 8 horas diarias sin problema. Se compensa mucho cualquier falta de bajo con la forma en que controla el sonido externo (que no es noise cancellation per se pero logra filtrar muy bien), no diría que filtra todo el sonido pero al menos para platicar tengo que quitarmelos. Uso lentes y la diadema o los cojines no me afectan o cansan para nada. El peso no es tanto, así que no es cansado utilizarlos todo el día.

En cuanto al micrófono no puedo decir mucho y es que no es una característica que buscaba. De acuerdo con las comunidades y foros que encontré este es uno de los pocos puntos negativos que tiene el headset y es que su micrófono al parecer queda corto. No puedo opinar sobre esto por que no lo utilizo, para fines de micrófono tengo un QuadcastS, también de HyperX, que cumple más que bien estas funciones.

Aquí lo que me asusta es la batería.. No los he cargado desde que los recibi y no les miento cundo digo que tengo quizás 80 horas de uso y de 80% que estaba la carga ando en 40% hoy. No ha sido necesaria la carga y en verdad me impresiona cuánto dura. Solo por este punto podría decir que es la mejor compra en cuanto a tiempo de vida que he hecho. Actualizare cuando realice la primera carga del headset, pero en verdad es impresionante y no dudo para nada que si pueda cumplir con esas 300 horas con una sola carga que prometen.

Update 1 - A casi 2 meses de uso y un promedio de 40-45 hrs de uso a la semana con la carga inicial con la que llegaron puedo confirmar que son una maravilla. Casi las 300 horas de uso solo con la carga en que llegaron.

Update 2 - Problemas a la hora de conectarlo, simplemente dejaron de funcionar en cuanto se conectaron para cargar. Amazon respondio y ya estoy pidiendo el segundo par. Al parecer mala suerte con los que me llegaron ya que no veo que sea un problema comun. Sigue siendo compra recomendada!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Da miedo la bateria, compra 1000% (si.. mil..) recomendada!
Reviewed in Mexico on March 28, 2023
La caja de mi producto llego un poco golpeada, pero por dentro todo estaba bien protegido.
La calidad del producto es excelente, mucho mejor de lo que esperaba. Vengo de unos Corsair HS70 que eran excelentes pero la batería no duro mucho y 2 años después llegue a un punto en que la reparación era necesaria. Encontré opciones, pero me salía más caro que el producto, así que decidí ir por el cambio a los HyperX.

Me informe bastante para esta compra y muchas recomendaciones de diferentes foros y comunidades me hicieron decidirme por estos.

Comparado con los HS70, a estos HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless les hace falta un poco de punch en los bajos. Me tomo menos de un día acostumbrarme al audio y después de unas 80 horas puedo decir que suenan muy bien y ahora hasta fuerte se me hace el sonido. No he tenido problemas en gaming y el spatial sound funciona bastante bien. Son cómodos al utilizarlos, puedo estar más de 8 horas diarias sin problema. Se compensa mucho cualquier falta de bajo con la forma en que controla el sonido externo (que no es noise cancellation per se pero logra filtrar muy bien), no diría que filtra todo el sonido pero al menos para platicar tengo que quitarmelos. Uso lentes y la diadema o los cojines no me afectan o cansan para nada. El peso no es tanto, así que no es cansado utilizarlos todo el día.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ótimo headset porém...

Após mais ou menos 5 meses de uso, mais de 20 jogos diferentes jogados, além de diversos gêneros diferentes, e três plataformas experenciadas.

Em si o headset tem uma qualidade primorosa, sua haste inteiriça de alumínio passa uma sensação de robustez muito confortável, pois não parece que é aquele tipo de fone que vai quebrar ao por e tirar da cabeça e no fim você vai ter que remendar com uma fita adesiva e torcer pra fixar.

Em questão de conforto, após horas e horas seguidas de jogatinas não senti nenhum tipo de desconforto, ele vem com dois kits de espumas, uma em "courino" já instalada por padrão (como na foto do produto), e uma em tecido que vem na caixa, ambas são muito confortáveis, mas para mim que uso óculos, o modelo de courino aperta um pouco na haste do óculos e depende da sua armação pode machucar, então optei por usar o de tecido que não me incomodou em nada. Dois pontos a se ressaltar que a espuma com courino passa uma sensação de isolamento acústico maior, e o modelo de tecido não isola muito, se o volume estiver muito alto, alguém próximo pode acabar ouvindo.

Em questão de qualidade sonora, acredito que seja um dos melhores do mercado para faixa de preço dele, ele passa uma sensação de imersão indescritível, em jogos de corrida por exemplo, do atrito do pneu no asfalto ao vento em contato com o carro são impressionantemente realista, e não só em jogos de corrido, jogos de exploração você sente a natureza a sua volta, em jogos de ação as explosões são potentes e você consegue ouvir os tiros vindo em sua direção, mas claro, tudo isso depende da qualidade de áudio individual que as desenvolvedores trabalham em seus jogos. Visando o mundo de FPS, os passos são claros e precisos.

O Microfone é muito bom para um headset, se você quer apenas para uma chamada no discord ou uma party no PS, ou até mesmo um grupo no Xbox, ele é mais que suficiente, até caso você queria começar no mundo do streaming ele é satisfatório, e em vídeo com um tratamento de áudio também deve agradar, mas caso você queria partir pra uma qualidade mais profissional ele não vai te atender, e obviamente você vai ter que partir pra um microfone de mesa. Mas caso você não queria usar o microfone, ele pode ser desconectado, o que é muito bom.

Sobre compatibilidade, ao comprar esse fone a plataforma que eu visava como principal é o Xbox Series, e via USB pela placa de áudio que vem ele não funciona, então no Xbox seja ele Series ou One, só vai funcionar via cabo P2 diretamente no controle. No começo achei que faria diferença entre o P2 e a placa USB, mas não, claro que você não vai ter acesso aos comandos de volume e 7.1. Também usei no PS4, e no PS sim ele é compatível via USB, e todas as funções funcionam. E PC, obvio, funciona tudo. Não testei via Nintendo Switch, mas acredito que assim como no Xbox funcione apenas via P2 diretamente no console. E sobre o 7.1, se você quer o fone unicamente pelo 7.1, não compre, o áudio fica metalizado e artificial, estraga completamente a experiencia, mas pra mim vejo o 7.1 apenas como um opcional que nunca vou usar. A HyperX recomenda a instalação de um software Ngenuity para o uso no PC, mas é completamente dispensável, não tem nenhum recurso que compense.

E por fim, algo que eu gostei muito no fone é o Controle deslizante de ajuste dos graves que são duas "chaves" que tem, uma em cada lado do fone, que explicando de maneira grosseira abre ou fecha os graves. Pode parecer que não mas da uma diferença bacana, então depende do jogo fica legal com mais ou menos graves e da pra regular nessa chave. Claro, não é aquela diferença absurda, mas da diferença sim, é um plus pro fone.

Claro que o que foi dito para jogos serve para musicas e filmes, mas tudo depende da qualidade de áudio da musica e do filme.

Eu paguei R$580 no fone, acredito que seja um valor justo.
