Let's all be honest this is the best RUclips channel for reviews. He is honest and joyful and that's why we all come here although 99% of us cannot afford half of the stuff we watch him review
thank you so much
Totally
Not the best but still pretty good
@@TheTechne Should I get these or the mh 751 or sennheiser gsp 300
ikr he is
12:01 mic test
ur the man
You gave me an add lol

@@riteishpandya388 MUCH BETTER BY 3.5, BUT NEED SPLITTER?
Thanks ma dude
When he says must see i must see.
True! Always listen to papa techne.
@@benshiro5008 lol
Well said.
@The Techne which ones sound the best these,the flight s or Artics 7, or the regular Artics pros.
@@KryptikViper IS IT BASICALLY CLOUD ALPHA+7.1 SOUND?
Reasons I click on this, 1. Techne is the best reviewer, 2. Hyper X made a headset without the red logo
3. Techne said: "must see"
the stinger wireless has no red logo also.
Peter Woodaman true ! but they never didn’t put a red logo on most of their headsets. They’ve been moving away from the red though for example, Hyper X Revolvers, Hyper X Mix, etc.
0TV0 z It really was a great review!
i wish there was an option with a red logo, it would look great with my setup
Congrats, from 10k to 150k. You were mentioned by RAZER in their black shark review video. You have grown alot.
I really like this review. Unlike other tech reviewers, you explain EVERYTHING. You said everything that can be said, which is what I needed! Thank you for the super helpful review.
just wanted to say Im a big brazilian fan so I dont really know how to choose words to describe you but this is just the best review channel Ive ever seen, pls keep doing this bro, you’re the best love you man
You just got to appreciate Techne chill voice and his vibe.
Just got this headset today and am loving it so far!
Yoo, i found your channel while I was on the hunt for a headset in the $100 range. I had so many options to choose from and I had a hard time choosing between them as I further researched them. Then I found this headset on sale on HyperX's own website for $99 during the weekend and bought them. Glad to know that wearing glasses with these on won't be a big inconvenience.
Does it feel good?
papa techne is so fun to watch he is always so happy when reviewing good products
Bro he’s grown a lot, keep the grind up !
Bought arctis 1
during my research , but still watching techne headset reviews :D ,
I appreciate these reviews more than most. He actually goes in depth.
Hey, another great video yet again!
STINKIN AWSOME
The sportsweave ear pads that come inside are my absolute favorite pads right now. Perfect density and keep your ears cool even after hours of gaming
@BiG Wiz shown in video ;)
@BiG Wiz they are a pain the change out, I would just pick one that you like or only switch it up every once and a while just be careful you do have to stretch them to make them fit.
I’ve been waiting for this thank you 🙏
thank you for watching
So I messed around with the bass sliders after seeing your video because I was using the highest setting. I do like the middle setting, but did you know that you can open the largest hole halfway. This I found keeps the clarity while allowing the bass to hit while keeping the mids tight. I recommend you try this hidden setting.
How do you do it?
HOW DO YOU DO IT !?!?!
Just slide the notch halfway between where it clicks. It will stay and cover half of the largest hole.
I thought the total opposite of the mic on USB vs 3.5 connection. The USB sounds fuzzy and muffled while the 3.5 sounds crisp and clear in this review.
Are you on ps4? Is there a difference in overall volume using the usb card vs plugging directly into controller?
@@pwd1134 I am on PC. I run a USB connection from the PC to my Astro MixAmp pro TR and connect the headset via 3.5 from the Mixamp to the my Cloud Alpha S's. But my comment was meant for what I personally thought it sounded like on your review in this video.
I saw your videos on the Alloy Elite 2 and Pulsefire Surge before buying them, yesterday I saw your videos comparing diferent Hyperx headsets and now this one is on the way. Love your content!
I have the Alpha S paired with Sound Blasterx G6. Both together make it a great gaming headset! I use this on the PS4, which the G6 supports game/chat mix with the new update firmware.
Thank you so much I was one that said to review this. I got mine the other day :) amazing content !!!!👌
how do you like them? The really shocked me!
@@TheTechne bro they are amazing for me they kinda feel like noise canceling headphones but idk very comfy. I wear glasses so I thkught it would hurt me but no so nice. I use these for music when i study then start gaming.
@@TheTechne thanks so much for reviewing them
Can you get the mic working on ps4?
Let’s go, another Techne review!
I actually find that the 7.1 helps me locating sources of sounds on WZ like footsteps and fire. I previously used the separate dongle with the PS Clouds and that sounded kinda odd. I do like the Cloud Alpha S better with the 7.1
I notice my headset audio sounds like it is in a bottle do you know a fix?
@@These66
Brok the bottle
When he hits 100k subs, I’m here to say I was here before 30k subs! ❤️❤️❤️
Faxxxx
Saaameee!!!
I was here since around 25k
not saying its a competition but was here at 10k subs
Well, you can now say it :^)
What the... I just ordered it mine yesterday, then this morning you publish the review LOL, subscribed because I have good feeling about it!
Did you like them?
@@missbeaussie yes.
Been watching since 5k subs and you deserve way more than 66k subs. Actually the best reviewer out there!
Honest review after 3 days usage:
I have been trying to get Alpha s for more than 2 yrs. Since the price was too high in my country I bought Sony xb-55ap earphone last year, hoping to buy alpha s this year 2021. I have used Sony earphones for more than 6months and alpha s for just 3 days now. I haven't changed the equalizer settings.
Points-
1) hyperx had slightly more volume
2)Sony had better and more bass
3) Sony is worth the price
-sony = 30$
-alpha s = 150$
4) Both are built to last long
5) While playing Apex both were same (7.1 is nothing other than boosting the volume)
Ask me if u HV any doubts
*If anything different is observed I will update this*
Hey I just got the alpha s and the sound is kinda muffled for me and isn't clear compared to the cloud 2 is their any way to fix it it might be my settings or the headset
I’m loving this headset and I was surprised about your take on the 7.1 I absolutely need it turned on it sounds way better
I love the 7.1 on this headset too. I play Warzone and it sounds so much better with the 7.1 on than off, it's like a totally different game. Best headset I could've bought
Can you use that on ps4? I was confused about which console you can and cannot use it on.
Juan Molina I think you have to download a firmware and then you can use the 7.1 connected via usb to your ps4. I am not totally sure though
Best headset I could've bought. Been using it for 2 months and I love the 7.1 for gaming and watching films
How good is the sound quality?
How is the music ?
@@davidrzmv3052 it is really good bro. Sorry for my late answer
@@ma0_ Good for music too, can't complain
@@angelblanquiazvl got it 2 months ago amazing headset 👍🏼
I was about to buy a headset, now i get another review.
Aahhhhh im insane!
Sennheiser game one 100$
Korvus the headset is a little more on preference, for certain sized heads the ear cups on the Logitech G Pro can be a bit to big. Good headset though and is a good purchase.
Logitech g pro x have pressure issue when wearing spec, anyone help me this or g pro x??
Cooler master mh752. The best.
buy both. Modern problem requires modern solution
Very helpful on my quest to find what headset I want. Great content, just subbed!
I was really confused about Cloud II, Alpha and Alpha S before ,but after watching i decided to buy them. . They cost me around 150 bucks ,idk why the price is 20 $ higher here in India. Anyway , Thanks for the review. keep it up.👍
hey bro Myself from India too. How are these headphones working for you? Any iissues so far ?? Any other suggestionss ??
@@loneman813 did u bought it?
No bro but I wish to buy it in the coming sale
hey it's been 3 years ...what's your review ? should i get it now ?
Cant wait for u to hit 500k man, amazing reviews. Bought them cuz of u. Amazing headset 0 regrets
Thx for your reviews i was doubting with the hyperx alpha pro and arctis 5 i got the arctis 5 because it was on sale and it is one of the best gaming headsets i’ve used also really nice
Great review, I did hear on the mic test a few P and T's pops
Great review. I really like how these look. But the bass slider could of been better. At max setting could of had a bit more bass. But they do have a really clean look with the all black.
True
from 800ish subs to 67k, good job!! the grind is real
im glad you made this review, thank you!
Your videos make my day as you are so enthusiastic thank you so much
thank you :)
hi i always watch all of your reviews. One thing i must say you always prefer 3.5 over those external soundcard they offer. Ya i agree virtual 7.1 is useless. But those usb sound card has more omph than our typical budget motherboard sound delivery. We need the external sound card in order to make the headphone louder, more detailed and wider soundstage. So ya, external sound card is a nice bonus for us pc users who does not own any external dac.
Bought HyperX Cloud Alpha S yesterday, i love it! Amazing sound and comfort, mic is good. Perfect headset for me!
Bass is great??
can u tell me whether they sound good on ps4 or not....and also whether the sound card works on not......plz tell me how do these perform on warzone
@@vaibhavjoshi7756 i use them on pc
@@aby9x BASS is so fucking good, u can adjust it with slider
@@cakanac7555 Is the sound loud enough?
Wow this guy deserves way more subs. Great channel!
your reviews is so on point glad to see you in my suggestion and bought alpha s sounds so good
Guess I should have waited a few more weeks for the alpha s v cloud 2 comparison. Splurged on the cloud 2 based on your previous video. Hopefully I'm not missing out on much from the alpha s.
Yeaaaaah.. Even just the caption of the video really makes me feel if the product is good or not.. 😊 we believe in your honest thoughts..
Anyone wondering if they should get these, just get them. Their amazing. Was considering between these and the Logitech G Pro. Ended up returning the Logitech and picked up these instead. Coming from the Razer Kraken series. These are amazing. Comfortable, great sound quality, decent mic. Couldn't ask for much more out of a gaming headset. Get them now!
Im getting headset tmr and im really between this and the logitech g pro , why did u return them if u dont mind telling me
@@ecosti is it a good headset
@@sa93ahs45 fookin amazing :)
the only issue for me cz i stream a lot its that it has crazy noice cancelation , so sometimes i shout haha , especially first 2 days oh boy lol
@@ecosti you bought the alpha s right?
@@sa93ahs45 ya buddy
I bought these on amazon last night. Had my cloud 2s for 3 years, and it was time to upgrade.
how is it?
Which one is better ?
You do a amazing job road to one mill
thank you
Cloud alpha S is shipping now to me. Thanks for this review!!!
he is such a creative person man, no doubt idk how he doesn’t have a mil on his channel
what are you doing sub to his channel man
If Techne approves I buy
Keep up the work your doing great
thank you so much
Your Welcome thx so much for acknowledging my comment it made my day
@@timeboundtales1 your comment made my day :)
Same with me :)
I own the first series Alphas, my favorite pair and very well built.
will you upgrade?
@@tylancarino2959 you asking me if i will upgrade? Naw im happy with them.
Between the cloud alpha s, the new g pro headset and the coolermaster mh752 which would you recommend for mixed usage?
Best reviews on RUclips 😁👍🏽
thank you so much
Just in time!! Great vid man 👍🏻
Hello, I have been with hyperx for a year or more and I have never used the 7.1 sound card since I do not play on pc but on xbox one now on xbox series x and how they sound without that I love it and something that people do not take into account is that both the cable and the microphone are removable and that detail is very difficult to see. Possibly there are better models and other brands but it is my second test and success with this brand and with the characteristics that you just mentioned I do not change them for anything, when these pass to a better life I will buy others of the same model without hesitation, greetings.
Another important detail is that in most of the headset we have a volume controller and those things either in the cable or in the helmet itself and that is one of the most damaged things no matter what brand it is. In the case of these hyperx, this is not just connecting and adjusting the audio where you use it without losing audio quality and I talk about them without mentioning the sound card that I have no idea whether or not it increases the sound quality they already have.
Can you hear footsteps well?
Very good review! I've had two Cloud 2's for six years now and my last pair just kicked the bucket. I bought the official Xbox Wireless headset, audio quality was meh and the mic was 360 era. Looks like I'll be trading it in for a Cloud Alpha S! Imo, you cant go wrong with HyperX.
Thoughts? I thought it was worse then cloud 2
@@pvt.pingus1758 I watched a video after this comparing the cloud 2, Alpha, and Alpha S. And it showed the Alpha S had an atrocious mic. So I decided to pick up the alpha and its performed pretty much on par with the Cloud 2, but it has the bonus of the cable being detachable in case it gets damaged.
@@creedleader5583 I see, for me the Alpha S have some background noise when I'm playing at low volume, so I'm thinking about getting new pair of headphones, I've had these Alpha S for a year or so. The mic for me performed as good as cloud 2 did. But I'm happy you're enjoying it :)
@@creedleader5583 Wanted to update you about the issue I have with background noises while playing at low volume. That disapeared today for me after I bought "ifi dac v2" and plugged the headphones in it instead of the hyperx 7.1 dac/amp that comes with it.
And honestly I do highly recomd you to get "ifi dac", because you get way better sound then the hyperx dac/amp delivers.
This dude should have a million subs
I got these for 50$ a while back...best headsets I've ever one tbh
Bro normally I would be upset about a big ad, but this helped quite a bit actually. I have an eye appointment 2 days from now. Im getting new glasses. Normally just the frames cost 100+ but now I get the whole thing for around that, plus 10% off.
lol, awesome! man I'm serious here, yes it is an ad plug, but I truly and honestly love and use their products daily. I actually put up my Oakley glasses and use these now.
i love how astro a40s are more square than circle like with the ear cushions and there is a kind of thicker piece bit on the drivers than other headphones in the same material.
Does anyone know if they are good for rainbow six😅?
Best review channel in youtube
thank yous so much
Love the videos I always get excited I watch them.
The hollow sound is to hear enemy foot steps better. I learned that from my turtle beach headsets.
please, talk about volume in ps4 always in your headsets videos :)
I love your videos keep up the good work
thank you so much
what a great review. you earned my like and subscribe. Please keep doing more informative videos. Goodluck!!
What’s your top 3 headsets for warzone when it comes to hearing footsteps?
just bought it today after watching your review sometime back...love your energy & positivity.
But i felt that the clamping force is bit high. Also the spare cotton /cloth pads I got are smaller in size :(
i dont think these are exceptional...i mean they are good..but not great....for example......i also have old and cheap sony MD- XD 200 headphones (which dont have mic)...i also bought dolby atmos software...So sony headphones + Dolby atmos software made them sound awesome...and now after buying cloud alpha s....i didnt notice any change at all from Sony (and the sony ones sounded great).
Should I get the hyperX cloud alpha S or arctis 5?
same question
HYPERX CLOUD ALPHA S vs LOGITECH G PRO X || Like to make him see 😜
I got both but idk which one to return. Please Techne make a video ❤️
@@julienesilva9449 yeah
Juliene Silva g pro x sold out for me but hyper x alpha s on sale for 139cad don’t know if I should buy or not
@@julienesilva9449 which one ose the best for you?
@@julienesilva9449 sorry but does surround sound work with the alpha s when I plug it straight into my pc without the sound card
Wow i was waiting for your review on this headset and when i lost hope i decided okay i am just gonna buy it so i bought it yesterday then i got a notification with your review and i watched the review with the alpha s on and i was really happy actually with review and the headset :D:D
how do they sound on ps4 with the sound card.....can u also plz tell me how these perform while playing warzone.....?
@@vaibhavjoshi7756 i use it on my ps4 with the sound card it sounds amazing but i haven't tried to play warzone with it on ps4
@@youssofism okay thx for replying
You got yourself a new subscriber. Amazing review!!! greetings from Mexico.

I have this headset since April and it's amazing.
how its going now? i want that headset
@@hanselleonardoperalta7290 hi bro. So far so good. Very good sound quality. Footsteps. Bass.
I'm using it at series x with Dolby atmos and it's amazing. For me is super worthy
@@Polis_Polok thanks for the information bro, i already bought it, i play csgo, but when i'm working i usually listen to music and watching movies sometimes
without a doubt, best tech reviewer, keep it up ✌✌✌
thank you so much
Hey man, I loved the review. I have actually considered this headset for a while now and this was just what I needed. I look forward to see the comparasing between the two headsets, because my friends have the cloud two. You are very good. When will the comparing video be oploaded? Thx for the vid :))
no idea on the upload. I have a few vids pending in front
The Techne so should I just buy it? The comparing is just the last thing I need , but if it’s far away, should I then just buy it?
Thanks for review techne ❤️
thank you for watching
HyperX Headsets, Cloud 2 and Alpha S are the best bang for your buck.
They come with 2 pairs of ear cups.... no other company does this... (I never searched other companies, so dont @ me)
Steelseries and Astros make you buy another pair for $14.99
Those guys dont even make them come with the velour pleather cups instead they come with the Cloth cups which are more Open rather than Closed.
Nice video, you encouraged me to buy these at the end of the day.
After about a year of having these beauties I must say that I am not able to use them with the usb adapter that they bring, I feel that it loses too much quality of sound so I resorted to buying a 3.5 mm extender and I do not regret anything, the sound Of the headphones itself it is very good and with a 3.5 mm connector I feel that it highlights everything that for some reason the usb adapter kills.
This is so helpful! Thanks!!!!!!
thank you for watching
One thing I've gotta say is the plastic does not wear down, I've worn my original alphas more than not. I wore them pretty much everywhere since they're solid and comfortable. I can't say I'm exactly careful with them either.
They good in console?
@@TJzWayyy they should work fine. I don't see why the wouldn't
Dang I’m early you are the best
man i love thisguy. He talks abt everything he can. Anw i got a question, why is my hyperx cloud alpha s chat sound muffled. Am i the only one
The cloud alphas I have haven’t lived up to any of the expectations that I heard of and just today the right ear cuff has gone out
S or regular?
Regular, I have solved the problem to my right ear cuff tho took a lot of fiddling with the wire but it’s good again
Nice I need a headset so I’ll look into this... THANKS TECHNE LOVE YUH! :)
this man deserves more subs than this
thank you so much
Please help
I don't know what to choose: Razer blackshark v2x or CoolerMaster MH630 or is it worth paying more for the Alpha S?
Techne, your videos are great! Thanks!
HyperX headsets is always super comfy i swear
funny how i bought the hyperx cloud alpha s and after 4 hours techne release a video on it
Love your vids brother you are crushing it.😁❤️❤️
thank you
You can get 7.1 on 3.5 with an external usb soundcard like "Soundblaster XG 1" on these things and it also works with console!
HyperX Cloud Alpha S vs HyperX Cloud Flight S, which one?
Please help me... Which should I get? Hyperx Cloud II or HyperX Cloud Alpha S ??
You said at the end you will do the comparisons, but you haven't and I need to know now cause I want to buy.
I say get these if you have the extra money it sounds better the Mic is better and looks better but you could just look at reviews of the cloud 2
What’s up Techne love your vids
No much, and thank you
Although the earcups of the headphones are made of fabric, the edge that attaches to the base is made of faux leather, so when the head is moved (even a little), not to mention eating, etc., while wearing the headphones, they make noises, creaking , crunching, quite tedious. There is definitely someone who will not notice it, but personally it bothers me a lot. But the main problem is setting up the headset. It's not as easy as with the Hyperx Cloud II (my previous headphones) - the sound at the beginning of the Alpha S is quiet and flat. Then you need to install an additional program Hyperx NGENUITY, where you can at least adjust the volume, but it may not be enough. I've tried various additional equlaizers, but they work (or don't work) differently each time. In any case, using and customizing these headphones makes me regret the decision to buy them. It would be better to have bought the same but new Cloud II ...
Don't believe me - search reddit ... there are all these problems for very many users ...
Can you review the hyper x cloud mix? Also I recommend the cloud 2 sound card if you're gonna use it on ps4.
Just another awesome review! Do you recommend these over the Flight S? My ears usually overheat in headsets and I would love to prevent that in future (I mainly play PS4)
