Triple'd. Good review, man! You and I have reviewed a few of the same units, now. This one is extra damn nice, though. Here is my review if you wanna compare thoughts. Hit me up some time, brother! www.legitreviews.com/hyperx-cloud-alpha-gaming-headset-review_197660
Anyone who's willing to pay 150 bucks for a headset is insane. Also, it's supposed to be a pro/competitive headset and no one wants a wireless pro headset.
The pixel 2 uses the USB-C extension lanes, wich means you can use the 4-pin jack with your dongle. Iphones dont support this at all except for headphones with internal DAC and are connected via USB instead of using the audio lanes.
I Just bought the Alpha's and It has a better sound in general... I'm F*cking in love!!! The sound is so crisp and clear that almost has a natural 7.1 emulation!
I was thinking about buying these and would you recommend them? I'm just curious into which is there any headphone static? Because my current headphones seem to have a lot of headphone static and I don't really enjoy using them because of that. So overall are they better then the average headset you'd buy for $100?
I just received my GSP 300's and man oh man, what an amazing headset ! I fell in love with it already !! Your review helped me a lot, thank you !! Your content is amazing
Probably the only good gaming headset on the market for its price. Hopefully we will see a black and gunmetal grey version as black and red is so tacky and has been done to death.
I and my friend have purchased a pair of headphones on black friday. I have gotten the hyperx cloud stinger for around 40$ and he got the hyperx cloud alpha for 70$. They both sound amazing and are totally worth the price.
Thank you for a great review! I am going to purchase this headset soon. You deserve to have more subscribers and keep up the great work you do on your channel!
coming to this video 3 years later, 3 years after I bought this headset myself, and I must say, they turned to complete trash in every aspect. The mic is buzzing like crazy, when I talk to other people on discord they say that I destroy their ears. The sound quality too has decreased like crazy. When I'm listening to anything it sounds like it's been recorded in the 1920's, not even joking. It's full of crackling noise even when I change the volume from the wheel. Crazy to think that such a good and expensive headset turned into a 1920's device in only 3 years, but I guess they're just not made to last this long.
Watched this video with Alphas :) Best headphones i have ever got, they're rly amazing after using no-name headphones which costs 10$ XD. Any it worth to buy, it is rly best headphones.
3 years and still kicking it! Still using my Cloud 1's, I gotta hand it to HyperX for the reliability. Probably won't buy a gaming headset until these stop working :) One thing to note for the Cloud 1's, the material along the top part of the headset began to peel (the side that came in contact with the top of my head, no biggie), also the material of the cushion leathery cups start to peel as well, I eventually switched the cups to the softer ones that seem like they won't peel.
@@hopzdeadpool6663 I have had my pair for almost a year now, for one they still work and feel like they are brand new, But yeah for gaming, the mic is great. For more professional things probably not. But I will say, that if you have a lot of noise around you, this is perfect. I had a generator running outside my room and I was playing with a group of friends. This generator is LOUD, but my friends could not even hear it and they told me I was still crystal clear.
Bought these today on Amazon based on your excitement for these upgrading from cloud core hyper X impresses me love your videos. You are my go to for headsets reviews.
I have an older HyperX Cloud Pro Gaming headset, which is the best headset I've ever owned in their quality and comfort. And that is what I was wanting you to talk about. How comfortable are these headsets? How different is this fit of the ear cups compared to the older versions? I will wear a headset for hours every day, so comfort is the #1 issue for me.
I bought the Core headphones last year and they were good headphones. Purchased these headphones immediately after I saw your review and they're so good! My GameStop is small and they only had one pair left. Best purchase I've made in a while. Thanks for the review!
I play on PS4 and was hesitant to buy but went and ahead and let me say ... these are amazing! Sound is incredible and they are super comfortable! Mic quality is great even when plugged into the controller. Great headset, thanks for the review!
I returned the Alpha Cloud to Amazon last week, because my ears started hurting an hour into wearing it. I could immediately tell the difference when I put them on my head that the ear cups were not the same texture and design as the original HyperX Cloud, which I own. And I'm not the only who one has complained about the ear pain of the Alpha Cloud.
I love your vids! Your review on the Skullcandy Crushers convinced me to get them. I've had them for three months and they are amazing. I especially love the bass since I listen to Dubstep. Keep up the great work! :)
I did buy them by his recommendation but it broke and one of the earcups got separated just under the hinge. The only thing holding them together was the wire. I'm disappointed because even the slider gets lower quality feeling overtime. I do like the sound of these but less than when I got them. I glued them together with sugru though so they are back in one piece. I did buy Sony's XB950BT's from his recommendation and still loving them. The crusher probably had a hit from factory so I use them for highschool since they go louder. I like them both but prefer the Sony's way better
I have been using the Turtle Beach Atlas pro headset. Has been honestly ok, not that great but definitely won over the other headsets.. except the mic is already out.. so I’m headed back to bestbuy right now to get me a pair of these Alphas 😄
Cloud II user here. I didn`t understand the microphone review. Is microphone as good as in Cloud II ? While you are playing are there any sounds of the keyboard or not ? When I use Cloud II nobody from my team can hear it that is why I love it. If it is the same with Alpha I think I will take them..
These headsets are amazing. I just purchased them and I'm never disappointed with your review. This sound is exactly what I was looking for in sound and they pair well with the Astro TR Mixamp.
Chuck Norris I used mine tonight on xbone. I did have one issue. When I exited Halo MCC and reopened it, the headset sound would cut out. I would have to unplug and re connect the headset. That may have been an issue with The MCC though because that game is buggy!
I plan to purchase a mic for my xbox one to specifically play COD WWll. Would you recommend the Alpha’s over the Cloud 2’s? In other words, do these provide enough awareness where I will be capable of identifying enemies from any direction or will I need the 7.1 from the cloud 2’s for this?
GSP 300 for the mic. Sound quality is pretty close, HyperX has a little more bass. Alhas more comfortable for a big head`s. Overall very close headset`s, gsp 300 for me.
Mc Fly How so? The sound quality on the HyperX is decent. It sounds clear and low noise but the dip in freq response around 3-4KHz turned me off. The audio sounded like it was just missing something. Sennheiser has a very good reputation with sound reproduction and was looking to replace my Cloud II. So just wanted to ask whats are some cons about the game ones?
Ernesto Castellanos Yeah Hyperx sounds "dry" to me. Sennheiser Game one are open back headphones and that will give you great perception of space, better imaging, much clearer sound with less bass response and no noise cancelling. I'm using Fidelio X2 as my main gaming headphones. They are open-back and i can tell you from my personal experience that I will never gonna use closed back headphones for gaming anymore!
This or Sennheiser GSP 300 I used for PS4 only and I want something that is very good for sound, comfort and amazing mic because I play with friends only or by myself and I also want to used for around 9 hour straight without taking them off plz help by giving your opinion
Gamesky, I see that you have been saying that these Alphas out perform the original Clouds (Core and II's) concerning sound, but can you tell me how? Is treble more sparkly? are the mids clear? is bass deeper? I have the clouds and cant imagine how these could sound better. Maybe just different? Thanks!
How's the comfort compared to the Cloud II? Different ear cup material and I've noticed there doesn't seem to be as much padding in between the driver in your ear compared to the original, has this made the headset different in comfort at all? Also, would you say these are worth upgrading to if you have any of the previous Cloud headsets?
I tested them from a friend and i can say they are comfy but they do not sound as good as my cloud revolver and the alphas are better than my revolver (on paper), plus they suck at low bass (10 20 30 hz)
I have the hyper x alpha cloud. I only play CS-go. Can’t compare them to anything since this is my first pc. But I like them. They did hurt at first. Now that I broke them in, I can wear them fine for hours. I do not have a sound card. I highly recommend them for CS-go. My set up: -8700k cpu overclocked to 4.8 w/1.25 core volt (not delidded) -EK-MLC Phoenix 280mm AIO w/cpu block (highest temps on 1 hr stress test 71 C. Idle at 31-33 C) -1080ti ftw3 hybrid (AIO w/fan on gpu) -G.skill z trident 16gb (2x8) 14-14-14-34 ram -960 pro 512gb m.2 -Seagate firecuda 2 Tb sshd -Evga 850w p2 psu -Phanteks Enthoo Pro m se Peripherals -zowie Ben q xL2546 (240hz/1080p/DyAc) monitor -hyper x alpha cloud headset - zowie Ben q ec2-B mouse (I also have Logitech g502 and it works just fine but I prefer the ec2-B) -ZOWIE BENQ CAMADE (BUNGEE) - Redragon K552 KUMARA LED Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (only reason I have this is because I had it already from when I tried to keyboard mouse on Xbox one w/XIM4 device) - zowie Ben q GS-R Large mouse pad. Total cost for everything: $3,666 My entire Pc build is dedicated for CS-go. I highly recommend the XL2546 monitor. It is amazing. People constantly ask me how I’m so good if I just started playing competitive mode on CS-go. I honestly think it is my setup.
That one is the best headset, the only downside might be the mic thwt is just decent and the fact that its spring are pretty bad and the headphones will fall on your neck, and it doesnt fit "small heads"
I have the gsp 300 right now, I prefer the better mic, and the more balanced sound. and this is coming from me having the revolvers before and the hyper x cloud 2s before that. Where do you rate the the gsp 300 vs the alphas, just curious
+Andres Preza I give the GSP300 the advantage with the mic but I like the sound from the Alphas. Now if you prefer a flatter sound signature I would say stick with the Sennheiser
The Revolver sounds like shit compared to even the Cloud 1. of course it is usable if youre not an audiophile, but the alpha even competes with normal headphones that mostly need an amp. The alpha has a low impedance, wich means you can power it with a simple DAC if you really want to. I recommend looking for a cheap DAC on massdrop or at least getting a sound card with them since you will be losing out on a lot of the quality when using them with your motherboard/xbox one. For the PS4, there is sadly no option for an external DAC as far as I know.
I bought these at a swap meet for $20 thinking it was just going to be simple gaming headset that I was going to just replace in a few months. Nope, had them for almost 2 years and it's still the best headset I've ever had.
$100 is still on the lower end price for a gaming headset which is sad when you have trash $300-350 Astros and turtle beach pro when you can get a MUCH BETTER HEADPHONE like the dt990s and fidelio x2 etc for $150-200 and they have amazing drivers with open back design and are not just marked up $40 headphones with a mic because they call them "gaming" however I do have the cloud 2 which I used to use 3 years ago before I got my x2 and hd 650s and they weren't as big of a rip off as Astros and many other headsets that have trash Mics anyways. Run on sentence idgaf but that's my 2 cents from experience of owning over 10 headsets and now 4 true music headphones from $150-$350 and the drivers I find are higher quality if you compare similar price of headphones to a headset. Love the reviews
Steven K Astros are fucking trash, I had them for 2 days and took them back. The audio is so bad you can't hear people in games for shit, and you can't adjust the voice chat without adjusting the game audio at the same time. My audiotechnica ath700's shit on Astros. They are $200, but I got them on sale for $100, and I can hear a fly fucking across the map.
if HyperX ever came out with a wireless headset in their cloud series, i would be all over it. The Cloud2 is one of my favorites of all time, but the Razer thresher wireless has been a joy to use
Thx for the review, so this is the ultimate Gaming headset even for music listening ? I hesitate between this Cloud Alpha or maybe one Sennheiser Gaming Headset like the GSP 300 or the Game One. I just want the best sounding Headset for Music listening (essentially for rap music) because you know i search both i need a good gaming experience but i'm looking for a pretty good audiophile experience too for music listening & I think i'll go for this so just tell me your opinion, for you is this Cloud Alpha the best for music ? I was absolutly sure to get this Cloud Alpha but some other review speak about "Muddled lows" so finally i'm a bit confused ...
The game one is open back and a lot more expensive. The Alpha is closed but it has air vents, wich means it will have a narrower sound stage and you will not hear your own voice a lot. A giant sound stage does not shine with rap music. For VOIP, the Alphas are much better since they were designed for it. The game one is essentially sennheiser headphones (I dont remember wich ones exactly) with a mic on it. The muddled lows are the transition between the two seperate chambers. They use both of them and therefore get some distortion to them, but the bass and highs are insanely clear. My choice would be the Alpha with an entry level DAC or at least a sound card. If you are not the type of guy to collect headphones, they are pretty much a safe bet.
Nice video! Would you recommend the Hyperx Cloud Alpha or Steelseries Arctis 5? I’m looking for a wired gaming headset that I can use with PlayStation, Xbox and Switch.
I'd go with this. Better build/comfort and sound quality. Unless you need that virtualized 7.1 surround. Chances are, your motherboards sound card has that option available, anyways.
Ghost HD kraken has improved a lot in sound and build quality.Run away from hyperx fanboys and search reasonable comparison.Or buy one,and if u dont like it,return it
Glad you got these, mine are due in thursday Is the mic better then the stinger? I've never heard you gush on a product like these so they must be top notch
Ive had my regular cloud headset for a few years now so an improved version is a def must buy for me. Only question I have though is how well does it contain the sound? Like with the regular clouds, even at very loud volumes, someone would have to be right next to me to barely hear anything. Are these the same way or does the dualchamber and airholes kinda compromise that?
From the Sound Quality... Between Cloud Alpha, Superlux HD668B, Samson SR850, CM MH751 Which one is better for gaming? I don't really care about the price and the closed back or open back things.
Doubt you will see this or even reply since this video is 4 years old,but I have the hyperx stinger and wondering if these are thoroughly better because I was really quite impressed with the stinger and won't really consider upgrading unless these are significantly better.
I have had a pair of these for about 2 years and they are great. The detail and accuracy is amazing, for the rec retail price. I use them a lot to watch action movies and I love them. When they wear out (no sign of that yet) Ill probably buy another HX set of whatever is their best at the time. They are great for music too. Im not a gamer, but these phones leave "audiophile"headpones at the same price point dead in the water in my opinion.
Btw what do you think is better the alpah, turtlebeach stealth 600 or logitech G433 or maybe the steelseries artis 5? So many headphone to choose from at that price range. And what about the omen headset too?
Hey Barak. Not sure what Gamesky's opinion is, but over at LegitReviews, we've reviewed the Arctis 7 (Wireless version of the Arctis 7 that I tested in analog mode as well as wireless), G433 and Cloud Alpha. Out of those 3, I'd recommend the Cloud if you want the best sound quality and comfort. www.legitreviews.com/hyperx-cloud-alpha-gaming-headset-review_197660
i borrowed the cloud core from a friend and they don t really seem comfortable...is the alpha like them? I see the alpha has a different sewing on the "leather" earcups. I own a siberia 100 (which broke) and those were damn comfortable...like not even existing on my head. tried also siberia 200, after 2-3 hours your ears hurt badly. any recommendations?> i might have a problem with oval pads

Made of plastic and can't touch the sound quality of the HyperX Cloud Alpha.
Anyone who's willing to pay 150 bucks for a headset is insane. Also, it's supposed to be a pro/competitive headset and no one wants a wireless pro headset.
When you bent the headband as hard as it bends I wanted to die inside
+Sam Murray I wouldn't trust doing that with many other brands
“oof”
When?
Works with every device..
*Cries in Iphone
And Pixel 2 :(
The pixel 2 uses the USB-C extension lanes, wich means you can use the 4-pin jack with your dongle. Iphones dont support this at all except for headphones with internal DAC and are connected via USB instead of using the audio lanes.

yeah i think too
Got them today, and fell in love instantly.

Dont your ears get hot with this ? I am using the Cloud II and i am curious about buying the alpha,any opinions?
Kuttel I just got mine, today. I still have my Soundblaster X G1 DAC and soundcard. I don't think it gets much better than this.
HyperX Cloud II owner here, is the Alpha worth the upgrade?

+kristoffer would love to see other colors
Justin Pullin I just want to see a black and white variant like the Cloud 1
Just spray paint it
The sennheiser gsp 300 and HyperX cloud II’s are amazing as well and they’re the same price
I and my friend have purchased a pair of headphones on black friday. I have gotten the hyperx cloud stinger for around 40$ and he got the hyperx cloud alpha for 70$. They both sound amazing and are totally worth the price.
Completely agree and that was a damn good deal on the Alphas

Gamesky thank you so much you are a great youtuber
Gamesky I will buy this because of your opinion and you deserve more subs
Khoa Tran no problem and thank you
Gamesky, I see that you have been saying that these Alphas out perform the original Clouds (Core and II's) concerning sound, but can you tell me how? Is treble more sparkly? are the mids clear? is bass deeper? I have the clouds and cant imagine how these could sound better. Maybe just different? Thanks!
Are you going to do a review on the new hyper x playstation headset?
Dis is for ps4 to
How's the comfort compared to the Cloud II? Different ear cup material and I've noticed there doesn't seem to be as much padding in between the driver in your ear compared to the original, has this made the headset different in comfort at all?
Also, would you say these are worth upgrading to if you have any of the previous Cloud headsets?
+Skrunch to me they are even more comfortable......not sure how they did it
This or the Kraken 7.1 V2?
Wondering the same thing lol
these,much better sound quality
@Slavic Commando have you tested both?
@@koyoshima45 have you tested both?
I tested them from a friend and i can say they are comfy but they do not sound as good as my cloud revolver and the alphas are better than my revolver (on paper), plus they suck at low bass (10 20 30 hz)
I have the hyper x alpha cloud. I only play CS-go. Can’t compare them to anything since this is my first pc. But I like them.
They did hurt at first. Now that I broke them in, I can wear them fine for hours. I do not have a sound card.
I highly recommend them for CS-go.
My set up:
-8700k cpu overclocked to 4.8 w/1.25 core volt (not delidded)
-EK-MLC Phoenix 280mm AIO w/cpu block (highest temps on 1 hr stress test 71 C. Idle at 31-33 C)
-1080ti ftw3 hybrid (AIO w/fan on gpu)

-Phanteks Enthoo Pro m se
Peripherals
-zowie Ben q xL2546 (240hz/1080p/DyAc) monitor
-hyper x alpha cloud headset
- zowie Ben q ec2-B mouse (I also have Logitech g502 and it works just fine but I prefer the ec2-B)
-ZOWIE BENQ CAMADE (BUNGEE)
- Redragon K552 KUMARA LED Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (only reason I have this is because I had it already from when I tried to keyboard mouse on Xbox one w/XIM4 device)
- zowie Ben q GS-R Large mouse pad.
Total cost for everything: $3,666
My entire Pc build is dedicated for CS-go. I highly recommend the XL2546 monitor. It is amazing. People constantly ask me how I’m so good if I just started playing competitive mode on CS-go. I honestly think it is my setup.
I'm getting one but wish I could get one in black or gunmetal.
Are these ear cushions thick enough so that your ear does not rub againt the driver in the ear cup.
Kevin114 Clipz yes
Thanks for your review,better than my astro(disappointing for 250$)
Hahahaha astro A40 TR destroys all of the hyperx's
PSXB GAMER are the a40’s good quality and good mic? Thinking of buying them.
I've heard complaints of ears touching the drivers. Is this something you experienced?
no not even close
hyperx Alpha. Vs Turtlebeach Elite Atlas. Strictly gaming gun to your head.
aweseome video! i'm happy too see that you've started uploading videos again.

Aayushman Verma thanks so much, I appreciate that
T-series sux
I really appreciate your work buddy! Thinking of buying these and i will thanks to your exceptional review and expertise. Take good care buddy!
Daedric Fire 10 I appreciate the kind words and I have been nothing but happiness with these
Gamesky lol i bought the ps4 version thresher at 120 euros
for wireless and buying these for wired and versatility for my other devices. 😆
Do an boxing of the Cloud Revolver!
That one is the best headset, the only downside might be the mic thwt is just decent and the fact that its spring are pretty bad and the headphones will fall on your neck, and it doesnt fit "small heads"
does you're sound card affect mic quality? my mic doesnt sound as good as the reviews on it
Silo he didn’t plus in the cable that goes into the headset all the way. That’s why it sound weird
>be me
>buy cloud 2
>go back to shop
>cloud Alfa comes in the shop
>mfw
I bought a cloud 2 like 2-3 weeks ago then found out about the cloud alpha
Fuck me.
I need a quick answer. Without comparing the price, what headset is better in your opinion, these cloud alphas, or the TB elite pro???
+zaybaby021 Alphas
the clouds in the past had major issues with low sound on the consoles, did they fix that with these or is it the same?
+xDjayMox these are much louder
thanks for the reply.
Gamesky you sure?
Thechosenone the cloud ii comes with an amplifier
I think stingers sound best on console, everything else can't get loud enough
2 years later and this is still around 100 dollars, damn
Best buy has 15$ off of it
I have the gsp 300 right now, I prefer the better mic, and the more balanced sound. and this is coming from me having the revolvers before and the hyper x cloud 2s before that.
Where do you rate the the gsp 300 vs the alphas, just curious
Andres Preza I was thinking that thoughout the video. Not sure which one to buy...
Azhar Ansari Depends if your a PC gamer or console. Majority of those headsets are very washed in low bass for consoles but work well for PC.
+Andres Preza I give the GSP300 the advantage with the mic but I like the sound from the Alphas. Now if you prefer a flatter sound signature I would say stick with the Sennheiser
Gamesky Thanks. I think I'll pick up the GSP300.
John Esgarth no problem, you won't regret it
Nice video man! I just received the original Core and reviewed it too. Great vid love that intro
4:40 And anytime you throw it
Did you use any sound card when you did the mic test or did you just plug the headset into your computer.
*pretty much last forever* How i wish mine Didnt break after 10 mouths
How did they break, just so I don't mane the same mistake. Haha
im very glad ur still making videos. live ur life man! ...
+Moeischamp thanks alot
Can you use them with your phone?
Reimosk yup
yes
not for 7 and newer iphones if no adapter lol :(
raasyidgamma you should have the adapter if you have the phones that require it O_o
Will this work with the Astro Mixamp because thats what Im going to use this headset with?
Yes they work with a mixamp I used my Hyperx cloud 2s with a mixamp
Jose Prieto thanks.
Yes
Yup.
They work great. Just plug them in and you’re good. I’m using cloud 2s with the mixamp tr on PS4.
Dont your ears get hot with this ? I am using the Cloud II and i am curious about buying the alpha,any opinions?
This or hyperx cloud revolver s?
+or peretz I would go with these. Better sound and much more comfortable
or peretz this
The Revolver sounds like shit compared to even the Cloud 1. of course it is usable if youre not an audiophile, but the alpha even competes with normal headphones that mostly need an amp. The alpha has a low impedance, wich means you can power it with a simple DAC if you really want to. I recommend looking for a cheap DAC on massdrop or at least getting a sound card with them since you will be losing out on a lot of the quality when using them with your motherboard/xbox one. For the PS4, there is sadly no option for an external DAC as far as I know.
I am debating between the Revolver S or the Alpha. So which is better overall?
Jonathan Bourne So which did you get. Would suggest these.
I bought these at a swap meet for $20 thinking it was just going to be simple gaming headset that I was going to just replace in a few months. Nope, had them for almost 2 years and it's still the best headset I've ever had.
$100 is still on the lower end price for a gaming headset which is sad when you have trash $300-350 Astros and turtle beach pro when you can get a MUCH BETTER HEADPHONE like the dt990s and fidelio x2 etc for $150-200 and they have amazing drivers with open back design and are not just marked up $40 headphones with a mic because they call them "gaming" however I do have the cloud 2 which I used to use 3 years ago before I got my x2 and hd 650s and they weren't as big of a rip off as Astros and many other headsets that have trash Mics anyways. Run on sentence idgaf but that's my 2 cents from experience of owning over 10 headsets and now 4 true music headphones from $150-$350 and the drivers I find are higher quality if you compare similar price of headphones to a headset. Love the reviews
ugh, dt990s literally sound like someone shit in the driver chamber. horrible horrible sound
Even Cloud 2 is far better xD
Christoffer Toft Persson everyone has different ears, but ya I agree. Didn't like the 990. Love the 1990 tho :D
Steven K Astros are fucking trash, I had them for 2 days and took them back. The audio is so bad you can't hear people in games for shit, and you can't adjust the voice chat without adjusting the game audio at the same time. My audiotechnica ath700's shit on Astros. They are $200, but I got them on sale for $100, and I can hear a fly fucking across the map.
Steven k do you use your x2s on console with an amp or no?
Is there a volume issue when there plugged into the ps4 controller?Some reviews mention this in there reviews. Thanks for answering my questions.
One year later and I have the same question. Did you buy the hyperx cloud alpha? Are they good for PS4? Loud enough?
Subbed... U deserve it ...thanks
if HyperX ever came out with a wireless headset in their cloud series, i would be all over it. The Cloud2 is one of my favorites of all time, but the Razer thresher wireless has been a joy to use
This or hyperx cloud 2
Kyle Cheng this
Why?
Infected Nobody these have better sound
Can't give a review of these but I purchased cloud 2s for 30 bucks less a couple weeks ago. They are fantastic. I hope these are better! :)
thanks Gamesky
Thx for the review, so this is the ultimate Gaming headset even for music listening ? I hesitate between this Cloud Alpha or maybe one Sennheiser Gaming Headset like the GSP 300 or the Game One. I just want the best sounding Headset for Music listening (essentially for rap music) because you know i search both i need a good gaming experience but i'm looking for a pretty good audiophile experience too for music listening & I think i'll go for this so just tell me your opinion, for you is this Cloud Alpha the best for music ? I was absolutly sure to get this Cloud Alpha but some other review speak about "Muddled lows" so finally i'm a bit confused ...
The game one is open back and a lot more expensive. The Alpha is closed but it has air vents, wich means it will have a narrower sound stage and you will not hear your own voice a lot. A giant sound stage does not shine with rap music. For VOIP, the Alphas are much better since they were designed for it. The game one is essentially sennheiser headphones (I dont remember wich ones exactly) with a mic on it. The muddled lows are the transition between the two seperate chambers. They use both of them and therefore get some distortion to them, but the bass and highs are insanely clear. My choice would be the Alpha with an entry level DAC or at least a sound card. If you are not the type of guy to collect headphones, they are pretty much a safe bet.
Gamesky Do You Like Your Own Comment?? 😂😂😂
+Fahed Alvi I've never done that
Nice video! Would you recommend the Hyperx Cloud Alpha or Steelseries Arctis 5? I’m looking for a wired gaming headset that I can use with PlayStation, Xbox and Switch.
This or kraken 7.1 v2
I'd go with this. Better build/comfort and sound quality. Unless you need that virtualized 7.1 surround. Chances are, your motherboards sound card has that option available, anyways.
+Ghost HD this
This. 100%.
Ghost HD kraken has improved a lot in sound and build quality.Run away from hyperx fanboys and search reasonable comparison.Or buy one,and if u dont like it,return it
Sean Sinha v2
Should i consider getting rid of my HyperX Cloud II for the cloud Alpha or not realy worth it?
Glad you got these, mine are due in thursday Is the mic better then the stinger? I've never heard you gush on a product like these so they must be top notch
Ive had my regular cloud headset for a few years now so an improved version is a def must buy for me. Only question I have though is how well does it contain the sound? Like with the regular clouds, even at very loud volumes, someone would have to be right next to me to barely hear anything. Are these the same way or does the dualchamber and airholes kinda compromise that?
From the Sound Quality... Between Cloud Alpha, Superlux HD668B, Samson SR850, CM MH751 Which one is better for gaming? I don't really care about the price and the closed back or open back things.
Doubt you will see this or even reply since this video is 4 years old,but I have the hyperx stinger and wondering if these are thoroughly better because I was really quite impressed with the stinger and won't really consider upgrading unless these are significantly better.
If you were to choose : Hyperx alpha or playstation wireless headset gold for great sound and comfort on a ps4?
Alpha, no doubt.
Hyper X puts Sony to shame
I have had a pair of these for about 2 years and they are great. The detail and accuracy is amazing, for the rec retail price. I use them a lot to watch action movies and I love them. When they wear out (no sign of that yet) Ill probably buy another HX set of whatever is their best at the time. They are great for music too. Im not a gamer, but these phones leave "audiophile"headpones at the same price point dead in the water in my opinion.
I ordered it yesterday and I think it’s gonna be a great headset!
You won't be disappointed. They are great
You won't be disappointed. They are great
What’s good bro what’s up with you
I got it yesterday it's great
I had the cloud 2 and bought alpha alpha as not as good as cloud 2
Btw what do you think is better the alpah, turtlebeach stealth 600 or logitech G433 or maybe the steelseries artis 5? So many headphone to choose from at that price range. And what about the omen headset too?
Hey Barak. Not sure what Gamesky's opinion is, but over at LegitReviews, we've reviewed the Arctis 7 (Wireless version of the Arctis 7 that I tested in analog mode as well as wireless), G433 and Cloud Alpha. Out of those 3, I'd recommend the Cloud if you want the best sound quality and comfort. www.legitreviews.com/hyperx-cloud-alpha-gaming-headset-review_197660
SeanOMatic ty for the answer :D
+SeanOMatic I agree with this completely
+Barak Lahav the Clouds all the way. The comfort is the best and the sound is hard to beat
Gamesky ty :D
i borrowed the cloud core from a friend and they don t really seem comfortable...is the alpha like them? I see the alpha has a different sewing on the "leather" earcups.
I own a siberia 100 (which broke) and those were damn comfortable...like not even existing on my head. tried also siberia 200, after 2-3 hours your ears hurt badly. any recommendations?> i might have a problem with oval pads
So how do you get the true sound on PS4? With a mixamp, right? Because if you plug them into the controller, you're not going to get the full sound...
I just got These after seeing your Review I am glad I bought These are amazing I now use them for my PC
