Product details

The 50 mm neodymium magnet drivers of the HyperX Cloud Alpha deliver excellent sound quality in the high and mid ranges, as well as powerful bass. The closed design of the ear cups, combined with the over-ear padding, provides outstanding sound isolation, allowing you to focus on what you want to hear without being disturbed by outside noise. This makes the headset an excellent choice for gamers who want to fully immerse themselves in the gaming world.

The ear cups of the HyperX Cloud Alpha are padded with memory foam, which always returns to its original shape and offers high durability. The sturdy aluminum headband allows for size adjustment of the headset for a secure fit and high comfort. With a total weight of only 336 grams, the HyperX Cloud Alpha remains comfortable to wear even after several hours. A volume control with a mute switch for the microphone is integrated into the cable.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha features an excellent condenser microphone located on the left ear cup, which is detachable. The unidirectional microphone ensures natural-sounding, clear voice transmission and very good shielding against distracting background noise. The also detachable connection cable is fabric-wrapped, 1.3 meters long, and equipped with a 4-pole jack plug. A 2-meter adapter cable splits the signal into a 3.5 mm microphone jack and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, extending the total cable length to 3.3 meters.

The Cloud Alpha Wireless from HyperX can outdo its little brother, the HyperX Cloud II, even at the first test listening. The bass of the gaming headset sounds a lot crisper, the stage is wider and even the slightly distorted treble of the Cloud II is reproduced more clearly - regardless of the volume...

    The sound is well-balanced and natural without being boring due to its pedantic-acute coolness. And the microphone also does a first-class job for the price range: the voice is recorded full-toned and clean, the low-cut is only effective relatively low in the frequency band, so that the voice seems warmer and deeper compared to many other headsets, the intelligibility and naturalness are very high,...
