HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless - Gaming Headset for PC, 300-hour battery life, DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, Memory foam, Dual Chamber Drivers, Noise-cancelling mic, Durable aluminium frame

I bough them a month ago and upon the order delivery the battery was at 70%. After a month of playing (usually every day for a couple of hours) the battery is at 50% (I didn't charge them even once yet). I've heard the battery is good, but honestly I wouldn't dream of that good. I'm using those headphones mainly for CSGO game and they are great. I always know where the enemy is coming from. Compared with SteelSeries 7 that I've used before, I feel that HyperX headphones are slightly better in competitive FPS games. It's worth noting, that the microphone is also great and its noise cancellation is doing a great job. I'm sitting very close to my partner when playing games (we're about 1.5 meter apart with the monitors in-between us) and my mic is not picking his voice, which is great. Also, they are so comfortable! In my previous headphones, my ears felt stiff after a few games. In those I can play a while night and there's no ear pain at all. Theres only one downside I've noticed. If the mic is muted, the red light on it will turn on, which is great. But the mic has a tendency of falling out of its socket (it's falling enough for the lighting to stop working, but not enough for the mic to stop working), which is slightly annoying. But it's not happening very often and only when moving the mic a lot. Whenever I'll notice that the light is off all the time I'm just trying to re-attach it properly and so far it's working fine. So far it happened 3 times. The design is cool, you can feel the high quality build. The metal parts used in the design are really robust and they don't feel like you could bend them (even though those are so thin). So overall I'm very happy with the buy, it was really worth the money. I guess those are not one of the cheapest headphones, but your getting many extra features which are worth it. And did I say it already? The battery!

I had one of these on launch that broke, and since tried the Audeze Maxwell, Logitech Astro A50, Razer Blackhawk V4, and the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro. Mid 2026 and I've come back to these as the best compromise of all factors. + Well rounded sound (not tinny like the Razer, not as good as the Astro) + Outstanding battery life, nothing comes close + 10/10 comfort, ear cup fit. You don't realise how much lightness matters til you've tried a headset that weighs twice as much + Simple, robust build and feature set. Doesn't require any software to use full functionality + Decent sidetone/mic monitoring option (hold down the mute button for a few seconds) ~ Okay microphone, acceptable but I think all rivals were better - Not a fan of the red and black colourway but given all the positives I can live with it

I have gone through many headsets over the years, from many different brands and I have to say that these are my absolute favourite. i've had two pairs since 2022, and the only reason I had to replace my first pair is because I had broken the USB bluetooth connector (not because of any build quality reasons, accidentally flung my laptop across my room and it happened to land on the side where it was plugged in, which snapped it in half.) I can 100% confirm they aren't lying about the battery life. I use these for minimum 7 hours a day, and frequently up to 14 or so hours in a day, and even with that I charge them maybe once a month, and most of the time I don't even fully charge them, usually to around 40-60%, just because I usually have them charging while I use them, and having the cable attached annoys me. The build quality is great. A lot of my previous headsets have been lost due to me accidentally stepping on them (dont question how) But I can confirm that even with me stepping on these a couple times, theyve held up great. The only thing that comes close to a drawback with the build quality comes in the plastic blocks on either end of the headband, and the leather on the underside of the headband and the earmuffs. With the plastic blocks, a piece has cracked off on once side, and there is a crack that has formed on the other side. Although, this is likely more due to me being a bit heavy handed, and/or clumsy with them. Then, with the fake leather, after over 2 years of daily use, it has started to peel and flake away, but that is to be expected with any headset that sees this much use, and im surprised it took as long as it did to start showing wear. Onto the functions of the headset itself, the buttons are easy to operate - a simple power button and mic mute on the left, and a volume dial on the right. Not much more to say on those, other than they are positioned in pretty intuitive places. Although I don't use the mic included anymore, (upgraded when I moved from laptop to a PC) I did use it for a while and can say that I never had any issues with it. I wouldnt expect to be landing any voice acting roles with it, but it is certainly clear enough to not cause the ears of those listening to you to bleed. The microphone is adjustable too, and it holds the position you put it in pretty well. In terms of sound quality - I've never been too fussy about sound quality, as long as it doesnt sound terrible im happy, and this does that just fine. I frequently use it for gaming, especially games where sound cues are important, and I've never had any issues. It also can get pretty loud Lastly, this is an incredibly comfortable headset. The weight is good, and it isnt too tight. I personally like to listen to music when I sleep, and have slept in these just fine on multiple occasions. Overall, 100% worth the money. I believe you would have to search quite hard to find an equivalent headset at the same price

Lasted over 6 weeks before I needed to charge it, that's with pretty heavy use. It's comfortable for long periods (even wearing glasses) and the range is ridiculous, it reaches pretty much anywhere in the house. My main complaint is that the power indicator noises are uncomfortably loud regardless of what volume you have the headset on. There is an option in the software to replace the 'power on' voice with some beeping, these beeps are much shorter but are still too loud and a lot more jarring. The headset turning off to save power has startled me multiple times. Admittedly I am quite sensitive to loud sounds, but still, it's frustrating that this issue seems so easily avoidable. There's no reason for those noises to be as loud as they are. The software is also pretty bad. The basic settings like the power indicator sounds and the power saving options seem to work, but the rest of it (equaliser, DTS spatial sound etc.) wouldn't work for me even after installing the drivers. I didn't buy the headset for those features though so I didn't spend much time trying to troubleshoot that. I have a standalone mic so I can't comment on the quality of the one included with this headset, but you don't need to even plug it in to the headset if you don't want to use it which is a huge plus for me. Overall it's a great headset, just be aware the software lets it down.

Pros: - Killer battery life - Comfortable - Solid sound quality - DTS - Works with PC / PlayStation console Cons - A tad pricey - Not the best microphone - Not as versatile - Software buggy - Doesn't work with Xbox console I just purchased the HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless headset from black Friday sale. I feel I need to leave a detailed review so people can get a better understanding on these headset. Be aware! Amazon made a mistake in "details" on the product, states 2 years licence only for the DTS, this is false, it is lifetime (contacted HyperX to confirm). Due to being visually impaired, when I first used the headset I struggled defining the difference between the left and right earcup, I would recommend braille or another way to determine the difference. Battery The main selling point of the Cloud Alpha Wireless is its killer battery life with 300 hours on a single charge. While using the headset it lasted me two days without having to re-charge the battery, even when playing games all day. Comfort, design, and build quality While superb battery life alone doesn't make a great headset, and those using headset during a long gaming session will agree that comfort might be even more important. Over the past years I've tested many headphones that felt great at first then after a few hours of use, the discomfort beings. These headset is so comfortable but not the lightest on the market, however, you can get cooling gel earpad options. I would recommend purchasing extra pads with cooling-gel, this is to make the headset more comfortable if you don't like breathable leather or sweat a lot. Design-wise, is exactly, the same feel to the wired version, although it's slightly larger, but, the new wireless model doesn't fold and the earcups cannot be turned. The build quality of the headset is what users can expect from HyperX cloud series, solid build headset with durable and reliable materials, with easy to adjust fitting for your liking. Sound performance Majority of HyperX headsets, sound quality is pretty great, offering a varied soundscape with plenty of separation, especially when used in games. Unfortunately again, the bass appears to be slightly boosted sometimes, but the lowers don't drown out the less distant sounds. Sound isolation is excellent as expected on the product. Sound customization options through the HyperX NGenuity software are decent enough, including EQ presents and a DTS Spatial sound feature, be WARNED this doesn't carry over for PlayStation players and compared to the software of some other brands. The only issue I occurred while using these headsets is the DTS sometimes not working and the headset cutting out every time I launch a new game or alt-tab out of the game, however, this could be down to Call Of Duty Warzone. Closing thoughts I would recommend this headset to gamers out there, especially if want a good immersion into the games.

I live in a small town in the UK. During a named storm we experienced a power outage, but it wasn’t a problem. I called the power company and told them I had the solution. We hooked up these headphones to the grid and powered the whole town for 4 days and the battery only went down to 89%!!! Hyperx saved the whole town from eternal darkness and misery! Oh, they are also super comfortable and sound great. I would recommend swapping out the ear ups for a set of soulwit cooling pads, about £15 on Amazon, they are fiddly to fit, but are definitely an upgrade as the ‘leather’ on these will start to flake eventually. I just purchased my second pair recently, only because one of my cats chewed through one of the cables. They are too good to throw away so I’m going to attempt a DIY repair and hopefully my son can use my original pair. I had the originals for around 3 years and had no sign they were ever going to give up. I’m tempted to buy another (third) set to keep in case of more cat shenanigans or if they do break, because I’ve found my PC headset for life and I don’t know what I’d go for if they were ever discontinued. ***Not recommended as a cat toy.

Extremely pleased with this purchase. To keep things simple: - Sound is amazing (Good bass and audio quality) - Connectivity is instant (to the PC can't say for consoles) - PC HyperX application is super easy to use and install - The battery genuinely feels like it lasts forever, I have really tested the 300 hour limit yet but so far I've had a few 2-3 hour gaming sessions and the battery was around 92-5%. - Connectivity wise you can use both wired and wireless but the 2.4ghz recover is good - Unboxing and quality of this product is pretty good, the feeling of the headphones is very premium and they are pretty comfortable. - Bought these Headphones on sale for £79, So value for money is absolutely crazy good. I cannot speak for the original price value but for my purchase is very good.

I got these headphones primarily for work, as I wanted a wireless headset (mic necessary) with the longest battery life possible so that I didn't need to worry about charging them. I have not been able to test the entire length of the battery life yet so I can't speak to that but I have no reason to believe that all the other reviews that say it really is as long as the claimed life would be lying. This is immediately a huge selling point over other wireless headsets that don't even come close to that kind of battery life. There are however other issues with the headset that I can comment on. Starting off with by far the biggest issue: there is NO other form of connectivity than the provided USB connector. So no bluetooth, no 3.5mm, and you can't even use it while they are charging. This is a huge negative overall. With a headset with an integrated battery, EVENTUALLY, that battery will stop holding a charge, at that point the whole headset becomes E-waste as there is no other way you can use it besides battery power. The replacement process may not be that difficult but that doesn't permit this behaviour. And no, the warranty wouldn't cover it for that length either. Besides that problem, it's also just disappointing I can't easily use it on any device that doesn't have a full sized USB port, i.e. my phone. Adding bluetooth may have impacted the overall battery life this headset has but there should be ways to design a product that minimises that impact, which they have already done with the rest of the components in here. Audio quality is a somewhat subjective thing, so take this with a grain of salt, but overall the audio performance of this headset is good. At the end of the day however, these are a closed-back set of headphones, which (IMO) always sounds worse than open-back headphones. DTS spatial audio does a good job of making up for the lost sound-space - it picks up small sound details in games really well - but everything tends to sound especially bass-y which is unavoidable with a closed-back design. Again this is subjective, frankly a lot of bass in games can be fun, but when it comes to music or any other media, it's not what I prefer. Comfort wise, they're good, but not perfect (again this is slightly subjective). It's about the same experience I had with my first gen wired cloud's. They don't put any particular strain on my head, however once in a while I'll just have to take the ear cups of my ear to let it breathe for a minute. This is even with a more breathable velour material ear cup that I have for them, not the leatherette ones it comes with. My HD599's I can wear indefinitely with no comfort issues. The microphone is sub par. It really doesn't sound much better than the original HyperX cloud's, and it's quite quiet, however it has the limitation of being a tiny mic attached to a headset, so not much more can be expected. The closed back design provides an amount of passive noise isolation that may be important to some people, but it's important to note that there's no active noise isolation of any kind, which can now be found on even much cheaper headsets. And that leads me to my final point. This headset is EXPENSIVE. I got them for £111 on sale, but they're usually £160-£190 on here. That's about the same as what my much better sounding (but non-wireless and no mic) HD599's cost. That's a considerable amount of money, and considering all the features you're missing on here, you're giving up a lot solely for the battery life. As mentioned however, that battery life is a key selling point that no other wireless headset on the market provides, so if it's REALLY what you need, it's your only option. However I would suggest looking in to other headsets below and around this price range if you think you can settle for charging them once a week.

While these aren't perfect, I'm giving 5* because I can't find a better value. I used to LOVE the SteelSeries Arctis 7 wireless line until they betrayed their user base with the + line. I am so happy I found HyperX Clouds because they are an amazing replacement. The Arctis + series cheaped out and added software based controls which were super laggy, froze all the time, needed a constant reset (done w/ an ejector needle under the earpad), and the HyperX Cloud sounds just as good with none of these issues! The headset batteries last a week or more before needing charging. Charge them when in the shower, sleeping, out of the house, and they just never die. They do also annoy you about low battery so you don't forget to charge before it's too late. Very comfortable to wear. The adjustability wears out after about 3-years (and slips), but they're such a good value I'd buy again (and I did after 3-years). One suggestion is to disable the horrendous Windows settings for Spatial Sound. They are garbage. You can mess with the HyperX software and see if you like the dtsx spatial sound but I have it disabled personally. One downside is that it does require software for full functionality, but the software is super lightweight. The range is also great. It has a USB dongle for connection. I can go into other rooms and it works perfectly fine. Also charging is USB-C, so that's a nice bonus. Overall I'm super happy with the quality. My only complaint is that HyperX intentionally does not sell replacement parts because they want you to e-waste the product when a single hinge breaks (and they will). Parts wear after 2-4 years based on how lucky you are. I did contact HyperX support and they refused to sell me parts out of warranty. I did see some sellers 3D printing the parts but didn't want to spend $10-20/part and risk it becoming a whole project. Still, this is an amazing headset for the cost so I'd still give it five stars. Also I do recommend WC Freeze earpads, as the stock earpads aren't bad but are a bit small imo. If you have small ears, you'll be fine. If American sized, it'll be fine (maybe annoying for some), but if large ears, you'll hate it. WC Freeze earpads are much roomier and fix that issue, though add the expense in your consideration. I also find the WC Freeze earpads more comfortable, cooler in the winter, etc, but if I recall they're like $30, so they aren't cheap.

Non credevo nella magia fino a che ho provato queste cuffie. Esagerazioni a parte questa è stata una scommessa per me. Non avevo mai speso una cifra del genere per delle cuffie da gaming ed ero un pò timoroso di aver buttato dei soldi. Non l'ho fatto. Le hyperx cloud alpha wireless sono incredibili. Ottimi materiali e costruzione: se le tratti con un minimo di attenzione ti dureranno anni. I copri orecchie sono grandi e comodissimi, così come la banda superiore. Non ho mai usato cuffie per lunghi periodi di tempo prima, ma dopo ore con queste addosso non ho avuto nessun problema. Anche dal punto di vista del sonoro solo ottime cose: I suoni sono ottimi sulle alte e medie frequenze e i bassi sono un pochino meno entusiasmanti fermandosi ad un buono . Il suono spaziale viene riprodotto bene con solo una zona un pò morta dietro a chi ascolta ma niente di eccessivo. Ottima la distanza di trasmissione con le prime perdite di suono a circa 15 metri con 1 parete in mezzo. Appena prese avevano un fastidioso problema di interruzione del suono per circa 1 secondo ogni tanto ma con l'ultimo aggiornamento del firmware è stato risolto. Non uso mai il microfono personalmente ma nella prova che ho fatto non era entusiasmante. si sente tutto ma ovattato. Infine la parte che sembra veramente magia: la batteria. Io non so esattamente con che demone abbiano fatto un patto ma ne è valsa la pena. La carica sembra essere inesauribile. Per passare da 80% al 70% ci ho messo una settimana con sessioni giornaliere medie di 4 ore: quindi intorno alle 28 ore. PER USARE IL 10% DI CARICA. Questo vuol dire circa 280 ore per una carica completa. Non dico altro.

This is an expensive set of headsets designed for the gaming enthusiast. The build quality is top notch and the mic is probably one of the best in the market. Has a proclaimed 300 hour battery life (yep 300 hour, not 30!). These headsets are not small by any measure, but surprisingly enough do not feel heavy at all. You will have to download the NGENUITY app if you want to configure the equalizer to your liking. The software is simple to use. Sound quality is superb, but sounds tinny out of the box - you'll have to make use of that NGENUITY software to get bass to your exact liking. Needs about a couple of hours worth of "burn-in" after which they sound really great. Very comfortable to wear for extended periods and the feel of the faux-leather headband is awesome when its new.

Good headphones lovely sound and mic is also good no problems with connecting or anything battery also good

Das HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless ist ein Headset, das Gamer ansprechen soll, die Wert auf kabellose Konnektivität, lange Spielsessions und hervorragende Klangqualität legen. Mit seiner beworbenen Akkulaufzeit von 300 Stunden, DTS Headphone:X 3D Audio und den Dual Chamber Treibern tritt es an, ein Premium-Erlebnis zu bieten. Das Design in Schwarz-Rot ist typisch für Gaming-Peripherie und spricht eine breite Zielgruppe an. Vorteile: Phänomenale Akkulaufzeit: Die beworbenen 300 Stunden Akkulaufzeit sind absolut revolutionär und ein echtes Highlight. Das bedeutet wochenlanges Gaming ohne ständiges Aufladen, was die kabellose Freiheit auf ein neues Niveau hebt und Unterbrechungen minimiert. Exzellente Klangqualität mit Dual Chamber Treibern: Die einzigartigen Dual Chamber Treiber von HyperX trennen Bassfrequenzen von Mitten und Höhen. Das Ergebnis ist ein klarerer, präziserer Sound mit weniger Verzerrung. Dies sorgt für eine verbesserte Klangtrennung im Spiel, sodass Sie Schritte, Schüsse und andere wichtige Audio-Hinweise besser orten können. Immersiver DTS Headphone:X 3D Audio: Die Integration von DTS Headphone:X bietet ein beeindruckendes, räumliches 3D-Audioerlebnis. Das ermöglicht eine präzisere Gegnerortung und ein tieferes Eintauchen in Spielwelten, was besonders bei kompetitiven Titeln einen großen Vorteil darstellt. Stabile 2,4 GHz kabellose Verbindung: Die 2,4 GHz Wireless-Technologie sorgt für eine zuverlässige, latenzarme Verbindung zwischen Headset und PC (oder Konsole über USB-Dongle). Dies gewährleistet, dass Audio und Mikrofon synchron mit dem Spielgeschehen sind. Abnehmbares Mikrofon mit Geräuschunterdrückung: Das abnehmbare, geräuschunterdrückende Mikrofon ist ein großer Pluspunkt. Es sorgt für klare Sprachübertragung im Team-Chat, indem Umgebungsgeräusche effektiv gefiltert werden. Dass es abnehmbar ist, erhöht die Flexibilität, wenn Sie das Headset zum Musikhören unterwegs nutzen möchten. Hoher Tragekomfort: HyperX-Headsets sind bekannt für ihren Komfort. Das Cloud Alpha Wireless bietet durch seine robuste, aber leichte Bauweise und die hochwertigen Ohrpolster (oft aus Memory-Schaumstoff mit Kunstlederbezug) auch bei langen Gaming-Sessions einen hervorragenden Tragekomfort. Robuste Verarbeitung: Das Headset wirkt sehr stabil und ist gut verarbeitet, was auf eine lange Lebensdauer schließen lässt. Nachteile: Kein Bluetooth oder kabelgebundener Modus: Das Headset setzt ausschließlich auf die 2,4 GHz Wireless-Verbindung über einen Dongle. Das Fehlen von Bluetooth oder einer 3,5-mm-Klinkenbuchse schränkt die Vielseitigkeit ein, da es nicht direkt mit Smartphones (ohne Dongle-Adapter) oder Konsolen ohne USB-A-Anschluss verwendet werden kann. Software für DTS Headphone:X notwendig: Um das volle Potenzial von DTS Headphone:X nutzen zu können, ist die Installation der NGENUITY-Software von HyperX erforderlich. Gewicht: Trotz des Komforts kann das Headset aufgrund der verbauten Technologie und des großen Akkus etwas schwerer sein als rein kabelgebundene Modelle, was aber angesichts der Leistung und Akkulaufzeit ein vertretbarer Kompromiss ist. Fazit: Das HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless Gaming-Headset ist ein herausragendes Produkt für Gamer, die das ultimative kabellose Erlebnis suchen. Die unschlagbare Akkulaufzeit, gepaart mit der erstklassigen Audioqualität durch die Dual Chamber Treiber und DTS Headphone:X, macht es zu einem echten Game-Changer. Es bietet eine stabile Verbindung, einen hervorragenden Tragekomfort und ein klares Mikrofon – alles, was man für immersive und kompetitive Gaming-Sessions benötigt. Die fehlende Bluetooth-Konnektivität und der Fokus auf den 2,4 GHz Dongle sind kleine Einschränkungen, die aber angesichts der Kernfunktionen und der Zielgruppe zu vernachlässigen sind. Ich kann dieses Gaming-Headset uneingeschränkt empfehlen für alle, die ein High-End-Wireless-Headset mit extrem langer Akkulaufzeit und erstklassigem Sound für PC und kompatible Konsolen suchen. Es ist eine Investition, die sich für passionierte Gamer lohnt.
