“tiene un bug que hace un ruido estático desde que lo fabricaron y nunca lo arreglaron, una verguenza”
“I have this headset and I’m still at a loss for words about the battery life. ”300 hours, yeah right” And then I realized they weren’t actually lying”
“the headset is good, only problem im having is that my friends tell me that i sound very muffled.”
“I used both arctis pro wireless (not nova) and hyperx cloud alpha wireless. Arctis's mic isn't great but I didn't have any issues with latency. Hyperx however has issues and once u enable anything on their software it adds so much latency. It could be a bug idk but if u stick to stock it's fine. Hyperx has a better mic though.”
“I got it, and i completely recommend it. I charge it literally each month. Plus the mic is phenomenal. Its my Favorite headset of all times !”
“The package was more premium on the cord ones”
“all I've ever wanted in a headset is a battery life that doesn't suck. I'm sold”
“I was having an issue with constant buzzing coming from my hyperx cloud alpha wireless and nothing was working untill I uninstalled the drivers and removed them from my computer.”
“For $200 it has DTS:X Spatial Audio, it's only usable on PC and PS5/PS4, no game/chat mix on the headset, no Bluetooth, sound is pretty good, battery is insane (300 hours on a single charge). However, without tweaking it has a lot of bass and it's been difficult to get a good balance that boosts footsteps in Warzone without other low frequency sounds drownin”
“Now I'm using a hyperx cloud alpha wireless headset in standard stereo mode and I can't hear anywhere near as far as I could with the razer, and the direction isn't as accurate either”
“300 hours is actually insane”
“Has survived a dog attack but some aestheticall parts started failing after 1.5 years. Would have recommended 1 year ago but since HP bought it the build quality has down hill”
“But 10/10 comfort, amazing sound quality, decent mic and to top it all... 300 hrs battery life.”
“there is a static noise, like a "tik" that can be heard when any sound stops playing, especially if they are bass heavy, and it becomes annoying quite quickly.”
“This is okay if you are looking for something wireless, sound exactly the same with their cable counterparts tho, a little bit overpriced for the sound they produce at 199$.”
“After a few months, the right clasp that affixes the earcup to the head band just straight up exploded one day while I was wearing it. Gaming headsets in general are poorly constructed and way overpriced.”
“the Cloud Alpha Wireless sounds full, it’s comfortable, and has great sidetone.”
“The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless has a V-shaped sound signature, meaning boosted bass and treble, but it also has a somewhat closed, tin-can-like soundstage due to being a closed-back headphone”
“I have a HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless and I still have the same problems with it. Inside the app I cannot change the spatial sound or the equalizer”
“I went wireless literally yesterday and I am super happy about the lack of cables.”
“noticed that the Alpha's volume is less in volume but more balanced. Somewhat between smooth and muddy but the in-game sound of CS sounds less crisp”
“treat myself to a new pair of HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless headset - which I have found to be way too bass heavy and quiet vs the Cloud II”
“I returned them and bought a pair of HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless. They are a tad bass heavy for my liking but I've EQ'd them so it's not as bad”
“My hyperx cloud alpha S's just died after 7 years of hard gaming, they will be missed.”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“the audio loudness quality sounds worse than using Windows Loudness Option (with another compatible headset) and also feels like I have delay when DTS is activated”
“I am currently using the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless with my PSVR2. It works but it's a very tight squeeze where the cups need to sit extremely low on my ear to not get entangled with the halo ring.”
“So I got refunded the full amount by Amazon for my HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless but they let me Keep the product still. I’ve found a decent audio EQ for competitive games, and then one for singleplayer games that I just want the best immersion and sound for.”
“The HyperX have an internal DAC/Amp and an excited sound.”
