HyperX Cloud Alpha S - Gaming Headset (Black)

My review is primarily based on my warzone PC playing experience.That being said, if you primarily play Warzone, there is no headset that provides the amount of footstep volume as this.I tried current gen ASTRO TR40 w/ mixamp and HyperX Cloud Orbit S which are both $150 more and in Warzone, not as good in regards to footsteps. The footstep audio these provide at distance surpass both of the previously mentioned headphones.To make it even better I highly suggest spending the extra $15 (lifetime?) for the Dolby Atmos subscription as I think it helped clear up a lot of the sound quality issues that people complained about. Prior to using the atmos service, I also found that some of the audio was trash in game and music was terrible. I feel the atmos app solved ... MoreMy review is primarily based on my warzone PC playing experience.That being said, if you primarily play Warzone, there is no headset that provides the amount of footstep volume as this.I tried current gen ASTRO TR40 w/ mixamp and HyperX Cloud Orbit S which are both $150 more and in Warzone, not as good in regards to footsteps.

I feel the atmos app solved that and can also provide an extra EQ for you to play with.WZ audio setting: Boost High (Boost low is worth trying too)Headphone setting: 7.1 on (try both and use what you prefer)Also, these usually go on Sale for $100 and sometimes $90, so if you can wait, definitely wait.

I bought this a month or so ago and it is really amazing and great headset to have. They come with 2 different ear covers leather and something else but personally the 'something else' to me is way cooler as it is breathable and does not suffocate your ear. But the leather is great for not letting sound escape. The surround sound works amazing and the fact you can lower peoples volumes or the game from the controller in the cable is handy and awesome. The headset is a fingerprint magnet especially for black you can see your oily fingers where they touched but a cloth easily removes that. The headset is really comfortable and no pressure compared to other headsets I own. The cable is also incredibly long so if you like incredibly long cables this is for you. Quality ... MoreI bought this a month or so ago and it is really amazing and great headset to have.

I love these headphones, but after years I have moved onto the Logitech g pro x . Having bought 2 pairs of these Hyper X I must say the 7.1 is disappointing to say the least, it is hardly usable in most applications. I will say the mixing interface provided is very handy when playing loud games and need to hear teammates better or vice versa. I do like the bass adjustment switches on the earphones, but thats something that can be done passively through software instead of a physical interface. G-hub has a built in eq that links up with the headset immediately and saves each preset eq/custom settings to each profile. As in whatever game or application is running it will switch to that eq profile, Very useful. Sadly, I waited for hyper x to release something like this ... MoreI love these headphones, but after years I have moved onto the Logitech g pro x .

There is some weak UI you had to download through windows apps (garbage move btw), but otherwise nothing compareable. I love the second set of mesh ear pads, they are great for breathablity and long hours of gaming. The audio and build quality are superb. Overall I still like them but wish they could do more in terms of capabilities.
