The HyperX Cloud Alpha was, and still is, one of the great gaming headsets basically ever. For the price, basically no headset can match it in sound quality, comfort, and build quality, but it had a few shortcomings—It's got an average microphone, and bas...

In the past year and two months, I have reviewed two headsets by HyperX. The first was the Cloud Revolver, reviewed in November 2018. The Cloud revolver got 8/10 from me, with strong praise for its build quality, comfortability and general value for mone...
Extremely comfortable design, great for long sessions, Feels like a premium headset thanks to high build quality, Very useful detachable clipon audio controller with a long cable length, Fantastic default sound quality...
The bass slider feels like an unnecessary gimmick, Virtual 7.1 surround sound makes almost everything sound worse, making it a pointless feature at best, No software, only hardware, limiting your options...
The Cloud Alpha S is, as with all HyperX headsets, a very well made, great sounding and - in this case - a somewhat reasonable price. Priced £30/$30 higher than the Cloud Alpha, this price is as a result of extra features which include a bass slide and al...
