@@clawson32104 planning to do this but not right now, the stocks are doing great so far for me only problem is my ears sweat alot, sometimes it doesn't.
I just got these yesterday for about 80 bucks. I tried all the other ones they had on display, most were over $100. And for the comfort to quality ratio, these were just the best imo. Like you said, they had some with premium sound quality but they were way too heavy and uncomfortable. So I’d definitely agree that comfort is probably #1. But I guess comfort just depends on each individual’s head shape and/or preference.
When you say it makes you jaw feel uncomfortable, it does for a few days (5 to 7 days). They also sound amazing in Valorant. Also, if your confused, you don’t need that adapter if your computer only has one 3.5 mm port. I got confused, so I figured that others may get confused to. Love the reviews though!!
yes I agree comfort is most important, I got the arctis 7x a while back and they were the best sounding headset for fps games that I have used by far, they separated sounds very well and were able to be immersive while allowing footsteps to be heard easily even with explosions happening but the ski goggle headband combined with it being a heavier headset gave me headaches and sadly i ended up returning them. I haven't been able to find a headset that sounds that good since then but the comfort was a deal breaker for me.
I’m surprised you don’t have more subs. Your video is really high quality. I can see you put a lot of effort into your videos. Keep up the great work❤️
I've had the Cloud II's since 2016 and have never been disappointed with them. Especially with a mixamp, and before that was 2011 Gen 1 Astros A40s also not terrible if you have a mix amp. But this year I wanted to get a new headset. I tried the Steelseries Arctis 3. The comfort is much better than the Cloud II's, but they weren't powerful enough sound wise. I tried the Turtlebeach Atlas, returned those the next day. They were heavy and the clamping was way too strong. Then the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition came on my radar. They are lightweight (similiar to Cloud II's ), very comfy with the cooling gel and THICC spacious ear cups. BUT and I was warned the BASS IS TOO DAMN HIGH for gaming. and now I am back to the Cloud II's. I've seen tons of reviews for the Alphas and I may have to try these. I hope Hyper X won't disappoint again. Sorry for the paragraph, just letting everyone know my struggle for a new headset. :)
You are really good at what you do. I already had a mouse and keyboard from HyperX and the mouse is the Pulsefire Surge. I watched your review of it a while after I purchased it and I noticed that you refer to it as a $40 gem (usually $50 but it was on sale at that time). I couldn’t agree with you anymore on that statement because the mouse is very good and not overpriced at all. The fact that that amazing mouse is HyperX brand drew me to be interested in this headset but then I watched both this review and your review of the Razer BlackShark V2 X. Initially I was surprised that this headset wasn’t as good of a bang for your buck as the HyperX mouse. Because of you I purchased the Razer BlackShark V2 X because I already knew that when you classify a product as a gem, that it is a very good bang for your buck. I personally knew how good of a mouse the pulsefire surge is from experience and you classified it as a gem, so when I saw you classify the V2 X as a gem I instantly knew that product was going to be like the headset version of my mouse. I want to thank you for being honest in your reviews and not partial to any specific brand, because otherwise I would not have gotten such a good headset for a cheap price. I’m happy with my HyperX Pulsefire Surge and my Razer BlackShark V2 X
Haha this is funny that you reviewed this, my cousin has them and he has the exact same opinion that you has on these. And hey man keep up the good content, great reviewer, good personality,and your not afraid to say your opinion. You will make it to 10k in no time 🤙
I think they are very durable. My old headsets always break from the frame. Seen it’s metal I have had these for 2 years now. I honestly think they are a great build. Thumbs up for me
@@christophinie I’ve heard people saying the audio sounds bad on ps5 with 3D sound enabled and that the mic has an echo. Is that true, please answer as I’ve asked on a lot of forums and subreddits but no one has answered. I’m upgrading to a ps5 in about 2 weeks and these grabbed my attention.
this man has helped me a year ago to chose a headset for my ps3. Now I'm choosing one for my high end gaming PC. Great work man You actually have very nice videos.
if you are reading this you will not be disappointed with the hyperx cloud 2's or Alphas... such good quality and comfortability, I've fallen asleep numerous times with my cloud 2's on 😂 comfortability is a big one for me
I completely agree about comfort being paramount. My head is very big so that is an issue with many headsets that don't extend enough and I also seem to have more pressure on the front with headsets that lack swivel. I've tried these in a shop and they felt very comfortable to me. Sound is almost as crucial though. If I don't like the sound I won't use them.
i just got these headphones and i dont regret getting the at all the build quality is an S for me . the sound quality is amazing . the bass , the lows , the mids , and the highs feels so defined.
I have liaterally just done the same @manny 116 i put my astro a40's on the shelf and using the hyper x cloud with the mix amp .. it is a god combo its like cheating in blackout with how amazing this headset it
The Techne Hey man excellent review as always and thanks for mentioning that these also have the unpleasant pressure point again really appreciate the details as always👍😁💯
This is honestly really good quality content for a smaller tech channel, this helped me a lot when choosing between headsets, keep up the good content bud
I watched your videos on the Cloud Alpha and Cloud 2 as I was planning to buy a new gaming headset. I still bought the Alpha because comfort is king to me. Doesn't matter even if my headset is a mini theater when it gives my ears hell. I received the Alpha a few days ago and I have to say, your review perfectly nailed all its ups and downs. The Alpha feels premium and is comfortable to wear, from a person who has a large head and ears. Like you said, sound quality is decent but it could have been better. Still, it was not the worst like others have exaggerated. I tinkered the equalizer a bit and now they sound divine (at least for me lol). Directional audio works well in games, even without me messing with the equalizer. I had a relatively long gaming session upon receiving and it was a joyous experience. I have no regrets buying the Alpha and listening to your reviews. No bullshit, just straight up your honest opinion. Wouldn't have done this if it weren't for you so thanks man! Question: Would buying the USB 7.1 surround sound like the one found in the Cloud 2 drastically change the sound quality in the Alpha?
@@HLPOLYWI Sorry bro, I don't have and use consoles. PC is really just the way to go for me. If anyone I know uses the Alphas on consoles, I'll let you know their thoughts
These are built like a tank !I've had mine since 2020 and they literally look new! I also keep my stuff in amazing condition with cleanings often and I hang them up. I think these sound amazing. All around these are amazing! You won't regret the purchase.
Finally tried them out, and really like the sound when playing Single Player games. Went to play online with my buddies, and they immediately said what's up with the echo??? Tried my other headsets and no problem. These are going back to the store.
same problem, headset mic picks up desktop audio even when unplugged, some major fault and loads of people complaining about it online. decent sound but usless for online games
There is no such thing It either good sound not so comfortable or really comfortable but not well drivers and the mic quality is just not worth mentioning

Initialy was obsesed with Steelseries Arctis Pro - minimalastic design and "for audiophiles" perk - "that reproduce Hi-Res audio out to 40,000 Hz, nearly double what most standard headsets are capable of (22,000 Hz).". Diggin' deeper found out these have serious design - durability flaws which are real issue if you are that planet-friendly person who like to use fav product really long time - 4 - 7 year. Also these are not friendly for the big heads :) Second selection was Hyperx Cloud Alpha S. Initially thought it was a serious upgrade (from Cloud Alpha) in all aspects from sound and mic to connectivity and convenience (cause it was released after several years after Cloud Alpha). But i was wrong - they added 7.1 surround (but im not 16yo anymore and find it more like useless gimmick or marketing trick) but also made some serious functionality flaws (in 3.5 mm mode you cannot control volume directly on the wire like you can do it on much cheaper Cloud Alphas). So finally i ordered HyperX Cloud Alphas :) :)
Jordan Evans cloud mix are incredible.. but too expensive I heard that the cloud alpha is great too.. anyway if you want the best take cloud mix/ arctis 7/ arctis pro If you want a good headset take Cloud alpha If you want a wireless headset take Cloud Flight 👍🏻
Great video, I would love to see you compare these to the Cloud 2s. I know there are videos of that out there but would like to see it from yourself :)
lol, I recently moved, and am in the process of changing it, lol! I could never get them dang pics straight, lol! here is the new background in progress ua-cam.com/video/AEUWaKurdV0/v-deo.html
@@Txssaaron no change I still love them and recommend it I recently bought the turtle beach headset audio controller plus and I have to say they work better with it.
@@zulfendi1227 the bass is ok if you’re looking for a headset with good bass there’s other headsets with better bass like the astros A10 or the turtle beach stealth 600 2nd GEN but other than that the headset are very good
Could you please give your take on which one you would go for between HyperX Alpha pro and Razer Kraken 2019 ? The prices in India are bumped up due to the taxes and shippment. So this will be a one time buy. Would really appreciate your take on it.
All these comments convinced me to get cloudx Alpha. I see so many videos praising razer blackshark v2 pro but all the comments were saying how theirs broke after just a month of use
@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse I’ve had my alphas for 4 years now. They are built so sturdy you wouldn’t need to worry if you you where to have a rage moment lol. I’m pretty sure you’ve heard but GREAT sound.Also the leather on the ear cups was fading a bit after so many years and I accidentally washed my mic like a dummy.. What’s cool is you can get replacement parts for super cheap on Kingston’s website. I recommend it.
I'm using mine for xbox and the mic is really sensitive. I have to turn the volume down so low so my friends dont hear themselves. No clue how the mic is catching their voices but it is.
I've had these for a little over a year and YT just recommended this video to me, so I was curious on what this channel had to say about it. I'll have to agree on what you said about it's sound quality on PC, BUT that was only true on the onboard audio of the motherboard. However once I plugged this into a dedicated soundcard (I've got the SoundBlaster Z) the sound quality of these headsets skyrocketed! I think it's because of these headsets' high impedence, which I believe it's 600ohm? So you're going to need something stronger than your onboard audio to really know how good these are! I spent 80 on these headset and another 80 on the sound card. Best money I've ever spent on PC hardware ever!
@@pro-vk2pd im still using the cloud 2.0, it's been 3-4 years of use now and they are still going strong, no issues. only a little bit of material has scraped off of the ear cushions, but nothing else. a great choice.
how is the clamping force? my friend gave them to me after using them for 2 years and when I wore them and there was no clamping force at all, is it normal?
Get this headset for 37 dollars used, its older but its perfect to me to use on a pc gaming, music, videos and more, great sound, mic and can stay on my head for hours, my first HyperX gaming headset to😍😁
comfortability is #2 for me actually. when im looking for a new headset i mostly only care about sound quality. i can get use to it being uncomfortable lmao
Yeah my current headset used to be uncomfortable to the point i kinda regret buying but i got used to it anyway lmao. Planning to buy this i hope it goes well
@@jandeus9489 i dont reccomend lol. i bought it and i regret it. mic is echoing really badly and sound is more quiet in games. it is comfortable and they sound really good when youre listening to music or watching a movie etc. but when youre in game, it gets quiet:\ but i can recommend you my last headphones: genesis neon 600, cheaper, but better IMO
@@cytrus6496 Could you please tell me which one is better for PS4 gaming: Cloud II, Cloud Core, Cloud Alpha or Cloud Alpha S?? Immersion is the primary concern here. Want something for single-player games like God of War, Red Dead etc.
@@princesmith8008 i cant compare any of them sadly, but i did buy the cloud alpha and the sound is great. i can recommend you this one but i have no idea if its worse or better than the other ones:/ the only thing that i would like to point out is that the microphone is echoing, its catching audio from the headphones. it is in fact so bad that i had to buy a stationary mic. but soundwise hyperx cloud alpha is awesome
i just got my headset and i’m kinda worried i got a defective pair because the adjustment band is somewhat easy to adjust and slides a bit to easy unlike my other headset
Great review man! Personally I love these headphones and are the best in terms of sound I've experienced. Granted I haven't tested that many headsets so I'm comparing them to turtle beach and the Corsair HS50. Keep up the good work 👍

What headsets the best
Jayden James it depends about the price range and preference because of comfort.
Jayden James but for around 80 dollars I would recommend the turtle beach elite atlas

But i was wrong - they added 7.1 surround (but im not 16yo anymore and find it more like useless gimmick or marketing trick) but also made some serious functionality flaws (in 3.5 mm mode you cannot control volume directly on the wire like you can do it on much cheaper Cloud Alphas).
So finally i ordered HyperX Cloud Alphas :) :)
Got the cloud mix and fall in love with it 💙😍
they look so nice! gosh I just wish hyperx would put some swivel in there ear cups :(
Psycho Guy should I get the cloud mix? I’m so stuck on alpha or the flight or one you got man?...
Jordan Evans cloud mix are incredible.. but too expensive
I heard that the cloud alpha is great too.. anyway if you want the best take cloud mix/ arctis 7/ arctis pro
If you want a good headset take
Cloud alpha
If you want a wireless headset take Cloud Flight 👍🏻
So out of them all you think the mix is the best bro. I’ll defs go with them then
Jordan Evans good luck.. arctis pro are incredible too👍🏻
Comfort first! I am actually buying a new set because my current TB set has great sound but they are HORRIBLY uncomfortable & I just can’t stand it!

@@dani.dani.bobani Thx
Great video, I would love to see you compare these to the Cloud 2s. I know there are videos of that out there but would like to see it from yourself :)
6:37 i died a little, but they are flexible headphones
Loved the music :) *Extraordinary* Review thanks!
thank you!!
Nice rap intro i thought this was a rap trailer lol xxd
lol
i love his video because he straight foward
Comfort has to be #1 for sure!!!!
Thanks now I'm more convinced to buy this headset!
This is great I'm getting mine monday
how is it??
@@ghaithnajim9701 amazing
Wow ur growing so fast!!! Yesterday you were at 4500 now at 4600!!!
no way it took me 5hrs to get to 4700? really? I don't track #'s much! that's crazy!! Thanks to you all! you all are so dang amazing!!!
The Techne 100 a day?! You’re blowing up!!! You’re doing great keep up the hard work!!
bought this one to replace my cloud 2's, having that detachable cable is so nice because that's what got fucked up on my cloud 2's.
I'm about to buy the alphas, my cloud 2's cable is falling apart as well unfortunately
is the sound quality any good? can you listen to music and be fully satisfied? and you hear footsteps in game? i really want to know.
@@Oliver-bn7jt sound quality is great
@@Oliver-bn7jt Yeah it's amazing, I'm very satisfied with my alpha
@@kylian3561 is it too tight on your head or just fine? just list your head size because i want to know if it will be too uncomfortable
This Guy deserves alot more subs...
@ShAzzE I know right !!! I Totally agree with you man !!
please fix your background, that images are not in same line, im getting mad about it :D :D
lol, I recently moved, and am in the process of changing it, lol! I could never get them dang pics straight, lol! here is the new background in progress ua-cam.com/video/AEUWaKurdV0/v-deo.html
@@TheTechne yeah, that is better ! :D i know that is hard to align those images before :D btw nice vids thanks
@@Sinedko thank you so much! trust me man them dang previous pics drove me nuts as well, lol!
I just bought this today and tried them for a few hours and I love them definitely recommend them
Any change? Is it still good?
@@Txssaaron no change I still love them and recommend it I recently bought the turtle beach headset audio controller plus and I have to say they work better with it.
Is the bass good?
@@zulfendi1227 the bass is ok if you’re looking for a headset with good bass there’s other headsets with better bass like the astros A10 or the turtle beach stealth 600 2nd GEN but other than that the headset are very good
a comfortable wireless headset for me would be the best. but issues like delay and disconnection worries.
cloud flight and stinger wireless are amazing, i own both and there is never delay or connection concerns.
this guy is so good with teachnolagy bro
Could you please give your take on which one you would go for between HyperX Alpha pro and Razer Kraken 2019 ? The prices in India are bumped up due to the taxes and shippment. So this will be a one time buy. Would really appreciate your take on it.
Go alpha S
Got these a year ago and still not one scratch on them. Gonna take them with me to the ps5. They that good
All these comments convinced me to get cloudx Alpha. I see so many videos praising razer blackshark v2 pro but all the comments were saying how theirs broke after just a month of use
@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse I’ve had my alphas for 4 years now. They are built so sturdy you wouldn’t need to worry if you you where to have a rage moment lol. I’m pretty sure you’ve heard but GREAT sound.Also the leather on the ear cups was fading a bit after so many years and I accidentally washed my mic like a dummy.. What’s cool is you can get replacement parts for super cheap on Kingston’s website. I recommend it.
I'm using mine for xbox and the mic is really sensitive. I have to turn the volume down so low so my friends dont hear themselves. No clue how the mic is catching their voices but it is.
I've had these for a little over a year and YT just recommended this video to me, so I was curious on what this channel had to say about it.
I'll have to agree on what you said about it's sound quality on PC, BUT that was only true on the onboard audio of the motherboard. However once I plugged this into a dedicated soundcard (I've got the SoundBlaster Z) the sound quality of these headsets skyrocketed!
I think it's because of these headsets' high impedence, which I believe it's 600ohm? So you're going to need something stronger than your onboard audio to really know how good these are! I spent 80 on these headset and another 80 on the sound card. Best money I've ever spent on PC hardware ever!
thank you so much for stopping by and watching :) hope to see you around for a few more
@Hopex Playzz Soundblaster Z
You can just use the hyperx cloud 2 usb sound card or the new Hyperx amp with the alpha. And is proven by reddit in the hyperx page
Would you recommend the hyperx cloud 2 over these for games were you need to pay close attention to your surroundings or any other headset with a mic?
No
what's your price range?
@@TheTechne Around the 100 mark could go a bit higher.
@@flak8821 take a look at these steelseries headset, my fav, and very very solid!
ua-cam.com/play/PL_QjcHP9SIIqtRFwsotAQUE_sDZuOGGej.html
@@TheTechne thanks I'll check them out.
nice review! currently i use cloud 2.0 but i might give those a look, they look really good! keep up the good work for your videos
I would go cloud 2 before these.
Did you get them and what you think?
@@pro-vk2pd im still using the cloud 2.0, it's been 3-4 years of use now and they are still going strong, no issues. only a little bit of material has scraped off of the ear cushions, but nothing else. a great choice.
This or cloud 2 for switch
getting this for mine
Thank you for this! Keep grinding man I am getting the headset today I hope it goes well!
How did it go?
@@frankg1969 I accidentally got the cloud 2 which I liked a bit better and I saw technes video about it and It was amazing
i can Confirm this is a God Tier Headset i Love them Pair it with Dolby Atmos and Wow its UNREAL
how is the clamping force? my friend gave them to me after using them for 2 years and when I wore them and there was no clamping force at all, is it normal?
@@TOPFLO0RBOSS
Not normally, clamping force is perfect for my medium sized head.
@@TOPFLO0RBOSS Not an Issue for me atall m8 there very Comfy
Best review. Thank you buddy!
thank you for watching!
Comfort is number one important for me don’t wanna be miserable while gaming that’s why this is my go to headset
I also have this for 60$ and breed them with a Creative Sound Blaster Z. Everybody praise this headphones! Great review, gratz!
60$ nice! now then I would say this headset is well worth it. I just think there are better out there around the 100$ range.
Get this headset for 37 dollars used, its older but its perfect to me to use on a pc gaming, music, videos and more, great sound, mic and can stay on my head for hours, my first HyperX gaming headset to😍😁
A other great vid my friend keep up the great work! 😎👌
comfortability is #2 for me actually. when im looking for a new headset i mostly only care about sound quality. i can get use to it being uncomfortable lmao
Same
Yeah my current headset used to be uncomfortable to the point i kinda regret buying but i got used to it anyway lmao. Planning to buy this i hope it goes well
@@jandeus9489 i dont reccomend lol. i bought it and i regret it. mic is echoing really badly and sound is more quiet in games. it is comfortable and they sound really good when youre listening to music or watching a movie etc. but when youre in game, it gets quiet:\ but i can recommend you my last headphones: genesis neon 600, cheaper, but better IMO
@@cytrus6496
Could you please tell me which one is better for PS4 gaming:
Cloud II, Cloud Core, Cloud Alpha or Cloud Alpha S??
Immersion is the primary concern here. Want something for single-player games like God of War, Red Dead etc.
@@princesmith8008 i cant compare any of them sadly, but i did buy the cloud alpha and the sound is great. i can recommend you this one but i have no idea if its worse or better than the other ones:/ the only thing that i would like to point out is that the microphone is echoing, its catching audio from the headphones. it is in fact so bad that i had to buy a stationary mic. but soundwise hyperx cloud alpha is awesome
In my opinion the sound is number 1 definitely
I subscribed for the full reviews including the glasses comfort test it's a shame you don't review plantronics
I did one a few, very old video's though, lol so take it easy on me ua-cam.com/video/zp0srKOT8xA/v-deo.html
I just watch your videos because they are really good
thank you
Awesome review!! Thanks for this video!!
thank you! and thank you for watching!!
I have my one this guy was the one that how to helped me decide
I agree comfortable and sound quality are top of the list
I would highly recommend them i have used them for 2 years on console they sound great the mic is good.
i just got my headset and i’m kinda worried i got a defective pair because the adjustment band is somewhat easy to adjust and slides a bit to easy unlike my other headset
I wouldn't ignore comfort over sound quality for sure. Its a deal breaker if it hurts my ears or something.
Just bought them today. Super comfy.
great review!
thank you!
The Techne no problem keep up the great work and i have a feeling that your channel will start blowing up🙃🙃
bought mine refurbished of ebay. sound and built amazing
dude that sick rap at the beginning
I was confused to buy it , but after ur face expressions I will definitely buy it
The mice is art
Great review man! Personally I love these headphones and are the best in terms of sound I've experienced. Granted I haven't tested that many headsets so I'm comparing them to turtle beach and the Corsair HS50.
Keep up the good work 👍
turtle beach is no competition there the worst headsets you can ever buy
I thought you had 200k not 20k. You’ve got good quality. Keep working had dude
thank you so much!
The Techne much love brother
Great video like always. :)
thank you so much!!
