Hey everyone! Holy crap this video got crazy amount of views and comments! I’m so sorry I’ve been away all this time! I’ve been working my ass off and haven’t had time to post videos. I’ve become a twitch streamer now so that’s what I do if you want to support please give a follow to www.twitch.tv/mysy_ I’m a variety streamer but mostly play horror games. I have built a great community this past 3 months and I’m grateful. I’m so happy you found this video helpful. P.S. HyperX Alphas are still my favorite and still the best in my honest opinion and I’m going to be purchasing the purple and white version. And no I am not a hyperX rep lol. Sure wish I was. Take care everyone! -RaunchyMikey (MySy)
Thanks for the vid even tho im late :P Would love to know which has better directional footstep sound for first person shooters like apex/csgo/pubg/cod kind of games where sound matters alot. i'm stuck between | HyperX Flight II/alphas orrrrr | Logitech pro headset | and i want comfort obviously but i would rather hear enemy footsteps or reloads alot more than the comfort haha i wanna get signed to a top tier org. ANYONE have experience with these and could give advice???! would be much appreciated. i wanna order soon so ill check often on here for a reply, thanks in advanced.. price range is under 130. decent mic but mainly directional sound to hear enemys. THANKS GUYS!!!!
Atomtamer which did you get?? I went with g pro and I love it... better than the 200$ headsets mics I’ve had and probably the same sound quality for gaming. Not for music until you have a mic amp or dac but I love it overall. Happy with choice but idk what the cloud 2s or alphas are like tho so not discounting them, but pros are Basically as good as my old tritton 720s with an amp..
If you mod the hyperx cloud revolver s you lose a lot of bass and it's at a better level And the sound stage gets better and it's sound much better than stock hey did you try putting brain wavez hm5 earpads on your hyperx cloud alpha It makes them sound better and more comfortable www.amazon.com/Brainwavz-Angled-Memory-Foam-Earpad/dp/B00ZY8PGJI/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?adgrpid=60098805270&hvadid=274738892341&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9006048&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=14653027839346023725&hvtargid=kwd-299541422879&hydadcr=19255_9666099&keywords=brainwavz+hm5&qid=1560565360&s=gateway&sr=8-6 www.amazon.com/Brainwavz-Earpads-SteelSeries-Headsets-Headphones/dp/B07S8N8S62/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=brainwavz+hm5+cooling+gel&qid=1560565398&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr0
Alphas are better alot better than cloud 2 But i think they dont support 7.1 virtual surround sound Not sure if 7.1 vss is even real though i can hear anything around me perfectly
beast fxcade yes clearly Cloud 2 doesnt have a built in 7.1 surround sound system so its thr same as the alpha but the alpha has a more advanced audio driver which makes it the superior choice No you dont need to have virtual 7.1 surround sound to hear where the audio coming from I had a 7.1 surround sound headphones twice and i found the audio more enjoyable from the alphas
I just wanted to say that this video is fucking awesome! You r compare these two headsets great and you helped me on my decision! Nowadays there is soooo much clickbait and hidden advertisement that you can never be completely sure if you get manipulated but thats different on you're channel! Keep up doing great videos I'm sure you will definitly grow a big channel if you move on like that! Btw. I liked and subscribed :))
Dekto thanks a lot! I had a previous channel that had 1K subscribers that channel got hacked and I had to restart everything all over. But thank you for those words!!!
RaunchyMikey Oh shit, I'm sorry man. Hackers are everywhere these days.. Btw can you check my other comment about the headsets? I posted it about 30 minutes ago.
RaunchyMikey Me too No joke... I have the Hyper X cloud 2 And i Think its a excelent Gaming headset BUT i wish more bass on it cuz that headset plays exatly what you'r playing with no modification of original sound BUT with an Equalizer the problem goes away... Nice video Bro keep doing it! i did subscribe on your channel
Landooon Gaming Yes! They are incredible! I’ve even been doing my monitoring for audio creation and they are balanced and accurate! They do so much more than just sounding incredible and clear for games! Music and movies sound WONDERFUL!
This is what a proper review should be. Someone who feels passionate and can convey the value of a product. I'm so glad I searched for a possible improvement. Almost got the Cloud 2 as I've been wanting to for months.
@@user-mg2lr5ni2e I bought revolver S. Using them for more than 9 months, and seriously they are mind-blowing. I checked alpha also in the ESL but the revolver is best without any doubt.
@@user-mg2lr5ni2e Go for alpha S then. Can I suggest one more thing? Time & Tech is changing very fast. Go for any wireless headphones of Logitech. I bought revolver s but now I have to manage wire every time I play. I can't put them on my phone, feels lazy to unhook & hook. If I have to buy now, I would definitely go with wireless.
Thanks for this comparison, I've had the cloud and cloud 2s so this helped a lot in determining if I should get the alphas. Also completely agree with Kingston's customer service being top notch. My dog actually chewed up the detachable mic on my clouds and they were really nice and helpful in getting a replacement to me quick.
Thank you so much, this review was really helpful. I think I have made up my mind. Also, DAMN! For a first video on your channel......this is DAMN good quality. Nice. Keep at it man. :)
Oxy Worgon thank you so much man! I’m getting more reviews ready including the google pixel. I’m going to be doing more audio products as well as gaming mice and keyboards, stay tuned and thanks for the positive vibes!
Great review! It really helped me decide on what headphones I wanted and the Cloud Alphas are a no-brainer. Got them yesterday and I LOVE them! They are so light, but not a cheap feeling light. They feel premium when you hold them, and they feel light on your head. They are so comfortable, and they sound AMAZING!!! The only con that you mentioned is the cross-feed where people in game hear you. It is not the microphone itself picking up the sound playing into your headphones speakers. They are not open back, those holes don't leak audio AFAIK. Maybe you plugged them into your front panel connectors on your case and some people say that the electrical signals can get mixed up between headphones and microphone in front channel connectors. I did multiple tests by plugging it into my motherboard and there was no cross-feed. So basically there is nothing bad to say about these headphones! Great review, and you deserve way more than 1k subs.
this video made me subscribe.. love your reviews man..which make me wonder how come u have few subs?.. i wanna be a part of that first 1000 subs haha keep it up man
hey man idk if you care but someone stole this video and reuploaded it to their channel. Channel is called Anette Diamantopoulo . Saw it pop up during my searches for a review these headsets
You should be doing review videos my friend, I often watch similar content and really liked yours, especially since I don't think you've been doing this kind of content regularly. Best of luck! Wish to see more reviews from you in the future!
I decided to go with the Alpha's, simply because i like having the in line audio control, plus it's the same price as the Cloud II's right now, so i might as well get the latest version. This will be the most expensive headset I've bought but i'm more than willing to give Kingston a try, it seems like a well trusted brand.
I'm looking around for gaming headset to use for my PlayStation 4. You hit the nail on the head with your intro, as forums are starting to confuse me with seperate mics and headsets. I read that the hyperx cloud 2 has had an update letting you used the in-line sound controls. Does this now work? Which of the two headsets would people recommend? Also, how do both headsets connect to a PlayStation?
I dont even know how the fuck do u have just 28 subscribers, ur review is better then all others I watched, to sum up it is more realistic, keep the good work.
Incredible review. You've just convinced me to get my 1st ever Hyperx Cloud headset. Throughly enjoy this video and i like the way you emphasize how great the Alpha is.
Seeing these comments a year ago saying you're fresh and now seeing you with 1.7K subs is great. Great review and your passion for audio quality makes your review more trusting. Thanks :)
I just bought cloud 2s and I’m very impressed by them. I’m on console by the way so I had to go with that since im always in party chat. One question is could I use the MixAmp I have for the Hyperx? Now I realize how much Astro’s are overrated and pricey. The mic quality is much better in the Hyperx and I want to say the headset audio too.
THIS was the perfect review I was looking for. I was so torn between these two. And yep, its going to Alphas for me. Cant wait to push the button and to get them.
Im at the same dilemma for quite a while now..never owned to be honest a gaming headset in my life and now with the ps5 coming i think its a good opportunity..how do they sound or how did they sound? Are they worth it in terms of comfort durability and sound? I see alpha’s have something called dual chambers does that make a difference between them and cloud 2?
@@jiris5709 Dual chambers provides better sound. They are a really good headset for gaming and music. The mic is pretty average but audio is top knotch.
@@Synthetic-Chicken so you’d recommend this one instead of cloud 2 with no doubt? Could you please explain them a bit more to me so i can have a clear image? You have them 2 yeara Your opinion matters..im interested in the sound, how amazing it sounds, how much background noise it cuts so you feel like you’re in the game and about the footsteps direction etc gunsounds..really sorry for asking so much, its getting tired for me searching every day all day and not deciding :p
@@jiris5709 I have the Hyper X Cloud Alpha, I would get them over anything on the market except for pure audio headsets like Steelseries/Audiotechnica etc. The Hyper X Cloud Alphas are definitely the best around for gaming. The sound from the headset is really good, it has a volume dial on the cord itself for extra volume, the bass is powerful and clear, not all distorted. They arn't 100% noise cancelling so it wont cut out every bit of backround noise unless you have them turned up a lot. I play games like RUST/ARMA3/Escape From Tarkov etc and for footsteps, hearing players,gun shots and direction, the hyper x do it best, they don't use shitty software for fake 7.1 surround like Razer/Logitech etc. Hope this answers all your questions bro.
@@Synthetic-Chicken yeah bro you’ve been very helpful! Just one last question! you said about the noise cancelling..is that a huge problem? Is that like the only “con” you’d find in the headset after 2 years? Sorry for asking questions all the time, im trying to clear my head and choose the best :) !
Hey! I'm so glad I watched this review. I bought myself the HyperX Cloud Alpha on Christmas 2018 and my brother just bought the HyperX Cloud II. I thought his were better but thanks Lucifer, I saw your video.
Thank you for the advice and the review is honest and well made. I just broke my G430 after my incurable temper. I just ordered HyperX Cloud Alpha! I hope It will withstand my rage.
First review video!? Wow dude you sounded like a total pro. Killed it. I have the Cloud II's but now I really want to get the Alphas just to hear what you hear!
Locuraaa te hago una pregunta estoy entre los cloud 2 o los alpha como fue el rendimiento de tus alpha? te sirven para lo shoters ya que no tienen 7.1? espero tu respuesta!
Sooooo nobody is going to talk about the sticker of a man in the background? Btw can't believe you only have 100 subs(too bad you got hacked) considering the quality of this video and information. I know you are going places so I just wanna say you should remember all of us when you are famous with 1 Million+ subs Edit: here a year later just got a warranty claim on my headset(audio was crackling and muffled) and glad you have more subs :)
i saw that, lol. i thought it was odd. i would never have something like that, is it from a game or movie or something? i have one or two *artful (sure..) pictures of woman in bikinis on my walls.
Great review man! I didn't know the Alpha was a semi open headset. I have used one in the past and i loved the sound stage it creates. I'm using a Cloud Core but i want another one, preferably semi open and bassy.
I love how music sounds on these headphones! Makes it seem as if you’re there where the music is playing! Which I prefer to use them for. Which is crazy since they’re considered a gaming headset.
I just had to say I've experienced using cloud core up til 2019. The only problem I had with those headsets was the lack of good bass. The cloud alpha's are perfect. Thanks for your review.
Question for you: i heard you play overwatch. When playing overwatch back when you used the cloud ll’s, you played it with the 7.1 off? And with the dolby atoms in-game setting on?
Hey man, you should continue this UA-cam channel of yours. I’m a subscriber since the beginning. You’re the one who convinced me on buying cloud alpha 2 yrs ago.
Absolutely loved this review. I watched several others before this and the reviewers were so robotic. Then I stumble upon this dude who comes off so real with a genuine passion for sound. People, please don't delay and get yourself a pair of Alphas. I don't care if your budget is only 50 dollars. Save up and buy these. You will not be disappointed. They are that good. I tried four other pairs before this and even after hours of playing with my EQ settings these sounded better out of the box. They're also comfortable to boot. Huge win for HyperX and these do indeed make the rest of the lineup obsolete.
@@marcosrautenberg5987 because of preference, for competitive its better the alpha, but the flight isn't bad for that, the flight its more multifunctional
My 7.1 razer souround headsets juat broke and im planing to buy the alphas but since i dosn't have 7.1 souround i dont know if they are still good for hearing where footstep's, gunshots are comming from. Can you hear sound forward, backwards, left and right cleary? If so im getting the alphas!
Great review c: im still wondering wich headset I should get for rainbow six siege because my razer chroma kraken randomly stopped working for no reason wich was frustrating but yeah. Do you suggest buying the alpha for this game or are there other options out there?
sad montagne Thanks! And to be perfectly honest at $99 there is not a better built, better sounding headset out there other than the HyperX Alpha. You won’t get a much better headset unless you decided to spend $250-$300 more on a different headset and EVEN then it’s not a drastic difference.
FBREVOLUTION Played Evil Within 2 with both and the HyperX Alphas won by a landslide. Amazing spatial awareness. Please get the Alphas you won’t regret it!
RaunchyMikey the only problem with the alphas is they have a high impedance, higher then the controller can support. I went back to the cloud 2 especially now that the usb card is officially supported on PS4. Great video!
, After more research i decided to not buy this headsets because I am a console player and this are maybe fantastic with PC but i think not with my PS4. I decided to search for a wireless 7.1 Headset with good Mic Monitoring.

watercobra Alpha, bro. They are way better than the others.

Awesome review very detailed -- thank you so much!!
Hey! I'm so glad I watched this review. I bought myself the HyperX Cloud Alpha on Christmas 2018 and my brother just bought the HyperX Cloud II. I thought his were better but thanks Lucifer, I saw your video.
Thank you for the advice and the review is honest and well made. I just broke my G430 after my incurable temper. I just ordered HyperX Cloud Alpha! I hope It will withstand my rage.
does the alpha hurt your ear in long gaming?
@@rafaoliveira6292 in the beginning it did but I got used to it. I no longer have that headset, I have Blackshark V2 which I’d rather recommend.
what if you plug in the''hyperx cloud alpha'' cable into the cloud 2 control panel
Is the sound quality good？
please let me know :D
First review video!? Wow dude you sounded like a total pro. Killed it. I have the Cloud II's but now I really want to get the Alphas just to hear what you hear!
Great video, you should definitely make more reviews/comparisons like this.
very good video Thank you very much for your advice. the hyperx cloud alpha comes to me next week. greetings from corrientes, argentina
sebastian hope you enjoy! Thank you!
Locuraaa te hago una pregunta estoy entre los cloud 2 o los alpha como fue el rendimiento de tus alpha? te sirven para lo shoters ya que no tienen 7.1? espero tu respuesta!
"I still recommend them, i do...but..." Hyperx alpha ad pops up lmaoooo
Dude, that review was great! You're talented!
You sold me, man. Thanks for the review!
307 subs,HOW, I honestly thought this was like a 100,000 channel
Melinda Neiswanger thank you Melinda! :D
Sooooo nobody is going to talk about the sticker of a man in the background? Btw can't believe you only have 100 subs(too bad you got hacked) considering the quality of this video and information. I know you are going places so I just wanna say you should remember all of us when you are famous with 1 Million+ subs
Edit: here a year later just got a warranty claim on my headset(audio was crackling and muffled) and glad you have more subs :)
That looks like a wwe wrestler. Probably Randy Orton
E. J. Stark yeah I guess it is
Ashwin Alagendran It is Randy Orton, put some respect HEHE BOI
i saw that, lol. i thought it was odd. i would never have something like that, is it from a game or movie or something?
i have one or two *artful (sure..) pictures of woman in bikinis on my walls.
that's an altar D:
Awesome review man!! Thanks!!
Thank you for the excellent review!
Wow great video! You deserve way more subs, subbed =)
DatPunch thank you so much!
Make more videos, you have so much potential
You earned a sub, thanks for this video man!
Thanks for the review. this was very helpfull!
Nice video
one of the honest review i seen regarding cloud alpha..thanks for the review
Thank you, you help me a lot!
Thanks for helping me with my desicion!
Holy shit, this is arguably the best review I've ever watched on UA-cam. I swear to god.
i bet this video gave you a huge boost in subscribers :D
Great review man! I didn't know the Alpha was a semi open headset. I have used one in the past and i loved the sound stage it creates. I'm using a Cloud Core but i want another one, preferably semi open and bassy.
I love how music sounds on these headphones! Makes it seem as if you’re there where the music is playing! Which I prefer to use them for. Which is crazy since they’re considered a gaming headset.
@6:00 "that's what she said" LMao! 😂🔥
I just had to say I've experienced using cloud core up til 2019. The only problem I had with those headsets was the lack of good bass. The cloud alpha's are perfect. Thanks for your review.
Question for you: i heard you play overwatch. When playing overwatch back when you used the cloud ll’s, you played it with the 7.1 off? And with the dolby atoms in-game setting on?
Thanks for the review, mate. Off to get a pair.
Is it better to buy a cloud alpha even if there is no sound card?
so professional... those subs tho...
Really helpful review thanks!
this guy is so much more descriptive than any other channel i've seen. love the vid
Sold me the alphas and got a new subscriber
How is it
So what is the best headset ?
Hey man, you should continue this UA-cam channel of yours. I’m a subscriber since the beginning. You’re the one who convinced me on buying cloud alpha 2 yrs ago.
Great review I would prefer you over anyone else for reviews. You you sold me on the alphas, great headset, thanks.
Absolutely loved this review. I watched several others before this and the reviewers were so robotic. Then I stumble upon this dude who comes off so real with a genuine passion for sound.
People, please don't delay and get yourself a pair of Alphas. I don't care if your budget is only 50 dollars. Save up and buy these. You will not be disappointed. They are that good. I tried four other pairs before this and even after hours of playing with my EQ settings these sounded better out of the box. They're also comfortable to boot. Huge win for HyperX and these do indeed make the rest of the lineup obsolete.
Meh, I tested both and I prefer the Clouds II
Man which one Shud I get for competitive gaming dude ? Cloud 2's or alpha's
@@z3usky390 alphas trust me.
If you don't like the earpads there buy a pair of brainwavz velour earpads.
Spending 20 more is worth it trust me.
Are they good for ps4?
I got the cloud 2 since they were pretty cheap on black friday and the alpha wasn't on sale at all.
This vid was really good man, subscribed.
Good quality videos man! You need more subscribers tbh. Keep up the good work!
Sold me on the Alphas thanks for the review!
Do the Alphas sound good with ps4 like they do with PC? Can the ps4 remote power them? Or would you recommend the Flights for ps4?
Get the alphas and you could get the mixamp or the cloud 2 sound card
@@kevinarriaga742 don't you need a PC if you use a mixamp?
This helped me alot bro. I was stuck on this decision. I'm going to get me some Alphas today. Currently using the Cloud Stinger.
Love your style bud!! Keep up the good work!! 👍🏼
Cloud flights are my favorite. Went from the 2's to the flight.
What of them are best quality? CLOUD 2, ALPHA or FLIGHT? PLEASE I DONT KNOW WHAT WILL BUYYY
@@marcosrautenberg5987 the alpha has better mic, but the flight has better audio
@@dragontx1247 Yes? Because many competitive people use Alpha or Cloud 2 and dont use Flight why?
@@marcosrautenberg5987 because of preference, for competitive its better the alpha, but the flight isn't bad for that, the flight its more multifunctional
@@marcosrautenberg5987 flight is more for music, gaming, films, tv shows all that, the alpha is for gaming
My 7.1 razer souround headsets juat broke and im planing to buy the alphas but since i dosn't have 7.1 souround i dont know if they are still good for hearing where footstep's, gunshots are comming from. Can you hear sound forward, backwards, left and right cleary? If so im getting the alphas!
Same question here, hope he responds.
The alphas are much better even if it dosn't have souround, you hear footsteps easier!
Now After 6 months, Did You buy Alpha?
u can use razer surround for 7.1
@@Extravagant_Pickle Use Realtek or Dolby software
thank u for helping me, u re amazing
Keep up the reviews alot of detail thanks
lol “I don’t wanna get fist” lmao
"they are comfortable as hell"
i like how i read this as he said this.
Dude great vid, your personality shines through which I love. Get some frontal lighting and you'll be a pro in no time.
great review thxs for the advice
Great review c: im still wondering wich headset I should get for rainbow six siege because my razer chroma kraken randomly stopped working for no reason wich was frustrating but yeah. Do you suggest buying the alpha for this game or are there other options out there?
sad montagne Thanks! And to be perfectly honest at $99 there is not a better built, better sounding headset out there other than the HyperX Alpha. You won’t get a much better headset unless you decided to spend $250-$300 more on a different headset and EVEN then it’s not a drastic difference.
RaunchyMikey thanks for clearing things up its really appreciated c:
sad montagne not a problem! :)
purchase the b&o h7 headset for sure. Worth every penny if you like listening to Katy Perry and look rich af
sad montagne pls dont buy razer headphones chinese plastick junk
I hope they make Cloud Alpha gunmetal
I still cannot find any
Would be dope but my setup is already red and black so im ok with to original colour
they made the gold one which limited edition.
I just want it in all black
@@joploi ok
nice review, helped me a lot, thanks!
Great video Thank you !
10:20 was my favorite lol
How did the Alpha perform with the PS4? Wich Hyperx Headset is the best for PS4?
FBREVOLUTION Played Evil Within 2 with both and the HyperX Alphas won by a landslide. Amazing spatial awareness. Please get the Alphas you won’t regret it!
RaunchyMikey , thank you for the quick response. I will give the Alpha a try.
FBREVOLUTION how is it? I want to get one too.
RaunchyMikey the only problem with the alphas is they have a high impedance, higher then the controller can support. I went back to the cloud 2 especially now that the usb card is officially supported on PS4. Great video!
, After more research i decided to not buy this headsets because I am a console player and this are maybe fantastic with PC but i think not with my PS4. I decided to search for a wireless 7.1 Headset with good Mic Monitoring.
Subscribed, great video man. Keep up the awesome work.
Great Video, helped me out to suggest the Alpha ones to a friend :)
When you are doing another vid, I'll check it. You got the sub!
