One thing I forgot to talk about in the vid is the 7.1 sound, but you all know my opinion on 7.1 on just about all headsets, garb............same here.
@@oncerain Look he is getting like me old! The bass sound on a pair of headsets in my 20's no problem. Now in my 40's just causes the ear to ring just a bit! So this comparison is more about what you might want to hear. Good mid range with adjustment(Alpha S) or a increase in power and bass just a bit more for younger crowd(Cloud 2). This is all about how you receive Audio in the inner ear drum.
I think that is not a good thing, every product out there must have cons and he's not mentioning them! for example, both headset don't come with software, they're a bit heavy for long gaming sessions, etc...
@@AhmedAdloof huh! We have team speak works on my cellphone and can talk during games for teens at mom's and dad's house. Heavy! Doesn't matter cloud 2 isn't heaviest headsets or MVP of headsets. Clearly put it is a step up in performance. 40 extra dollars looking for performance of 200 dollar headset. Isn't going to happen. Get what you pay for! Do you speak English?
I tried the alpha s in a store today and I instantly fell in love with them. Such a light feeling on the head compared to everything else I tested! Instantly bought them.
@@makdrumz I just have bought Razer Blackshark V2, because they are software adjustable, in reviews they say it's mic is louder and also software adjustable, and here they are $25 cheaper than Alpha S
Also the sound card that comes with the Cloud Alpha S has mic monitoring. You hold down the mute button for 3 seconds and it will turn mic monitoring on. Very helpful to make sure you're not talking to loud while gaming.
I used HyperX Cloud (not II, no surround crap) for over 4 years before it starting to die, so bought a Cloud Alpha (not S) and yes, I felt the same of this man: I always loved Clould's audio, for me everything was very nicely balanced, but, Alpha have something better, i feel like the sound is more deep and natural on this one.
got the Alpha S months ago and it's amazing, I recommend it to everyone. I've tried on my old razer headset recently and I dont think im ever going back to anything else
I upgraded from cloud II to Alpha S (cloud II broken) and here is the differences i noticed: -On alpha S the balence game/chat volume feature is amazing, a real life changer. -There is sidetone/mic monitoring on Alpha S, i didn't know about it and it is really nice ti have. - On the alpha S i have a pressure point on my Jaw i didn't have on cloud II, it's hurting me when i play a lot I feel like Alpha S is heavier however it is in fact lighter that Cloud II. I used a little bit 7.1 on cloud II, but here is Alpha S this is garbage as shit, compared to Cloud II. Never use 7.1 anyway for competitive gaming guys
@@abdelrahmanmohamed8329 My Cloud II broke and i played with earphones for 3 months. So when i switched i didn't noticed sound quality difference because of that 3 month gap. Both really great. Everyone tends to say that is a significantly better sound quantity on Alpha thought. And i did not have any troubles locating footsteps. And i say it again, if you like to play with 7.1, on my Alpha S it is really trash compared to the Cloud II
I've owned 2 pairs of cloud 2's, and I use them on pc through my sound blaster z sound card. They have great sound and are very comfortable, I can wear them all day without getting a headache like most other headsets I've used. my biggest issue is the leatherette ear cups start to flake pretty quick
Yea i switched to the foam ones they offered because of that. But the leathering on the head brace flakes off as well. Besides that the headphones function just fine 4 years later, which speaks to its durability.
You've sold me, I've had my cloud 2's for 5 years and today the audio jack snapped on me, loved the headphones literally to death and looking for new ones. Thanks for the review just order the alpha s. Happy the surgery went well!
i just got the alpha s and thought i'd share some points. I've not experienced any issues with this head set at all. i've done A LOT of research and looked at alternatives like hm752 and cloud 2, g pros, a bunch of them. I decided to go with this because it is the newest wired release of the hyper x sets and hyper x know what theyre doing. I would only play pc games and listen to music on these. the soundstage is amazing, i can hear so much in songs that i had never heard before, there is no distortion, and the volume sounds as it should. I've plugged the usb sound card into a usb 3 slot as i read it makes a difference vs usb 2. theyre very comfortable and i have no complaints at all. the bass sliders on the side make a noticeable difference, not a massive difference but you'd most likely have them in half or open positions. the hm752 lacks bass for gaming (its a flat sounding headset) and the alpha s has bass and there is the ear cup screw issue on the hm752 so i didnt want to take my chances with that (even if its been fixed in newer dispatches). there is no sound suppression besides the pleather pads which is the same design as the cloud 2 so there should be no difference. the mic sounds good, no cross talk or whirling sounds people have mentioned on the regular alpha (not s). i chose not to go with the cloud 2 because they were released in 2015 and again, the alpha is considered a successor to the cloud 2 in a way. i guess last thing is comfort and i find these very comfortable. i've tried clouds 2 before which are seen like a heavenly pillow for comfort and these feel just the same. oh last thing is actually the 7.1 feature, it sounds terrible but you shouldnt use it for gaming anyway.
hows your experience now man. I am really confused between mh752 and this because everyone keeps saying mh752 is better but also less durable. I also love to hear music with some bass
@@Samconery they’re still amazing. I would very much buy them again if I needed a new headset. Still no distortion, no signs of damage of any sort. Keep in mind you have the option to turn down the bass on these if you need to, so you’re not limited to the one bass setting. Most people keep their bass setting in mid or max.
You have become my go to for reviews. Your reviews have covered several questions I have had over several products I have been interested in. Keep up the great work!
Definitely going for the Alpha S, the detachable 3.5 cable is the biggest plus. I’ve had headsets that were a hundred dollars in the past and if you bent the aux you lose sound in one side of the headset, a 5 dollar 3.5 wire would literally ruin your 100 dollar headset. That’s why I think the s cloud is flat out better
I bought Cloud II like 5 years ago, after like two years, I stood up and the cable was under my chair wheels, completely tore the cable from the headset. Ended up getting a 3.5mm female aux connector and wired it into the headset, now I can change aux's. Now I need a new headset, glad hyperx released a pair with detachables now
Love the review no bias or anything. I like what you said on the decision makings. Love both even I don't have them in my ears but someday, so excited to have the Cloud II
I'm so glad I bought the alpha s from Amazon. the blue color was 109 and blacked out color was 129. only 10 difference so I bought the alpha s. it fits super comfortably on my big head. I'm 100% satisfied with them
@@tempest1212 i have the red and black or orange and black pair of the cloud 2, i play fps only and I usually hear the enemy before my team mates. The clarity is fantastic. Im also 40yrs old, so im sure someone younger may do better with them. They are also extremely comfortable

Alpha S and Cloud 2s are pretty much similar headsets, I’ve tried both for extended periods of time and the comfort and sound quality are very similar, wherever ( as techne said ) the mic is definitely better on the cloud 2s, the mic on the alphas wasn’t the clearest
GOAT reviews, its similar to havin a wealthy friend that owns a lot of products and is giving you a definitive answer depending on your situation. Thanks a lot!
Idk how to thank you enough , I was looking for both of them since too long trying to decide which to get and now I made my mind thanks to you , you helped me a great deal ✨👍
I've had my cloud 2s for like 3yrs and love em, def time for an upgrade thou and I just cant decide on what to get lol was gonna get the black shark v2s but think ima go with the alpha s, I know they will be good! Thanks for the review
@@drizzlydr4ke yes i did went with the alpha s and must say they are great for the price they actually sound better than the cloud2s and are way more comfortable as well! The mic is about the same as the cloud2s thou thats the only down side to this headset tbh.
@@dizzmantle9172 I've heard that the Cloud Alpha catches a lot of noise coming out of your headset, if you're talking to people in discord they can hear the sound through your mic, have you experienced that? Thats basically the only dealbreaker for me that has stopped me from buying the headset this far
ei mano, resume o vídeo aí por favor, eu não sei qual headset pegar e eu não sei muito inglês... eu queria saber qual dos dois vale mais a pena pegar nessa black friday
@@Hackerinsidification Em qualidade de áudio os 2 são boas opções. Eu prefiro o Alpha S, pois possui uma qualidade de áudio um pouco superior (em minha opinião). Em aspectos de design do produto, eu prefiro o Alpha S também pelas cores menos chamativas e ter o cabo destacável, facilitando a manutenção caso o cabo apresente defeito.
This is the video that I've been waiting for because I just bought a Alpha S and I would like to know which is better. Also, I love your reviews and I love how you speaking/ how detailed and good you speaking. Iam Hungarian and you are understandable, speaking clear. Thanks for this video
Thanks for you review of this product. I bought a pair this month, of the regular cloud x headphones, and they were fantastic. One of the best purchases I've made this year. Now if I could just find a over ear wireless ear bud, that you can actually can hear while their on. That would be fantastic too. Thank you again.
I own the alpha s blue color and REALLY love them. They are almost on-par with some studio-grade heaphones (audio technica, AKG, Beyerdynamic). They are amazing. I like the bass slider all the way open and the bass isn't over-powering, instead it's natrual. Everything you say about them I 100% agree. I used to own the cloud 2's for awhile and thought they were perfect, then the alpha s just takes it to the next level. Now I'm thinking of buying the blackout version lol
If I'm going for expensive headphones ( yes these are really expensive in my country) Alpha s would be better right because all of the streamers are getting cloud 2 here so im really afraid of making the wrong choice
Honest review after 3 days usage: I have been trying to get Alpha s for more than 2 yrs. Since the price was too high in my country I bought Sony xb-55ap earphone last year, hoping to buy alpha s this year 2021. I have used Sony earphones for more than 6months and alpha s for just 3 days now. I haven't changed the equalizer settings. Points- 1) hyperx had slightly more volume 2)Sony had better and more bass 3) Sony is worth the price -sony = 30$ -alpha s = 150$ 4) Both are built to last long 5) While playing Apex both were same (7.1 is nothing other than boosting the volume) I thought headphones gives really different gaming experience. That's why I bought even though it costed me 150$. But this Is a big disappointment coz 30$ earphone was on par with it Ask me if u HV any doubts *If anything different is observed I will update this*
Omg i stopped watching for a while because I had my entire setup and didn’t need any more suggestions but I have to give you credit you gave me all the suggestions respect for you is high hope you reach a million soon
I have been use the Cloud alpha s for two month and let me tell you something it is the best hyperx headset i ever used and i used a lot except the orpit witch is gonna be my next upgrade .
i bought so many headset from a wide price range (like 50$ to 200$) and for real the cloud alpha s are the best so far (after the mmx 300 v2) in comfort and quality !
I have an old pair of cloud's and they sound great...but the left ear stopped working after 3 years - and I wasn't abusive to the headset at all. Starting to see the value of the cables being modular on the Alpha's...if this happened again I could just replace the cable instead of messing around with trying to re-solder super tiny headset wires. Great review...helped make my decision to go with the Alphas.
I have owned both of these headphones and am someone who owns pretty expensive headphones and earphones and from experience i enjoyed the Musical sound of the Cloud 2's more than the alpha s, i also used both with amplifiers and it was honestly a massive difference, in my opinion the Cloud 2's are much better for music.
@@JoaopJr-ej3dn im not sure because i never used both for gaming back to back, i only tested them both for music performance, but you definitely can't go wrong with either one, the detachable cable is 100% the biggest pro of the alpha over the cloud 2, if either one is considerably cheaper you should get the cheaper one because both are great.
I had Cloud II for like mny years i change to Alpha S and now bought my new fresh Cloud II again . Tbh i feel way better on Cloud II idk why but thats my choise.
My cloud 2’s are still working 4 years later but the material is starting to peel off. Still functions, but maybe it’s bout time i go for the alpha s. Especially since it’d discounted by $30 right now.
@@mightymochi6320 My Cloud 2's audio still works as well as it did when I first bought it, but my microphone was making static noises so I decided to upgrade. Might've been the USB dongle but I'd rather buy a new headset because my Gaming Setup is Purple/Black now and the Red Cloud 2's didn't match. Loving my new Alpha S in Black, it's like the Cloud 2's older brother. The discount made it all the more worth it and it didn't take long to arrive!
For the price range they sell at, Hyper-X are underrated headsets. Even the Cloud-I is still a good headset. Depending on the game im playing, depends whether I use my Cloud-I, Cloud-II or Revolver - Gears of War Edition (Didn't need the S as the Cloud-II comes with the 7.1 dongle). Great headsets for the price.
Thanks for letting me know the differences. I think I'll just modify my Cloud II's with a removable cable jack and re-soldier the internal wires, replace the fabric on the headband, and I'll go ahead and get rid of that rubberized coating that's on them and replace it by painting them and just get replacement pads and mic. :)
I'm using cloud ii's for bout 5 years now. The earpads were falling apart, changed them out for some brainwavz, now the headband is pretty much gone... Thinking about upgrading to the alpha s but still keeping the cloud ii as a fantastic backup set.
@@naden5847 Hi, I bought another set of cloud 2 in grey instead of the red. A few weeks later I got a great deal on a new set of Beyerdynamic MX300. That’s what im using to this day. Huuuuuge step up from the HyperX in terms of sound quality and especially in terms of the microphone. It’s not even comparable. The MX300 *almost* sounds external-mic good. If you have the money - go for it. You will not regret it.
Well I was going the HyperX route and thinking about taking the Stinger for the headset. Looks like I'm going to need to wait a little bit and get those Cloud Alpha S instead... damn it haha
Bought the cloud 2 on release, they just died a week ago, lost sound on the left side. Sad day, but looking forward to trying the alpha s. Thanks for the review
i have the cloud 2, i bought them about two months ago, they are fantastic, would love to upgrade but maybe next year, because the cloud 2s are way more than enough honestly
"You know what I mean?" haha awesome info man and thank you for the extensive review, comparison and testimonial of your experience. My wire wore out on the HyperX Clouds I have and they're not detachable so rather tan buy a soldering iron, wires and plugs to hopefully fix it, I am buying the Alpha S set and will get back to the other headphones sometime later! The game must go on, as well as the editing, remixing and music production work! Can't wait to get them on Sunday. Thanks again!
thank you so much for explaining... last week i watch this video.. then i buy alpha s then booom much much muchh different than my old headphone this one is crazy awesome.. i suggest u guys buy hyperx alpha s
One thing I forgot to talk about in the vid is the 7.1 sound, but you all know my opinion on 7.1 on just about all headsets, garb............same here.
Ok 👍
Wouldn’t but it for the 7.1 sounds very tinny and like your in the bathroom
we should compare the Alpha and Alpha S .. they should be very close. the Alpha don't have a removable power cord and no 7.1
You ever gonna review the jbl quantum series headsets?
Would you say the alpha s is good to listen to hip hop/rap music with bass? Or should I go with the original alphas?
Underrated tech reviewer. Really helps people

It’s true. Have them both. Bass slider is what made it expensive, IMHO.

Is it alott better are just a lil bit bc I might return these for cloud 2 idk yet tho

@@dizzmantle9172 I've heard that the Cloud Alpha catches a lot of noise coming out of your headset, if you're talking to people in discord they can hear the sound through your mic, have you experienced that? Thats basically the only dealbreaker for me that has stopped me from buying the headset this far
You're a very good reviewer! Greetings from Brazil!
thank you so much!
ei mano, resume o vídeo aí por favor, eu não sei qual headset pegar e eu não sei muito inglês... eu queria saber qual dos dois vale mais a pena pegar nessa black friday
@@Hackerinsidification Em qualidade de áudio os 2 são boas opções. Eu prefiro o Alpha S, pois possui uma qualidade de áudio um pouco superior (em minha opinião). Em aspectos de design do produto, eu prefiro o Alpha S também pelas cores menos chamativas e ter o cabo destacável, facilitando a manutenção caso o cabo apresente defeito.
@@danielcarvalho3082 obrigado amigo, ja tenho minha escolha!
This is the video that I've been waiting for because I just bought a Alpha S and I would like to know which is better. Also, I love your reviews and I love how you speaking/ how detailed and good you speaking. Iam Hungarian and you are understandable, speaking clear. Thanks for this video
Steven joshua Cruz yeah but you can use the control mixer
Steven joshua Cruz yeah I think its really comfortable and good for gaming
Thanks for you review of this product. I bought a pair this month, of the regular cloud x headphones, and they were fantastic. One of the best purchases I've made this year. Now if I could just find a over ear wireless ear bud, that you can actually can hear while their on. That would be fantastic too. Thank you again.
I own the alpha s blue color and REALLY love them. They are almost on-par with some studio-grade heaphones (audio technica, AKG, Beyerdynamic). They are amazing. I like the bass slider all the way open and the bass isn't over-powering, instead it's natrual. Everything you say about them I 100% agree.
I used to own the cloud 2's for awhile and thought they were perfect, then the alpha s just takes it to the next level.
Now I'm thinking of buying the blackout version lol
If I'm going for expensive headphones ( yes these are really expensive in my country) Alpha s would be better right because all of the streamers are getting cloud 2 here so im really afraid of making the wrong choice
I got the black ones love them!
Alpha S is great, awesome comparison bro. my Cousin have the S, I used it playing WZ it was so crispy
Better with 7.1 sound or not?
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO I GOT A ALPHA S AND CANT WAIT TO USE THEM FOR MY FIRST PC BUILD
Best reviewer as always
Thank you so much!
The Techne no thank you so much for being such a great UA-camr
Honest review after 3 days usage:
I have been trying to get Alpha s for more than 2 yrs. Since the price was too high in my country I bought Sony xb-55ap earphone last year, hoping to buy alpha s this year 2021. I have used Sony earphones for more than 6months and alpha s for just 3 days now. I haven't changed the equalizer settings.
Points-
1) hyperx had slightly more volume
2)Sony had better and more bass
3) Sony is worth the price
-sony = 30$
-alpha s = 150$
4) Both are built to last long
5) While playing Apex both were same (7.1 is nothing other than boosting the volume)
I thought headphones gives really different gaming experience. That's why I bought even though it costed me 150$. But this Is a big disappointment coz 30$ earphone was on par with it
Ask me if u HV any doubts
*If anything different is observed I will update this*
alpha S is worth it nowadays?
Omg i stopped watching for a while because I had my entire setup and didn’t need any more suggestions but I have to give you credit you gave me all the suggestions respect for you is high hope you reach a million soon
I have been use the Cloud alpha s for two month and let me tell you something it is the best hyperx headset i ever used and i used a lot except the orpit witch is gonna be my next upgrade .
I was gonna go with stinger but now I think I should aim higher to alpha S ( or just alpha). Do you think it worth it?
A thoroughly enjoyable, balanced, informative vid. Thanks.
i bought so many headset from a wide price range (like 50$ to 200$) and for real the cloud alpha s are the best so far (after the mmx 300 v2) in comfort and quality !
I have an old pair of cloud's and they sound great...but the left ear stopped working after 3 years - and I wasn't abusive to the headset at all. Starting to see the value of the cables being modular on the Alpha's...if this happened again I could just replace the cable instead of messing around with trying to re-solder super tiny headset wires. Great review...helped make my decision to go with the Alphas.
Thank you for detailed explanation and recommendation for Alpha S, I proceed with Cloud 2.
I have owned both of these headphones and am someone who owns pretty expensive headphones and earphones and from experience i enjoyed the Musical sound of the Cloud 2's more than the alpha s, i also used both with amplifiers and it was honestly a massive difference, in my opinion the Cloud 2's are much better for music.
And for gaming? Which you prefer?!
@@JoaopJr-ej3dn im not sure because i never used both for gaming back to back, i only tested them both for music performance, but you definitely can't go wrong with either one, the detachable cable is 100% the biggest pro of the alpha over the cloud 2, if either one is considerably cheaper you should get the cheaper one because both are great.
@@naseralshareef3026 thanks!
@@JoaopJr-ej3dn no problem, good luck with your choice!
You always have a positive mood keep up the good work
This dude is underrated
Keep up the good work ! Stay safe 😄
thank you so much
Thanks for the detailed comparison. I have the Cloud 2. I'm going to buy the Alpha S for some loved ones.
Hello dude so I just wanna ask since you used both which one was better in your opinion ?
I had Cloud II for like mny years i change to Alpha S and now bought my new fresh Cloud II again . Tbh i feel way better on Cloud II idk why but thats my choise.
why tho?
Thanks for this video sir, Very Informative
Love the vids!
You're the reason why I have a fantastic gaming setup!
You were the first video to pop up looking for what’s better of these and you helped me thank you! You just got a new subscriber
I was waiting for this video for a long time. Thank you!
Thank you for this comparison, decided to upgrade to the Alpha S from my Cloud 2's that are coming to the end of its run after a good few years.
My cloud 2’s are still working 4 years later but the material is starting to peel off. Still functions, but maybe it’s bout time i go for the alpha s. Especially since it’d discounted by $30 right now.
@@mightymochi6320 My Cloud 2's audio still works as well as it did when I first bought it, but my microphone was making static noises so I decided to upgrade. Might've been the USB dongle but I'd rather buy a new headset because my Gaming Setup is Purple/Black now and the Red Cloud 2's didn't match. Loving my new Alpha S in Black, it's like the Cloud 2's older brother. The discount made it all the more worth it and it didn't take long to arrive!
Do you find them better than the 2s?
Watched your review and I brought the alpha s headphones for $100 a great deal
i was having trouble choosing thank you so much for this man!
what did you choose ?
@@siren4249 alpha s is clearly better
@@Hi-gj7kb thx bro
Superb review man
Thank you so much
For the price range they sell at, Hyper-X are underrated headsets. Even the Cloud-I is still a good headset. Depending on the game im playing, depends whether I use my Cloud-I, Cloud-II or Revolver - Gears of War Edition (Didn't need the S as the Cloud-II comes with the 7.1 dongle). Great headsets for the price.
Awesome comparison!!
Thanks for letting me know the differences. I think I'll just modify my Cloud II's with a removable cable jack and re-soldier the internal wires, replace the fabric on the headband, and I'll go ahead and get rid of that rubberized coating that's on them and replace it by painting them and just get replacement pads and mic. :)
Did you ever get to do this project? Lol
Lol
I've had the same Astro A40 headset for last like 9 years and only now they have started to die on me thanks for the review!
I'm using cloud ii's for bout 5 years now. The earpads were falling apart, changed them out for some brainwavz, now the headband is pretty much gone... Thinking about upgrading to the alpha s but still keeping the cloud ii as a fantastic backup set.
Hi sorry what did you do in the end? I have to pick between the clou2 alpha and alpha s. 2 years but maybe you ll answer xD
@@naden5847 Hi, I bought another set of cloud 2 in grey instead of the red. A few weeks later I got a great deal on a new set of Beyerdynamic MX300. That’s what im using to this day. Huuuuuge step up from the HyperX in terms of sound quality and especially in terms of the microphone. It’s not even comparable. The MX300 *almost* sounds external-mic good. If you have the money - go for it. You will not regret it.
Great video I’ve been looking for a new headset keep it up 👍🏽
thank you
Thx for the video, i just went and bought the alpha s
#1 man on the world for tech review! You really helped me!
you're great .. helped me alot choosing now!
Well I was going the HyperX route and thinking about taking the Stinger for the headset. Looks like I'm going to need to wait a little bit and get those Cloud Alpha S instead... damn it haha
Same here.
You dont need to apologise bro, along as we get a video, it doesn't matter how long it takes to film and upload.
Great video, keep it up👍❤
Your charisma is like Alpha Cloud Alpha S ... And you are right! But, thanks to you, too, I have chosen Audio-Tehnica ATH-G1. Thank you!
Bought the cloud 2 on release, they just died a week ago, lost sound on the left side. Sad day, but looking forward to trying the alpha s. Thanks for the review
i have the cloud 2, i bought them about two months ago, they are fantastic, would love to upgrade but maybe next year, because the cloud 2s are way more than enough honestly
Hey did u encounter mic problems on ur cloud 2 while using discord? Anf if so how did u fix it?
I got the cloud II for 55€/$ almost one year ago and I can tell that they still work great today.
Ty alot its realy heplfull i was confusing which one i will take THANKS again 👍
"You know what I mean?" haha awesome info man and thank you for the extensive review, comparison and testimonial of your experience. My wire wore out on the HyperX Clouds I have and they're not detachable so rather tan buy a soldering iron, wires and plugs to hopefully fix it, I am buying the Alpha S set and will get back to the other headphones sometime later! The game must go on, as well as the editing, remixing and music production work! Can't wait to get them on Sunday. Thanks again!
thank you so much for explaining... last week i watch this video.. then i buy alpha s then booom much much muchh different than my old headphone this one is crazy awesome.. i suggest u guys buy hyperx alpha s
Love the review man helped get my new favorite headset which was the alpha s
Thank You for helping me choose 😊 I'm going with the alpha s
Thank you for this video. I was just choosing between these two :) . Going with Alpha S o/
Great review, and not at all boring, tnx alot.
thank you
Great video, so much detailed information.
thank you so much
What an awesome review! Cheers!
Out of the Arctis 5, Arctis 1, Hyperx cloud 2, Hyperx cloud S, and the Hyperx cloud core how would you rank them from worst to best in your opinion.
i wanna know too
I would go with the hyperx cloud S
@@nadavb1983 I would say arctis 1 is the worst then arctis 5 then cloud 2 then alpha s
great video, usually they never do this much testing for a video but he put in a lot of effort in this, u got my sub
Great review!!
this man the techne is the GOAT for his reviews bro this man is a hero without a cape
Well, the two headsets cost exactly the same in my country, so I guess that I'll go with the Alpha S. Thanks for the review.
Same for me... Germany i ordered the cloud2 on amazon but will send it back 2 get the alpha s
@@slivspinz1665 bist du am PC oder console?
Logitech g pro headset beats both right? I got them after watching your review I’m highly
Satisfied with them :)
A great headset there
Alphas a bit better than g pro, with materials too
Had the g pro wireless, took them back, not terrible but I expected more.
Thanks for the review im getting the alpha s im upgrading my iems lol! you always help me deciding what periph i should get
Techne uploads. I watch. I like.
