Like the terrible reviewer I am, I forgot to add in sound quality LOL (It happens) Here it is: It is awesome. To me, it was the right amount of bass and highs. Mids not as noticeable like in most gaming headphones. I used my Sennhesier 598 SE as my reference. The sound quality is awesome and because the earcups cup your ears so well, the isolation is fantastic for something that doesn't have ANC. Sound quality is definitely not something you'll have to worry about :) Cheers!
@@2ndLastJedi yeah sure , if u hear the driver distorsion and suspension criplling ( if i wrote it how i should have ) that doesn't mean that the headphones produce 1 hz
@@koyoshima45 Hey, if you care about bass, look into ISK HD9999 or ISK MDH9000. The second ones are more bassy, but the first ones are greater overall and already have a noticeable V signature. They are also noticeably better than HyperX Cloud Alpha, I tested both.
@Kay0s it's super convenient to have it hooked up to the headset instead of having a separate huge mic on your desk. Also, the mics on these gaming headsets have good noise cancellation so only your voice is heard nothing else.
@@namlin idk but mine isnt ultra quality what can i do? I have my mic plugged right in, and ive seen many reviews with sick ass quality on the mic, i bought mine today and i will go to the store and change it to another one.
I've had this for about 7 months now and still sounds great. They are very comfortable and mic quality is pretty good for a headset with a price point of around 90$-100$. I would highly recommend these for anyone new or even familiarized with headset buying especially at the good price point.
SickPranks 58 hello, I bought them and the audio is very good, the footsteps of the enemies are perfectly heard. by chance have you noticed a lower sound compared to other headphones? to me it seems lower in volume but more precise, what do you say?
@@rubenoliveira3127 thank you soo much I was really confused because of this, that should I go with Cloud 2 for the soundcard or the Alpha...now it's Alpha :)
2:30 I can DEFINITELY agree as me and my family used to have like 10 (legit) 10-20$ headphones which all had fallen off the table while attached to a tablet / phone, so they broke. I have now got 50$ Skullcandy Grind's and they have this and I love that idea, looking forward for the HyperX Cloud Alpha. Awesome review thing though ;) Cheers!
All those impressive features for under $100? Wow...I’m picking up a pair although I own various Astro and Steel Series headsets already. Quality review as usual, bro. Thanks!
I too, love the traditional headset design-makes me feel like a bad ass. 😉 HyperX is leagues ahead of the competition in terms of price to performance.
One thing I wish reviewers would mention about this headset is that a lot of people has had problems with crosstalk/audio leakage with these, myself included. Especially when I watch movies on Discord, my friends can hear the audio from my microphone.
great review man. I just got the Cloud 2 and I love them. I agree that I wish the cloud 2 had the detachable cable. But I will say that the Cloud 2 does come with a better carrying/ storage bag.
I have this headset and LOVE it. I also recommend the Brainwavz Replacement Memory Foam Earpads, I have very large ears and these are almost necessary.
@Korvus I'm sure of it, and for me the replaceable cable makes it SUPER worth it. My headset in the past would break every 5 to 6 months because the cord wore out so I had to buy a 12-month warranty on it every time I got the replacement. These are great as the original cord that came with them broke so I just bought a cheap TRRS cable (a cable with a mic line in it as well as the stereo lines). The original cord was great quality though and I broke it in a stupid way (I dropped the headset and it pulled on the cord and basically bent the connector). The build quality of the headphones is great and I am still using these. So I definitely recommend them.
scum bag hello, I bought them and the audio is very good, the footsteps of the enemies are perfectly heard. by chance have you noticed a lower sound compared to other headphones? to me it seems lower in volume but more precise, what do you say?
Just picked up my Alpha's at Best Buy Black Friday sale for $80 bucks, and if your a Xbox guy like me get these asap, do not buy the Cloud 2's mainly because the 7.1 dongle don't work on Xbox so you will be stuck using the Xbox setting's adjusting volume and muting your microphone and u will get tired of that quickly lol the Alpha's has a inline audio cable that's detachable
I bought these over a year ago , my 1st pair of Hyper X cans, I absolutely love them, I bought a pair of Revolvers today but didn’t try them yet, I’m sure they will rock to!!! Like to have options, great video
there is excatly one thing on that headset that drove me crazy: That volume adjuster knob has a much larger diameter than the cable and is right on the hight of most tables. Therefore it will constantly get stuck on the table top when it is hanging down straight. I put a piece of shrink tube over it to make it slide over the tabletop edge.
I would HIGHLY recommend that people buy replacement ear pads for these. The ear pads wear down pretty quick and the speaker inside each ear cup is larger than what was inside the could 1 and 2. So if you have large ears like I do, those speakers will chafe and hurt your ears over time. Other than that, this headset is great.
it's sound quality is amazing for a 100$ gaming headset. you don't need 7.1 surround sound to pin point footsteps, stereo is good enough. 7.1 virtual surround sound is trash.
Xbox one. Party chat people heard echo through my set. I factory reset Xbox (per tech support). Then people heard static when I talked (no echo). The static went away when I plugged in "puck". Don't get why putting 3.5mm on controller if I have to use puck anyway. Any thoughts?
I subbed because i liked how you did the video, by far it felt like you paid a lot of attention to the video and the video just felt good in general to watch... I've been doing a lot of research on the internet and reviews/reddits etc and there is a common complaint that while using the microphone in-game sounds will be heard by people in voicechat programs like discord while using microphone.... So while the microphone quality just using the headset is good, supposedly the microphone quality while playing a game (which is when most of us will be using it) somehow picks up what you are listening to in-game. You have any thoughts or knowledge on this common complaint?
Mine broke in under a year because of the cord, mic was also always picking up sounds from UA-cam or games I was playing which is extremely obnoxious. Never mistreated them whatsoever.
You're right about the removable cable. I'm fed up of breaking headsets by having cables coming off the internals by an accidental tug or the cable catching on something. That alone will have me going for these. Shame about the lack of 7.1 and non-changeable ear pads.
I just bought Cloud Alpha yesterday and it has really good quality sound cause i tested Cloud II too in a tech market it has difference. But I have little cons about Alpha, it has a clamp force on just bottom of my ear and jaws. It is of pressure a lil bit and that makes me feel uncomfortable. I cant be sure it goes off ? Cloud II had more comfort. Will it go off
Honestly used to be set on these but if you look for non-gaming headsets you get much better. I got the beyerdynamic dt990's and they're only a bit more.
Nobody seems to answer only one question I have, is it loud on stock motherboard without an amp? I get it, it looks good and stuff, no video on UA-cam about cloud Alpha mentions anything about it's loudness, please reply fast before it gets out of stock for me.
Beyerdynamic for life dude. HyperX ain't bad. I've had a pair of these and the sound was oké as for this price range. The mic on them is sick, most definetly one of the better out there if you set it up right.
Does the alpha have 7.1 surround? I was think about getting the cloud 2s and now I saw this, one of the main reasons I wanted the cloud twos was the 7.1 surround with the sound card on the wire. I just wanna know if the alphas have that as well.
I don't know if you would reply or not but how do these compare to Logitech G Pro? I am Planning on getting that cause where I live, it's way cheaper than these right now?
Is the Cloud mix the same/ good/better than the alpha? And can you buy it from like America with ebay, because here in germany it's not available to buy yet and I want to have it at christmas.
mh752/751 are just better, better sound, lighter, better confort, better mic, it even comes with a entry preamp/dac, cheaper... This are popular bc hyperx paid the right persons to wear it, try to listen celebration day on those, its just not right, not bad but there are better options
Pls help me i am stuck between some of the headsets !!! Hyper cloud II / hyper cloud Alpha / steel series artics 5 / Sennheiser gsp 300 which one should i go for ?
I am all impresed , but I still cannot understand that why the new hyper x cloud alpha does not have 7.1 sourround sound , but the old hyper x cloud 2 do have this feature
as far as hearing footsteps they are okay can be improved using eq however the location is not the greatest sometimes the sound signature is ambigous like you can tell they are on the left but not exactly where they are. I got them for £30 so it was really good another problem i had with these headphones that people could hear your headphones sometimes which is really annoying.
I bought it as soon as it got released in my country (around february), had a Cloud 2 before. I sold it next day becouse the comfort and the sound quality was horrible compared to the Cloud 2 and i'm still using it. I really don't know what you all love in the Alpha, maybe it's just my opinion
does this headphone has high clamping force? I want a very high clamping force, I bought the hyperx cloud stinger and I was disappointed with the low clamping force. if this headphone doens't have a very high clamping force, do you recommend any other with high clamping?
i need some quick advice. my astro a50 mic is going out and i’m looking to get another headset. i’ve narrowed it down to the cloud alphas and the sehnessier game zeros. any advice with which one i should get?
I'd personally go for the cloud alphas because it's cheaper (according to amazon at least) and it has a removable mic and cable. But it's really up to you. If you like the design of the game zero's, nobody can tell you no :)
I love the hyper x cloud series best series for under or right at $100 in durability sound quality and comfort I would recommend to anyone wanting a headset 10/10 for the average gamer
Phobic Rapter hello, I bought them and the audio is very good, the footsteps of the enemies are perfectly heard. by chance have you noticed a lower sound compared to other headphones? to me it seems lower in volume but more precise, what do you say?
One thing that worries me are those little cables between the headband and the earcups. Do they break easily? Like i had one headphones with those tiny cables and now they are broken.
Considering how long they and how they're braided, it shouldn't break easily. It's long enough for the earcups to swivel at maximum angles and still have some slack. Unless it catches onto something and is forcefully pulled, there's no reason it'll break on you for regular use.
With one problem: this headset generates feedback signal from speakers to mic line. As the result all my team-mates have echo. Problem is localized in the "remote control" unit, I believe. I send the first one back, got replacement unit but it is still there. So, this is a great headset, just unusable ;-)
It's always like that. You can even remove the mic and the headset will still generate the echo. It's because this is not an acoustic issue but electric issue.
I hope someone sees this, I’m not sure if I should get this or the Cloud II. I’m a gamer who usually plays games like CoD and battle royales so I need to have good sound to hear footsteps and movement, which headset should I get?
Should i get that or studio headphones (Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 80 ohm)? Or maybe Astro A40? I want headphones that are comfortable and good for playing r6 siege and cs n stuff, Good for pinpointing enemies. And also listening music. Any suggestions? EDIT: Or maybe Logitech G Pro headset? Thats under 100 euros too... damn hard to decide.
I have the same Beyerdynamics in the 80 ohm version. I had the Alpha's but I sold them after I bought AKG K702's, I use the 770 for bass music and single player gaming and the AKG for softer stuff and multiplayer gaming where sound is more important. The AKG are open back, and so they are really good for pinpointing enemies and hearing different instruments, the 770 are still OK for this (much better than any gaming headset I've tried so far) but they don't compare to the AKG's soundstage which is fine because they aren't trying too. Some people say the 770 are too bassy and have a spike in the mids but I don't have a problem with them, the bass is moderate, I've heard comments that state that the bass is almost 1 note, I agree with this somewhat, whereas the AKG's bass is completely different. The AKG's bass doesn't shake, it's not very punchy at all and can be underwhelming but I can really tell the difference in the bass frequencies which I've never experienced before. So far, in terms of Gaming headsets I've had Alpha's, LucidSound LS20's (shocking build quality) and Turtle Beach XO 7 Pro's (oddly my faves as I don't usually like TB) both the studio headphones blew them away.
@@obenzie yeah I recommend them, they are only 62 ohms, still harder to power than the standard 32 ohms. It depends really, are you using for pc? If so what's your onboard audio like, I can run them off my b450 gaming pro carbon, I use a behringer umc202hd just because that's what my mics go through but can't tell the difference between that and my soundcard....
i got the alphas the audio is way better then arctis 3 terrible headset for the price in term of sound quality arctis 3 had reverse problem fine mids and high with minor imperfections but extremely lack in bass but alphas are not near perfect at all the bass is fine but other sound gets underperformed and it feels unbalanced bass is on point where it feels like cinematic the deeper the bass the louder bass gets but other sounds volume sounds a bit low then used to alphas sound like they are bass boosted and im no audiophile but it feels they are also DT 770pro 80ohms is from what ive heard similar family to takstar 80s that is rebranded into hyperX clouds alphas will benefit from equalizer or external sound card but never tried as for EQ its minor imperfections is alpha worth it only get it at a discount but theres always better alternatives for more or same price if you dont want to be dependent on custom EQ that can impact audio recordings these are a solid 7.5/10 at best but i need to experience more headsets to know the difference
The mute Button does not actually mute the headphones mic completely, it still leaks the sound from the headphones Mic. Dont know is the issues with my headphones or it works same way
hyperx paid you? cuz i got these for around christmas and they are heavy, for more than 1 hour the clamp force kinda hurts, and for about 2 hours is like having a ton on your head you need to take a break
Bass = low frequencies Footsteps = high frequencies (treble) Clouds are treble focused and can't handle bass Currently idk about the alpha, but the cloud 2 has 9khz spike @ 100dB, it makes ME sick cause I'm sensitive to highs. I recommend you buy a natural sounding headphone, if possible an open-back one with flat frequency response (sennheiser, audio technica, beyerdynamic, audeze, hifiman, monoprice...)
Like the terrible reviewer I am, I forgot to add in sound quality LOL (It happens)

does this headphone has high clamping force? I want a very high clamping force, I bought the hyperx cloud stinger and I was disappointed with the low clamping force. if this headphone doens't have a very high clamping force, do you recommend any other with high clamping?
Clamping force is pretty strong with these ones
Romsicle
Still recommend in mid 2020?
If so should I buy these or Cloud Stinger Wireless?
One last thing, do they have one single jack 3.5 mm or do they have those two red and green things to connect them to the computer?
i need some quick advice. my astro a50 mic is going out and i’m looking to get another headset. i’ve narrowed it down to the cloud alphas and the sehnessier game zeros. any advice with which one i should get?
I'd personally go for the cloud alphas because it's cheaper (according to amazon at least) and it has a removable mic and cable. But it's really up to you. If you like the design of the game zero's, nobody can tell you no :)
I use HyperX Cloud 2 ;) so fucking good
Which should I get? Razer Kraken pro v2 or HyperX Cloud Alpha?
Alphas
Should I get them for Realtek ALC892?
is it worth buying the alpha?
Is it the same as cloud ps4 and unfortunately no 7.1 surround sound
Should I get these or the steel series Arctic 5? I am on Xbox btw
I've got this headset but the Mic doesn't work can someone tell me please reply
See if it's plugged in all the way by the ear cup, thank me later!
@@atrocitus9804 I managed to work the Mic, it wasn't plugged in all the way before you wrote the comment but thanks anyway
Charlie Tizzard How did you manage it? I have this problem, too.
@@davutkulaksiz make sure it's plugged in all the way
Great review and all But you forgot to talk about the sound quality
I love the hyper x cloud series best series for under or right at $100 in durability sound quality and comfort I would recommend to anyone wanting a headset 10/10 for the average gamer
Phobic Rapter hello, I bought them and the audio is very good, the footsteps of the enemies are perfectly heard. by chance have you noticed a lower sound compared to other headphones? to me it seems lower in volume but more precise, what do you say?
One thing that worries me are those little cables between the headband and the earcups.
Do they break easily? Like i had one headphones with those tiny cables and now they are broken.
Considering how long they and how they're braided, it shouldn't break easily. It's long enough for the earcups to swivel at maximum angles and still have some slack. Unless it catches onto something and is forcefully pulled, there's no reason it'll break on you for regular use.
Great video and review
Thanks, appreciate it man
With one problem: this headset generates feedback signal from speakers to mic line. As the result all my team-mates have echo. Problem is localized in the "remote control" unit, I believe. I send the first one back, got replacement unit but it is still there. So, this is a great headset, just unusable ;-)
Yup, all models have same issue but noone talks about it. Cable and microphone are trash. Replaced mine aswell and had same issue.
The mic captures the sound coming from the headset speakers? It always like that or only when the sound is on max volume?
It's always like that. You can even remove the mic and the headset will still generate the echo. It's because this is not an acoustic issue but electric issue.
I have this headset 1 month and I have to say its beast!
Just purchased these should be here Saturday👀
The bass is great
Ik this was 10 months ago but do u still have them with any problems??
Myles Davison no problem at all still working like new💯
Can you tell me i have Cloud 2 what is diff from alpha and cloud??
I hope someone sees this, I’m not sure if I should get this or the Cloud II. I’m a gamer who usually plays games like CoD and battle royales so I need to have good sound to hear footsteps and movement, which headset should I get?
Romsilce do you know How to fix you mic because i have the headset but the mic is Really bad
You could ask HyperX to get you a replacement mic - might have to pay a fee if youre not on warranty.
Should i get that or studio headphones (Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 80 ohm)? Or maybe Astro A40? I want headphones that are comfortable and good for playing r6 siege and cs n stuff, Good for pinpointing enemies. And also listening music. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Or maybe Logitech G Pro headset? Thats under 100 euros too... damn hard to decide.
I have the same Beyerdynamics in the 80 ohm version. I had the Alpha's but I sold them after I bought AKG K702's, I use the 770 for bass music and single player gaming and the AKG for softer stuff and multiplayer gaming where sound is more important.
The AKG are open back, and so they are really good for pinpointing enemies and hearing different instruments, the 770 are still OK for this (much better than any gaming headset I've tried so far) but they don't compare to the AKG's soundstage which is fine because they aren't trying too.
Some people say the 770 are too bassy and have a spike in the mids but I don't have a problem with them, the bass is moderate, I've heard comments that state that the bass is almost 1 note, I agree with this somewhat, whereas the AKG's bass is completely different. The AKG's bass doesn't shake, it's not very punchy at all and can be underwhelming but I can really tell the difference in the bass frequencies which I've never experienced before.
So far, in terms of Gaming headsets I've had Alpha's, LucidSound LS20's (shocking build quality) and Turtle Beach XO 7 Pro's (oddly my faves as I don't usually like TB) both the studio headphones blew them away.
@@zejoesif So do you recommend the AKG K702? And does it need an amplifier?
@@obenzie yeah I recommend them, they are only 62 ohms, still harder to power than the standard 32 ohms. It depends really, are you using for pc? If so what's your onboard audio like, I can run them off my b450 gaming pro carbon, I use a behringer umc202hd just because that's what my mics go through but can't tell the difference between that and my soundcard....
@@obenzie saying that the alphas are 65 ohms, you should be fine
I have the hyper xcloud headphones but I have more voice sound in my left speaker! How do I fix this?
it’s just your left ear is more dominant
Do they have surround sound? Would they be good for battle royal games?
Gabe P i have them there great for battle royal games
@@jacobt379 thanke! :)
You can purchase a pair of 7.1 virtual dongles from the Hyper X website and they cost about $30.
@@garrettbyrne3895 okay, do you know if they work with console?
@@gabe2632 the revolver s 7.1 surround sound dongle will work with these on console, honestly dont need em though imo.
i got the alphas
the audio is way better then arctis 3 terrible headset for the price in term of sound quality
arctis 3 had reverse problem fine mids and high with minor imperfections but extremely lack in bass
but alphas are not near perfect at all the bass is fine but other sound gets underperformed and it feels unbalanced bass is on point where it feels like cinematic the deeper the bass the louder bass gets but other sounds volume sounds a bit low then used to
alphas sound like they are bass boosted and im no audiophile but it feels they are
also DT 770pro 80ohms is from what ive heard similar family to takstar 80s that is rebranded into hyperX clouds
alphas will benefit from equalizer or external sound card but never tried as for EQ its minor imperfections
is alpha worth it only get it at a discount but theres always better alternatives for more or same price if you dont want to be dependent on custom EQ that can impact audio recordings these are a solid 7.5/10 at best but i need to experience more headsets to know the difference
I had these for over a year now.
Would those headphones be better In console or on pc
I hate that people can hear what is going on in your headset ...
In party chat??
@@mylesdavison4429 No, it was actually a question
@@mylesdavison4429 i heard from someone that the miv picks up the sound from inside ur headset
Is that true?
Pajo idk i havent got the headset i was gng to but that is putting me off
bro are they better than cloud 2 if yes than why plz reply
then*
A removable cable - that's the only reason why it's better.
thank you bro
I dont know what to do should i get this first or a gaming chair first?
Gaming chairs aren't a necessity, but good audio is a must have :) Buy it with my links in the description!
The mute Button does not actually mute the headphones mic completely, it still leaks the sound from the headphones Mic. Dont know is the issues with my headphones or it works same way
There's probably an issue with yours. The mute switch is supposed to cut off all microphone functions so there should be no pick up.
If your mute button does not work like mine, remove the mic when you have to mute
Listening with my Alphas, HuHuHuHu
Is it good for mobile?
@@jo5pli559 they are fine on mobile. When watching a movie I hear a LOT more details that with any other headphones
@@zigamursec5600 what about games ?does it give a surround sound? Is the mic clear in it?
@@jo5pli559 I didnt use them for gaming on my phone yet but on pc they are the best
Bro Alpha or Cloud 2?
i just bought mine and this came in recomended.
hyperx paid you? cuz i got these for around christmas and they are heavy, for more than 1 hour the clamp force kinda hurts, and for about 2 hours is like having a ton on your head you need to take a break
I wish they paid me - it really depends on the size of your head - it will be tighter the smaller your head is
Don't worry my baby cloud 2, i still love you. No matter how tattered and dirty you've become, you still look beautiful.
AKACS The cloud 2’s are my absolutely favourite headset
Does the mic work when connected with a phone? Does the mic work when u connect the headset with the normal single cable?
Watch the video.
@@Romsicle haha. Nopemy mic isnt working with the samsung s9 nor with the tablet. Not for calling, not on pubg, fortnite
I bought those yesterday for 50€ on finland
@@kachmarmohamed7585 you can find them in teknikmagasinet rn for 50 euros
Which is better alpha or cloud 2?? I love big bass, so i can hear footstep better
Bass = low frequencies
Footsteps = high frequencies (treble)
Clouds are treble focused and can't handle bass
Currently idk about the alpha, but the cloud 2 has 9khz spike @ 100dB, it makes ME sick cause I'm sensitive to highs.
I recommend you buy a natural sounding headphone, if possible an open-back one with flat frequency response (sennheiser, audio technica, beyerdynamic, audeze, hifiman, monoprice...)
nice video... i have the Razer Kraken this Headset have so much comfort
Chaki261 they are meant to be uncomfortable but I don’t have them so I’m not sure.
who is better? razer kraken or hyperX Cloud alpha
@@joker-mk Hyperx Cloud Alpha
@@Chaki261 thanks i want to buy
can someone please tell me that if the sides of headset are matte plastic or ruberized plastic ?
The center is metal and the parts surrounding it is a hard plastic with a soft touch finish on top.
I have cloud alphas, and i love them.
hi what would you say is the best ones out of these ones and the cloud x revolver gears of war headset
