An absolutely fantastic gaming headset - and a battery life champion

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024

UPDATE: I’ve had these headphones for about 3 months now, and would like to clarify a few things. I initially thought this microphone was an improvement over the wired version, however, I can now confidently say that this microphone is slightly worse. It’s not amazing, and it’s a bit more static-y than the wired version’s mic. It’s definitely not bad, though, and I have heard so so much worse. Also, after using these headphones for (on average) a few hours every day at 60% volume, the battery life has definitely held up. I end up charging them once they get to about 30% or lower, which usually takes 2-3 weeks. I’d say that’s pretty damn good.

Before this headset, I was using a HyperX Cloud II Wired, but I decided I wanted to go wireless, but definitely stay in the HyperX family. All I can say is this headset is a very worthwhile upgrade over the Cloud II, or even if you're not upgrading from anything. It is without a doubt the best headset I have ever owned and I definitely won't be changing headsets any time soon.

Comfort:
I initially fell in love with the way the Cloud II fit on my head, and this headset only improves upon that. I never considered the Cloud II uncomfortable even after 10+ hours of consecutive use, yet the Cloud Alpha somehow improved upon it. It has a much softer headband and the included ear cups are probably the best I've ever used on a headset. I even tried to upgrade to some Wicked Cushions (which are available on amazon and they have great reviews) but they were honestly a downgrade, they were stiffer and more angular, which lead to a less comfortable experience. Add to that the fact that this headset is fairly light (i didn't weigh it but it definitely isn't heavy.

Sound Quality:
I'm no audiophile, and these definitely aren't studio-level headphones, but I'd say the sound quality is quite good. You're going to experience the typical gaming headset sound profile of slightly exaggerated bass, but that should be expected as that is typically favorable in games, and also sounds pretty good when listening to music (depending on what you listen to, of course.) I'd say the audio quality is about as good as the wired Cloud II, if a little better, and that's to say, quite good for a gaming headset.

Microphone:
The microphone is also a slight improvement over the Cloud II, which was already great in my opinion, though this may vary unit to unit because some people complain about poor microphone quality. Also, there is a red LED mic mute indicator which is always welcome and a nice improvement over the Cloud II. Additionally, within the HyperX NGENUITY software there is an option to enable "Mic Monitoring" which basically allows you to hear yourself when you talk (there is practically zero noticeable delay). This likely drains battery life but I will definitely be keeping it on because I love it as a feature and haven't had a single headset that actually has this feature since I had a pair of Turtle Beach Recon 50's many years ago. Not everyone will like this feature but I am personally a big fan.

Battery Life:
The advertised "300 hour" battery life may or may not be true, I wouldn't know considering I haven't needed to charge the headset since I got it. In all seriousness, it is very good, and there is a battery percentage readout in the HyperX NGENUITY software that also says the hours of charge left. I haven't timed it but I'd wager the actual battery life (depending on what audio level you use, if you use spatial audio, etc.) is around 200-250 hours which is incredible.

Build Quality:
There's not much to say here, the build quality is pretty good. It's a mix of a soft-touch plastic and metal (probably aluminum) and feels pretty nice.

Overall, I would highly recommend this headset if you're in the market for a nice wireless gaming headset.

Exceeded expectations

(TL;DR at bottom)
-----------------------------------background--------------------------------------
***I've used this headset for 4 months now at the time of this initial post***

For comparison:
-I've tried many headsets from razer and turtle beach
-Last headset was: Razer BlackShark V2 Pro

What I wanted in a headset:
-Good sound quality
-Durable
-Wireless
-Comfort for long duration
-Extensive battery per charge (main focus)
-Isn't overly priced

I work as a developer and use it to listen to music for the greater part of my day then bring them home for entertainment usage like gaming. It was an absolute pain if I just so happened to forget to charge the night before or forget the charging cord between places.

-----------------------------------sound quality--------------------------------------
-In all honesty, the sound quality felt pretty typical for a gaming headset and is what you'd expect it to be.
-This does NOT mean it is bad in any way. It is pretty good, but it's standard and nothing too crazy; certainly isn't music production level quality.

-In comparison to the razer, it does feel slightly sharper/more pronounced but the difference is negligible. The only time I can notice the difference is probably swapping headsets between an extended time of use.

-----------------------------------durability------------------------------------------
-It is very durable in comparison to headsets I've used in the past and this exceeded my expectations greatly.
-On numerous occasions as I'm holding it or taking it somewhere, I'd clumsily drop it on pavement as I'm walking or accidentally scrape it a bit against a surface. Still no marks to this day.
-It is also very flexible so extensively bending it outwards when putting it on does it no harm.

-The last turtle beach headset I ever used did not last even a year under even tamer conditions as I wasn't using it as much as I do now. It was hard plastic and the left ear piece literally snapped and was just a wire keeping it dangling.

-The prior razer headset was far better than any of the turtle beaches, but on the occasions where I clumsily dropped it against a pavement or a rigid surface, it will leave a mark quite easily.

-----------------------------------comfortability------------------------------------------
-As I said, it is quite flexible and the ear pieces are cushioned well with foam.
-This effectively means it wont feel like a freakin' clamp on your head when wearing it for a long duration where the headset is constantly trying to curl back into place.
-The cushion on the ear pieces and above the head passes standard comfortability and is nothing mind-blowing.

-The last turtle beach headset was a clamp. It's plastic material wasn't flexible (which contributed to why it snapped) and was always uncomfortable after wearing for only a few consecutive hours.

-The razer was more comfortable but the compromises that build design brought far outweighed what this hyperx has to offer. By compromises, I'm primarily referring to noise cancellation as sound would just go come through the foam quite easily for the raze; the hyperx greatly avoids this issue. Regardless, the hyperx is still comfortable enough to where I can enjoy it for just as long.

-----------------------------------wireless--------------------------------------------------
-It's wireless functionality works over a further distance away than any of the prior headsets I've used. I can go from room to room on the same floor or a floor down/up and it'd still work perfectly fine. Anything further than that will progressively lose connection and cutout more and more which is understandable.
-In terms of close connection, I've NEVER lost connection at my desk as long as it had battery.

-All of my older headsets that are wireless could barely go from room to room. The most prior modern headset I had, the razer, would entirely lose connection a floor above or below and experience constant cutouts going out of my room to just across the hall. Either hyperx is just ahead of the game or these others are settling on a budget.

-----------------------------------300 hr battery life--------------------------------------------------
-This perk alone probably made the purchase for me.
-I have NOT tested this to the full duration extent because I normally just charge it when it hits around 10-20%, but the longevity is no gimmick.
-From experience, at the very least, it has lasted over 3 weeks over average daily use of around 10-12 hrs.
-Needless to say, even if it isn't hitting the full 300hrs and is certainly a hell of a lot better than needing to remember to charge a headset every single night. It brought me great convenience and far surpassed my expectations.

-----------------------------------other quirks and benefits--------------------------------------------------
-The material of the earpiece/foam is contained by an outer layering and this layering covers the ears very well for decent noise cancellation.
-Also because it has this outer layering, cleaning/wiping it is a painless process.

-The mic when you mute via headset (there a button under the left ear) will turn on a red led on the mic piece to indicate and let you know you're muted.

-The volume adjuster is a scroll wheel under the right ear which makes the design more sleek without having a random knob sticking out of the side.

-When you hold the power button to turn on the headset, it will tell you your battery percentage
-When your headset is already turned on, you can just click the power button once and it will also tell you the battery percentage.

-When no audio is played even if you're at your desk and online, it will turn off by itself to conserve battery.
-When you go way too far from connection, it will think you're offline and do the same to conserve battery.

Aside from the noise cancellation and automatic turn off for some of my older headsets, the other benefits I just listed weren't available which just adds to the worth for buying this headset for me.

-----------------------------------cons----------------------------------------------------
-Only three cons to date that didn't really matter much to me, but should be made aware.
1) ***VERY RARELY*** when I go too far away from connection, the headset will glitch blaring the same sound loudly. It's tough to explain the issue but you can just turn off and then turn the headset back on to fix it.
-Nothing like this ever happened to me while at my desk though.
-And out of the numerous times I walk a bit far from connection it normally will turn off by itself to conserve battery thinking you're offline, but only around 2-3 times so far that I can remember has this issue occurred.

2) This 2nd issue may be more of a deal breaker to some, and I don't know if it's a common issue. The audio scroll on my headset doesn't really work sometimes (it is inconsistent). I personally didn't really care because I set audio levels through my settings, pc, and individual website instead of adjusting them all through the scroll.

3) Although it does read the battery percentage to you, it does so only in 10s (i.e. "Battery level is 40%" or "Battery level is 50%"); no in between.

-----------------------------------pricing--------------------------------------------------
-I bought this when it was at $119.99 around black friday - cyber monday time, so it was even more worth it in my opinion. I don't remember the original pricing before the sale, so can't really compare that price to where it's gone right now.

-The rounded price of the razer right now is $130 and this hyperx is $170. The greater convenience and benefits this hyperx provides in comparison far outweighs the difference of $40 for me. Unless there some other brand doing what hyperx is doing with same-better quality and pricing that I've not kept up with, I can't recommend this one enough.

-----------------------------------TL:DR--------------------------------------------------
-SOUND QUALITY is as expected and is of standard for a gaming type headset. (nothing mind-blowing)

-DURABILITY is very good in comparison. Numerous drops or light scrapes often don't even leave a mark from my experience using it.

-COMFORTABILITY: above standard but not the best I've had. The headset's frame is quite flexible while remaining durable so it won't feel like a clamp wearing it for long periods of time as some headsets I've had always try to squeeze back to place given their less flexible material.

-WIRELESS over way longer distances compared to past purchases. Room to room, floor above, or floor below all remain stable in connection. Anything further gradually loses connection.

-300HR BATTERY LIFE: While untested to the full extent, from experience. I can confirm I've gone uncharged for over 3 weeks of daily 10-12hr usage. Far more convenient than any other headset I've used.

OTHER QUIRKS/BENEFITS:
1) Foam for earpieces and above head have outer layer, making it easier to clean and provides decent noise cancellation.
2) Mic piece lights up red when you click the mute button on headset as a convenient indication.
3) Volume adjuster (scroll) under right ear piece instead of a knob makes headset more sleek.
4) Turning on headset or clicking power button while on will read you a rough estimate of the battery percentage left.
5) When too far from connection or no audio is played for a period of time(even if you're within connection), it turns off automatically to reserve battery.

CONS:
1) When too far away, normally it turns off by itself, but in the 4 months I've used it, around only 2-3 times it glitches and blares a non-ending long sound.
2) Although it reads you the battery percent, it only does so by 10s and no in between.
3) The audio scroll on the headset is inconsistent (sometimes it doesn't work); doesn't really affect you if you adjust volume through pc settings.

-PRICING: out of all the headsets I've used so far, this has to be the best I've had thus far. Even if I splurge a bit more than other headsets on the market right now, the battery life and comfort alone wins me over.

---------------------------------------------------------------
***WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN / RECOMMEND IT?***
-Absolutely, yes. I can't recommend this enough.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hope this review helped, and happy shopping! :)

Phenomenal headset, poor microphone quality

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2023

Style: WirelessVerified Purchase

I come from a HyperX Cloud II wired headset, because I was in the market looking to upgrade to something a little bit better, whether it be with features or sound or both. Thing was, I loved the solid construction, the passive noise isolation, and the comfort of the Cloud II. But it lacked bass, like it almost had no bass, and because I love bass in the first place, it made listening to music or games always wanting more.

----

I first tried the HyperX Cloud Orbit S headset that was $329, claiming amazing speakers but lacking build quality. When I gave it a whirl, I despised everything of the headset. The audio was worse, the 4 modes were confusing, it did not accept my Dolby Atmos addon, and I felt so bad for spending that money. I instantly returned it after trying a few games and music sessions to confirm my impressions.

Then I discovered the world of wireless headsets. I have never owned a PC/Gaming one, but I kind of realized how annoying my long current wire was. Always tangled, gets stuck in my chair wheels, uncomfortable to manage in some setups (Like flight simulation hardware), and I always had to put the headset down to get some water or snacks or use the restroom. Oh and let's not forget the very annoying times when I would try to stand up but since the wire got caught in the chair, it would rip the 3.5mm jack out of the soundcard on the USB. That pissed me off so many times, it was ridiculous.

The only reason I never bought into the wireless trend was battery life. My friends have had instances where they needed an extra hour because they realized their headset needed a recharge, and that's yet another factor I don't want to worry about in my life. The last thing you need after a long day of work is to realize your headset ran out of battery and needs some time to charge.

I saw that there claimed to be "better" headsets out there in various articles compared to the HyperX Alpha, but two things led me to this headset. Battery life (300 hours?!) and near-identical build to the HyperX Cloud II. It had the same phenomenal leatherette ear muffs, which are not only insanely comfortable and can last you a 10 hour session with no pain, but it also featured a metallic bone structure, which is great because I am tired of having plastic everywhere these days. Once I received the headset, I was really nervous because the previous HyperX model was a huge let down. But I gave these a go with music and some games, pairing it with my Dolby Atmos 3rd party app, since this headset supports 7.1 surround sound. And I am telling ya, this changed my life. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. This felt like a huge QOL update for my life.

First off, the bass is exponentially superior to what I had previously. I could actually feel it in my ears, and having an EQ editor in the manufacture's app helped make that possible. Secondly, I still find myself about to take my headset off to get water, only to remember that I don't have a wire to deal with. It's amazing to be able to do the transition wired to wireless (I can imagine how annoying it must be to go the opposite way haha). I have used this headset for around 4 days now, and the battery level has yet to move down from 90%, I don't know how it can even sport a battery like this without gaining significant weight (the weight doesn't pose any issues for me).
Another huge benefit was the mic monitoring. I live in a thin-walled apartment, and I noticed myself being so loud when I play games because of that passive noise isolation the headset provides. Using mic monitoring (can be turned on or off) helps me gauge my vocal noise levels, so I can be quieter and a better neighbor, huge win-win. The mic also has a glowy red ring at the root of the pop filter which notifies you if you are muted through the physical mute button. I did not think I would be able to see this from the pictures on the website, but your best friend Peripheral Vision works and you can indeed see it! Another nice feature is a sturdy volume wheel underneath on the right ear piece, as well as only a few buttons (compared to like 5 or 6 I've seen, confusing as ever).

I quickly wanted to mention volume. This headset can get loud yes, but it won't sit at the same loudness level as your wired headsets. For example, my Cloud II sat at 20-22 Windows volume, and that was my comfortable level before getting too loud. This headset's equivalent is closer to low 30's. So I believe the max is lower than your wired headsets, but I tried listening at 100 for a few seconds (for research purposes) and no one should ever do that. That's absolutely damaging noise levels. So for basically everyone out there, the volume should be of no worries :) Keep your ears healthy, and listen quietly!

Now my main complaint, and it will always be my number one complaint with HyperX - the microphone quality. Yes I understand that microphone quality is hard to achieve in headsets. I polled 3 of my friends in Discord, one stated it sounded the same as the Cloud II model, while the other two say it is slightly worse. But this microphone is indeed worse than average. In comparison, two my friends who use a $30 cheap, Chinese headset have far superior quality microphones, meanwhile the sound of mine almost embarrasses me. It's not garbage, but it's not really good either. It's gonna leave you wanting more out of it. Also, lack of Bluetooth and Xbox compatibility kind of does bring the experience down. All 3 reasons are why I gave a 4/5 stars.

----

This headset is phenomenal, and I will be using this for a least a few years into the future. But with the mic quality, it's gonna make me keep one eye looking elsewhere at times. So it's up to you to decide how large of a role that plays into your purchasing decision. I appriciate your time reading this long, hefty review! I hope I helped answer some of the questions I know I had while browsing. Happy looking!

Good budget gaming headset

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024

Style: WirelessVerified Purchase

I used the HyperX Cloud II wired headset for about seven years until the clip on the wired dongle finally broke off. Not wanting to put a lot of effort into doing research on all the headsets out there, I went with this headset since it looked like the same headset that I had been very happy with, but wireless.

First I noticed that the packaging on this headset is very cheap. My old headset came in very nice packaging, as well as an extra set of ear muffs to swap out (cloth vs. vinyl). This headset comes in a cheap plastic blister package inside the main package and you don't get extra ear muffs. These will wear out with heavy use within 4-5 years and the vinyl will start to flake off (about the time I swapped to the cloth ear muffs on my wired headset). So, that was an immediate disappointment.

Compared to my wired HyperX Cloud headset, the sound quality is about the same. There is no button for fake "surround sound" like on my wired headset, and that's fine, because I never intentionally used that setting since it's terrible.

The mute mic button sticks out on the left side of the headset, rather than the dongle switch of the wired version. If you have your mic plugged in, there is a red ring that illuminates when you have it muted, but it's really hard to see depending on where you adjust the mic. But it's good that it's there.

This headset uses USB-C to charge. Only a cable, no power adapter, FYI. I have not tried to plug the connector into my PC to use the headset while it charges. The headset side is USB-C and the PC side is USB-A.

In a house or apartment under 2000 sq. ft., you will get good signal strength. Occasional audio hitching/glitching when you're across the property, but that's to be expected at maximum distance. But if you're in Discord or game chat and have to walk across your house (or apartment), under 2000 sq. ft. it works quite well.

The only problem I've had is audio glitching out during gaming. But then I realized I had plugged the USB dongle in the USB port next to the controller dongle of the controller I was using to game with, as that was the port my wired headset was in and I didn't really think about it. So, don't do that. For any other wireless devices you're using with a USB dongle, do not use them simultaneously or do not plug them into neighboring ports. I've had no audio glitches since moving the dongle two ports over.

I gave this headset a 4/5 for "noise cancelling" not because this headset actually has noise cancelling technology, but because the ear muffs are thick and block noise naturally because of that. If you have roommates/family having conversation in the next room over you won't really hear them much.

A long-winded review, but overall for the price and considering I'd been happy with my previous HyperX Cloud product, it's worth the money. This headset is what I expected and given the build quality I'd expect that in 5 years the vinyl on the headband and ear muffs will deteriorate after 5-6 years of constant use, but the sound and mic will still be rock solid.

Exceeded all expectations

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2023

Style: WirelessVerified Purchase

I spend all my time on my computer. Be it working from home or gaming/watching streams, it's where I live. I've always used wired headphones, and without fail, they all fail or get broken in some way. That, and the chords seem to always be in the way. Then I bought these headphones.

I was hesitant at first, I feared that the headphones would always die out of nowhere, when I most needed them. I looked at the advertised battery life and I absolutely did not believe it. I was just skeptical about wireless headphones in general. I was in for surprise.

I've had these headphones now for 10 months, and I can honestly say I will never go back to wired headphones.

Pros:
- The battery life is amazing. Like I said, I'm on my computer all the time, and I've gone months without charging. This is the big selling point for me. You don't need to constantly worry about having enough charge in your headphones.
- Build quality. A lot of headphones I've had in the past (I don't buy cheap either) seem to break where the headband and the earpiece meet. This is because they use cheap plastic. This product uses metal, and has with stood my rough abuse. The soft part that goes around the ears is also comfortable, and never has cause irritation after hours of wear at a time. It has also survived several kidnappings by my toddler who likes to throw, slam, and bend everything he can get his hands on.
- Detachable Mic. I detach/Attach my mic multiple times a day, and it just keeps working every time. Sound quality is good.

Cons:
- Inaccurate battery readouts. You can tap the power button and a voice will tell you what percentage of battery remains. I've only heard two unique readouts: 100% and 80%. Its just not accurate. Even weeks after a charge, it will try and say that 100% of charge remains. This feature is just a gimmick and CANNOT be trusted.
- Volume knob. The volume knob is bad. It takes several turns to notice any adjustments in volume.
- Range. Range is only about 20-30 ft it seems.

Great product, will buy from HyperX in the future.

EDIT 1/15/24: HyperX has a firmware update that fixes the inaccurate battery read out.

Great headset with incredible battery life

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2022

Style: WirelessVerified Purchase

I can't stop telling people I know about the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless's battery life. I bought this headset on August 5th and it is now August 30th. I have yet to charge the headset, I believe it came with about 80% battery life. I use it for a ton of meetings at work followed by hours of gaming and I'm now at 37% battery. Through no non-sense engineering (no LEDs), a slightly larger battery, and using the latest electronics, this headset somehow delivers 10x the battery life of other long life competitors.

The overall build quality of the headset is very good. I replaced a Logitech G933 with this headset and the build quality is much better. The band is metal, other parts are either metal or a high quality plastic with a nice soft rubber like feel. The design of the wiring is smarter than my previous headset, which had problems after a while of cutting out, the wire extends from the fixed part of the band directly into the ear pieces and is not part of the moving extension. It looks like this headset will outlast my previous headsets. The headset has a circumaural design and fits very comfortably over my ears. It is lighter than my previous Logitech headset.

The mic boom is removable, it simply plugs in with a 3.5 mm jack into the headset. Therefore, you can wear it as simply headphones. It would be more convenient to have a mic boom that can swivel up to store it, so that I can eat lunch without it being in the way. But, I believe the design of the plug-in mic is much more durable and replaceable. One complaint is that if I don't have the mic fairly close to my mouth I have been told I cut out, but with the mic adjusted in closer proximity this is not an issue. I have not tried using the mic without the pop filter. When the microphone is muted, there is a subtle red light glows around the base of the microphone that you can see to confirm it is muted. The mute button has a raised surface, while the power button is more inset, making it easy to locate the mute and power buttons by touch.

The sound quality is also excellent. I can't say that I have any professional headphones to compare it with, but one of my family members works for a company that makes studio headphones and tried it on and said it was surprisingly good.

This is a great headset for gaming and for work meetings. If you want great battery life, this is the best option by far. I'm very happy with my purchase!

Really good headset with one exception

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024

I have been using HyperX headsets for a while now. As usual, the build quality is solid and they are comfy on the head. These sound great. Playing shooters like Pubg, you can hear footsteps and shots being fired with great precision. Music sounds excellent. Microphone works great and cancels noises in the background. The battery life is ridiculous. Can go two weeks or more on a charge with ease. The only gripe I have is the range. They claim 65 feet but I do not think so. My bathroom is about 40 feet from my room. When I am gaming with friends and I wear the headset to the bathroom to make them hear me pee, the headset cuts out right at the toilet. They decided to go with 2.4ghz wifi than with Bluetooth. I think bluetooth woulda been better. This also doesn't have a wired connection available. Not a big deal to me cause I only use them at the PC. But some may like to use their headphones with other devices. Overall an excellent headset

I don’t know what infernal black magic is used to make these but they are, without a doubt, enchanted. I have had these for over a year, I use them nearly daily for discord, school, and listening to music. With all this use, HUNDREDS of hours, I have had to charge them three times - and they charge in less than an hour. I’d buy another set of these tomorrow, but I’m afraid these headphones will outlive me with ease.

If the battery doesn’t sell you:
. Audio quality is amazing - 9/10
. Easy Volume control on the side - 10/10
. Durable, they haven’t begun to break down in the slightest - 10/10
. Comfortable and fit great 8/10
. Mic is by far the worst part of these - and even that is perfectly acceptable 6/10

There is a single con to these, and even then it isn’t too big of a deal. They require a wireless USB to be plugged into your computer, so they do not pair with a phone. Also, due to this limitation, 60ish feet is about where they lose connection.

An easy 9/10 and 5 stars from me.

9.5 out of 10, battery for WEEKS

Title. I'm not an audio snob; I use it to play vidya gaems and yell at friends.

This thing's battery is absolutely insane. I've gone a full week of normal, daily use and lost 10% battery; while this is not exactly the expected drain, the frequency at which I have to charge it is... almost concerning. Like, I'm not sure how it's storing so much power to last so long.

I've refrained from getting wireless headsets for the sole reason of "I don't want to charge it often". Welp, considering I can get several days of use even at 20-30% charge, I can always forget for several days in a row with absolutely zero worry. I've legitimately never allowed it to fully die.

My ONLY complaint is a strange audio pop when audio starts (imagine skipping through a video; every time it resumes, it'll have a small pop), and how quickly the default timeout is. I imagine the timeout is configurable in the software, but it's such a minor annoyance that I'd rather avoid bloatware instead and deal with it.
