HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless review: 300 hours of audio bliss

digitaltrends.com:

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is a pipedream headset. It has the same excellent sound quality as the Cloud Alpha — which is among the best gaming headsets — as well as a few small improvements to comfort. Critically, it has 300 hours of battery life, which is an exponential jump for the world of gaming headsets.

I knew I would love the Cloud Alpha Wireless from the moment I unboxed it, and after using it thoroughly, that impression hasn’t changed. This is the headset I’d recommend to most PC gamers, despite some minor issues when it comes to using it away from your desk.

If you’ve seen the Cloud Alpha headset, the wireless version should be very familiar. It looks identical, minus a few small changes for comfort (more on that below). It’s a gamer’s headset, no doubt, but it’s not as in your face as Razer’s Kraken V3 thanks to the Cloud Alpha Wireless’ lack of RGB and slimmer overall build.

The headband has a good amount of play, I’m not worried about it wearing out, and the earcups have deep, independent adjustment. The locked braces for the earcups mean you can’t fold them in for traveling, but you probably won’t take the Cloud Alpha Wireless outside your home anyway.

Around the headset, you’ll find a smooth volume wheel on the right, as well as a power button, a mic mute button, a 3.5mm connection, and a USB-C connection on the left. There’s also a small LED indicator that will tell you when the headset is on, as well as when you have the mic muted (although, you can’t see the indicator with the headset on like you can with the Corsair Virtuoso Wireless XT).

You can hook the headset up with a wire if you want to connect it to a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. The wireless USB dongle is exclusive to PC. That’s all
