- A: AnswerExtra length but more importantly a plug for the mic and the headphones. Plug these into a sound card or just into the jacks in your device. From there you can separate the mic volume (or set to listen to) and headset volume in various ways.
Answered by batterybuyer
Q: QuestionAre these compatible with pc and if so can I use them for discord to talk with my friends(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes the Hyper-X headset with charging wire is great for both. I use mine every day on my PC. Mic works great. Talk to friends on discord all day with them. And when your wire is tangled to the point of breaking, you can buy a replacement wire inexpensive online instead of buying a whole new headset. Happy gaming!Answered by Dillon
- A: AnswerIt connects via tri-pole 3.5mm headphone jack and includes a splitter to break it out into separate headphone and microphone signals. Your best bet might be to purchase a USB audio adapter, which I had to do anyway to eliminate microphone signal noise on my aging PC.
Answered by Trav
- A: AnswerThe mic does detach and looks good even without it, the remaining hole is small and unobtrusive.

Q: QuestionDoes this Play game play sound through the headset for Xbox one?(6 answers)
A: AnswerYes it does!Answered by Parris
Q: QuestionAre these noise canceling? That’s a make or brake for me.(2 answers)
A: AnswerI believe they are because when I’m yelling at my son while gaming he can’t hear me!Answered by Jenlopez916
- A: AnswerIt depends on what type of jack your laptop has. If it has a single TRRS jack, you would use the 3.5mm jack by itself. If it has separate microphone and speaker jacks, you would use the splitter.

Q: QuestionDoes it come with Carrying Case?(5 answers)
A: AnswerIt's more like a faux satin bag with drawstrings than a carrying case.Answered by Bolin526

Amazing quality, comfort, and overall performance
Sound Quality: 10/10 Mic Quality: 10/10 (based on the response from online friends) Durability: 10/10 Detachable mic and aux cord allows you to replace components at a fraction of the cost (if needed) rather than replacing the whole headset. If you play online you will notice an immediate difference and advantage. Footsteps are extremely clear and you have extra time to adjust positions and prepare. You can also game for extended periods with no discomfort, the headset is sturdy but not heavy, and the ear cups are very comfortable.

Best lower budget gaming headset
I owned a pair of HyperX Cloud II’s for around 3 years, I admit they could’ve lasted me longer if I had taken better care of them. After owning those classic headphones I knew that my next ones had to be from HyperX again, they’re just that good. I bought the Cloud Alpha with high expectations and they did not disappoint. The build quality is fantastic, the earcups are nice and squishy and the headband feels great in your head. It also doesn’t push into your skull. The sound quality is amazing and really well balanced while still having that emphasis on footsteps for the gamers. The microphone is surprisingly good and clear. Overall, these are definitely the best pair of headsets you can get for around 80-100 dollars now that the Cloud II’s have been discontinued.
