- 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.
Answered by Adam
Q: QuestionDoes this Play game play sound through the headset for Xbox one?(6 answers)
A: AnswerYes it does!Answered by Parris
- 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
Q: Questioncan this be used with a standard xbox one x controller?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes, it most definitely can be used with a standard Xbox one x controller even Xbox one S controllers which is what makes this headset the one to buy. The ear padding on these things are also VERY VERY comfy and don’t even hurt your ears for doing long gaming hours not like other brand name ones do that I’ve already tried and spend over $200 on. Hope you enjoy these cuz I sure do.Answered by Vultron911

Great headset for gamers
This headset is perfect for me. I play video games minimally 8 hours a day and I swap from console to PC. I use this headset for everything except my phone (it can connect to my phone if I wanted it to) and let me tell you - if feels very comfortable even after extended periods of use. If you're used to headsets from the ASTRO brand, this might feel like a bit of a down-grade because there's no volume mixer with this headset - only volume up/down & mute. There's also no software for customizations like you would get with the HyperX Pulsefire Raid but you really don't *need* it with this headset. (No software for this headset is part of why I gave it a 4/5 stars - if the HyperX mouse can utilize software, a headset should too) The microphone is detachable so you can use it for just listening to audio if you want to. Though I don't recommend working out with this headset as it will get moist fairly quickly and thus become uncomfortable. The cord length is nice as well since it's not too long and it's not too short; the only issue is that it can tangle itself up pretty easily which can be annoying (This being the other reason I only gave it 4/5 stars) HyperX is a very good brand though and with them I don't feel like I'm paying a 'logo premium' like you might feel from certain other brands. It's also very durable, I've dropped this headset many times on the ground (concrete flooring) and it's not been scratched or damaged or anything. Overall would highly recommend this headset.

Hyper X Cloud Alpha
I really enjoyed this. This product had very good noise canceling and very good sound quality. Really light. Really comfortable. This is a very good option for the price that you would pay.
