OVERALL
I have an older pair of HyperX headphones, so I was anxious to try these out.
Setup was a breeze. It helps that everything you could need is included in the box, including an aux cable (if you want to use it wired), a USB-C to USB-C and a USB-A to USB-C Cable.
The ear muffs are well cushioned and block out ambient noise very well. Beyond that, there is a lot of padding on the cross bar between them, so these headphones are extremely comfortable.
I played my videogames and listened to music through them. The sound quality is excellent.
The control pad is a nice touch. It makes changing volume easy. It also has other default buttons like mic gain and balance of chat/game. You can change these if you want.
If you're a gamer that likes to hang out and play at friends' houses, this also comes with a soft case to carry them over there. A nice touch.
Really, I found nothing to dislike about these. If you're a gamer or looking for a gift for gamer, these are an excellent choice. They're a little pricier than what you might get at a bargain store, but they are worth it.
THE BIG QUESTION:
Would I recommend these to others, espcially gamers or students who like to listen to music while studying?
Absolutely!

Great Feature Set Held Back by a Subpar App

That Cloud Alpha 2 headset has the makings of a great headset, with features that rival more expensive headsets. Unfortunately, the Windows app makes it a frustrating experience that has me reaching for other headsets over this one.
Features and confirm wise, the Cloud Alpha 2 headset is very good. In particular, the control unit is amazing. Being able to very quickly tweak the levels is something that I've always wanted to be about to do, and this control unit makes that a reality. The fact that the headset also supports two volume levels (one for chat, one for game) is also a phenomenal feature. Anyone that plays games with their friends and struggles with either hearing chat consistently or hearing the game can understand just how amazing this feature is, and being able to change the levels on the fly is awesome. Beyond the feature set, the headset is also very comfortable. Even after multiple hours long gaming sessions I didn't notice any discomfort with this headset. And it sounds great while doing it, too. Sound quality here is equally good and makes not only gaming but content consumption an enjoyable experience.
All the positive aside, the app is ultimately what kills it for me with this headset. To start, I was unable to get it to update the firmware. I tried multiple times, multiple ways and never ended up getting past the control unit update phase that would timeout with an "update failed" error. The control software on the version I have frankly doesn't work that well either. The level sliders aren't responsive with the headset, and setting routinely seen out of sync. I could assume most of these app issues would be resolved with a firmware update, but without a wait to actually do it, I can't know for sure.
One other issue with the Cloud Alpha 2 is that the mic quality isn't very good. In contrast to the sound quality of the speakers, the mic sounds very low fidelity which is a disappointment. Coming from the Bose Gaming Headset, which conversely has an immensely high quality microphone, it was immediately obvious to me and my gaming partners that the Cloud Alpha 2 was a major downgrade. This has been the case for a lot of headsets, and I was hopeful this one would hold a candle in terms of mic quality but it unfortunately does not.
Overall, I've been sadly disappointed with my experience with the Cloud Alpha 2s. Great sound quality, a comfortable fit, and a stellar control unit are all tainted by an app that doesn't work and a mic that isn't very hi fidelity. I wanted to like these but I'll ultimately be reaching for something else on my next gaming session

Although quite expensive, these headphones have been great so far! Awesome battery life, EQ, and quality of life features and settings that are plug and play right out of the box with the included USB Docking station. The docking station is what sets this apart from the last model.
On PC you can adjust the balance between party chat and game audio, you can enable mic monitoring, you can mute input and output via the attached microphone as well!
