Poor bass, poor music quality, comfortable design

Despite being branded as having great bass this headset does not deliver, listening to music and watching movies is underwhelming. The “bass sliders” have no effect on sound. I received them as a gift to be primarily used for video chat so music is not my priority but it is a big disappointment.
It includes cloth ear pads to swap out, but the leather pads that come already installed are about 1/2” wider, and I have not been able to stretch the cloth pad over the frame successfully.
They are very comfortable and have a great design that feels very durable, and are comfortable after a couple hours of continuous wear (this is perhaps the only saving grace).
The virtual surround sound is effective and works well despite being a disappointment in bass range.
I was planning on exchanging for something else, but based on reviews other options for similar prices are about the same quality.

Stick With the Hyper X Cloud Alpha

Not as clear sounding or nearly as comfortable as the original Hyper X Cloud Alpha. Not worth the price since the quality of sound is lacking.

Hi! Correct. The Cloud Alpha S was designed to be used for PC gaming. It is not compatible with the Xbox One consoles except via 3.5mm directly with the controller. We highly urge our community to contact us for questions This is due to the platform's limitations. Please reach out to Best Buy's support team for further assistance.

Don't plug the headset into an xbox controller. I switch between pc and xbox and the hardest no longer is audio feedback when plugged into pc after one day of use. Will return to store.
