Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked this up a little under a month ago and I can’t think of anything negative to say about. The audio is great and the volume gets up plenty loud enough for me. Bass, mids, and treble are good and the chat does not sound washed out. My buddies are happy I got a upgrade! This thing is also built like a tank and feel like it will last the test of time. Overall I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a new wired gaming headset sub 100$.

These are very comfortable and I love they way they sound. The voice clarity is huge and the microphone doesn’t pick up sound unless your 2 inches from mic. The only downside is I’ve been having teammates constantly tell me my mic is echoing and making a clicking noise. When I go to test voice I control anytime I moved the headset cord it began echoing like crazy.

I use the headset for late night movie watching. Sound is clear, I like the crisp base. My son "borrows" them to play ps4 games. So far he has been pleased with the sound quality and said the microphone works well. I've only had them on for about 2 hours at a time. They still seem comfortable after that time. I would think for long gaming they should be fine. I would prefer a little more output on the higher frequency as sometimes the bass does take over. Other than that I think they are a fine headset.

I’ve tried 5 different headsets in the last 6 months and these are by far my favorite. Comfortable, clear, good mic. I have a big head so some of the headsets I tried didn’t fit comfortably, but these are by far the best and they just happened to be $99 when I was willing to spend much more.

My old turtles died and I needed a new set of headphones to use with my PC. Few sets live up to the claim of being good on the PC since most gamers seem to be using consoles now. These are comfortable up to four hours (about my max without a break). Only real complaints, setup was quirky and teammates said it was too loud due to feed back at first. I finally got it right. It's very sensitive. Sound quality is excellent and they are as directional as any I've ever worn. I would buy them again.

I bought these to replace my last headset which was a Turtle Beach Stealth 300. I've been using Turtle Beaches for probably 15 years at this point and have been really satisfied with them until the Stealth 300s I had broke in under a year (poor, plastic construction quality). Anyway, you can definitely notice that the Hyper X - Cloud Alpha's are ten times better as far as build quality goes. Mostly metal frame construction along with high quality materials for the other parts. The only thing I didn't like when comparing the two headsets was the Stealth 300 had fabric mesh for the ear cups whereas the Cloud Alphas have memory foam covered by leatherette. The leatherette makes it just a bit hotter, but probably provides better noise reduction. The fit of the Cloud Alphas I would imagine is great for a normal head, but just a bit tight on a larger head like my own. As for the sound, the most important part, I feel like it falls a bit short compared to some of the other Turtle Beaches I've owned. I primarily play COD and find it harder to place footsteps, gunshots, and explosions than with the Stealths. Maybe that's just the new COD (Warzone) or maybe that's the headset, I'm not sure. For all other gaming the sound quality is great. Overall, a decent headset for the cost.

I am an avid supporter of Kingston' s Hyper X line of products, from their keyboards, to their mice, to their highly acclaimed Cloud line. Their new Alpha continues down a similar style to the Cloud, boasting the same classic red and black aluminum design. Fans of the Hyper X Cloud II won't see too much of a difference between the products. They have the same accessories, and mostly the same features, except the Alpha comes with a duel driver to prevent distortion with a more deeper bass. This is one of the best sounding and most comfortable headsets I've ever used for numerous multi-media, particularly gaming. While it's designed to be an upgrade from the Cloud II, it's not giant enough to divert users to opt in for an upgrade if they already own the Cloud II. First time users, I can't recommend this enough. At such an affordable price, this is one of the best headsets you will find in this price-range.

I have tried out many headsets and found this one to be the best. It is very light and sturdy. The audio stays in because of the leather style eat foam that may start to make your ears hot and sweat but very small amount. Build is very sturdy can bend and flex a lot about braking. This head set was a little tight at first but a few stretching will help that. This headset stays on your head if you move a lot. Noise cancelling microphone is great and sounds awesome.

Pick this up for my son who is a gamer for Xbox also some gaming on his laptop too. So far been thrilled. I'm also using the microphone right now to dictate this review. the sound is very good, Chris clean with a nice amount of base that's not too much I would definitely recommend you picking up a pair in trying it. Also the memory foam your boss are very comfortable. I might buy another set just for me!:)

okay so i really dont have anything bad to say about this other than it comes with some extra things i dont need (y splitter and carrying pouch-which is not really a case more just like a fabric bag) so im just going to list some of the good things about it lol 1. it has a detachable mic and detachable cord which is great for storing or traveling 2. its got in-line controls (volume and mute) which i prefer over on-ear controls 3. the sound and mic quality is great-i always worry about people being able to hear me chewing or drinking but it didnt pick up any of that or any other background noises 4. its a little bit on the bigger side but is very lightweight and not too tight on my ears 5. the actual quality of materials seems to be very good it looks and feels sturdy and the cord is braided which i love so overall its a great headset and if you are going to use the extra stuff go ahead and get it but if you are not a crazy gamer and just looking for a more casual headset and dont need anything fancy like me i would suggest going with one of hypers cheaper headsets (i went with the cloudx) since i couldnt really tell any difference in quality

[Employee of bestbuy] It's been about 1 year since I purchased this headset and it's hard to think of anything negative to say about it. Physically it's very durable and there has been minimal wear/tear over a year of using it for playstation, PC, and for playing bass guitar. In my experience hyper-x and steel series are among the best in quality without jacking up the price for special lights and things you don't really need. This is a step up in quality from your average $25-50 headset but I don't think the next step up is worth it for what you get. Set up is easy, and there's nothing special you need to do to switch between multiple devices (like you would for a wireless headset). If you're searching for a quality and versatile headset this is the one. It's comfortable, it's fairly priced, and after a year I have no regrets buying this headset.

This was an upgrade to the Hyper x Cloud 2's. I wanted the cloud 2's till I found out about the Alphas. They are very comfortable(sturdy construction), mic works well, and the audio positioning is on point. If you want that edge on other players while playing FPS games, you need to check these out. It doesn't have 7.1 surround sound, but it's not necessary. I've read on the Cloud 2 reviews that the 7.1 sometimes messes up the audio, or doesn't sound as good as stereo, which defeats the whole purpose! The Alphas have dual chambers! I recommend to any casual or serious gamer!

Great headset. Sound quality is awesome, and when wearing them it almost feels like they are noise cancelling. especially love the directional sound in games like Cyberpunk and I'm sure many others, its like the character's ears are your own. Really like the volume and mic control on the wire. They're also very comfortable to wear for long periods, the memory foam is awesome.

Had the past generation of this headset and happy that their quality continues with this next generation. The fit is perfect for gaming or casual usage and fits comfortable. Really great quality!

There are several factors that go into buying a gaming headset. Audio quality, microphone clarity, comfort, and durability of design all went into my purchasing decision. The HyperX Cloud Alpha excels in all of these categories. They also look nice and are reasonably priced. Would recommend these as a versatile headset for any gamer.

I bought this headset to replace the HyperX Cloud Core Headset (2016). This Cloud Alpha Pro headset sounds very clear and mute and volume functions are a huge plus for this headset. This headset also has great bass. HyperX also makes some of the most durable and reliable headsets in the market. Only critique is that it is not quite as loud as an Amplified Headset, for example I also own the HyperX Cloud Alpha S (with USB dongle) which is nearly twice as loud as the Cloud Alpha Pro. With the current prices, I would recommend spending the bit extra money for the better headset. And yes, USB HEADSETS work on PlayStation and Xbox.

Decent headset. Build and sound quality is good. Max volume plugged directly into Xbox controller is too low but good when used w/ Turtle Beach audio controller. Isolation is good but ears get warm due to pleather padding. Comfortable to wear for an extended amount of time aside from the sweaty ear issue.

Great sound quality, extremely comfortable, more durable than many other similar products. I have no complaints a few months in.

Before purchasing these, I read and watched countless reviews online. After watching a review by Jimmy's Review Room on YouTube, I finally decided to pick them up for my Xbox One. I can't put into words how great this headset is. The packaging was very easy to open and made it easier to sort everything included inside. Upon putting the headset on, I noticed how soft the faux leather/memory foam earcups are around my head. Between the earcups, padded headband, and adjustable aluminum frame, this headset is incredibly comfortable. Before plugging them into my controller, I thought I'd test the sound quality by playing some music from my phone. Needless to say, the dual chamber drivers really eliminate any possible distortion, as well as produce crystal clear highs, mids, and lows. Honestly, the sound quality produced by the Cloud Alpha headset is far superior than my Beats Solo2 Wireless Headphones. The mic itself is detachable, clear, and blocks out a large amount of background noise. One thing that surprised me was that I don't need to plug the headset into my TV to hear my games along with chat. All I need is the adapter, which I already had from using my Turtle Beach X12s. Overall, this headset is amazing for the price, one of the best on the market, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

This was my first more professional headset purchase. I had checked out extensive reviews and videos for headphones in this price range and these were the most recommended. Needless to say they don't disappoint. First of all, the build quality is outstanding. From the earpads to the casing material to the headband everything feels and looks premium. When you factor in the aspect that they are only $100 I would argue that from an aesthetic standpoint these are the best bang for your buck, period. In regards to the sound quality, unfortunately I don't have as good of expertise. However, I did notice a considerable difference in the stereo quality of these headphones. Playing through the Division, I was actually able to tell the direction I was being shot at based on the sound before I saw the shooter. The nice thing about it is it feels natural. It was so natural in fact that I didn't even notice I was doing it until a few minutes later. The one problem that I would note is that the volume is lower then other headphones but this can be fixed somewhat by raising the headphone volume on your console. Overall, if you are looking for a mid-priced set of headphones that look and feel amazing with a great sound I wholeheartedly suggest these.
