    These headphones are supposed to be over-ear but they fit me like on-ear headphones. I have used both a pair of the Bose QC 35 and Logitech G430 and those fit much better than the Cloud Alpha. They get very hot very fast and my ear are resting against the insides which makes them extremely uncomfortable. They cinch way to tight to my head and cause discomfort. Anyone with a larger head that wears glasses and wants a pair of over-ear should avoid these.

    I am very hard of hearing to the point hearing on my I Phone is almost IMPOSIBLE !!! After trying other headsets I purchased This Hyper X -Cloud Alpha wired Stereo Gaming Headset. I was told by the employee I spoke too that at Best Buy that I would be able to plug it into the handset at work on the landline and it would work. We had pugged it into my iPhone after buying an I Phone cord and it worked awesome !!! Unfortunately, not so with the telephone at work !!! Can't find the right sized plug 2.5 mm that phone system requires (also purchased from Best Buys). When I finally found one from Amazon and ordered it, I am unable to hear through the head set. Very frustrating not only to me but also my manager and the guests I speak to !!!!!

    The headset worked well for the first month. The plug broke after one month, not excessive pressure or anything. Bestbuy or Hyper x will not take any responsibility. Kingston(Hyper x) has very poor service, but also was not expecting this denial from bestbuy. Never again.

    I have had this headset under 3 months and it won't turn on, won't charge. It is junk. I am unable to get any product support either.

    Bought this for my wife. Had them for about a month and then they stopped working almost completely. Glad we bought the Geek Squad warranty so the exchange process was pretty easy, even with the fact that we had to go with a different brand.

    Terrible unusable headset. The mic is so sensitive that it picks up every little sound to the point where it is very disruptive in game/party chats. Within a week I switched back to my $50 old headset. Buy any other headset.

    The microphone echoed when using it on PS5 and Xbox series X. I tried multiple different settings and it didn’t help.

    Sound Quality Issues

    I'm not sure if my headphones are defective, but the sound quality on mine was really bad. The bass was the weakest bass I have ever heard and overall, the headphones were really quiet. The headphone band hurt the top of my head and it felt like it was putting a lot of pressure. The only thing okay was the microphone. The headphones I used before was the razer electra v2 and the sound quality was way better. Will not be purchasing from this brand again.

      Hi, Juliannarjones! We'd like to determine if the issue is coming from either the headset or the laptop. Try the following: Does your laptop comes with two separate audio ports, headphone and microphone and are you using the PC extension cable? Can the headset be detected on a different device such as your phone, tablet, or a gaming controller? Let us know what you find with a private message on our social feed. We got you.

    They stopped working after a week. On all platforms the mic was no good. Troubkeshot with Fortnite for hours and never worked. A cheaper pair of turtlebeach recon 700’s worked instantly.
