HyperX Cloud Alpha Gaming Headset Headphone Wired Detachable Noise Cancelling Microphone Dual Chamber Drivers Memory Foam Over-ear Soft Leatherette for PC Xbox Nintendo Switch PS4 Black Red (Renewed)

Bought this as a gift for my brother since his old headset died on him. Works great, built pretty well, sound and mic quality aren’t bad. He was very pleased with it and now uses it daily.

I just got this headset and couldn't be happier. I was a little skeptical when reading reviews that said their headsets came with a foul odor, but I did not notice any bad smell. In fact, they smelled brand new, like a new car smell. They looked brand new too. Mine did not come in the original box, but everything the headset should come with was in the box that they came in, and it was packaged nicely.First I plugged them into my phone and listened to music. The sound quality for music is pretty nice! Not anything spectacular or mind blowing for music, but what can you expect from a gaming headset?Let's move on to gaming performance. Wow. These sound great while playing Modern Warfare on Xbox one. I could easily locate my enemies, game noises sounded clear and distinct, the bass was definitely there but not overpowering, and gunfire sounds great.My buddies immediately noticed the difference in mic quality. I'm coming from the Turtle Beach Stealth 600s. Those had mediocre sound quality at best, and the mic was absolute garbage. My team mates could never hear me while speaking normally, so I would have to yell into the mic if I wanted to be heard. But with the Alphas my teammates heard me loud and clear every time. They never had to ask me "what?", And I never got flat out ignored because I wasn't even heard.Since I'm gaming on the Xbox one, I'm not able to purchase and use the Dolby 7.1 surround sound adapter that you can buy for these, but I found a solution. By purchasing Dolby Atmos surround sound audio for $15, and then enabling them in the Xbox settings for headphones, I was able to get full virtual surround sound out of these.And as the name implied, these feel just like a cloud sitting on top of your head. The ear cushions are extremely soft and made out of leatherette. The head band has quite a bit of soft, comfortable padding that sits comfortably on the top of your head. Honestly you hardly notice these are even on your head. The only con that some people may find with these in terms of comfortability is that due to the earpads being made out of fake leather, your ears could possibly get a bit warm after playing for long periods of time.But all in all, I'd say these headphones are pretty spectacular. I was looking at the Cloud 2's, the Sennheiser GSP 300s, and the Steelseries Arctis 5s. I'm extremely happy that I made the decision to get the Alphas over those, and I will be sticking with Hyper X in the future.

I have now purchased three of these headsets. I love the microphone and the comfort. I had one "break" after years of use and it just took a bit of work to piece it back together--two screws had come loose. It works perfectly after minor "surgery."

My dad loves these. He is very hard of hearing and uses these in combination with a small amplifier for watching TV. The only issue we had with them so far was the earpads peeling, so sad that everyone uses that material when they know it's going to peel but replacement pads were cheap and easy enough to install, it takes a bit of patient but it's doable. If you want loud though, these are very loud.

awesome sound and is super comfy for long gaming sessions. The build is solid, and the memory foam ear cushions make it feel great to wear.

Started to have problems with the sound cutting in and out within the first couple of weeks. The headset no longer works as of today. Lasting only six months. Not a quality product, and I do not recommend it.

Love these headphones no worries about background noise with these bad boys!

Hay que tene muchísimo cuidado con el cable y su manos libres (volumen, silenciar micrófono) puesto a que ciertos choques con mi mesa al usarlo, causaron daño y el volumen es un poco bajo en comparación. Finalmente las almohadillas son muy comodas PERO si usas gafas/lentes, las mismas se desgastan rápidamente (almohadillas de driver y diadema)
