HyperX Cloud Alpha S Wired Headphones On Ear with Mic (Black)

Update 02/June/2020Refer the attached image for 2 year rough usage condition.Mic cushion will not comes under warranty and the Mic started to leak more background noise recently.Ear cushion came with Headset worn off in 9 months.2nd replaced Hyperx ear cushion worn off exactly in less than one year. I still have 1 month warranty not sure HyperX will give me another ear cushion 3rd time.The volume controller came with headset got problem in 1.2year and after a big fight they replaced it.and the replaced volume controller now started giving problem in exact 9 months usage.After pairing this headset with Creative Sound blaster G1 the Headset worked like it should. (Read below why the default headset sucks when you directly plug into Mother board with ALC887 (without OP amp))Headband Leather started to decompose.If i am buying new headset for gaming then i will definitly not go this much costly, i might got with HyperX Stringer with USB amp (under5k or during sale) but definitly not this. Also you guys make sure spening too much money will not always give you too much life time. Most of the electronics are designed to work only for the specific warranty time.After 8 months of use still rocking as brand new and the Build quality is so good. Worth the investment and will go my future Headset only on this Brand. I use this for PUBG PC and lite CS go (i will always hear bullet droping in floor while reloading on back of my wall.. tat experience is lol) and you can hear the footsteps first than your team member trust me on this you will hear it. i use this on my onboard Audio Realtek ALC 887 chip. Soo many suggest the real effect will be seen when you use this on a high end DAC or Soundcard never tried)For mic i just installed a high speed fan near me and there is no noise leak from my mic to my friends via discord or via in game audio and also the ear cushion will block most of the out side sound not fully but mostly.update 9/17/2019:hey guys updating this thread with the problem i started to facing now after 11 months of use.Headband, Ear cushion leather worn off.Volume control in the detachable cable is started giving problem.First i contacted HyperX for Cushion replacement they said they can replace my ear pad cushion with new and they couriered a pair of cushion to my home after i registered the complaint to Hyper X. The shipment is fast like 2 day delivery.For the headband they said they cannot repair / replace.2 months later my Volume controller started to give issue, like when i increase or decrease volume one side of the headset will not equally adjust with other side. Again i raised ticket with Hyper X they said they will replace my cable by visiting the nearest service center. I went to Rashi peripherals, Chetpet, Chennai. Gave headset they collected the full headset and said we will try replace the complete unit (wow :-D) returned home with full happiness. waited 2 days and got a call from service center (Rashi) saying your Headset was rejected and not covered under warranty due to the serial number is not visible. WTH ?? since i don't have headset with my hand So i referred the old photos of my headset which is 2 months back i took for cushion replacement and found that the serial number sticker (actually the headset part number) is well worn off with my day to day usage sweat. So i spoke with HyperX support and Rashi support via all in one email chain and they agreed to only replace the Volume controller cable.So if you are using this headset please make sure the Part number above the ear cups are not worn off with your sweat. If yes then forget your warranty. Of course this is a design flaw. I hope hyperX will change the serial number and partner number sticker somewhere else where there is no skin or sweat contact.

Use gaming so must worth in playunkown battleground

First of all, I'd say you should be smart enough to use tech. No offence, but it is how it is, one should really know how to use it.Now, the point is, this headphones has a 65ohm impedance so it needs more amps to power it, so when you use it for your PS4 controller in bluetooth mode (Not usb mode), the ps4 controller focuses on max battery life so, it's not gonna give out more amps to power it, that's what causes the low volume issue . and please note this is when you just connect the headphones to the controller, not to the usb port on the ps4 console.IF you connect it through the given usb card with the usb port available on the ps4, there's no low sound issue. as simple as that. It works really good with my MAC too.Now talking about the sound quality and overall headphone quality.Pros :1.) Really soft premium cushions, large speaker width fits my ears in it really well.2.) The sound quality, the dual chambers sound quality is really worth it, all the mids and highs and lows are well distinguished.3.) There are even bass adjusting air nobs in each side of the speakers.4.) if you game on pc you can control the discord chat and game sounds, like you can either sometimes increase the discord chat volume or if you want to focus on the game sound increase the game volume using the controls on the usb card. its usefull for multiplayer fps games.Cons :I don't think i found any cons with this headphones, I'm not overselling too here, but you have to understand there's no perfect headphones, even the high end sony or bose earphones have some issues on the long run. But I'm just satisfied with everything so far, its feels premium to hold because of the aluminium frame.Its an overall best headset for gaming and surprisingly for music and movies at this price range.

its ok , just bought for the mic, otherwise sound wise it pales in comparison to even samson sr 950. So, if sound quality is your absolute priority and you dont mind cable tangles, get a samson sr950 and get a wired mic attached to it like a sennheiser lav mic

I have bought this product and using it for more than an year. The ear buds cushion is teared off as like other low budget headphones....other than that the voice quality is fine.

I bought this headphones specifically for gaming because I saw good ratings on rtings.com and I'm really happy with my decision.Imagine is really good as I can even differentiate between different but subtle sounds. Ofc gunshots and footsteps are easy to locate and you can locate them with accuracy.Really comfortable I can wear it all day. My left ear is a bit bigger then my right so I can feel it after some hours on my left ear but other that it perfect.It's also amazing if you want to listen to music and movies.Not bass boosted like other headsets on market to give you sound as intended.NEGATIVES-The headband adjustment clip can get loose after some time but you can fix it yourself.The volume adjuster area can get stuck if it hits something like table edge.
