This is the best headphone for fps games like csgo , tom clancy .

Man this is awesome.I also has compared it with Audio technica M50Xs in a store.M50Xs are a little bit better in some musicWarranty:1 year for M50Xs and 2 years for cloud alpha.M50Xs-better treble,foldable,much smaller earcups,3 different cables,built like a tank,no mic,looks low profile, narrow soundstage, (Really good monitoring headphones due to excellent audio performance at base,treble and mids)Cloud alpha-Slightly better base and mids(than M50Xs),Has boom mic, Attracts attention,Way better soundstage and imaging,commonly available 3.5 mm detachable cords,way more comfortable,built like the even better tank, relatively cheap(Only above-average treble performance make it less of a monitoring headphones)It's a better mixed use headphones than M50X and cheaper.NB-Both are clean sounding.They cloud alpha won't sound good if you have a cheapo DAC.(On budget phones is sounds terrible,but on my Huawei mate 9 it has like a very high volume and great bass.On my friends 15k Samsung it sounds like really bad)Also don't buy this if you have a low budget Motherboard.

Got it for 4800 rupees. Excellent value for money. I have been using hyperx cloud core for more than 2.5 years. This is a better upgrade from cloud core. Sound quality is excellent. Comfort is on another level. Have tried both xbox one and ps4. Since it is a high powered headphones, ps4 controller couldn't drive it properly. I mean volume is bit low. So i have to turn 100 percent volume on both ps4 and headset, which is quite sad. On other hand, xbox one does a pretty gud job handling this headphone at 75 percent of volume, which is more than enough for a average person. Coming to mic quality, its gud. Noise cancellation is pretty decent. Thanks to amazon i got for 4.8k (including instant 10% Off on SBI card and 10% cash back on amazon pay balance).

Headphone are very good but bass is bit more and mid trouble is low, mic is very good, split cable is helpful for connecting headphones. Try to find better suitable headphone for gaming. Bass boost make bit hard to do positioning. My old could core 7.1 are better has good trouble.

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.
