One thing I forgot to talk about in the vid is the 7.1 sound, but you all know my opinion on 7.1 on just about all headsets, garb............same here.
Ok 👍
Wouldn’t but it for the 7.1 sounds very tinny and like your in the bathroom
we should compare the Alpha and Alpha S .. they should be very close. the Alpha don't have a removable power cord and no 7.1
You ever gonna review the jbl quantum series headsets?
Would you say the alpha s is good to listen to hip hop/rap music with bass? Or should I go with the original alphas?
Underrated tech reviewer. Really helps people
thank you so much
Thank god the surgery went well and can you do a house tour after. Love the content keep up the great content.
Thank you. And yeah that does sound fun, they are saying 6-9 months before build is complete
Fishy boi
@@TheTechne can you do a video what is your 5 best headphones no matter the price
@@m77mmdd19 yes
Ok 👍 I just want you guys
I love how this guys reviews are always so positive and he always has something good to say about each product
yeah but makes me wonder how good the cheaper products actually are
@@oncerain Look he is getting like me old! The bass sound on a pair of headsets in my 20's no problem. Now in my 40's just causes the ear to ring just a bit! So this comparison is more about what you might want to hear. Good mid range with adjustment(Alpha S) or a increase in power and bass just a bit more for younger crowd(Cloud 2). This is all about how you receive Audio in the inner ear drum.
I think that is not a good thing, every product out there must have cons and he's not mentioning them! for example, both headset don't come with software, they're a bit heavy for long gaming sessions, etc...
@@AhmedAdloof huh! We have team speak works on my cellphone and can talk during games for teens at mom's and dad's house. Heavy! Doesn't matter cloud 2 isn't heaviest headsets or MVP of headsets. Clearly put it is a step up in performance. 40 extra dollars looking for performance of 200 dollar headset. Isn't going to happen. Get what you pay for! Do you speak English?
this guy is just really great. I've told my friends to watch these videos to decide on a good headset and they are all still happy with theirs.
You have become my go to for reviews. Your reviews have covered several questions I have had over several products I have been interested in. Keep up the great work!
the entire time you were talking you hit all the points i needed to make my decision, thank you!
I know it's an old video, but man, I had to leave a comment. This is really good.
Thanks for it!
Fantastic video! EVERYTHING was explained PERFECTLY! Keep up the good work, can see you enjoy it!
Love the review no bias or anything. I like what you said on the decision makings. Love both even I don't have them in my ears but someday, so excited to have the Cloud II
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE FOR A WHILE! GREAT
Also the sound card that comes with the Cloud Alpha S has mic monitoring. You hold down the mute button for 3 seconds and it will turn mic monitoring on. Very helpful to make sure you're not talking to loud while gaming.
I was waiting for this video for a long time. Thank you!
Ur so dedicated To your TH-cam channel even through such hard times you still make videos
You were the first video to pop up looking for what’s better of these and you helped me thank you! You just got a new subscriber
Keep up the good work your videos help me decide what to buy all the time
I love it when you compare products keep it up man
Idk how to thank you enough , I was looking for both of them since too long trying to decide which to get and now I made my mind thanks to you , you helped me a great deal ✨👍
Hi bro! Thanks a lot, you've helped me buying my new headset, the Alpha S!
You've got the best videos about them.
Hugs from Brazil!
So excited, good timing the cloud alpha s is on-sale for $109.99 at best buy! Only the blue one tho. Awsome vid. Love seeing new videos from you!
Really waiting for this comparison.
great review, honest and articulate, i was on the fence between these two and you sold me on the alpha S
thank you!
You always have a positive mood keep up the good work
The first great and honest review that i found about headphones. Thanks a lot, i enjoy watching this review.
Love the vids!
You're the reason why I have a fantastic gaming setup!
Thanks for you review of this product. I bought a pair this month, of the regular cloud x headphones, and they were fantastic. One of the best purchases I've made this year. Now if I could just find a over ear wireless ear bud, that you can actually can hear while their on. That would be fantastic too. Thank you again.
A thoroughly enjoyable, balanced, informative vid. Thanks.
Finally the video I needed
Same bruhhhhhhhh
great video, usually they never do this much testing for a video but he put in a lot of effort in this, u got my sub
you're great .. helped me alot choosing now!
Great compare man! Thank you from Brazil.
I’ve tried the Sound Blaster G3 with the Alpha S and man my ears were in heaven
very nice combo!!
Hi Napoli, are you Italian ?can you explain me why is better with sound blaster G3? I need a new headset and I don't know what to choose now.
Thanks for the review im getting the alpha s im upgrading my iems lol! you always help me deciding what periph i should get
I have an old pair of cloud's and they sound great...but the left ear stopped working after 3 years - and I wasn't abusive to the headset at all. Starting to see the value of the cables being modular on the Alpha's...if this happened again I could just replace the cable instead of messing around with trying to re-solder super tiny headset wires. Great review...helped make my decision to go with the Alphas.
What an awesome review! Cheers!
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO I GOT A ALPHA S AND CANT WAIT TO USE THEM FOR MY FIRST PC BUILD
I love my cloud 2 but after a couple of years the cable is breaking so thanks for the awesome review
Thank you for detailed explanation and recommendation for Alpha S, I proceed with Cloud 2.
#1 man on the world for tech review! You really helped me!
Omg i stopped watching for a while because I had my entire setup and didn’t need any more suggestions but I have to give you credit you gave me all the suggestions respect for you is high hope you reach a million soon
Thanks for this video sir, Very Informative
"You know what I mean?" haha awesome info man and thank you for the extensive review, comparison and testimonial of your experience. My wire wore out on the HyperX Clouds I have and they're not detachable so rather tan buy a soldering iron, wires and plugs to hopefully fix it, I am buying the Alpha S set and will get back to the other headphones sometime later! The game must go on, as well as the editing, remixing and music production work! Can't wait to get them on Sunday. Thanks again!
Awesome comparison!!
Love the review man helped get my new favorite headset which was the alpha s
Great video I’ve been looking for a new headset keep it up 👍🏽
thank you
Thx for the video, i just went and bought the alpha s
Thank You for helping me choose 😊 I'm going with the alpha s
I've owned 2 pairs of cloud 2's, and I use them on pc through my sound blaster z sound card. They have great sound and are very comfortable, I can wear them all day without getting a headache like most other headsets I've used. my biggest issue is the leatherette ear cups start to flake pretty quick
Yea i switched to the foam ones they offered because of that. But the leathering on the head brace flakes off as well. Besides that the headphones function just fine 4 years later, which speaks to its durability.
The sound on the left side of my cloud 2s just went out so might want to get the alpha s great comparison!
You've sold me, I've had my cloud 2's for 5 years and today the audio jack snapped on me, loved the headphones literally to death and looking for new ones. Thanks for the review just order the alpha s. Happy the surgery went well!
@Kurtis McLean So which one is better?
@Kurtis McLean Im not buying cloud 2 only because it doesn't have detachable cable and im stuck picking between alpha and alpha s
@Kurtis McLean lets say this headset is good for gaming but what about the music? I'm not audiophile hopefully it would be good for me
Thanks for review ❤️❤️
Love u from Egypt so happy about ur son I hope I and ur family all goes well and again u are underrated u deserve more ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💜🤗
Love the videos.
Do you think you can compare the Cloud Alpha S vs. the Fnatic React and maybe even against the Logitech G pro x
I'll definitely thank you later, I'm ordering Alpha S finally and thanks for clearing out my confused.
How did the adveture go mate?
This is the video that I've been waiting for because I just bought a Alpha S and I would like to know which is better. Also, I love your reviews and I love how you speaking/ how detailed and good you speaking. Iam Hungarian and you are understandable, speaking clear. Thanks for this video
Steven joshua Cruz yeah but you can use the control mixer
Steven joshua Cruz yeah I think its really comfortable and good for gaming
I tried the alpha s in a store today and I instantly fell in love with them. Such a light feeling on the head compared to everything else I tested! Instantly bought them.
so don't you regret a year later?
@@user-mg1utr1p Why regret? Still going strong as the first day I bought them!
@@makdrumz just interesting how they do on distance
@@user-mg1utr1p they are perfect :) if you thought of buying them, i totally recommend them!
@@makdrumz I just have bought Razer Blackshark V2, because they are software adjustable, in reviews they say it's mic is louder and also software adjustable, and here they are $25 cheaper than Alpha S
You dont need to apologise bro, along as we get a video, it doesn't matter how long it takes to film and upload.
Great video, keep it up👍❤
Ty alot its realy heplfull i was confusing which one i will take THANKS again 👍
Techne uploads. I watch. I like.
I've had my cloud 2s for like 3yrs and love em, def time for an upgrade thou and I just cant decide on what to get lol was gonna get the black shark v2s but think ima go with the alpha s, I know they will be good! Thanks for the review
did you buy any of them?
@@drizzlydr4ke yes i did went with the alpha s and must say they are great for the price they actually sound better than the cloud2s and are way more comfortable as well! The mic is about the same as the cloud2s thou thats the only down side to this headset tbh.
@@dizzmantle9172 I've heard that the Cloud Alpha catches a lot of noise coming out of your headset, if you're talking to people in discord they can hear the sound through your mic, have you experienced that? Thats basically the only dealbreaker for me that has stopped me from buying the headset this far
Great video man! Whatever you do don’t get the stinger core wireless. At least on ps4 the volume is really really low. Sticking with the Arctis 1 wireless for now
For the price range they sell at, Hyper-X are underrated headsets. Even the Cloud-I is still a good headset. Depending on the game im playing, depends whether I use my Cloud-I, Cloud-II or Revolver - Gears of War Edition (Didn't need the S as the Cloud-II comes with the 7.1 dongle). Great headsets for the price.
Great review man
This dude is underrated
Keep up the good work ! Stay safe 😄
thank you so much
Really nice video thank you
I got the cloud II for 55€/$ almost one year ago and I can tell that they still work great today.
I used HyperX Cloud (not II, no surround crap) for over 4 years before it starting to die, so bought a Cloud Alpha (not S) and yes, I felt the same of this man: I always loved Clould's audio, for me everything was very nicely balanced, but, Alpha have something better, i feel like the sound is more deep and natural on this one.
I have the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless. I like the Alpha a lot
i just got the alpha s and thought i'd share some points. I've not experienced any issues with this head set at all. i've done A LOT of research and looked at alternatives like hm752 and cloud 2, g pros, a bunch of them. I decided to go with this because it is the newest wired release of the hyper x sets and hyper x know what theyre doing. I would only play pc games and listen to music on these. the soundstage is amazing, i can hear so much in songs that i had never heard before, there is no distortion, and the volume sounds as it should. I've plugged the usb sound card into a usb 3 slot as i read it makes a difference vs usb 2. theyre very comfortable and i have no complaints at all. the bass sliders on the side make a noticeable difference, not a massive difference but you'd most likely have them in half or open positions. the hm752 lacks bass for gaming (its a flat sounding headset) and the alpha s has bass and there is the ear cup screw issue on the hm752 so i didnt want to take my chances with that (even if its been fixed in newer dispatches). there is no sound suppression besides the pleather pads which is the same design as the cloud 2 so there should be no difference. the mic sounds good, no cross talk or whirling sounds people have mentioned on the regular alpha (not s). i chose not to go with the cloud 2 because they were released in 2015 and again, the alpha is considered a successor to the cloud 2 in a way. i guess last thing is comfort and i find these very comfortable. i've tried clouds 2 before which are seen like a heavenly pillow for comfort and these feel just the same. oh last thing is actually the 7.1 feature, it sounds terrible but you shouldnt use it for gaming anyway.
hows your experience now man. I am really confused between mh752 and this because everyone keeps saying mh752 is better but also less durable. I also love to hear music with some bass
@@Samconery they’re still amazing. I would very much buy them again if I needed a new headset. Still no distortion, no signs of damage of any sort. Keep in mind you have the option to turn down the bass on these if you need to, so you’re not limited to the one bass setting. Most people keep their bass setting in mid or max.
@@Monkeyz73 Thanks for the feedback man. I will decide on them I guess
Wow! Best effort from this channel! New sub here.
Thank you for this comparison, decided to upgrade to the Alpha S from my Cloud 2's that are coming to the end of its run after a good few years.
My cloud 2’s are still working 4 years later but the material is starting to peel off. Still functions, but maybe it’s bout time i go for the alpha s. Especially since it’d discounted by $30 right now.
@@mightymochi6320 My Cloud 2's audio still works as well as it did when I first bought it, but my microphone was making static noises so I decided to upgrade. Might've been the USB dongle but I'd rather buy a new headset because my Gaming Setup is Purple/Black now and the Red Cloud 2's didn't match. Loving my new Alpha S in Black, it's like the Cloud 2's older brother. The discount made it all the more worth it and it didn't take long to arrive!
Do you find them better than the 2s?
I've had the same Astro A40 headset for last like 9 years and only now they have started to die on me thanks for the review!
Great video, so much detailed information.
thank you so much
thank you so much for explaining... last week i watch this video.. then i buy alpha s then booom much much muchh different than my old headphone this one is crazy awesome.. i suggest u guys buy hyperx alpha s
i was having trouble choosing thank you so much for this man!
what did you choose ?
@@siren4249 alpha s is clearly better
@@Hi-gj7kb thx bro
Great review!!
you really help to decided my new alpha s than cloud 2, thanks man
Wooo cyber week definitely picking up the cloud s
Hi!! Love your vids keep up the great work
I own the alpha s blue color and REALLY love them. They are almost on-par with some studio-grade heaphones (audio technica, AKG, Beyerdynamic). They are amazing. I like the bass slider all the way open and the bass isn't over-powering, instead it's natrual. Everything you say about them I 100% agree.
I used to own the cloud 2's for awhile and thought they were perfect, then the alpha s just takes it to the next level.
Now I'm thinking of buying the blackout version lol
If I'm going for expensive headphones ( yes these are really expensive in my country) Alpha s would be better right because all of the streamers are getting cloud 2 here so im really afraid of making the wrong choice
I got the black ones love them!
I'm so glad I bought the alpha s from Amazon. the blue color was 109 and blacked out color was 129. only 10 difference so I bought the alpha s. it fits super comfortably on my big head. I'm 100% satisfied with them
GOAT reviews, its similar to havin a wealthy friend that owns a lot of products and is giving you a definitive answer depending on your situation. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the detailed comparison. I have the Cloud 2. I'm going to buy the Alpha S for some loved ones.
Hello dude so I just wanna ask since you used both which one was better in your opinion ?
nice! this video clearly answered my comment on the previous video xD
An awesome video like always keep it up!!! =-)
Stinkin love your videos
Your charisma is like Alpha Cloud Alpha S ... And you are right! But, thanks to you, too, I have chosen Audio-Tehnica ATH-G1. Thank you!
How come i havent seen you earlier in my life. Automatic sub ❤️
great video man
Great video, I really didn't know which one I should buy, this was the only good review on this subject I could find
Hello! Great video! Subbed. I want upgrade from Cloud II to Alpha. It's the non S version. Will they sound better too?
Superb review man
Thank you so much
Great review, and not at all boring, tnx alot.
thank you
I hope you are doing awesome Techne.
Lovely review.
thank you so much, doing great. Hope you are as well :)
@@TheTechne With these kinds of reviews I am doing awesome. 😊
Bought the cloud 2 on release, they just died a week ago, lost sound on the left side. Sad day, but looking forward to trying the alpha s. Thanks for the review
Por fin alguien hace el test de micro en el Alpha S, ídolo
Thanks man, really awesome job!! I have been watching hours and hours as i need to get new headphones, and tbh i just binged watched you after some time. And i think i`ll go for Alpha S ones, just waiting on Black Friday to see if they gonna drop some of the $ down.
Thank you for this video. I was just choosing between these two :) . Going with Alpha S o/
I love my Cloud Alpha S. It’s paired with Creative’s Sound Blasterx G6 and Cloud Alpha headset cord so I use the mute toggle. Great setup for ps4
I have a g6 Soundblaster too.
Hey Techne, will you be getting the new Cloud 2 Wireless? Looking forward to your review of it!
Love the channel, have found your content very helpful as i'm currently looking to buy a new headset for my ps4. Is there a noticeable difference in quality between the Arctis 7 wireless and the pros +gamedac, specifically for gaming on the PS4. would appreciate your advice as i'm finding it hard to make a choice between the two, thank you for any help you can give.
My question as well. Have you bought your headset? What did you picked?
LETS GOO ANOTHER TECHNE VIDEO !!!
