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.
@@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?
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.
@@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
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.
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!
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!
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
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
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
got the Alpha S months ago and it's amazing, I recommend it to everyone. I've tried on my old razer headset recently and I dont think im ever going back to anything else
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!
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
@@tempest_250 i have the red and black or orange and black pair of the cloud 2, i play fps only and I usually hear the enemy before my team mates. The clarity is fantastic. Im also 40yrs old, so im sure someone younger may do better with them. They are also extremely comfortable
@@HardHeadMilitary Ohh Glad to hear That You are still Playing Games at that Age (don't get me wrong I am not telling you are old) I am 16 and I Want to Enter eSports and Valorant Is The game that I Am interested In So I wanted the best Headphones I could get for around that 100-130$ mark The Clouds Are Well known And one of the best Headsets Ever But Some reviewers said that The Alpha S are Significantly Better Sounding So I am really Confused I Think I will Go for the Alpha S Since some of the Current Valorant Pros use the Alpha S As their daily (Some are sponsered But I think The headset is quite good ) I am really Confused and Will make the final decision at the last minute cuz both of them are Really Good So I hooe I pick the best Thanks for Your feedback :) And also sorry for The long Reply 😅
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.
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.
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
@@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
Definitely going for the Alpha S, the detachable 3.5 cable is the biggest plus. I’ve had headsets that were a hundred dollars in the past and if you bent the aux you lose sound in one side of the headset, a 5 dollar 3.5 wire would literally ruin your 100 dollar headset. That’s why I think the s cloud is flat out better
I bought Cloud II like 5 years ago, after like two years, I stood up and the cable was under my chair wheels, completely tore the cable from the headset. Ended up getting a 3.5mm female aux connector and wired it into the headset, now I can change aux's. Now I need a new headset, glad hyperx released a pair with detachables now
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!
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.
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.
ei mano, resume o vídeo aí por favor, eu não sei qual headset pegar e eu não sei muito inglês... eu queria saber qual dos dois vale mais a pena pegar nessa black friday
@@Hackerinsidification Em qualidade de áudio os 2 são boas opções. Eu prefiro o Alpha S, pois possui uma qualidade de áudio um pouco superior (em minha opinião). Em aspectos de design do produto, eu prefiro o Alpha S também pelas cores menos chamativas e ter o cabo destacável, facilitando a manutenção caso o cabo apresente defeito.
I upgraded from cloud II to Alpha S (cloud II broken) and here is the differences i noticed: -On alpha S the balence game/chat volume feature is amazing, a real life changer. -There is sidetone/mic monitoring on Alpha S, i didn't know about it and it is really nice ti have. - On the alpha S i have a pressure point on my Jaw i didn't have on cloud II, it's hurting me when i play a lot I feel like Alpha S is heavier however it is in fact lighter that Cloud II. I used a little bit 7.1 on cloud II, but here is Alpha S this is garbage as shit, compared to Cloud II. Never use 7.1 anyway for competitive gaming guys
@@abdelrahmanmohamed8329 My Cloud II broke and i played with earphones for 3 months. So when i switched i didn't noticed sound quality difference because of that 3 month gap. Both really great. Everyone tends to say that is a significantly better sound quantity on Alpha thought. And i did not have any troubles locating footsteps. And i say it again, if you like to play with 7.1, on my Alpha S it is really trash compared to the Cloud II
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!
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
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.
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
Alpha S and Cloud 2s are pretty much similar headsets, I’ve tried both for extended periods of time and the comfort and sound quality are very similar, wherever ( as techne said ) the mic is definitely better on the cloud 2s, the mic on the alphas wasn’t the clearest
"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!
i bought so many headset from a wide price range (like 50$ to 200$) and for real the cloud alpha s are the best so far (after the mmx 300 v2) in comfort and quality !
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.
I have been use the Cloud alpha s for two month and let me tell you something it is the best hyperx headset i ever used and i used a lot except the orpit witch is gonna be my next upgrade .

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?

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?
Me watching this vid after getting a hyperX cloud stinger core

@@Obliviontha1st oh my bad read it now lol I feel dumb
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
Thank you for detailed explanation and recommendation for Alpha S, I proceed with Cloud 2.
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.
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 ?
What an awesome review! Cheers!
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!
Thx for the video, i just went and bought the alpha s
Alpha S and Cloud 2s are pretty much similar headsets, I’ve tried both for extended periods of time and the comfort and sound quality are very similar, wherever ( as techne said ) the mic is definitely better on the cloud 2s, the mic on the alphas wasn’t the clearest
Wow really? You would think a headphone that cost more would sound better
It’s true. Have them both. Bass slider is what made it expensive, IMHO.
Superb review man
Thank you so much
Love the review man helped get my new favorite headset which was the alpha s
Alpha S is great, awesome comparison bro. my Cousin have the S, I used it playing WZ it was so crispy
Better with 7.1 sound or not?
"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!

I got the cloud II for 55€/$ almost one year ago and I can tell that they still work great today.

Really nice video thank you
Techne uploads. I watch. I like.
Thank You for helping me choose 😊 I'm going with the alpha s
this is the only channel I trust with tech reviews
Wow! Best effort from this channel! New sub here.
Great review, and not at all boring, tnx alot.
thank you
I tested both and I prefer the comfort and sound of clouds 2. I think the bass is more punchy, maybe because of bigger drivers
Is it alott better are just a lil bit bc I might return these for cloud 2 idk yet tho
Great review man
The sound on the left side of my cloud 2s just went out so might want to get the alpha s great comparison!
i bought so many headset from a wide price range (like 50$ to 200$) and for real the cloud alpha s are the best so far (after the mmx 300 v2) in comfort and quality !
nice! this video clearly answered my comment on the previous video xD
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.
LETS GOO ANOTHER TECHNE VIDEO !!!
Hi!! Love your vids keep up the great work
I have been use the Cloud alpha s for two month and let me tell you something it is the best hyperx headset i ever used and i used a lot except the orpit witch is gonna be my next upgrade .
I was gonna go with stinger but now I think I should aim higher to alpha S ( or just alpha). Do you think it worth it?
Great review!!
Ik it’s late but congrats on 100k well deserved
never late. thank you so much
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!
