THANK YOU!! I have seen only ONE other person test how headphones feel with glasses! You went the extra mile in my book, good sir! You got another like.
You are the first person I have _ever_ seen who bothered to do a glasses test, thank you! Nobody ever takes glasses into account when reviewing headsets and it's infuriating. I've got a nice pair of headphones, they're super comfy in short bursts, but after about a half hour or so the frames of my glasses really start digging into my head.
I got these around 3-4 weeks ago, and I’m in love with them. I would totally recommend them to somebody who wants to buy a headset but for a not-so-expensive price
Hey a question Are your friends able to hear their voices or any game audio from the headset mic?? Also are your friends able to hear your keyboard or your controller???
I thought he only did a mic test at 3:05 as he cut the music so yo ucan focus on the mic. Whereas, at 3:56 the music is still playing so maybe he was using his normal mic during then. But correct me if I'm wrong.
Just picked up a pair today and OH MAN they are nice! The build quality and the sound is amazing, I couln't be happier! Super comfy too, I can't complain and I have a big head. No drivers, no bullshit, just a great headset.
Hey man! How are your Cloud Alphas holding up? I also have a big head :) and have tried buying the Beyer Dinamic DT 70 pro and almost popped a blood vesel in my head or something... they ware that tight/clampy! So you still consider they are not too tight, right? I intend to buy them. Thanks!
I'm glad they're going for the dual chamber design, giving the mids and highs more room to shine. I've put on WAY to many headsets and just been blown away by overwhelming amounts of bass. Bass is good, it is also necessary, however, if a driver is tuned for too much of it it'll muddle up the highs and mids, and all you'll hear is boomy gunfire. Hopefully this headset will provide a good middle ground between FEELING the game, and having good positional audio. I asked for a pair for xmas from my girlfriend, and she's pretty bad ass so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get em. Great video man! I can't wait to put these bad boys on and pwn some noobs!
I have 1 question. How does your MIC sound so good compared to other youtubers? Because i want to buy a headset with a okey clear mic like you sounded. But when i watch a other youtuber reviewing this product im starting to doubt if this mic test is legit (haha). Pls someone let me know. And sorry for my bad English its not my first language.
Jordin B it’s because his pc has a good sound card. If your using this for console. Every console has a good sound card so it should sound about the same.
For anyone watching this in 2021 and u plan on getting these headphones. Make sure you replace the earmuffs to a bigger size because at 2:55 those speakers will rub against ur ear and hurt like hell
I literally had no idea that he was doing a mic test, once he said the words, "I think it sounds pretty good." I was like hold up, MOM!!!!! I WANT THIS
Tacanacy hell no it's about the feeling for the really good ones. I like the Razer Kraken Pro V2 and yes the mic is good it's comfortable and it has surround sounds
if your play online first person shooters, I recommend going and buying a mini am of some sort. I play with this headset and I can tell exactly which direction an enemy is in and if you add a mini amp, this headset will out perform a lot of others. the sound is clear.
HyperX is known for their SSDs, But they really should be known for their headphones. The Cloud 2's took the market by storm and I can see this easily taking its spot as the most popular.
@@xAguzx32 I think that there are better options now than the Alphas. Also, I would also note that for me, the Alphas get really hot in my hears and I have to take breaks every now and then for my ears to cool off. I also had a problem when turning the volume dial, one side of the ear gets louder than the other. So yeah, even though these have some of the best sound for a gaming headset, I would say that you should go with another headset. I was going to return these and instead get the PC37X but I eneded up keeping them. Hope this helped.
HyperX headsets are generally pretty great, however they all share one major flaw in form of the braided cable, which causes loud noises when coming in contact with clothes/..., because oo its rough surface. In the case of the Alpha it's not that bad though, since the cable is swappable.
Finally a Headset microphone, that sounds like an actual microphone. I even like this more. The other one sounds deeper. But it's just about the right settings.
JACOB green if you care about sound quality, never buy an Astro headset. I had a Hyperx Cloud and bought an Astro a40 hoping for better sound, and I have never been more disappointed. The Alpha is better than a normal one, so I'd say to buy an alpha instead. I will say that if you don't care about sound, the a40 is pretty cool looking.
Sounds like you have some pretty aggressive noise gate or something on your audio. Might want to dial that back a bit? Kinda clipping your words at times. On to the headset: OH MY GOD FINALLY A HEADSET WITH A DECENT MIC. So nice to hear that! Will never understand why so many headsets have mics that sound like they came from my grandma's rotary telephone. Great review! Will definitely put these on the shortlist for my next headset =)
I bought these and unfortunately the mic doesnt work. I use its single 3,5mm jack but even when i bought a splitter, my laptop still doesnt even recognize it. Tried everything i can do but its still not even recognized. Help plz
i returned the corsair h60 pros and astro a40s before landed on these, hands down the best headset for the price. plus ill be able to use this for my ps5 when it comes, whereas the astros were seperate.
Wait wait wait, that was the mic. That was like, whattttttttttt! I am very surprised. My birthday is coming up and I needed a new headset. Definitely gettings these!
Ethan In I’d recommend the gold ones if you don’t want the red colors. They are Selling a limited edition gold version of this. I’m planning on getting it soon too.
For you and any future readers, if you're on Windows 10 FCU there's an option to turn on spatial sound - Windows Sonic. It does the exact same thing as virtual surround sound.
GinjaBoy458 I don't have any experience personally but surround sound honestly doesn't really make a huge difference when you're dealing with headphones. It's just marketing.
Sufian Diraneyya not music... I mean, it'll do the job, but the SHP9500s is a much better option. Add a boompro mic and now you have a better headset than the Alpha 😅
How do these compare to the turtle beach stealth 700 for PS4? I noticed these have a better build quality and mic but the turtle beaches have more features. What do you think?
I was wondering the same thing. Narrowed everything down to these HyperX clouds, turtle beach stealth 700, and ps4 gold wireless headset if I wanna save some money. I can’t decide... its such a tough choice. So many people hate turtle beach, but I don’t mind them although I never had anything other than turtle beaches. I am currently leaning towards these hyperX clouds tho, since everyone seems to absolutely hate turtle beach for some reason.
I have tried the TB stealth 700 on my ps4,sound is good with good deep bass but they are not loud enough which is dissapointing. Also the TB build quality is realy crap,every time i put them on or of my head i was affraid they would snap so i returned them. I bought these instead,gonna use them with sound blaster x g1 on my ps4.
question a a you tuber did a video on hem for ps4 said they weren't any good but they sound great on pc I think he had the old version Have you try them on consoles
So is the Alpha worth the upgrade over the original? I've own the original Hyper X Cloud Headset for years and it's one of my favorite gaming headsets I've ever used.
Hello Randomfrankp i have a question for you what are the BEST gaming headset you have ever tried I don't care about the price of the headset I am just wondering. You are a super great TH-camr never stop with TH-cam

very nice
I didn't notice until it switched back.

iCalibree exactly, it sounds just like a studio mic!
Whoa so so so much better than the last gen

It's not a photo
It is
Hell no its not. I can see it
Ikr but it is the actual headset, The lighting was so nice it fooled me twice
we pretty much feel the same about this headset....great review
i luv u
Gamesky you reviewed this. So the bass sucks? But between this and the stinger, which one has a better bass?
Ryu Hayabusa no, bass doesn’t suck at all. It’s just more of a natural sound than an overemphasized bass. It has a clean sound but still has punch
How to you rate it compared to the HyperX Cloud Revolver S?
Is it comfortable to wear with glasses?
when u start the mic test, i thought nothing changed and u were making a mistake. Later on i realize it just the mic is too good.
Zhihang Liu same i had to go back and rewatch that section
I noticed the change immediately. You deserve better audio equipment
How compared to Cloud 2's ?

Delet3d the a40 TR comes with the mix amp which makes the sound amazing. But the best headset is probably the Hyper X Revolver S
The microphone quality is insane
What are you thoughts of this VS the HyperX Cloud Revolver S?
Alpha: budget
Revolver: good for fps, because of surround sound.
Honestly depends on personal preferenxe

I think the "Gaming" headset thing is just a marketing, and this is the best headset to buy in the $100 range, even for listening to music.
Sufian Diraneyya not music... I mean, it'll do the job, but the SHP9500s is a much better option. Add a boompro mic and now you have a better headset than the Alpha 😅
As I own both shp9500 and alphas, you can’t compare them with each other. Ships are open and alphas are closed(/semi).
I have a set of these. They are great so far
How do these compare to the turtle beach stealth 700 for PS4? I noticed these have a better build quality and mic but the turtle beaches have more features. What do you think?
Pixel Gamer Turtle Beach has terrible audio
Hyper x cloud alpha is way better but if you have extra money get the hyper x cloud 2s it has 7.1 surround sound
Cloud 2 are 5 dollars cheaper. And the supposed surround sound make it sound muddy. Not saying cloud 2 are bad but these are better.
I was wondering the same thing. Narrowed everything down to these HyperX clouds, turtle beach stealth 700, and ps4 gold wireless headset if I wanna save some money. I can’t decide... its such a tough choice. So many people hate turtle beach, but I don’t mind them although I never had anything other than turtle beaches. I am currently leaning towards these hyperX clouds tho, since everyone seems to absolutely hate turtle beach for some reason.
