Clear sound with powerful bass
The low-end of the HyperX Cloud is powerful, so you’ll get a lot of punch and rumble from explosions, guns shots and similar sound effects from games and movies. The mids are also quite forward so you’ll be able to easily hear dialogue. The highs have great clarity but are quite recessed, and the mids and bass tend to overpower the treble, so it may be a little difficult for you to hear the minute details of the audio.

Sound can be quite muddy
You won’t get a highly detailed audio experience with this headset. The highs are quite recessed, and combined with the powerful bass and forward mids, the finer audio details can be difficult to hear.

Very comfortable and lightweight with a powerful sound and wide soundstage at an affordable price
The HyperX Cloud Alpha is one of the most comfortable headsets that you can get today with thick padding on the ear cups and headband along with the light weight. The sound is also pretty good with boosted bass and okay detail on the highs. This combination of features is quite difficult to find in this price range.

No 7.1 audio
You won't get virtual surround sound audio out of the box. The Cloud Alpha does not come with the USB module that grants 7.1 surround sound to the previous Cloud models. You can purchase the module separately for use with this headset though.

Wide soundstage
You’ll get a good sense of width and separation from in-game audio, making it much easier for you to determine the direction from where sounds are coming from. The HyperX Cloud Alpha features a dual-chamber design which separates the bass from the mids and highs, and results in well-defined audio source separation and direction.

Earcups and headband trap heat
You may feel heat build-up quickly on your head and around your ears. The ear cups and headband feature a leather surface which may feel smooth on the skin, but does not allow a lot of airflow.

Very comfortable
This headset can be worn for many hours straight with little to no pain, due to the thick padding on the earcups and headband along with its light weight.

Lightweight with just the right clamp force
This headset does not put a lot of pressure on the head, and further enhances comfort. The clamp force is firm enough to keep the headset on the head, but is not too tight that you feel an uncomfortable pinching sensation on the head. The headband is made out of lightweight aluminum, and the yokes are perforated, further reducing weight without compromising the rigidity of the headset.

Removable microphone has great audio quality
In-game conversations shouldn’t be a hassle with this headset. Audio quality from the mic is quite good and with good volume, so your friends and teammates should be able to easily hear what you are saying. The mic also filters out background noise pretty well, so keyboard/mouse/game controller presses and other sounds do not overpower your voice. You can also remove the microphone when not in use.

Removable headset cables
Should the Cloud Alpha’s cable get damaged, replacing it shouldn’t be too difficult. The cable features standard 3.5mm to 3.5mm male connectors, so you should be able to easily find a replacement when needed. This also makes the headset easier to store as you won’t have to deal with a long and fixed cable.
