![]() Placement of sound cues such as footsteps and ability sounds in Valorant, or traffic noises and environmental sounds in open world games were accurate and easy to pinpoint. Imaging performance is great on the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless. Having said that, I have no issues picking up footsteps in Valorant. Treble was clear but I would say is the most subdued frequency in the overall curve. There is definitely more emphasis on the lower mids compared to upper mids. Midrange have good accuracy, with vocals and instruments being present in the overall mix. It also creates a fuller sound especially in open world games. Overall sound signature of the Cloud Alpha Wireless has a slight bass boost for a warmer sound.īass is loud and boomy, giving you that satisfying rumble and punch from explosion sounds. The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless are equipped with 50mm dual chamber drivers, which in theory offers dedicated drivers for bass to prevent it from muddying the mids and highs. This way people can choose if they want to prioritise breathability or sound isolation. Thankfully for my ears they fit just nice, and they do a good job in providing a good seal around my ears.Īs leatherette ear pas tends to get warm after prolonged periods of use, it would have been nice to see HyperX include an alternative set of ear pads, such as a mesh/cloth option. The ear pads are not the thickest, so those with larger ears may find your ears touching the inner lining of the ear pads. The soft leatherette ear pads felt great on the skin and was well-cushioned. It is still firm enough to offer a good seal but loose enough to not feel tight on your ears. The clamping pressure of the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is also very well tuned. The cushioning of the headband is not the plushiest but I am actually amazed by how the headband is able to distribute the weight so evenly across my head that I don’t feel much of its 335 grams (with mic attached) weight. HyperX is known for their comfort, and the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless was no let down. I like how there will be a voice prompt of your battery status when you power on the headphones, and when you mute/unmute the microphone. Both buttons have good tactile feedback on press, and the volume knob has a nice amount of tension. I like how the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless uses a concave button for its power button, and a convex button for the mute button so that is is easy to differentiate which want you are going to press just by feeling it. The ear cups are fixed in one position bound by the aluminium frame.Īs for controls, you can find the power button, mute button, and the charging port on the left ear cup while a single continuous volume knob is found on the right ear cup. You cannot fold the ear cups in for portability, nor can they swivel in to angle to your face shape. Perhaps a reason why the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is built like a tank could be due to its lack of adjustability. ![]() The adjustment rails of the headset feature little nubs along the frame which makes it easy to check the amount that you have extended. The headband is also immensely flexible and there was no creaking or flexing heard when I extended or twisted it. When it comes to build quality the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless feels very solid due to its use of an aluminium frame. At this moment in time, the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is only available in this black/red combo. ![]() The design features the classic black and red HyperX look, with red featured on the logo on the ear cups, frame, and stitching of the headband.
