0:15 that is the most unsatifying shot i have ever seen

The stinger sounds like a pilot's mic 😂

Great video guys

Why don't they use neutral colors😔

I just picked up these HyperX Cloud Alpha's and they are amazing. This is the first time i am using any HyperX Headset. My previous headsets have beeen Steelseries SIberia V2 NaVi Edition. The Razer Blacksharks 2.0 and the Logitech G633's. Logitech's and Razer's have their own nice feautures but overall out of those 3 mentioned headsets i prefered the Steelseries V2 (which is pretty old by now) HyperX Cloud Alpha's is by far. And i mean by very far. The best headset i have ever had. I got them today. I tested CS and PUBG and Music and A Movie. I mean gg... Also i like this Company. They are kinda Honset and they don't go like "Our headset is all this!" And then it's not. This headset is all of what they say and even more. Razer advertise their products to be amazing, but ye whatever. I don't like Razer headsets. I was very very dissapointed with Logitech when i tried the G633's. I really like Logitech as a company i have a Logitech Mouse and Keyboard, so i expected their headset to be amazing. It was Good - Fine. But far from Amazing in terms of Comfort and sound quality. The fabric on the ear pads is absolute trash and i hate it. HyperX Cloud Alpha are amazing. Best headset and i recommend them to all gamers. Also to people who say that "They don't have 7.1" To you i say: My dear friend. You have no idea that you have been brainwashed. 7.1 in a 2 driver headset is a scam. It runs through software and it is really really bad. See the thing you think you get with virtual 7.1 You already have with a good headset. Actually Virtual 7.1 gives you bad sound on top and worse directional hearing. So stay far away from it. I was a 7.1 hunter in headsets for a long while untill i actually started testing it and researched it.

The cloud alpha mic sounds better

I've had the Cloud II's for about 3 years now, use them as my work headphones; 8 hours a day, 5 days a week listening to podcasts, music, youtube. They sound great and are super comfy. I personally prefer the velour pads on the Cloud II's. But if the alphas are anything like their previous sets.....if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Alpha mic sounds much much cleaner. Thanks for the review!

As a fan of the original Cloud and Cloud II, I'm happy to see Kingston go back to that design, over their previous more gaming headset look, I would prefer a Black and Grey look but maybe later. The biggest selling point for me is the in-line volume and mic mute, this is something I've wanted in a Cloud headset for a while, though it's a shame they no longer include the velour earpads, I'm not a big fan of leatherette earpads, as they do get uncomfortable.

3.5 mm detachable cable check Shorter cable check Braided cable that doesn’t kink check Pretty good sounding mic check Don’t think you can find anything better in this price point based on features for value for money.

Eber, that voice man. Everytime, just relaxing listening to :). Great job on the review. Thank you.

I have had the orginal cloud headset for 3 years and i have used it nearly every day.. the headset stills works great with no problems! I have upgraded the ear pads and the sound got even better

this is my favorite channel for tech reviews. no doubt about it

Watching this with my HyperX Cloud Alpha

The mic on the HyperX Cloud Alpha is much better imho.

upgraded from stinger to alpha and love that you reviewed both. am using the alpha as I type. worth the purchase over the stinger!

Typing with the Alphas as of now. The sound is superb and vastly superior compared to my last 2 headsets (Sony Gold wireless and turtle beach stealth 600)....the bass is kinda high compared to other headsets, but it is not exaggerated by any means, which makes them sound way good for gaming and music. The volume can get really high. The sound isolation is one of the greatest I have experienced, I literally cannot hear myself talking or typing while gaming or listening to music. The detachable mic and plug cord will guarantee these will last years, you just exchange it and that's it. These are PC aimed headsets, so if you buy them for PS4 or XBOX you are wasting money since the controller is not powerful enough to drive these, resulting in shitty and low sound compared to PC. Better get some those specifically made for consoles. So guys...I am gonna clarify this ear pain issue that some people talk about. The headset is indeed REALLY comfortable. The ear pads are really soft, but the thing is...they may not be thick enough if you have big ears. If you have middle sized ears like mine, you will slightly feel a part of your ears leaned against the foam layer of the drivers, which I think are thick enough. It does not feel like you ears are getting crushed against the drivers tho, just like a gentle lean. Even after hours of use, it does not feel uncomfortable by any means... The problem is not COMFORT, but CLAMPING FORCE. To achieve the desired sound isolation, the pressure they put on you is considerable. At first you may not notice them as the discomfort is gradual, but after a couple of hours you will have to take them off, rest for 10 minutes, and continue. You even feel relieved when you take them off, which is bad imho. I hear Cloud II and Revolver S do not have this issue as much as this one. It is not as horrible as it sounds tho, for the sound they are way worth it. Some people whine too much. If you've got big ears...you may be well f%cked. There you have 2 options, contact Hyperx customer support and ask them to send thicker ear pads (and they will), which based on the comments solves the issue, or buy the brainwavs hm5 from amazon, which will make them way more comfortable and solve the issue also, but will slightly downgrade sound quality and isolation. I have not tried this yet myself, but plan to. If I do I will edit this in the future. TL;DR -Get them if you have small or middle sized ears -Buy or ask Hyperx to send thicker ear pads if you've got big ears -Getting new ear pads will also solve clamping force

RIP I just bought the HyperX Cloud 2's :D

got them yesterday and used them all day ;:D so happy with them

Thanks for the video. I have this head set and love it. I was on the fence about spending $100 on them, but after reading nothing but good reviews...I purchased them, super comfortable.

I got my pair on Friday. they sound AMAZING! I've been playing a lot of battlefield, Rainbow six, The last of us, and fallout. the sound is crisp and vibrant you can hear everything and know which direction it's coming from. the only complaint I have is that it is a little lacking in bass

Subbed! Amazing job sir! Great looking and informative video.

the hyperx cloud alpha is indeed the alpha

I got this headset yesterday. Its really good so far. It feels strong and like it won't break easily. Its really lightweight and you can wear it for a long time without feeling uncomfortable. I had to get a bit used to it first but its good now. I like the sound quality of it, its pretty good. The microphone is pretty nice too. I have yet to use it more and on my ps4. So far, i really recommend it and I think ill be using this headset for a long time. You got enough money for it, go for it. Have a great one and take care of yourselves ♥

Watching this Cloud Alpha review while listening to the audio wearing them. And they sound better than any audio solution I have had before.

I have this one, amazing headphones.

Early comment my time to shine How does moses make coffee? Hebrews it

I'm on my second set in 6 years , and after you put the aftermarket gel ear pads on them they are an all day set . Great review .

Oooo the cloud alpha sounds so soothing

I have Cloud Alpha and I can tell you this headset is just an amazing ! It worth it !

I still use the HyperX Cloud Core, both for gaming, music and DJing (Monitor Headphones) Edit: the detachable cable of the Alpha makes me want to buy it hahaha

Best review I've seen yet, Thanks ! I am going to by it tomorrow !

Thank you. I have been having a hard time trying to find a good gaming headset and this headset is a good find. Keep up the good work and have a good day.

Will buy the Cloud Alpha when they inevitably start making them in neutral colors, preferably black and silver.

Mic test at 4:33

Finally... The video i have been waiting for. Thank you👍👍👍👍👍

Tbh since the main goal of HyperX is competitive peripherals, is good to hear that Bass is not that powerfull. Competitive wise u dont want a bassy headphone.

Whoever says the stinger's mic is better is actually deaf af. Alpha has more clarity and detail. The mic for the Stinger is so.. blocky and muffled. For a $50 difference, theres a BIG difference. ALPHA FTW! I have the stinger myself and it works great, but i think the alpha is 10x better. Haters gonna hate, but its the truth ;)

bruh the stinger mic sounds like a radio station mic from the 1940's.

I love that mic quality!

3 years later it is still incredible! One of the best purchases I've ever made.

should this be my FIRST gaming headset instead of my next?

The Stinger's mic sounded louder than the Alpha's mic and easier to listen to. Voice was slightly muffled for the Alpha; maybe the foam around the Alpha's mic is the cause?

god that mic quality is actually beautiful

Very underrated channel, great job as always! :)

I want to know Dimitry opinion

Makes my choice more complicated

5:03 It is your captain Mr. Hardware Caunuks speaking with the hyper x cloud stinger

Hey, so this is for someone who has NOT bought any Hyperx products like me. I was so confused about the Cloud II and Cloud alpha. Everyone is saying 50/50 and you don't know who to believe. I had a problem with my old headset my ears started to burn every time I put them on but Cloud Alpha covers all around your ear what is so soft and comfortable. I was even between the Kraken 7.1 V2 Chrome (Haven't bought any Razer products too) but everyone said they break so quickly and are very uncomfortable to wear after a few hours. I went to the store and was gonna buy Cloud 2 but for the last second I changed my mind and got the Alpha version. I DO NOT regret this decision at all The sound is so clear even the bass is pretty good. I like the design too blackk&red. I spent 90euros on this and damn I like them so much. Finally, my ear is in heaven. Thank you for reading this P.S sorry for my bad English

"Anything that hyperX should have changed?" Added more options for frickin neutral colors. Like seriously, how hard is that.

I ordered them it’s coming 8 pm

The great part is that I found an alpha for £54.99 on Amazon. Stoked

Just picked these up after having a40+mixamp, st3alth 450's, cloud 2's, x12's, the sony wireless PlayStation ones, and have to say player positioning on these babies are more distinct than what I have experienced. That and comfortability are up there with Astro's. Great review, great vid, great headset.

How does this compare with the HyperX Revolver S. Which has a better sound clarity and bass?. TIA. BTW, HyperX Revolver S is around 120USD here vs 100USD of the alpha. So barely no difference in pricing.

I’ve got this and trust me it’s lit (especially for csgo)

The stinger has a higher volume, you can adjust the volume so thats not even a problem. I would say that there is not much a difference

So here I am in early 2022 still using the set I bought after watching your review. The mic is still pretty good. The ear cups have started flaking, but I'm about to buy a replacement for them.

Steel series Arctis 5, Sennheiser GSP 300, or HyperX Cloud Alphas?

the mic wont work on mine and ive tried everything time to refund :/

Maaaaannnn I was looking for reviews regarding racing games....Thank you so much you helped me made my final choice!!

I bought these headphones yesterday and after few hours of use I have to say they are great headphones. The sound quality really is great and it suits very well for listening to music as well. I especially like the detachable mic because then they can be used on as regular headphone as well. Then comes the comfort... I must say they are not bad at all generally, but personally for me they are a little too loose and I would like them to be a bit tighter so they would stick to my head better and also cancel outside noise better. This being said even though my head is not the smallest so I can see this being a little issue to other people as well. On the other hand the upside of the bit looser fit is that they don't start to stress your ears at all in longer game sessions. So I guess I can get used to it as well. Now comes the biggest flaw which is a personal one and probably not an issue for many. But for me, there is too little cushion so my ears can clearly touch the drivers which makes my ears to hurt after maybe a hour of playing, it's actually quite big of a deal. For people with flatter ears this might not be a problem including the guy in the video. But I wouldn't say I have exceptionally big ears since I haven't had this issue with other headphones including Bose QuietComfort 35. So I'm really hoping there will come thicker replacement cushions or otherwise I might return these. Not that the cushions themselves would be very thin but the drivers come right after the cushion ends so the cup is not very deep at all. EDIT: I actually compared the cup depth to Bose QuietComfort 35 and the depth in these is only half of the Bose's... The cushions are actually equally thick but with these Cloud Alphas the drivers come right after the cushions which makes the cup surprisingly shallow. So to sum up, for this price point these headphones feel very premium and sound quality is great. Build quality is also excellent. If you don't have very big ears I can highly recommend these headphones. Otherwise, I recommend looking elsewhere.

*Im buying a new gaming headset should I buy Cloud II Or Cloud Alpha? Answer Fast!*

Alpha mic sounds better. Great review too!

That intro was soooogood omfg

HyperX Cloud II , still the best and high-performance product division of Kingston Technology, for a budget headset, period. thnks for good review !

Red? Looks orange to me lol

Since the mic is detachable can you replace it with an Antlion Modmic so you only have one cable going from the headset to the source? If so can you test it to see if the Modmic sounds better than the stock mic when passing through the headset?

A speaker on my original Cloud died just before the 2 year warranty ran out. Once I emailed them proof of purchase off Amazon they gave me a RMA no questions asked. Good company and good products

Wow, the MIC on these HyperX Headphones are AMAZING. And yes, NO RGB PLS HYPERX!

Can you please do a review on the Razer Kraken Pro V2?

This or Revolver or Revolver s?

the alpha sounds so good im definetly buying this one

They match your glasses perfectly! :)

Why do the stinger have better mic than Cloud alpha?

were is dimitri bro?

That video entry was dope!

At the moment they have classic red and gold and black . They have very rare blue aswell

Is it only my head it hurts?

So its just a Cloud II without 7.1 right? Or am i missing something?

Your camera track is just amazing😍

The RGB lighting is for the headset to be pretty on camera. That's all it is good for. That, or mood setting, and maybe some custom macros to change the headset colour for team games but that's about as much good as I would see in it.

Philips shp9500 and vmoda mic. Best gamer/mainstream/budget/all around combo. You can thank me later.

i actually think the stinger has a better microphone

I bought the White/Purple version of this headset after watching your review. Best sounding gaming headset I have owned so far. I previously used a Razer Kraken Pro V2.

bought these, noticed they were causing slight discomfort, replaced the pads with hm5's making them great; even brought out some more bass too

Thumbs down. You are clearly not a gamer and are not at all qualified. You are asking for more bass from a GAMING headset. The mids and highs should sound good because you need to hear foot steps.

the alpha mic sounds awful!

Just pickup the alpha preown from gamestop thanks for the help really helpful review

Ive had this for over a year now and Ive used it every single day. No issues and easily the best 90 bucks Ive ever spent.

This is a great headset. I had the Astro A40s and my kid broke them. So I was left with the amp so I went out and purchased these and hooked it up with the Astro amp and let me tell you it takes these to the next level, night and day difference. They actually sound much better then the actual Astro headsets. So if you game I would definitely recommend using and amp. But even without they are a great buy for 100. Extremely comfortable

Thanks alot for the review. I bought them 2 weeks ago and I love it

Listening on my Cloud 2's and the mic from alpha was far better imo. For me the #1 thing is comfort in this type of headset (gaming primarily). With a much higher budget I settled on Cloud 2 in grey / black as looks are a major factor for me too (after comfort tho). I would never use Alpha as I can find as comfortable and as good performance in other (not red/ black sets). People should go try on as many sets as they can find on display before buying imo. I would say I tried about 20 sets on in about 6 different retail locations and ended up buying Cloud 2 on sale for about $75.00 US.

I'm now sure what I will buy to use long time, thank You for great review of HyperX Cloud Alpha guys! :)

I don't like the red color, make it black and is perfect, nice vid

i actually recently picked these up. they're super comfortable , light weight and sounds great love them.

I already ordered a pair of these and I'm getting it in the next couple days. Really excited. My first gaming headset. The one I'm currently using is the stock mono earbud that you get with the PS4. Been using it since February 😂

Excellent review! Thank you!
