Some of the products we receive can sometimes make us feel really good and spice up our daily lives. HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless was exactly such a product. This headset has been our guest for a while, but due to the intense tempo and our roadmap at the review point, we could not find the opportunity to open the box and examine it. Frankly, we are very sorry. However, we were able to take it out of the box last week and the moment we put it on, we were really relieved. Those who already know HyperX know that the brand stands out with the use of high quality materials in its products, while the performance of its products is already well known by the players. Cloud Alpha Wireless is also a headset that meets these. Yes, it is a wireless headphone type and I think its most striking feature is that it offers up to 300 hours of battery life. So it can be used for about 12.5 days. During the time we were on the screen for 1 week, we generally used it at music and game points and it still did not run out of charge. In this sense, we can say that it is a headset that really deserves appreciation.
Not only that, but as we have just said, Cloud Alpha Wireless has been a very effective headset with its material quality and comfortable design. First of all, it has a very tidy look and when you put it on your head, it not only gives an enveloping effect, but also makes you feel very comfortable. The weight of the headset reaches 322 grams when you use it without a microphone, and 325 grams with a microphone, which we can say is quite light for a headset of this level. The red earhooks are made of aluminum, the ear caps are made of hard plastic, and the ear cushions of Cloud Alpha Wireless are made of memory foam. While embroidered leather material is used on the bridge, the seams around it are details that smell like quality. It is a model that we find both good and very comfortable with its design.
Cloud Alpha Wireless is a wireless headset. It communicates with the USB dongle that comes out of the box. It doesn’t need any setup. But if you say that I want more customization, then you can download HyperX NGENUITY software and adjust the equalizer settings from here. Let’s continue with the simple setup: You turn on the headset, plug the USB dongle into your computer, and it connects easily. Unfortunately, the headset does not have Bluetooth connectivity support. It would be great if it did, but HyperX offers it in different models; In Cloud Alpha Wireless, it has chosen only the dongle method. There is also no 3.5mm headphone jack. Fortunately, Cloud Alpha Wireless is compatible with PlayStation 5 as well as PC. You can get the same performance when you plug the USB Dongle into the PlayStation 5 as well as the PC, so we had the opportunity to use it both ways. The result is truly impressive.
Cloud Alpha Wireless is a very successful product in terms of performance. In this, the HyperX Dual Chamber design, which was followed when designing the headset, has a great effect. The 50mm dynamic neodymium magnet drivers use the dual-chamber driver system. Thus, while providing clarity in the sound, high, mid-range and bass sounds are separated and well-balanced. Putting aside the technical side of things, this way of design works well in practice. Cloud Alpha Wireless, which we use during both PC and PlayStation 5 games, really creates enough environment for you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere. We tried it in Valorant and CS:GO on PC. At this point, if we include the detachable microphone, your hand will be comfortable in voice communication. Based on bi-directional polarity and with noise canceling support, the microphone transmits your voice to the other side with zero distortion; so your voice is not filtered or muffled. In the meantime, it should be noted that this microphone is Discord and TeamSpeak certified. It is also nice that it can be removed when you are not using it, so that the earphones look very full when you watch music or movies, as well as when you play story-oriented games.
Coming back to the audio performance, we think you will benefit from this headset in competitive team-based games. In addition to the PC, we also evaluated the multiplayer part of Ghost of Tsushima, which we played on PlayStation 5, on the other hand, we made progress in the story part. We found it really successful in creating atmosphere with sound. It manages to immerse you in the game, especially with natural events, sound effects, as well as music. The DTS HeaphoneX Spatial Audio support in Cloud Alpha Wireless plays a big role in this. Thus, you can enjoy a lot not only in games, but also during movies and music. This is a model that can be easily preferred for the trio.
If we talk about sound isolation, we can say that the passive sound isolation provided is extremely effective. You can notice the sound isolation provided even when you put the headphones on your head and do not turn on any sound.
Conclusion
As a result, we can say that Cloud Alpha Wireless is a product that HyperX has all its experience talking about. Thanks to its wonderful comfortable structure, it can be used for a long time, and it will stand firm for years with its material quality. In particular, you will have to work hard to finish the 300-hour battery life. It also deserves praise for its sound performance. In this sense, we think that gamers who want to buy a really good wireless headset will be very pleased with Cloud Alpha Wireless.
