By Vanessa McCuaig

We’ve tested 14 pairs of HyperX headphones. They make mostly mid-range gaming headsets with a couple of higher-end models. They’re known for their great microphones and good overall audio reproduction, but they’re generally somewhat lacking in active features and customization options.

    The best HyperX headset we’ve tested is the ΗyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II Wireless. These sturdy headphones are the wireless version of the HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II, which you’ll also find on our list. Although you can’t use them wired, they have over 30 hours of continuous playtime, and their wireless dongle ensures a low-latency gaming experience. If you like to game with others, the boom mic does a great job of capturing your voice so that you sound clear and understandable. It can also separate speech from background sound decently well, which is handy if you game in a noisy environment.

    They have a very comfortable fit with thick padding to keep fatigue at bay during long dungeon crawls. Their bass-heavy sound also ensures sound effects like footsteps pop into gameplay without drowning out dialogue and instruments. Unfortunately, the headphones are prone to inconsistencies in audio delivery, especially if you wear glasses or have thick hair, so it’s important to take the time to ensure a good fit each time you use them. Even though they have companion software, it lacks an EQ. You can access the 7.1 surround feature, which can help make your audio sound more immersive.

    The HyperX Cloud Alpha S is the best HyperX headset with a wired connection we’ve tested. You might prefer a wired headset if you don’t want to worry about battery life or latency. Unlike the HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II Wireless, these comfortable and sturdy headphones have bass sliders on either ear cup so that you can adjust the amount of bass in each ear cup separately. With the sliders turned all the way up, they have a warm, boomy sound profile that can help emphasize sound effects like footsteps and explosions in games. They also come with leather or cloth ear cup padding, so you can choose which is more comfortable.

    The boom mic has a good performance, so you’ll sound natural and easy to understand when gaming with friends, and moderate background noise won’t drown out your voice. They’re fully compatible with most consoles via analog connection but also come with a USB dongle that provides a low latency connection with PCs and PlayStation consoles. The dongle has physical buttons for volume control, channel mixing, mic mute, and surround sound, so you have some controls within easy reach when gaming. The headphones are compatible with HyperX NGENUITY software, which offers surround sound and microphone level controls but is otherwise simple in design.

    Check out the HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II if you want something more affordable. These wired headphones were released in 2015 and are still among the brand’s better-known offerings. They’re just as comfortable and well-built as the HyperX Cloud Alpha S and offer a better microphone performance. Their boom mic makes your voice sound clear and natural and has better noise handling than our previous pick, so your voice won’t be drowned out by moderate noise like people talking in the same room or traffic outside your window.

    Their sound profile adds boom to your audio, which can help make action-packed games feel more immersive. Instruments and voices are present in the mix but lack some detail. Unlike the pricier headsets listed here, they don’t come with sound customization features like an EQ or onboard sliders and don’t have app support. However, the included USΒ dongle provides a low latency connection with PCs and PlayStation consoles. It includes controls for adjusting chat and game audio levels and activating a 7.1 virtual surround sound feature. These headphones are also compatible with most consoles via an analog connection.

    The HyperX Cloud Stinger are the best HyperX headphones in the budget category we’ve tested. These cheaper headphones aren’t as well-built or comfortable as the previous picks but offer a solid overall performance for gaming. Their boom mic makes your voice a little less bright and open than the HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II’s mic but performs similarly overall, so they’re a good choice if you play many online games. The ear cup padding doesn’t feel as plush as some other headsets, but they still have a comfortable fit suitable for long gaming sessions. Their wired design makes them compatible with PCs and PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

    Their bass-heavy sound profile lends extra rumble, punch, and boom to your audio. They may sound a little muddy, but elements like voices are still clear and present. Like most ΗyperX headsets we’ve tested, their sound is dependent on the headphones’ fit and positioning on your head, so you need to adjust them to get the same sound every time you wear them. They don’t work with an app or have sound customization features, so you can’t tweak their sound to your preferences. If you’re looking for headphones that provide a more customizable listening experience, the HyperX Cloud Stinger S are slightly more expensive and support virtual surround sound. However, their mic has more trouble separating your voice from ambient sound.

Compared to other brands

  • Durable build quality.
    HyperX makes sturdy headphones durable enough to withstand constant and repeated use. Even their lower-end models feel like they’ll survive getting dropped a couple of times.
  • Versatile gaming designs.
    HyperX headsets are good not only for gaming but most also have a detachable microphone for more casual use with your mobile devices on the go. None of the models we’ve tested have an in-line mic for taking calls on your phone, but some have a detachable cable, so any in-line remote will do.
  • Great microphone quality.
    The microphone quality of most of the HyperX headphones we’ve tested is excellent. They reproduce your voice accurately and separate noise from speech well enough to use at competitions and in louder environments.
  • Lack active features.
    Although HyperX has some wireless headsets and a couple of models that support extra features like surround sound or wireless charging, they don’t have headphones that do it all like some competing brands offer.
  • Few customization options.
    Unfortunately, these headphones don’t have many customization options, especially compared to gaming headsets from other brands like SteelSeries, Razer, or Logitech.

HyperX vs Logitech

Logitech and HyperX make similarly priced gaming headsets, although HyperX generally produces better-built products. Some are even Xbox compatible, and their mics have better recording quality too. However, thanks to their companion software support, Logitech’s headsets are much more customizable. Some also support Bluetooth, which is uncommon in HyperX headsets, so it’s worth considering Logitech’s best headsets.

HyperX vs Razer

Razer offers a more diverse lineup of headphones than HyperX, and some of their products are even designed for hybrid casual and gaming use. Some of Razer’s best headsets also have features like noise cancelling, haptic bass, or customizable RGB lighting. You can generally expect robust sound customization features too. Conversely, HyperX may be more barebones regarding extra features, but they produce strictly gaming headphones that are more comfortable and have a better build quality.

HyperX vs Corsair

Corsair and HyperX make many similarly performing headsets at different price points. HyperX headsets tend to be more comfortable, and some of their headphones even come with a second pair of ear cup padding. In comparison, many Corsair headsets have companion app support, which makes them more customizable. A couple of models also support Bluetooth, which is good if you want to stay connected to your console and smartphone simultaneously.

Overall, HyperX makes durable and sturdy gaming headsets at an affordable price with excellent noise-filtering microphones. Most of their headsets are wired, which is great if you prefer to plug and play without worrying about latency. They lack features compared to popular headsets like the Astro A50 Gen 4 Wireless 2019, the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, or the Logitech G933 Wireless Gaming Headset. Their lineup is worth looking at if you prefer simpler yet well-rounded designs.

Lineup

HyperX offers a few different lineups at different price points and with wired and wireless designs. It can be confusing to sort through all of their products, as they all start with ‘Cloud’, and many look nearly identical. There’s also a distinct ‘Cloud’ lineup:

  • Cloud = A lineup of well-known gaming headsets at different price points. They have an aluminum hinge design and flexible boom mic. Some also come with a USB card.
  • Stinger = Mid to budget-range headsets.
  • Flight = Wireless upper mid-range headsets.
  • Alpha = High-end headsets.

Recent Updates

Conclusion

HyperX makes mostly wired gaming headsets with excellent microphones and sturdy build quality. They’re affordable, tend to sound moderately well-balanced, and their wired models offer a great low-latency gaming experience. Not everyone finds a wired design as convenient, though. Their headsets also lack customization options compared to other brands.

HyperX Cloud Alpha gaming headset review

If you’re in the world of PC gaming, there’s a relatively high chance you’ve seen people talking about the HyperX Cloud Alpha on forums or other sites. That’s for good reason: it’s a rockstar of a headset under $100 USD (often closer to $69 USD). But how good is it?

Editor’s note: this HyperX Cloud Alpha review was updated on October 31, 2022, to include formatting updates and update the alternatives section.

Gamers have long enjoyed the HyperX gaming headsets because they offer relatively high quality for a low price. Additionally, the no-frills experience keeps unwanted complications out of gaming sessions. Remote workers will also appreciate having a headset with a decent mic and comfortable padding to facilitate conference calls.

What is the HyperX Cloud Alpha like to use?

A super-thick band padding helps distribute the weight of the HyperX Cloud Alpha quite well.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha is designed from the very beginning with durability and comfort in mind. The band and forks are solid metal, and each movable part of the headset is protected by robust joints, or thick padding. The ear cups themselves are made of a thick plastic encircling a metal backing, and they use a super thick ear pad to seal to your head.

From the moment you take it out of the box, to the moment you hurl it across the room after your squadmates screw up for the thousandth time, the HyperX Cloud Alpha is probably one of the most durable headsets on the market. If you somehow damage the cables or microphone, you can remove both from the headset and replace them for a pittance instead of having to replace the whole unit. While I sound like a broken record saying it, being able to fix your headset is the most important durability feature to have.

Super deep leatherette ear pads allow for extreme comfort, great isolation.

When you start using the HyperX Cloud Alpha, you’ll notice that it creates a very good seal against your head after adjusting the band, which is important for two reasons. First, a good seal means your headset won’t jostle around if you move, or slide down your head as the sweat builds. Second, if you want to block out noise from around you, it’s imperative for isolation.

You should want solid isolation if you’re a gamer or work at home in a loud environment, but ear pads this deep and soft are an unfortunate rarity. I wish more headphones followed this example, because it would do wonders for ears of all sizes.

About one third of the way down the included cable is a remote that houses a microphone mute switch, and a volume wheel. It’s definitely convenient to be able to adjust your master volume without changing your computer’s settings when you move back and forth between programs. If you’re a parent or teen, being able to mute the mic when your family members walk in the room is also a good way to avoid the embarrassment of your Discord server hearing your home life.

How do you connect the HyperX Cloud Alpha?

Two 3.5mm kacs allow for cable, microphone replacement.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha can connect to just about anything with a 3.5mm headphone jack. There are no fancy software bells and whistles necessary, this is just another plug-n-play headset without any complications. It doesn’t have any special features like surround sound support but most modern consoles like the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 have integrated 3D audio that works with wired headsets.

Does the HyperX Cloud Alpha block out noise?

Even though it’s not a lot, the HyperX Cloud Alpha’s isolation between 200 and 1000Hz is uncommonly good for a gaming headset.

First things first, this gaming headset is incredible for blocking outside sound. That’s an enormous advantage not only because it means common household noise won’t make its way into your game (and therefore adversely affecting sound quality), but also because it means you won’t have to worry about cooking your ears prematurely. The cherry on top of a headset that isolates well is that you won’t wake anyone else up with noise leaking out of the ear cups. On more than one occasion, I used the Cloud Alpha sans microphone with my Switch with my wife sleeping soundly next to me.

It won’t mute a train going by, but this is one of the best-isolating headsets we’ve tested by a country mile. To do better, you’d need active noise cancellation but that will cost you.

This article’s frequency response and isolation charts were measured with our old testing system. We have since purchased a Bruel & Kjaer 5128 test fixture (and the appropriate support equipment) to update our testing and data collection. It will take a while to update our backlog of old test results, but we will update this review (and many others!) once we’re able with improved sound quality measurements, isolation performance plots, and standardized microphone demos. These will be made obvious with our new chart aesthetic (black background instead of white). Each new mic sample begins with the phrase, “This is a SoundGuys standardized microphone demonstration …”

Thank you for bearing with us, and we hope to see you again once we’ve sorted everything out.

How does the HyperX Cloud Alpha sound?

A frequency response this close to 0dB deviation is highly prized in the mixing and audiophile worlds—for good reason.

Now that we’ve established that you’re not likely to have outside interference in your tunes, let’s talk about sound quality. Because the isolation is so good, you won’t have to worry about destructive interference or auditory masking preventing you from hearing small details in music. However, the actual performance of the speaker elements in the HyperX Cloud Alpha also allow your music and games to really shine.

With the exception of a dip at 4kHz, the frequency response of the product doesn’t alter the signal sent by your console or computer that much, meaning the sound will be very similar to how it was originally mixed. The advantage of this kind of response is that little details won’t get lost as often, and music will sound much “clearer” than you might be used to. It’s why studio headphones will typically aim for this type of sound.

Bass, mids

The in-line remote allows you to adjust volume on the fly, mute your microphone.

Low notes aren’t going to rattle your skull, and there won’t be a lot of boomy echoes to deal with. That may not be what you’re looking for, but this type of sound means you won’t lose quiet sounds in the low end, like heavy footsteps behind you. When you switch to music, you’ll be able to hear vocals and synths in a good balance of loudness, and you’ll be able to hear the qualities inherent to the instruments, like the distortion added to the low synth in Childish Gambino’s Sober.

Highs

The most interesting feature of the chart above is that dip at 4kHz. While it may seem out of place, it’s not an uncommon way to sidestep some issues that many consumers have with headphones. Namely, it takes the edge off of loud sibilant sounds like f, s, sh sounds, cymbals, and ringing. Additionally, some listeners experience some resonances and echoes in this range depending on their ear canals, so some manufacturers will also downplay this narrow band to avoid it.

While this is a smart way to go, you may notice some atmosphere effects in your games to sound a little off, but it’s really such a minor thing that you won’t notice it until someone points it out. You might notice it in a track like Pink Floyd’s Us and Them when the echoes of the guitar don’t last as long as they might otherwise. Like I said, super minor detail.

Is the microphone good for gaming?

The microphone is a little wonky, but otherwise it’s intelligently tailored to the demands of voice chat. If you have a very deep voice, you may find that it makes you sound a bit different over voice clients like Discord. However, the vast majority of people won’t have the same problems that I had with it. You’ll notice that it slightly emphasizes notes that help people understand what you’re saying, but slightly under-emphasizes the range of fundamental notes. That’s to combat that overly-boomy sound that microphones can sometimes have when you get too close to them.

You can listen to the sample above to see what it’s like in the real world, but you’ll immediately notice it’s not quite the HyperX Quadcast or anything. If vocals are extremely important to you, I suggest using a USB mic or gaming mic in tandem with your headset instead of just this one. If you’re only using Discord: this is more than good enough.

Should you buy the HyperX Cloud Alpha?

Pictured: an incredible gaming headset.

Yes, the HyperX Cloud Alpha is certainly worth your cash, even today. I’ve enjoyed my time with the HyperX Cloud Alpha, and I can understand why this headset is so beloved by the online community. It sounds great and provides really good isolation from the world around you. Sure, it’s not the highest of the high-end gaming headsets, but it offers a known quantity and it’s pretty good.

Even if I were to offer alternatives, there’s a good reason that this is a headset that’s gotten so much attention and use from the gaming community, and that reason is quality. This is the headset you get when you’ve outgrown the best Razer options and need something built for the long haul. It doesn’t surprise us that this headset made it onto our best PC gaming headsets list with ease. Though, if you need a better mic, you want to look elsewhere.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha is probably one of the most platonically ideal gaming headsets of late, as it offers a good mix of high durability, good sound quality, and extreme value. It might sound strange to you that I’m calling a $100 USD gaming headset an extreme value, but look at it this way: if you’re up all night raiding, if you spend a lot of time with headphones on your skull—you can spend hundreds or thousands of dollars chasing quality. The HyperX Cloud Alpha offers exactly that, far above its price point, so it’ll be a trusty companion for a long time. Given that pretty much every gaming platform now includes its own audio features like virtual surround sound, the Cloud Alpha arguably competes with higher-end headsets even more favorably today than when it first came out.

Additionally, gaming headsets in the sub-$100 range are typically made of materials that are either easily broken or will decay quickly with heavy use. You can easily spend over $500 USD in just a few years if your headsets keep breaking or getting worn down. The HyperX Cloud Alpha can be maintained with replacement parts, and is built like a tank to boot. That $100 USD may seem expensive up front, but it’ll probably be the smarter investment in the long run.

What’s the difference between the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless and Cloud Alpha?

The ring around the base of the microphone on the Cloud Alpha Wireless lights up red when it’s muted.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless looks nearly identical to the HyperX Cloud Alpha, except the former lacks a 3.5mm input so you can’t use a wired connection to operate it. With the Cloud Alpha Wireless, you need to use the included USB-A wireless RF dongle with your PC or PlayStation console. The USB-A connector limits its functionality so you can’t use it with a Nintendo Switch or Xbox. Multi-platform gamers may find the wired HyperX Cloud Alpha more appealing for its greater versatility.

If, however, you own a PC or PlayStation for gaming, you’ll love all that the Cloud Alpha Wireless has to offer, including its incredible battery life. HyperX claims the Cloud Alpha Wireless lasts 300 hours on a single charge, and our battery test is still going. After five days of regular use with the headset, the HyperX NGenuity battery meter reads 88%, translating to 264 hours of battery life remaining. The NGenuity software is good for more than just battery readouts, you can also use it to enable Windows DTS:X spatial sound, select from EQ presets, create a custom EQ, and adjust the microphone volume.

Ultimately, gamers who want a wireless option with the best battery life around should go for the Cloud Alpha Wireless. It the same build as the beloved HyperX Cloud Alpha but trades the wired connection of old for a wireless one. Just bear in mind the $199 USD sticker price of the Cloud Alpha Wireless.

What should you get instead of the HyperX Cloud Alpha?

The Razer Barracuda X (2022) is great if you play games on multiple consoles.

Even years after its release, the HyperX Cloud Alpha is a great $99 USD gaming headset, but the field has definitely grown more crowded. Wireless options like Razer Barracuda X or the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless bring comparable audio and microphone quality for the same price, plus they’re wireless with USB-C dongles.

Then there are alternative wired options to think about. The Razer BlackShark V2 is a perennial mainstay, with great isolation, good sound quality, and access to THX Spatial Audio on PC through the Razer Synapse software, all for under $100 USD. There’s also simpler options like the Beyerdynamic MMX100 or the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1, which don’t have fancy software or extra gimmicks—they’re just straightforwardly good pairs of headphones with microphones attached.

The HyperX Cloud II is another affordable headset from HyperX, and it has great features like in-line controls, 7.1 surround sound, and a detachable microphone. It’s similar to the Cloud Alpha with its 3.5mm jack connectivity, and durable build. It’s a great option to consider if you like the low cost of the Cloud Alpha but want a little extra with that surround sound.

Frequently asked questions about the HyperX Cloud Alpha

It’s unlikely. While most detachable gaming headset microphones connect to their corresponding headset via 3.5mm, they often have molded plastic surrounding them, ensuring that only ones designed for a specific headset will fit.

Yes, any headset that plugs into the 3.5mm jack of the PlayStation DualSense controller will be able to take advantage of the console’s Tempest 3D audio features.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha might sound a little better with something like HyperX’s USB sound card, but that really depends on the device you use it with. Likely you won’t see much difference on PC, unless your 3.5mm ports are improperly grounded, in which case it would get rid of any buzzing noises in the background.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha will do in a pinch, but it doesn’t have a very accurate or loud microphone. However, there are plenty of gaming headsets with good microphones you might like instead.

Our microphone samples are as close to raw as we can get it—what you hear is what it sounds like. In the case of the HyperX Cloud Alpha, HyperX claims the mic does some noise cancellation on the hardware side, which can have an impact.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha does not support virtual surround sound. If that’s a must-have feature for you, the HyperX Cloud Alpha S is basically the same headset with a handful of additional features, including 7.1 virtual surround sound.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha S is similarly built to other Cloud Alpha headsets, making it really durable and comfortable. It features an audio control unit with its USB adapter, making it really easy to toggle 7.1 virtual surround sound. It is a little more expensive than the Cloud Alpha, and it doesn’t quite sound as good, but if you really like surround sound, it might be a good option to consider.
