HyperX Cloud Alpha S Wired Headphones On Ear with Mic (Black)

First of all, I'd say you should be smart enough to use tech. No offence, but it is how it is, one should really know how to use it. Now, the point is, this headphones has a 65ohm impedance so it needs more amps to power it, so when you use it for your PS4 controller in bluetooth mode (Not usb mode), the ps4 controller focuses on max battery life so, it's not gonna give out more amps to power it, that's what causes the low volume issue . and please note this is when you just connect the headphones to the controller, not to the usb port on the ps4 console. IF you connect it through the given usb card with the usb port available on the ps4, there's no low sound issue. as simple as that. It works really good with my MAC too. Now talking about the sound quality and overall headphone quality. Pros : 1.) Really soft premium cushions, large speaker width fits my ears in it really well. 2.) The sound quality, the dual chambers sound quality is really worth it, all the mids and highs and lows are well distinguished. 3.) There are even bass adjusting air nobs in each side of the speakers. 4.) if you game on pc you can control the discord chat and game sounds, like you can either sometimes increase the discord chat volume or if you want to focus on the game sound increase the game volume using the controls on the usb card. its usefull for multiplayer fps games. Cons : I don't think i found any cons with this headphones, I'm not overselling too here, but you have to understand there's no perfect headphones, even the high end sony or bose earphones have some issues on the long run. But I'm just satisfied with everything so far, its feels premium to hold because of the aluminium frame. Its an overall best headset for gaming and surprisingly for music and movies at this price range.

Man this is awesome.I also has compared it with Audio technica M50Xs in a store. M50Xs are a little bit better in some music Warranty:1 year for M50Xs and 2 years for cloud alpha. M50Xs-better treble,foldable,much smaller earcups,3 different cables,built like a tank,no mic,looks low profile, narrow soundstage, (Really good monitoring headphones due to excellent audio performance at base,treble and mids) Cloud alpha-Slightly better base and mids(than M50Xs), Has boom mic, Attracts attention,Way better soundstage and imaging,commonly available 3.5 mm detachable cords,way more comfortable,built like the even better tank, relatively cheap (Only above-average treble performance make it less of a monitoring headphones) It's a better mixed use headphones than M50X and cheaper. NB-Both are clean sounding.They cloud alpha won't sound good if you have a cheapo DAC.(On budget phones is sounds terrible,but on my Huawei mate 9 it has like a very high volume and great bass.On my friends 15k Samsung it sounds like really bad)Also don't buy this if you have a low budget Motherboard.

IN DEPTH INITIAL IMPRESSION DO CHECK IT OUT!!!!!! These have one of the best drivers around the 6k mark but out of the box these sound so bad so flat like cardboard the surround sound is really good on these i can clearly pin point enemies and util in games like valorant and cs But i had to spend time to find Eq for these headphones I found JBL sound signature someone made on github for these particular headphones I'll attach the screenshot of that eq i did with a little tweaks to make them sound good I belive they can sound even better but im not really good at doing eq's but someone can make even better eq than mine its drivers are really capable The sound isolation is really great and the build quality is also nice the ear cups are big but maybe feel a little conjusted if someone has used big earcups like Redgear Cosmo 7.1 But these should fit most of the heads easily the headband is a little tight initially it will get loose overtime i suppose Mic Is really great although you have to keep it really close to your mic otherwise its a little silent they did one thing really bad they dont support the hyperx Ngenuity software only the wireless version of cloud alpha support it which is not great in my opinion

Got it for 4800 rupees. Excellent value for money. I have been using hyperx cloud core for more than 2.5 years. This is a better upgrade from cloud core. Sound quality is excellent. Comfort is on another level. Have tried both xbox one and ps4. Since it is a high powered headphones, ps4 controller couldn't drive it properly. I mean volume is bit low. So i have to turn 100 percent volume on both ps4 and headset, which is quite sad. On other hand, xbox one does a pretty gud job handling this headphone at 75 percent of volume, which is more than enough for a average person. Coming to mic quality, its gud. Noise cancellation is pretty decent. Thanks to amazon i got for 4.8k (including instant 10% Off on SBI card and 10% cash back on amazon pay balance).

I recently bought a HyperX Cloud Alpha S less than 6 months ago. One of the screws on the right plastic bracket holding the headphone together is loose. I think the threading is stripped. If you hold the headset with the Right ear cup's "R" symbol facing you which has Kingston Trademark above it facing you, the right screw is very loose. This has resulted in the right part of the headset being loose and shaky and it sometimes slips and requires constant adjusting. I have recorded a video showcasing the problem along with the troubleshooting steps I have tried. I could send you that video if required. I tried tightening all the screws using a flat head screw drivers. All the other screws (the one on the right ear cup and both on the left) screw in perfectly and tightly. The one screw can't be tightened no matter what and keeps spinning. When it first came I though that the loose feeling was just the way the headset was supposed to feel. However, it got worse over time and after seeing a reddit post where someone had a similar problem. The plastic housing does not seem to be functioning and I have tried to screw the screws in tighter with a screwdriver. However, it became so loose that the housing back panel popped off. I can't rescrew the panel in as both of the screws just keep spinning and don't seem to tighten at all. The screw hole seems to have some defect as all the other three screws tighten perfectly. It is just this one that does not seem to tighten completely and just keeps spinning around. I wrote to Kingston Technology India as per the support page, but they emphatically stated that, "they have never received complaints regarding their headsets" and thus cannot help me. However, my headset came with this defect and it is yet under its 2 year warranty.

The headset that I was previously using with my Xbox One X was Hyper X Cloud Core, and their ear pads were not usable anymore (almost lasted 3 years). It was a good headset for the price. Now, this headset is more of an incremental upgrade rather than a fully blown out one, especially considering the big price difference they both have. The build quality is outstanding. It's a tank. The main differentiating factors between the two are the ear pads. Alphas have way more comfortable earpads and have a very snug fit which in turn helps isolate the background noise. The sound difference between the both is definitely there but not big enough to be the main reason to upgrade. The mic is decent and gets the job done but sometimes it has the tendency to pick up sounds that are coming from your own headset. The inline volume control and mute button is helpful and comes in handy which it's younger brother lacked. All in all, it's a decent purchase if you're in the market looking for a gaming headset in 10k. I'd suggest you wait for a deal on these ones. Sound: 8/10 Noise isolation: 7/10 Mic quality: 6.5/10 Comfort: 10/10 Build quality: 10/10 Price: 8/10

Headphone are very good but bass is bit more and mid trouble is low, mic is very good, split cable is helpful for connecting headphones. Try to find better suitable headphone for gaming. Bass boost make bit hard to do positioning. My old could core 7.1 are better has good trouble.

I bought this headset after reading many positive reviews and I’m glad I did. This headset is amazing for gaming. The sound quality is superb, with clear highs, mids, and lows. The bass is punchy and powerful, but not overwhelming which make this more comfortable for long hours of gaming but you can't feel the music that much. The dual-chamber drivers really make a difference in reducing distortion. The headset is also has very comfortable soft leatherette memory foam ear cushions. The aluminum frame is sturdy and durable, and the detachable cable . The microphone is also good . Although headset support on PC but you can use this on your phone . I highly recommend this headset to anyone looking for a great gaming and audio experience. It’s worth every single rupee.
