Product Description
The HyperX Cloud Alpha S keeps the best parts of the original, groundbreaking Cloud Alpha, but with additional enhancements and features.

You can adjust the audio volume, mic volume, mute the mic, and activate 7.1 and now even adjust the game audio/chat balance on the audio control box. The Cloud Alpha S still features the revolutionary dual-chamber driver system which reduces distortion and provides clearer sound, as well as the signature HyperX comfort afforded by the memory foam ear cushions and extra breathable leatherette. Virtual 7.1 surround sound effect output as a 2 channel stereo signal to be used with stereo headphones.

I started off with the Cloud I's first and absolutely loved them, but the volume pot started getting scratchy and I worried about damage to the attached cable becoming an issue. So I figured I'd stick with HyperX and give these Cloud Alpha's a try, since the cable does detach. I love the Cloud I's, so I'll just stick to comparing the two of those as they are both phenomenal headsets and would both be a good buy.
-Build and Comfort-
HyperX is just KILLING it on the comfort front IMO. The earcups are basically like tempurpedic memory foam and are a joy to wear. Where the Alpha differs from the Cloud I's is how they feel out of the box. The Alphas still super comfy, but firmer than the Cloud I's. After some wear-in, they soften up, but I can imagine the Alphas lasting longer because of this. Still comfy, just not quite as squishy. Some people may prefer a firmer feel, YMMV.
Both headphones feel very solid and have a good weight to them. Could use some more padding in the headband, but I don't really feel much discomfort after wearing them. This is about the only comfort area I could see them needing improvement on. Not sure if it really amounts to build quality, but the previously mentioned attached cable on the Cloud I's has become an issue for me (the volume pot is really scratchy), but the Alphas have a removable cord and the volume pot feels much more sturdy as well.
-Sound Quality-
Holy crap, I have literally returned $500 Shure headphones in favor of these. And to all assuming I have unrefined, plebian ears...16 years as a guitarist/bassist, audio engineering work for 6 of those years, running PA boards at a few venues, and a gig as a backing bassist for a solo artist (using in-ears) would put me a cut above the typical dude listening to Spotify on his iPhone. I know a good pair when I hear it.
Now the Shures were not flat response for mixing or monitoring, they were listening headphones, but while there is a slight EQ curve and some "signature" enhancements on the Alphas, they are surprisingly flat in a good way...albeit with some extended bass and very smooth highs. The difference is the Cloud I's seemed to have more bass due to an EQ bump in the low-end response along with the seal being tighter on your ears with their squishier earcups. The Alphas are firmer and so the seal isn't quite as tight on my head, making for less perceived bass at first, but if you squish them on your ears you catch a bit more of the low-end.
I will also say the low-end on the Alphas is much cleaner than on the Cloud I's, which may not be caught by some listeners. When you hear explosions, rumbling, or are listening to bassy music you won't hear these buzzing or bottoming out like the Cloud I's can. I use an external Sound Blaster card with one of my PCs and my custom EQ curve for music listening is handled beautifully by these Alphas. This by no means is an insult to the Cloud I's, they are easily contenders with most $100-$250 listening headsets out there, but in comparison to the Alphas, these are the differences you'll experience.
-Noise Isolation-
The Alphas are, again, not as tight a seal as the Cloud I's but that could change in time. FWIW, these cut out a noticeable amount of noise...with only really rumbly or booming sounds getting through. A neighbor firing up a giant truck or thunder outside will catch my attention, but high pitched sounds get drowned out when you are listening to music or playing a game. I'm sure with wear they'll get even better, but for a passive headset they do a fine job.
-Mic Quality-
The mic is perfectly fine and right in line with most $100+ gaming headset mics. Don't expect something on-par with a dedicated mic like the HyperX Quadcast or a Razer Siren, this is a totally different league of mic, but does a respectable job. Most people use these for Discord or Zoom calls, or want to cut down on background noise as opposed to using an external mic.
-Connectors-
The core cable has the headphone/mic conductors built into one 3.5mm plug, the same as old iPhone headsets and many other gaming headsets do. There is an extender cable that splits it out to a headphone and mic plug separately. One thing I found weird, is my Cloud I's were the same, but when I plugged the single 3.5mm combo jack into my HyperX Quadcast they flat out would not work. HOWEVER, the Alphas DO work for some reason. Not sure why, seems like basically the same cable. Either way, the cable is long enough for most folks' rigs so no worries on that.
-Overall-
If you want a gaming headset, or even just a headset for listening to music at your computer comfortably, this is an amazing headset. If you're fine with over-ear headphones for listening on the go, there's no reason not to use these IMO. If you're a streamer and want to save money and still get great performance...BUY THESE!!
Some people might scoff at these and not consider them good since they aren't "Pro Level" gear, but honestly for monitoring and even music listening I would put these up against nearly any sub-$600 headset. I don't abuse the hell out of my headphones, but they definitely get put to use for hours on end every day and I've still had no issues. The Cloud I's (non-USB) are great too, but for a bit more the Alphas are just plain amazing. The only thing you need to worry about these is if they discontinue them!
These manage to be some of the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn, no modifications necessary. The cord that connects from the headphones to the dongle is a bit shorter than I'd like, but the length of the USB dongle is plenty long enough to make up for it. It's notable that these headphones also have a detachable (albeit custom) cable. If a cable goes bad you can simply get a replacement and these would effectively last forever.
The sound by default is very flat for those who are looking for flat headphones. If you're not though, the bass sliders on the ears can be cranked up to boost the bass to the perfect desired amount. I use them maxed out all the time and it gives the perfect amount, even sounds good just for music. The surround sound button on the dongle distorts the sound a little, but that's to be expected. It provides a more immersive experience in gaming, and you can just as easily disable it as you can enable it when you're done. The dongle also allowed for the user to balance and and gamechat audio, so you can hear people in gamechat more clearly if you need. The gamechat audio is also at a lower frequency, sort of like radio quality, to allow for voices to be clearer. This is optional too, so if you want people to sound crisp and standard, you can set the gamechat to play through the standard game audio. No fancy drivers or programs necessary for any of this either, there's an optional HyperX app you can install on Windows, but it just makes it easier to identify the sound levels between the game and gamechat volume slider.
If these headphones have any weakness, it would probably be the microphone. It's rather quiet and not the best quality, even with the large pop filter on it. Mic quality is better when the headphones are connected to the computer directly through analog, but the USB connection makes the mic quality a little more muffled. If you don't need the microphone though, you can detach it, which I have done and gets it completely out of the way.
These headphones are in summation some of the best I've ever used as a complete package. They're durable, comfortable, sound great, and work great for gaming and even some light amounts of music listening and any other media consumption. For around $80 they do everything you could ask for.

Em si o headset tem uma qualidade primorosa, sua haste inteiriça de alumínio passa uma sensação de robustez muito confortável, pois não parece que é aquele tipo de fone que vai quebrar ao por e tirar da cabeça e no fim você vai ter que remendar com uma fita adesiva e torcer pra fixar.
Em questão de conforto, após horas e horas seguidas de jogatinas não senti nenhum tipo de desconforto, ele vem com dois kits de espumas, uma em "courino" já instalada por padrão (como na foto do produto), e uma em tecido que vem na caixa, ambas são muito confortáveis, mas para mim que uso óculos, o modelo de courino aperta um pouco na haste do óculos e depende da sua armação pode machucar, então optei por usar o de tecido que não me incomodou em nada. Dois pontos a se ressaltar que a espuma com courino passa uma sensação de isolamento acústico maior, e o modelo de tecido não isola muito, se o volume estiver muito alto, alguém próximo pode acabar ouvindo.
Em questão de qualidade sonora, acredito que seja um dos melhores do mercado para faixa de preço dele, ele passa uma sensação de imersão indescritível, em jogos de corrida por exemplo, do atrito do pneu no asfalto ao vento em contato com o carro são impressionantemente realista, e não só em jogos de corrido, jogos de exploração você sente a natureza a sua volta, em jogos de ação as explosões são potentes e você consegue ouvir os tiros vindo em sua direção, mas claro, tudo isso depende da qualidade de áudio individual que as desenvolvedores trabalham em seus jogos. Visando o mundo de FPS, os passos são claros e precisos.
O Microfone é muito bom para um headset, se você quer apenas para uma chamada no discord ou uma party no PS, ou até mesmo um grupo no Xbox, ele é mais que suficiente, até caso você queria começar no mundo do streaming ele é satisfatório, e em vídeo com um tratamento de áudio também deve agradar, mas caso você queria partir pra uma qualidade mais profissional ele não vai te atender, e obviamente você vai ter que partir pra um microfone de mesa. Mas caso você não queria usar o microfone, ele pode ser desconectado, o que é muito bom.
Sobre compatibilidade, ao comprar esse fone a plataforma que eu visava como principal é o Xbox Series, e via USB pela placa de áudio que vem ele não funciona, então no Xbox seja ele Series ou One, só vai funcionar via cabo P2 diretamente no controle. No começo achei que faria diferença entre o P2 e a placa USB, mas não, claro que você não vai ter acesso aos comandos de volume e 7.1. Também usei no PS4, e no PS sim ele é compatível via USB, e todas as funções funcionam. E PC, obvio, funciona tudo. Não testei via Nintendo Switch, mas acredito que assim como no Xbox funcione apenas via P2 diretamente no console. E sobre o 7.1, se você quer o fone unicamente pelo 7.1, não compre, o áudio fica metalizado e artificial, estraga completamente a experiencia, mas pra mim vejo o 7.1 apenas como um opcional que nunca vou usar. A HyperX recomenda a instalação de um software Ngenuity para o uso no PC, mas é completamente dispensável, não tem nenhum recurso que compense.
E por fim, algo que eu gostei muito no fone é o Controle deslizante de ajuste dos graves que são duas "chaves" que tem, uma em cada lado do fone, que explicando de maneira grosseira abre ou fecha os graves. Pode parecer que não mas da uma diferença bacana, então depende do jogo fica legal com mais ou menos graves e da pra regular nessa chave. Claro, não é aquela diferença absurda, mas da diferença sim, é um plus pro fone.
Claro que o que foi dito para jogos serve para musicas e filmes, mas tudo depende da qualidade de áudio da musica e do filme.
Eu paguei R$580 no fone, acredito que seja um valor justo.
