Expensive, Limited surround sound use with consoles
The HyperX Cloud Alpha S is an excellent headset for both PC gaming and with the Xbox One X. If you mainly use a PS4 or Nintendo Switch, you'll still get great audio, but you won't be able to take advantage of the 7.1 CH virtual surround sound...

Great ingame audio performance, Comfortable for prolonged periods, Sturdy design, good build quality, Custom bass adjustment on earcups

Great sound, Works on a lot of platforms, Bass vents make output customizable
Microphone, Less accurate than the regular Cloud Alpha, No inline controls for console gaming
Getting the right configuration can take some work, but if you're gaming on PC this can offer a better experience than just about anything else for the price...
7.1 virtual surround, remote/mixer, Stunning sound reproduction, Great microphone, Signature HyperX comfort, Highquality construction, new black color

Extremely comfortable design, great for long sessions, Feels like a premium headset thanks to high build quality, Very useful detachable clipon audio controller with a long cable length, Fantastic default sound quality
The bass slider feels like an unnecessary gimmick, Virtual 7.1 surround sound makes almost everything sound worse, making it a pointless feature at best, No software, only hardware, limiting your options
The Cloud Alpha S is, as with all HyperX headsets, a very well made, great sounding and - in this case - a somewhat reasonable price. Priced £30/$30 higher than the Cloud Alpha, this price is as a result of extra features which include a bass slide and al...
Excellent sound quality, both for games and music, Terrific build quality and comfort, Removable cables, Replaceable ear cushions, Useful game/chat volume mixer
No software, thus no useful features, such as microphone sidetone, Microphone performance bogged down by the microphone input quality on the supplied USB sound card, Bass sliders feel gimmicky, Aggressive and unpleasant 7.1 virtual surround sound
The HyperX Cloud Alpha S is available online for $129.99/€124.99. Excellent sound quality, both for games and music Terrific build quality and comfort Removable cables Replaceable ear cushions Useful game/chat volume mixer No software, thus no useful fea...
