Bought for my son and he’s very satisfied with produc
Great sound, really comfy to wear, Great value for money, I’ve had quite alot of headsets, these are the best so far for the money.
These would be perfect if they had a single audio output. They come with 2, one optimized for calls and the other optimized for gaming/music/videos. The ‘gaming’ output is terrible for calls and the ‘calls’ output is terrible for music. This means that if you want to listen to music and get calls frequently, you have to remember to switch the output (on Windows) every time which is quite bad.
Other than that, sound and mic quality is amazing.
The microphone could be better, although i never found any issues, I can be too quiet when speaking among other gamers. Cloud II had better microphone, but Cloud Alpha s has better sound and also alpha s has better surround 7.1. Most important is has better imaging which means you can locate noises location better, This is 100% true, It is excellent at sound location for gaming.
all good but game/chat button is really annoying, makes your volume go lower or higher or your mic lower or higer and its unlogical and sometimes u change it accidently and u dont know about i
Seeing as they are permanently attached to my sons head I’d say they work very well and that he’s happy with them. Especially now he can’t hear when he’s being asked to empty the dishwasher!!
By far the best headphones that I have used and in my opinion the best headphones for 119.99 and below. Extremely comfortable, cancels noise very well and the 7.1 is the ultimate best feature, Well worth the money
Would be 5 stars if the 7.1 worked on the Xbox One
Great headset. Amazing sound quality, and I love the included cloth ear pads as I like to be able to hear some surroundings. The mic monitoring feature is also useful so I can stop myself from being too loud. Extremely comfortable too. The 7.1 surround sound would be good for shooting games however I would not recommend you use it for any other purpose. The bass sliders do not make a huge difference. They don’t really affect the bass it self, they just allow the bass to shake the drivers at high volume.
The bass is one of the major letdowns for me. It lacks quality and presence. The bass sliders seem to make very small impact on the bass. The microphone is also terrible when compared to others in this price class and considering that the cloud cores cost a quarter of the price with an equivalent mic is disgracful from hyperx. Not to mention that i prefer the deeper and more rich low end sound from the hyperx cloud cores.
Overall, this headset is not worth the price considering previous hyperx products and other products on the market. If you really want a headset from hyperx, I’d recommend the cloud alpha/II’s.
Not an audio file by any means. I don’t feel like the fake 7.1 adds anything to my gaming experience. Directional audio in shooters is pretty good. They are loud and clear. Fit is awesome and zero fatigue after hours of use.
The best headset ever but this doungle it’s useless sound was to low to me and buy sound blaster X g6 and whit this amplifier sound it’s like I’ve never hear before , very clear powerful bass and on software you can change equaliser how you wa
