Great headset for gamers
- April 27, 2021[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This headset is perfect for me. I play video games minimally 8 hours a day and I swap from console to PC. I use this headset for everything except my phone (it can connect to my phone if I wanted it to) and let me tell you - if feels very comfortable even after extended periods of use. If you're used to headsets from the ASTRO brand, this might feel like a bit of a down-grade because there's no volume mixer with this headset - only volume up/down & mute. There's also no software for customizations like you would get with the HyperX Pulsefire Raid but you really don't *need* it with this headset. (No software for this headset is part of why I gave it a 4/5 stars - if the HyperX mouse can utilize software, a headset should too) The microphone is detachable so you can use it for just listening to audio if you want to. Though I don't recommend working out with this headset as it will get moist fairly quickly and thus become uncomfortable. The cord length is nice as well since it's not too long and it's not too short; the only issue is that it can tangle itself up pretty easily which can be annoying (This being the other reason I only gave it 4/5 stars) HyperX is a very good brand though and with them I don't feel like I'm paying a 'logo premium' like you might feel from certain other brands. It's also very durable, I've dropped this headset many times on the ground (concrete flooring) and it's not been scratched or damaged or anything. Overall would highly recommend this headset.

Better option for less
- January 21, 2023[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought I’d buy my son a better option headphone, Sennheiser, during the holidays for his PC; they were recommended as a better option, but more expensive. Long story short, I had to return the Sennheiser’s. My son has always used Hyper X brand and so I purchased these on sale. He said these have better bass and overall a better feel over the more expensive brand. I won’t argue that.

Sturdy, great sounding headset
- July 5, 2024It's only early days but very happy with the build quality, sound quality and fit. Great price on sale and fast delivery. I recommend this headset for anyone looking for a decent low to mid range headset.

Awesome
- June 4, 2023[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] High quality headset that I use for my Xbox one s. Leather memory foam on the ears but they are a little heavy. In line mic and volume control is my favorite part. The mic and wire are replaceable.

Amazing quality, comfort, and overall performance
- March 22, 2024[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sound Quality: 10/10 Mic Quality: 10/10 (based on the response from online friends) Durability: 10/10 Detachable mic and aux cord allows you to replace components at a fraction of the cost (if needed) rather than replacing the whole headset. If you play online you will notice an immediate difference and advantage. Footsteps are extremely clear and you have extra time to adjust positions and prepare. You can also game for extended periods with no discomfort, the headset is sturdy but not heavy, and the ear cups are very comfortable.

Best lower budget gaming headset
- January 16, 2025[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I owned a pair of HyperX Cloud II’s for around 3 years, I admit they could’ve lasted me longer if I had taken better care of them. After owning those classic headphones I knew that my next ones had to be from HyperX again, they’re just that good. I bought the Cloud Alpha with high expectations and they did not disappoint. The build quality is fantastic, the earcups are nice and squishy and the headband feels great in your head. It also doesn’t push into your skull. The sound quality is amazing and really well balanced while still having that emphasis on footsteps for the gamers. The microphone is surprisingly good and clear. Overall, these are definitely the best pair of headsets you can get for around 80-100 dollars now that the Cloud II’s have been discontinued.

Hyper X headset
- January 1, 2021[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I personally really enjoy this headset, & I don’t regret buying them. It fits perfectly on my ears and are super comfortable! The only downside is that from time to time, the mic would cut out & others can’t hear me, I’m not exactly sure if I plugged them in wrong or not, but overall, then headset is amazing!
