Its 2.4GHz dongle also allows it to be cross-compatible between PC and PlayStation 5, easily allowing you to swap platforms to suit your mood. There’s no other headset that comes close, so if you dread running dry in the middle of a match, this is the best choice available right now. Wireless battery life is easily the star of the show with up to 300 hours per charge. The wireless model carries all of these traits through, including the dual-chamber audio system, which separates the bass from the midrange and treble to enhance clarity, and its propensity for trapping heat but otherwise being comfortable to wear across gaming sessions. The appeal of the Cloud Alpha line has historically lain with its stellar balance of great audio quality, comfort, and clear comms.

Though HyperX is no stranger to wireless audio, the Cloud Alpha Wireless is the first in the series that has earned its wings and learned to fly. In 2019, the company added surround sound to the mix with the Cloud Alpha S, and proceeded to re-release both in multiple new colors ever since.

The original debuted in 2017 and was widely acclaimed, including by me, for its exceptional audio quality, driven by its dual-chamber driver system. The Cloud Alpha Wireless is the third entry in HyperX’s Cloud Alpha line of gaming headsets. Maybe firmware is better now? I see a lot of these posts go back 8 months etc.There’s no other headset that comes close to this level of battery life. I also don't find these bad sounding or too muddy or anything, but i'm not an audiophile by any means. I hated charging (and bad comfort) of my virtuoso SE. Will try again later, and try another game - but tempted to send these back. Also cycled through the in-game choices (i could hear the changes as i switched, so didn't need restart or anything) and it didn't help either. I switched off DTSx (and restarted the game) and same issue remained. Also things behind me were more or less inaudible. It seemed to suddenly jump to '100% right' with the slightest turn. If a sound source was slightly off to the right, or slightly off to the left, the headset was very bad at giving it that 'slight' angle. Borderlands 3 was extremely noticeable.Īnother thing i noticed was the directioning. I do really like them tbh but you're all right - the latency added when using the EQ or the DTS is unusable in games. Just joined this boat with a pair of Alphas in the recent price drops (amazon matching currys). Gonna return it until I hear that the firmware improves. Balanced SHOULD be the default profile because it sounds so much better with it. It's a shame because Balanced profile is needed since this headset has too much bass and is 'boomy' without it. Not going to accept latency in gaming if there isn't a solution will return them.ĮDIT: it appears the lag is clearly added if you enable DTS and/or Equalizer profiles, both add lag. It's most heard in gaming when you fire a gun and hear the sound slightly delayed.Īlready have the HyperX Cloud Alpha S wired which have been flawless for 2 years, and prefer the all black color anyway. I saw that said the latency is about 21ms which is among the best of wireless headsets, this feels like much more than that though. There is a noticeable latency to what I'd guess is 100-200ms range.

Win11, USB 3.0 port, updated firmware with Ngenuity. Just got the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless (was on sale this week) and found this thread.

I have to ask, why not just get the headphone to sound like the Balanced EQ out of the box? it would be a dramatic improvement.Īlso, the Microphone has great noise cancelling ability and all but it doesn't have the crispest sound, and is also EXTREMELY quiet and prone to losing my voice at even a slight adjustment, it has to be brushing my face to get a half decent volume, and for some reason no option to boost it shows up in the usual place in the Levels in windows sound options. Bought these myself for my birthday recently and sure enough, lured in by positive reviews and words on sites like rtings about the audio and mic quality, I was disappointed by a muddy sound out the box which requires the EQ settings to alleviate, introducing a small but noticeable amount of latency
