HyperX's Cloud Alpha is the first gaming headset with dual-chamber drivers -- one dedicated to bass and the other for mids and highs -- designed to deliver a fuller sound. But that's not what you'll first notice about the Cloud Alpha. No, the salient takeaway is comfort. My ears have never known such luxury.

Dual-chamber audio, an affordable price and comfortable earmuffs? HyperX's Cloud Alpha is a nifty deal.

Best headphones on the market! once I received these bad boys I won 3 chicken dinners in a row!!!!! no joke!

For a headset made by a company that makes PC components they are incredibly good, sound quality with the weird dual chamber thing works wonders, you can really tell apart the lows and highs. The build quality is fantastic have had these for a year and abit now, dropped,throw­n,stepped on,sat on, every thing u can think of and they are still in perfect working order, and even dropped them in the bath, after abit of drying, they still worked perfectly! (thats not even a joke legit happened)

Great headset, fantastic sound & audio, would definitely buy again

If you're looking for excellent headphones worth your buck then get these. Honestly surprise how good they are.

The Kingston HyperX Cloud Stinger impressed us last year with very strong performance and a solid design for a modest $50. The Cloud Alpha is the company's higher-end wired gaming headset. It's twice as expensive at $99.99, but features a nicer build, more powerful bass, and an improved, removable boom mic that makes it easier to use the headset as standard headphones when you're not gaming. It offers very good sound, though the Astro Gaming A10 has similar audio performance for just over half the price, making it our Editors' Choice. Design The Cloud Alpha is both sturdy and plush, with soft, well-padded faux leather over-ear earpads. The headset's frame is red anodized aluminum, which attaches to each earcup in a skeletal U-shaped strut that lets them pivot up and down. The frame is solid all the way from one earcup to the other, which means the headset can't fold down for easier storage. Red stitching on the headband and red HyperX logos on the back of each black plastic earcup...

Kingston's HyperX Cloud Alpha gaming headset couples good build quality with strong audio performance.

Comfortable, solid design; Good audio quality; Includes two cables and a carrying bag

Lacks high-end finesse

HyperX has been a victim of its own success. The brand burst onto the scene in 2014 with the HyperX Cloud, a sub-$100 headset that was not only as comfortable as its namesake, but sounded as good or better than most of its higher-priced competition.

HyperX has released a half-dozen headsets since 2014’s original and acclaimed Cloud design, but the Alpha is the first to match—and even surpass—its predecessor.

Fully removable cabling and smarter inline control placement; Comfortable; Excellent audio quality, for the price;

More expensive than the original Cloud, with fewer accessories; Upper audio range can be a bit muddled;
