Recently we seen a couple of Kingston's gaming products premieres. One of them is the HyperX Cloud headset. The naming maybe simple but you can be sure it is not just another standard gaming headset. Online multiplayer

The $100 HyperX Cloud Alpha Pro Gaming Headset is likely going to represent a great value to many gamers. I however move around my office a lot, and the fact that is a corded headset is a deal-breaker for me.

In designing the HyperX Cloud , Kingston turned to Qpad, a major Sweden based peripheral brand to assist in the development. The result, the HyperX Cloud is a re-branded Qpad QH-90.

Kingston made things extremely difficult with the introduction of the Cloud in 2014. This headset is still a benchmark in its class, and in terms of construction quality, wearing comfort and music reproduction it still beats significantly more expensive competitors.

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.
