I bought this around 2 months ago and its already broken. The sound quality is bad.

I purchased this headset for communications purposes rather than gaming. This was done after a study of specifications and ability to perform well over the voice range. I am more than satisfied with my purchase. Purchase on-line was very easy and delivery of product was very fast. Top marks PBTECH.

Kingston may have channeled their inner Frank Sinatra when they made the HyperX Cloud Revolver, as the result leaves them singing with confidence, "I did it my way!"

Honestly the only thing I can complain is the fact that I would have liked a little bit more base but other than that, they are great for gaming and music lovers like myself

The Kingston HyperX Cloud Alpha is a very good wired gaming headset. It doesn't do anything fancy, but its excellent build quality and strong audio performance make it a compelling purchase.

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

Lacks high-end finesse

They are re-branded Takstar Pro's with a mic attachment. Very good pair of headphones for the price, readily available and frequently on sale even here in Canada.

Good Value; Comfortable; Great Bass; Good Cables; Many attachments; Good Build Quality

Mids feel weak at low volume

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

It's better than any other headset I've tried at the same price, however, the Cloud II wins out in every field. With the Cloud II's improved sound, comfort and microphone quality, I would strongly suggest spending the extra $20 - $30 or so in investing in the upgraded edition.

The feel; Comfort in the long-run; Easy to clean

Despite my initial impressions, I have to admit that I've really enjoyed my time with the Kingston HyperX Gaming Headset. They are incredibly comfortable and help immerse you when gaming and close out the outside world (apologies to the wife and kids)…
