HyperX Cloud Alpha S Wired Headphones On Ear with Mic (Black)

First of all, I'd say you should be smart enough to use tech. No offence, but it is how it is, one should really know how to use it.Now, the point is, this headphones has a 65ohm impedance so it needs more amps to power it, so when you use it for your PS4 controller in bluetooth mode (Not usb mode), the ps4 controller focuses on max battery life so, it's not gonna give out more amps to power it, that's what causes the low volume issue . and please note this is when you just connect the headphones to the controller, not to the usb port on the ps4 console.IF you connect it through the given usb card with the usb port available on the ps4, there's no low sound issue. as simple as that. It works really good with my MAC too.Now talking about the sound quality and overall headphone quality.Pros :1.) Really soft premium cushions, large speaker width fits my ears in it really well.2.) The sound quality, the dual chambers sound quality is really worth it, all the mids and highs and lows are well distinguished.3.) There are even bass adjusting air nobs in each side of the speakers.4.) if you game on pc you can control the discord chat and game sounds, like you can either sometimes increase the discord chat volume or if you want to focus on the game sound increase the game volume using the controls on the usb card. its usefull for multiplayer fps games.Cons :I don't think i found any cons with this headphones, I'm not overselling too here, but you have to understand there's no perfect headphones, even the high end sony or bose earphones have some issues on the long run. But I'm just satisfied with everything so far, its feels premium to hold because of the aluminium frame.Its an overall best headset for gaming and surprisingly for music and movies at this price range.

The media could not be loaded. I recently bought a HyperX Cloud Alpha S less than 6 months ago. One of the screws on the right plastic bracket holding the headphone together is loose. I think the threading is stripped. If you hold the headset with the Right ear cup's "R" symbol facing you which has Kingston Trademark above it facing you, the right screw is very loose. This has resulted in the right part of the headset being loose and shaky and it sometimes slips and requires constant adjusting. I have recorded a video showcasing the problem along with the troubleshooting steps I have tried. I could send you that video if required. I tried tightening all the screws using a flat head screw drivers. All the other screws (the one on the right ear cup and both on the left) screw in perfectly and tightly. The one screw can't be tightened no matter what and keeps spinning. When it first came I though that the loose feeling was just the way the headset was supposed to feel. However, it got worse over time and after seeing a reddit post where someone had a similar problem.The plastic housing does not seem to be functioning and I have tried to screw the screws in tighter with a screwdriver. However, it became so loosethat the housing back panel popped off. I can't rescrew the panel in as both of the screws just keep spinning and don't seem to tighten at all.The screw hole seems to have some defect as all the other three screws tighten perfectly. It is just this one that does not seem to tighten completely and just keeps spinning around.I wrote to Kingston Technology India as per the support page, but they emphatically stated that, "they have never received complaints regarding their headsets" and thus cannot help me. However, my headset came with this defect and it is yet under its 2 year warranty.

I been using them till now 2025 and quality of sound and product is so awesome

its ok , just bought for the mic, otherwise sound wise it pales in comparison to even samson sr 950. So, if sound quality is your absolute priority and you dont mind cable tangles, get a samson sr950 and get a wired mic attached to it like a sennheiser lav mic

Pros:1. Braided and sufficiently long cable2. Detachable Mic3. Can be used with smartphone (no proprietary ports) using standard 3.5mm jack.4. Surround sound is great in the games that support it.5. Build Quality is amazing. Absolutely no complaints here.6. Comfort is top notch. No issues even after 8 hour long gaming sessions.7. Black colour is lit.8. Bass Sliders do come in handy.Cons:1. Implementation of HyperX NGenuinity Software is average at best. It's still in beta so progress is expected here.2. Mic quality although good, could have been better. The letter frequencies seem lacking in the sound pickup. Still would get the job done for voice chat/interviews. Won't use it for streaming though3. Wires peeking out from headband to the earcups may be obstructing in some cases.

I've had this buzzing/static sound issue, I get a buzzing/static sound which occurs after a little while of use whilst gaming. If I unplug and replug the usb it disappears for a while before coming back. This happened on a few different Alpha S headsets as I thought it was a hardware issue at first and got it swapped out a couple times.DON'T BUY THIS it was my stupid motherboard bios issue 😔 now headphones working fine

Perfect headset for gaming. Extremely comfortable for long gaming sessions. The BASS sliders work surprisingly well. It wont have ear shattering BASS when fully opened but all 3 levels are pretty well tuned. The 7.1 surround sound in this headset is not a gimmic and it actually works. In rainbow six siege you can even clearly hear twitch drones , footsteps clearly and the positioning is very accurate. Even while listening to music this headset does a fantastic job. It cuts out most of the ambient noise. The extra cloth earcups which are included also have a pleather layer on the inside to prevent any possible sound leaks. If you are looking for a gaming headset look no further. Hyperx is known for making one of the best gaming headsets in the market and this one is no different.
