What customers say about "Key Specs"
 
HyperX Cloud Alpha Gaming Headset - White/Purple - Limited Edition for PC, PS4 & Xbox One, Nintendo Switch
  • The cushioning is great on these headphones-- really comfortable and ergonomic.
  • I am a huge fan of this headset. It is very comfortable and doesn't get hot even after hours of gaming.
  • They are also super comfortable! They are padded with nice pleather, and the rubber coating the cords seemed like it would hold up very well to daily wear and tear.
  • The earcups and cushions felt good even after being around my ears (yes, they are over-ear) and didn't make my ears feel sweaty.
  • I cannot wear them for long periods of time without feeling extreme discomfort. After a while the drivers basically rub against your ears causing pain.

What customers say about "Headset"
 
HyperX Cloud Alpha Gaming Headset - White/Purple - Limited Edition for PC, PS4 & Xbox One, Nintendo Switch
  • I primarily used these in a racing game and was impressed by the depth and clarity of sound that came through. The sound stage felt omni-directional and the bass was GOOD.
  • Very crisp and clear sound and it is insulating enough that it partially blocks out noise from the outside.
  • The sound quality is great, gun shots and footsteps are crisp and clear, and the bass is strong without being overpowering.
  • The headphones are incredible crisp making it easier to hear things like foot steps, making it easier to know where other players are.
  • I absolutely love these things! They have a great sound quality, seriously, playing a racing game with these on makes you feel like you are actually at a racetrack.
