HyperX Cloud Alpha Gaming Headset - Dual Chamber Drivers - Durable Aluminum Frame - Detachable Microphone - Works with PC, PS4, PS4 PRO, Xbox One, Xbox One S (HX-HSCA-RD/AM) (Renewed)

My friend just gave me this headset and I am thrilled with it. The headset I received did not smell foul at all. When I read reviews that said they had a foul odor, I was a little skeptical. As if they were brand new, their smell was that of a new car. It looked like they were brand new as well. The headset didn't come in the original box, but everything that should be in it was all there, packaged nicely, and it came in the box that it came in. The first thing I did was plug them into my phone and listen In terms of sound quality, it is pretty good for music! Nothing spectacular or mind-blowing, but then again Moving on to gaming performance, let's have a look. I am amazed. The sound of these is great while playing Modern Warfare on the Xbox One. There was no problem in locating my enemies, the sound of game noise was clear and distinct, the bass was present but not overpowering, and gunfire sounded fantastic. There was an immediate difference in mic quality between my buddies and I. My previous smartphone was a Turtle Beach Stealth 600. I didn't care for the sound quality at all, and the mic was a complete failure. Normally, my team members could never hear me very well while speaking, so I would have to yell into the mic if I wanted to be heard. But with the Alphas, my teammates heard me clearly every time. They never had to ask me "what?". Since I am playing on the Xbox One, I cannot purchase and use the Dolby 7. Unfortunately, I cannot get it for free, but if I did it would cost a third of what it costs to buy and use Dolby 7. The only surround sound adapter you can buy for these is a wireless one. But I found a way of using mine. In order to get virtual surround sound out of these headphones, all I had to do was purchase the Dolby Atmos sound for $15 and enable them in the Xbox settings for headphones. The cloud-like feel of these simply makes you feel like you are sitting on top of a cloud. It is extremely comfortable and made of leatherette with extremely soft ear cushions. A good amount of soft padding covers the top of the head band so that it sits comfortably. In truth, I barely notice that these are even on my As for comfort, the only problem some people may have with these is that the earpads are made out of fake leather, so your ears possibly get a bit warm after playing for too long.
But otherwise, I'd say these headphones are pretty good. As I was looking at the Cloud 2, the Sennheiser GSP 300, and the Steelseries Arctis 5 headphones, I came across the SteelSeries Cloud 2. My decision to go with the Alphas over the other ones was one I am very happy with, and I will continue to use.

In a nutshell, As a result of the negative reviews, I was extremely skeptical about buying these. I'm just stunned! It's great to have these things! The device exhibited no signs of wear and tear. To see my complete unboxing video, please watch my video review.

The pros are The quality of this headset is absolutely exceptional, it beats anything from Turtle Beach out of the water, and I liked that the ear pads are metal instead of some cheap plastic, as I have snapped most of my headphones at that joint where the headband meets the ear pad. The drawbacks are A 3 megapixel camera is included with this headset. There is only a 5. 8 mm jack that cannot be used with a microphone. Users are not told that they are purchasing a headset for 80 dollars that right out of the box does not have a mic. Even though it comes with the mic attachment, your PC will not take advantage of it. For it, 5 millimeters of port are needed. It is necessary to buy an attachment that connects to either 3 or 4. This 5mill to USB attachment and boom works like a charm, so i purchased the HyperX soundboard attachment for an additional 20 dollars. The pro will get you again, which isn't too happy but you'll get it again. Très bien constructed, it feels like it will last for a long time, plus it's super comfortable!.

This headset was purchased for my 13 year old son, who enjoyed its comfort, sound quality, and noise-canceling capabilities. Initially, everything was fine, but after just a couple of weeks of using the headsets daily for a few hours a day, the connection began to fail. There was crackling and fading in and out of the mic. Despite his best efforts, he treated the headset with kitten gloves in order to make it I am disappointed.

They're some of the best headphones I've ever owned. The fact that they work with all his gaming systems is a big plus for my son. These chairs get a significant amount of abuse, being sat on, getting tossed, being stepped on, etc, and still look and work great.

It's probably a great product, however the one I got did not meet my expectations. I smell a very strange and strong smell from the As soon as I wear it, it is overpowering. Wires and boxes were crushed and torn in the box. I could not get it off the ear cups as they were worn and apparently had skin or white flakes on them. This product seems solidly constructed, I bet it's a great product, but in this case it appears to be a mistake to buy it in refurbished condition. I actually had a really poor experience for the money that I spent.

I read some comments about parts missing and a foul smell, but these are totally fine. Looked around and couldn't even find Take a look at getting these renewed if you are considering it. Although they aren't great, they have a 90 day money back guarantee, so you may return them if they're not what you expected.
