HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 - Wireless Gaming Headset

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where to start? Battery life and comfort is top notch. I have replaced an other brands pair of premium gaming headset with these just because of the comfort and battery life alone. Range has been great, I have been able to use these across my house with no drop outs. Setup was super easy, plug and play especially with the base station. The Ngenuity desktop app was a bit finicky, however after playing around for a bit was good to go with tuning the settings in. Onto the sound, it is great can pinpoint enemy's with no issues, exceptionally clear. Only downside of the headset is the microphone quality is that's great and has been mentioned by a few other people when using it. Other than that an amazing headset worth the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless headset on my PS5 for a bit now, and I absolutely love it! It feels bery premium and durable and yet feels light on the head. I also noticed how comfortable it is thanks to the memory foam earpads. Another great benefit is that it includes an RGB base station that acts as your desktop control hub. The audio is incredibly crisp and punchy. So much so, that footsteps and directional cues come through clear as day when Im playing first person multiplayers. The microphone setup is equally impressive. It includes a detachable mic with an LED mute indicator. My mates in the party chat noticed the difference immediately, asking if I had a new headset because I sound so clear. What did I sound like before????? Lol I love the simultaneous dual connectivity feature (wireless and Bluetooth) meaning I can play games on console and take calls or listen to music on my phone, all from the comfort of 1 headset. And the battery life is ridiculous! If you just use wireless, You get up to 250 hours on a single charge, or up to 150 hours if you use dual connectivity, either way you rarely have to think about plugging it in. However, it's not completely flawless. If you have an Android phone and you want to dive into the settings and tweak the EQ profiles or play with the base station customisation, then youll be disappointed. The Android app refuses to recognise the headset, meaning you're locked out of any mobile app-based customisation features or firmware updates. It's a frustrating software flaw for an otherwise premium piece of kit. Thankfully, the default sound is good enough that you don't need to mess with the app to get a great experience on the PS5. If you can live with the broken app, the massive battery life, comfort and elite sound quality make it well worth the money. 9 out of 10 for me.
