HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless - Gaming Headset for PC, 300-hour battery life, DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, Memory foam, Dual Chamber Drivers, Noise-canceling mic, Durable aluminum frame,Red

This is the headphones you want. Okay, that's kind of a subjective statement, everyone has their own opinions, but they are the headphones for me. I hope them never discontinue them (because I assume they'll eventually wear out). So everyone said the battery lasts forever, that's true. I've had them for 7 months now, I wear them all day at work and I think I've only charged them 3 times (I usually wait for it to get to 30 or 40 percent before charging them). The audio is good and they are plenty loud. I think if you are an audiophile or something you might not care for the audio, but for me as a gamer I think they are fine.The one complaint I have about them is the mic is not fancy or anything, it doesn't extend or fold up all nicely you just curl it up to get it out of your face. The mic also plugs into the headset with a standard audio jack and one time it got knocked lose (not sure how, it fits in nice and snug) and I wasn't broadcasting and I thought it was broken and was super upset, but once I realized I just needed to shove the mic back into the socket everything was find after that, so watch out for that in case you think it's broken.That said, no real complaints. Fairly comfortable, they seem very reliable, they are simple enough that I don't think there are many points of failure so I expect them to last 4-5 years easy (but we'll see). Price is kind of high for a simple headset, so it might be out of reach for some, but I think they are quality and if you are going to take a chance on a mid range headset this is a good choice.

UPDATE: I’ve had these headphones for about 3 months now, and would like to clarify a few things. I initially thought this microphone was an improvement over the wired version, however, I can now confidently say that this microphone is slightly worse. It’s not amazing, and it’s a bit more static-y than the wired version’s mic. It’s definitely not bad, though, and I have heard so so much worse. Also, after using these headphones for (on average) a few hours every day at 60% volume, the battery life has definitely held up. I end up charging them once they get to about 30% or lower, which usually takes 2-3 weeks. I’d say that’s pretty damn good.Before this headset, I was using a HyperX Cloud II Wired, but I decided I wanted to go wireless, but definitely stay in the HyperX family. All I can say is this headset is a very worthwhile upgrade over the Cloud II, or even if you're not upgrading from anything. It is without a doubt the best headset I have ever owned and I definitely won't be changing headsets any time soon.Comfort:I initially fell in love with the way the Cloud II fit on my head, and this headset only improves upon that. I never considered the Cloud II uncomfortable even after 10+ hours of consecutive use, yet the Cloud Alpha somehow improved upon it. It has a much softer headband and the included ear cups are probably the best I've ever used on a headset. I even tried to upgrade to some Wicked Cushions (which are available on amazon and they have great reviews) but they were honestly a downgrade, they were stiffer and more angular, which lead to a less comfortable experience. Add to that the fact that this headset is fairly light (i didn't weigh it but it definitely isn't heavy.Sound Quality:I'm no audiophile, and these definitely aren't studio-level headphones, but I'd say the sound quality is quite good. You're going to experience the typical gaming headset sound profile of slightly exaggerated bass, but that should be expected as that is typically favorable in games, and also sounds pretty good when listening to music (depending on what you listen to, of course.) I'd say the audio quality is about as good as the wired Cloud II, if a little better, and that's to say, quite good for a gaming headset.Microphone:The microphone is also a slight improvement over the Cloud II, which was already great in my opinion, though this may vary unit to unit because some people complain about poor microphone quality. Also, there is a red LED mic mute indicator which is always welcome and a nice improvement over the Cloud II. Additionally, within the HyperX NGENUITY software there is an option to enable "Mic Monitoring" which basically allows you to hear yourself when you talk (there is practically zero noticeable delay). This likely drains battery life but I will definitely be keeping it on because I love it as a feature and haven't had a single headset that actually has this feature since I had a pair of Turtle Beach Recon 50's many years ago. Not everyone will like this feature but I am personally a big fan.Battery Life:The advertised "300 hour" battery life may or may not be true, I wouldn't know considering I haven't needed to charge the headset since I got it. In all seriousness, it is very good, and there is a battery percentage readout in the HyperX NGENUITY software that also says the hours of charge left. I haven't timed it but I'd wager the actual battery life (depending on what audio level you use, if you use spatial audio, etc.) is around 200-250 hours which is incredible.Build Quality:There's not much to say here, the build quality is pretty good. It's a mix of a soft-touch plastic and metal (probably aluminum) and feels pretty nice.Overall, I would highly recommend this headset if you're in the market for a nice wireless gaming headset.

I don't usually write reviews, but I have been blown away by the quality of this headset, especially at this price point.- They are comfortable on my head and ears for prolonged gaming sessions, even with glasses.- The sound quality is excellent. The microphone sound is also good, and the detachable mic is a super nice feature.- The range is enough to get to just about anywhere in my house, and I have had 0 issues with connectivity anywhere within a ~20 foot radius of the wireless dongle.- The *battery life*! Holy shit, the battery life on these is incredible. I charge them maybe once every 1.5 months, and I use them for extended periods every day. I honestly don't understand how they've managed to squeeze this much battery life into these things.- The controls are intuitive and easy to use. The mute button triggers a subtle red light on the end of the microphone so you always know if you're muted, which is a very nice feature.- They hold up! I've had this headset for over a year now with no issues, and it is still going strong.I cannot recommend this headset enough. I've been telling everyone who will listen to pick them up for themselves.
