    Great product, best quality.

    - Headphones are clearly not for music lovers and sound nerds) Headphones were made purely for gaming, this must be understood. But even for gaming headphones, I really liked the sound in them. They play better than my cloud2 (for example, sounds are heard more clearly and legibly when playing hard rock). - The regulator on the bowls, which has 3 positions, created to reduce or increase bass, I personally set to the middle position and forgot about it. - In terms of ease of use, everyone is…

    Pros
    • 1) Appearance (Stylish). 2) The color combination is more serious, pure black. (before that there was cloud 2 black and red) - it's not a shame to drive along the street in such). 3) USB remote control (aka an external sound card like HyperX Amp DAC 16 bit / 48 kHz) that plays better than my built-in on the MSI Z490-A PRO motherboard (Realtek ALC892/ALC897). 4) Detachable microphone and 3.5mm jack cable. 5) The ears are completely seated in the earcups of the headphones + the anatomy of the speakers on the cups themselves is made at an angle, which makes it more comfortable to spend time in them. 6) I liked the quality of the materials, the ear pads made of Zama leather are soft and pleasant to the touch, as well as the headband + metal cup holders. In general, an improved model of famous clouds2.
    Cons
    • 1) For these ears, which have an impedance of 65 ohms, compared to cloud2 60 ohms, the volume margin is less, therefore this USB sound card is a little lacking in volume. 2) The HyperX NGenuity program lacks a wider setting for the microphone, because the sound in the drain seems to me a bit small). 3) Headphones for someone do not work in the phone, without a connected microphone. I have my model, it works (with Samsung A70), apparently this bug has already been fixed. 4) There is no rubber plug (plug) for the microphone hole, if you disconnected it and do not use it. (it is in cloud2 and it does not fit alpha since the shape of the microphone is different) - this is a nightmare for perfectionists: D

    I am satisfied with everything, both price and quality, I advise you to buy.

    I took them for games (shooters). To be honest, I expected more, there was no WOW effect at all, rather disappointed. The sound in them is peculiar, someone calls it "like from a barrel." But as for me, it's just an ordinary non-bass sound, no more, no less. Positioning in games is normal, but I would put "4" thought it would be cooler. Why so many good reviews? In short, I don’t get pleasure from the sound in them at all, it’s just mediocre and somehow insipid, but for the sake of the sound I…

    Pros
    • 1) Materials and build quality 2) Comfortable
    Cons
    • 1) Microphone 2) 7.1 3) Soft 4) Price (feels like they are not worth the money)

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Everything about the product satisfied me, the price is perfect.

    I chose headphones for a very long time and rather painfully - I watched and reviewed reviews of the respected Rage on YouTube, compared models on Versus, read reviews (by the way, there were only HyperX Cloud Alpha on the Market for a long time, but there was no S model, thanks for adding). The main competitor was the Logitech Pro X Gaming, which are also quite good. For individual functions, perhaps even better. But on the whole I decided for myself that HXCAS is better. Didn't regret it. I…

    Pros
    • Excellent sound with the ability to physically adjust the bass. Build quality. Incredibly soft material on the ear pads and headband. Very comfortable fit. Sound card with the ability to switch the game mode. The ability to use through the jack, without a sound card. Removable microphone. All wired connections are on jacks, which allows you to replace the wires with any other. Separate voice chat volume control.
    Cons
    • Too easy to adjust, the fixation is very soft. This does not affect usability, but for perfectionists (five marks on the left earpiece, five on the right) it can become an annoying factor. There is no volume control on the headphone.

    The purchase brought only positive emotions.

    I haven't been using it for a long time, about a month. No complaints for a short period. I liked the fact that the wire is braided and removable, however, I consider it a minus the fact that the part of the wire with the 3.5 connector is too short to reach the system unit normally, for example, if it is under the table. Therefore, the connection through the usb adapter. There are no complaints about the sound quality, I use headphones to listen to music, games, phone calls at work (the…

    Pros
    • Design, materials, sound quality.
    Cons
    • Not revealed yet.

    Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

    I chose headphones for a very long time and painfully - I watched and reviewed a bunch of reviews and sat on different forums and eventually decided to take a chance and take these headphones. I did not lose, although there were small doubts. Many complained about the quiet sound and problems with the sound card, etc. I don’t know what kind of problems they had, but everything immediately worked fine for me without any problems. The sound is just bombing and the microphone works well, does not…

    Pros
    • Sound, build quality, ease of use.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

    I put the sound in the game when using the chat channel in the discord, I had to use one game channel for all sounds, for me this is not a minus I don't use 7.1 sound. I took to replace the old ss v2. very happy with the headphones

    Pros
    • Very comfortable ear pads, soft and very deep, very pleasant sound, powerful bass, as for a gaming headset. Detachable microphone, quality braided cables
    Cons
    • Quiet microphone, had to increase its volume through third-party software

    Revainrating 2 out of 5

    I did not find the advantages of the product, I do not recommend it.

    I accidentally broke my monitor headphones and decided to buy hyper x based on reviews and reviews. Headphones have just terrible sound with raised bottoms, high lower mids and a dip in high frequencies. I understood this at the time of purchase, but I decided to connect an external USB card to the USB at home and nothing has changed at all. Adjustments - the sliders remove the boom, but then the overpriced middle sags and with them the already low top. In games, all the sound is a mess, the…

    Pros
    • Assembly
    Cons
    • Sound Cable 3.5 jack USB card Microphone

    Revainrating 2 out of 5

    I did not like it, I do not advise buying.

    No matter how I tried to adjust the headphones, the sound in cs go is like in a barrel, the old Logitech for 4k sound is even better. Well, the microphone is so-so (although they talk about this in all reviews, I hoped the sound compensates for this shortcoming). If I use it to watch video and music, I can’t say anything bad or good, because I bought headphones for games. Of the pluses, I can only note the design, I really liked it, plus they sit very comfortably, the ears will definitely not…

    Pros
    • Beautiful design, comfortable fit, accessories
    Cons
    • Sound in games, microphone

    Revainrating 3 out of 5

    Not the best quality, but generally not bad.

    Frankly, I expected much more from the headphones. Still, they cost twice as much as Cloud Core. More than 100$! For the money, there are many great headphone models without a microphone. Yes, and there are relatively inexpensive Cloud Cores, unless they were also affected by cheaper production. And now I feel that I wasted my money and will continue to sit in the Cloud Core with low frequencies pressed through the equalizer.

    Pros
    • Less bass than Cloud Core. There was booze, as much as the ears were pawned. Plus there is a bass control that removes them completely. The design remains the same, which means strength and reliability should be at its best.
    Cons
    • The quality of materials is noticeably worse than that of the first Cloud. Instead of brushed and varnished metal, a rough painted one that feels like cheap plastic. I wouldn't be surprised if the paint starts peeling off soon. The ear pads are all made of the same cheap polyethylene, from which the ears sweat a lot. The sound got worse. And the problem is not in the bass control. HF is strongly clamped. Where you can hear cymbals in the background on the Cloud, here you can't hear them at all.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

    Compared with Cloud Stinger (seen in the photo). The stinger has better bass. The alpha has everything else, especially the big difference in weight and comfort of use, here the alpha is much better here. I did not try the built-in sound card, I immediately connected it via Creative G6. In stingers, music is like music (with good bass), in alpha, in some compositions it feels like you are in a movie theater. But the difference in sound is not two times, and those and those headphones are…

    Pros
    • Sound Ease of use Microphone
    Cons
    • Weak USB sound card included Weak bass

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

    The ZK that comes with the kit is in general norms, it performs its tasks, but if you connect headphones to a higher-level card, you get a completely different sound, you feel it well. And here the main problem of this headset emerges - if you have your own ZK, then you NEED TO PURCHASE AN EXTENSION CORD (or even a separate cable), since 1 m is very short. A good one is not so easy to find and it costs decently. In this regard, this model loses to the usual alpha (they are approximately equal…

    Pros
    • - universal sound (in addition to games, you can watch movies, listen to music) - nice live sound - microphone - no complaints. - performance quality - landing - on the head is not felt. - 65 ohm (probably good)
    Cons
    • - a short wire for connecting to a third-party sound card

    Terrible product, not satisfied with the purchase!

    If you connect an earphone through a 3.5mm jack, then the sound becomes good and the steps also become loud. And the question arises why then buy Hyperx alpha s? it’s better to buy a regular Hyperx alpha than Hyperx alpha s because the sound with the remote control is quiet, only the remote control distinguishes them and that’s it, I thought in alpha s the sound would be better than regular alphas but no reality turned out to be generally different alpha s turned out to be worse with the remote

    Pros
    • I just love the look and feel.
    Cons
    • 1. "Sound" with the remote control is too quiet, in PUBG and CS GO steps are practically inaudible 2. The hyperx ngenuity beta program does not have an equalizer setting in the program, you can only turn up the volume of the microphone and headphone, why do I need these functions that I have in the remote control and can be configured in Windows without entering the program. Compared to Logitech g pro x there in the program you can adjust everything and the microphone and the equalizer, but in Hyperx cloud alpha s there is nothing like that. 3. There is no adapter in the box, for headphones 10k. And Logitech always has an adapter in the box. 4. 7.1 sound is simply incomprehensible, I turned it on once in a year and then didn’t turn it on at all. The sound becomes too loud and the steps are not at all clear where it comes from.

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    No minuses as such, comfortable to use.

    In terms of sound, this is an excellent headset, it is not only for games, but also for listening to music is well suited. Perhaps the worst thing that is in this headset is the software, there is not even a basic equalizer functionality, the software is useless. There is also no microphone gain in the software, although the microphone is very quiet. Please ru office HyperX, knock on the head office, let them add at least basic functionality to the software. Why do other manufacturers have it…

    Pros
    • Sound, positioning in 2.0 mode, comfortable fit, modular cable.
    Cons
    • A complete sound card, soft touch on the bowls, a microphone and the most important software!

    Everything about the purchase suits me, a very necessary product.

    I didn’t have enough USB card (well, and the Realtek plug-in, all the more), so I bought an external SB Omni card for the headphones - because of the combination of a headphone amplifier and a microphone. The quality of the microphone is much better on it, the headphones themselves are much louder. In general, I am satisfied with the headphones - for games it is very good (positioning, sounds, voice), for music (well, they are not for her) it is still very good. It's a pity there is no option…

    Pros
    • Quality build Good sound for music Great sound for games Nice materials Complete set (additional ear pads and usb card) Quality wires, should withstand a lot Switchable wire and microphone Very soft headband and ear pads
    Cons
    • The price is high No adapter from 4pin to 2x3.5 Without a normal sound card (even on the bundled usb), lack of volume and quiet operation of the microphone

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

    In general, I am satisfied with the headphones, taking into account the fact that I changed my native microphone at the first opportunity Pros below: Excellent build quality; the headphones almost do not hear the environment, which is certainly a big plus Different cons: The microphone is incredibly quiet and is quite problematic to use without additional software; switched from Razer Kraken headphones and for the first 2 weeks it was difficult to get used to the sound (but everything is…

    The purchase brought only positive emotions.

    I have been using them for half a year already, the rest of the headphones broke after six months, I do not recommend asus headphones. Has some pros: Do not break durable Comfortable 7.1 virtual Convenient to store Its cons: Inside the ears, the skin begins to peel over time, discomfort is not felt

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    I definitely recommend buying, I didn't notice any disadvantages.

    I took the Razer kraken pro v2 as a replacement and did not regret it at all. The price is reasonable, the sound is excellent, but it took 3 days to get used to it, the case is metal and very comfortable. Has some pros: Sound quality Price Setting Long cable (maybe for someone this is a minus, but I like it) Cons: The microphone is not very good (similar in sound to support phones), but this is understandable because the main advantage is the sound

    Revainrating 2 out of 5

    An unattractive product, an unprofitable purchase.

    In general, I expected more from headphones for 8k, they already know how to screw a normal microphone in headphones for 1k, but here some kind of hack. Pros below: 7.1 sound is pleasantly surprising in games, although I had never heard how it sounds before. Its cons: 1. I could not get used to the dimensions - the head gets tired after a while, but maybe this is subjective. 2. The microphone is of terrible quality, before that there were headphones for 1k - there the microphone is a hundred…
