Review on Renewed HyperX Cloud Alpha Gaming Headset with Dual Chamber Drivers and Detachable Microphone for PC, PS4, PS4 PRO, Xbox One, and Xbox One S. by Jillian Sparks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Please read what is included. The microphone will not work out of the box without a third-party add-on.

Pros: Everything about this headset is absolutely amazing in terms of quality, it outperforms pants in the water at any Turtle Beach, and I LOVE that the ear frame is metal rather than cheap plastic , as I've broken almost all of my headsets at the point where the headband connects to the ear pad. Cons: This headset has a 3.5mm jack that does not support the use of a microphone. and nothing tells inexperienced users that they're buying an $80 headset that doesn't support using a microphone right out of the box. Although it comes with a microphone mount, your computer will not recognize a 3.5mm connector for it. You have to buy an attachment ranging from 3.5mm to a USB attachment and the boom works like a charm so I bought a HyperX deck attachment for an additional $20. I'm not thrilled, but once again you get the professional quality of the line and it feels like it's built to last, not to mention super comfortable!

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
  • Legacy model
