Review on HyperX Cloud Alpha S - The Ultimate PC Gaming Headset with 🎧 7.1 Surround Sound, Adjustable Bass, Dual Chamber Drivers, and Memory Foam in Blue. by Putri Cantika ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I am dissatisfied with the product, there are no positive qualities.

The headset's built-in speakers and microphone are its single saving grace. It is exceedingly challenging to replace the ear pads because, even in the manufacturer's video about doing so, they bring new ones to the headphones and, in the following frame, they have already been glued in place. It's already quite tough to take it off, take it off again, and then put it back on. The coating on the ear cushions began to tear and rupture at the seams where it was glued after five to six months. If the fit is too tight, you will need to rot the imbedded piece of iron in the headband because there is no method to modify how snug the fit is. Despite this, the headset's design has a very high level of overall quality and dependability. The mixer is just terrible in every manner, starting with the terrible location it is in and ending with the fact that it operates out of control, and 7.1 is just a toy for a few days at best. It is too close to be put on a table at a distance and neatly gets in the way under the hands that are lying on the table, and even upside down, because it is too far away from the headphones themselves on the cable to be able to merely hang out and be convenient for access. e. When switching to 7.1, the volume settings have a tendency to randomly fluctuate, the channels can swap positions with one another or even disappear entirely, and the switch itself becomes inoperable, meaning that neither 7.1 nor standard can be selected. With its location, in 99% of cases, it is upside down when you take it in your hand ("+" from below, "-" from above); It is located too far on the wire. It is impossible to quickly change the volume, and it only registers presses once every 1.5–2 seconds. If you press it more frequently, your ears will be filled with an unpleasant beeping sound. The sound can completely disappear or the device might cease responding to the modification. The only thing on the mixer that usually works is to muffle the microphone. The mouse and keyboard stopped working, which could interfere with other USB devices attached to the same set of USB ports (it was necessary to replace the rodent, after the new one was plugged into the adjacent port - it simply did not work, during experiments the same thing happened with the keyboard, it was necessary to spread it out). As a result, you are compelled to accept the default settings and stop interacting with the monster. I do not advise buying this model because of the mixer because it is simply not remembered and it is not worth spending extra money to fix this flaw.

Pros
  • Great audio with adjustable bass. Fantastic microphone.
Cons
  • dreadful mixer (both in design and functionality). poorly made ear cushions.
