A good product at a good price, I advise you to try it.

The sound, even when connected to the DAC, is like from a barrel, booming, quiet, BUT they transmit human speech very well, for this money for listening to music they are simply CATEGORICALLY weak! As many famous streamers say,  gaming headsets are better than famous companies that are seriously engaged in the production of audio equipment, let's take the same professional players in the COP, they generally sit in drops, and full-sized ears are only for soundproofing, they are partly right, but not in everything, Further I will tell you why: On the pluses)). There are no universal things, I bought them for streaming, for games, and here they are revealed! ) No professional ears, unfortunately, give normal positioning (. OBS refuses to work with Capamia and conflicts with amps, etc. works with settings for streams, sets up OBS, has its own website, etc. , I won’t advertise it here. . So accurate that in PUBG you can distinguish where it came from up to 10 -15 degrees! ) (If someone does not know what positioning is, then this is when you hear what is happening around, from which side, as a clear definition by sounds in space, from which side steps, where something fell, let's say, on the right side, how life will be reflected in the right ear). In short, positioning top! Hi-fi headphones may show the musical stage, you can hear the flutist sniffing in the third row of the orchestra)), but the positioning in the games is zero, right there we see the opposite picture, you can hear what is happening JUST PERFECTLY! Another important aspect of streaming is the convenience of wearing, staying in headphones for more than 6 - 8 hours in a row! You can sit for 8 hours in a row, like a fluff on your head, the balance is perfect! ).

Pros

Hello, I express my graude to the HyperX support team who answered me yesterday at three in the morning, that's what round-the-clock support means)). Even a picture with annotation was thrown. In general, I’ll tell you what I had, I bought HyperX Cloud Alpha in the Giganti SPB store, because the price tag was lower than everywhere else, I came home to celebrate, connected it, and . . Digression, I'm not very sophisticated in sound, but I was born in an audiophile family and I'm very picky about sound, I listened to normal headphones. So the left earphone seems to be playing quieter than the right one, moreover, there is interference, the sound is very muffled . He let everyone around him listen, everyone also agreed, the sound is below average, the right earpiece plays louder, there are small noises in the left ear. I tried to connect it to the phone, to the DAC with a cl A amplifier for headphones, to the phone, etc. , I plugged all the plugs, etc. . It's useless . . I wrote about this support service at about three in the morning - Hong Kong time, lo and behold, they answered me in seventeen minutes and even threw off an annotated picture of how to properly plug in the plug, support service, once again bravo, on top. They wrote that if one earpiece plays louder than the other, then this is an obvious marriage. This morning I went to the light that was not close to me, again to the Giganti St. Petersburg store. Special thanks to the manager Yana, she said that some HyperX Cloud Alpha headphones had already been returned, they had been used for a month, that the young guy returned them, because they turned out to be too quiet for him, he stuck them into the sound system both in the computer and in the phone, nothing helped, quietly . . No problem, another box with ears was printed with her, the same ones, all three pairs listened)). And lo and behold, the ears that the guy ped after a month of use sound more even and louder than everyone! )). (He handed them over to the store, from there they were handed over to the guarantee, to our beloved company, the manufacturer of HyperX, they returned the ears after the examination, everything is fine with them) So, the third pair of headphones turned out to be similar in sound to mine, one to one) ).

Cons

And all this led me to one wonderful thought). Like any ears, these headphones love to be given a "Warm Up" on. The headphones that the guy had in use for a month sounded the loudest, it was not felt that the left speaker was playing louder. The new pair sounded virtually exactly the same as my old one. So if you bought ears and the sound is not a cake, booming, like from a barrel, quiet (even the store manager - Yana noticed that the sound is not a cake, very quiet, not intelligible), one ear is somehow louder than the other, don’t be scared, it feels like that this is their design feature, in a month they will play in a completely different way, more brightly, louder or something, etc. . . Now about the fact that the computer does not shake them, does not reveal them, “danced” as reviewers like to say)). I started streaming and took my ears to the games, a specialist for this. OBS does not want to see or conflicts with Tsapamsi, amplifiers for headphones, etc. , the headphones were needed by a specialist to connect to a computer without sound cards, DACs, etc. directly, my mother is the simplest Gigabit Z370 HD3. I’m not sophisticated in terms of sound, but I have an amplifier for hi-fi speakers that are on spikes on a computer table, a DAC from Danes with a cl A amplifier for headphones, capable of pumping at least 600 ohm, the technique is already hi-fi level, better than any audio card on the market Today, pictures are attached. So, when you turn on the Huawei Honor 9 phone (I apologize for writing everything in 2022), the sound quality and volume level are at a normal level, when you turn it on to the DAC, the ear amplifier is better, but there is no special wow effect. Maybe in a month the ears will warm up, I will supplement my review. So I don’t really see the point of embling an audio path for these ears so far. Now about the use, the sounds of impressions:
