Good product for me, I was satisfied with the price.

Good for gaming, not great for music. At a price of 6-7k, a normal solution, they don’t cost more. Hyperx is better to sell these headphones without a sound card, but with a normal wire and a splitter, since the bundled sound card is much worse than even those built into motherboards.

Pros
  • 1. Comfortable 2. Beautiful 3. Normal sound for games, with good positioning (if you have a good sound card.
Cons
  • 1. The most flawed sound card, which is better not to connect at all. 2. Lack of a splitter cable for a separate sound card. 3. Poor fixation of the position of the bow to the speakers, easily moves out. 4. Changing the ear pads on this model is still mazahizm. The second ear pads that are included are the maximum rubbish. 5. Not particularly suitable for music, even with a sound card, the instruments are "lubricated"

Terrible purchase, only wasted money.

I'm just furious! do not buy these headphones! instead of this took logitech the same crap! If you want real surround sound, get a raiser! Some pros: Of the advantages, except that the appearance and sit comfortably on the head Different cons: The sound is just terrible. It's not like 7.1, there's not even stereo, just mono sound. There are no basses from the word at all, you won’t even find them here to get. Before that, there were kraken raisers, that's 7.1, compared to these headphones…

Best I have ever used, great product for anyone!

Awesome headset. For 2 years of active use, there were no defects, there were no problems. I sat in them for days on end, but there was no discomfort. The view of the Nauniks is recognizable and will not leave without attention) Got pros: Great sound Good 7.1 sound Anotomichesko-correct location of the speakers. Ears don't touch speakers Comfort Reliability of the design (bought in 2022, still serve faithfully Cons: Weak microphone A rather short cable, but this is compensated by a sound card…

I'm satisfied, the product is exactly as described.

With its pros: Insanely comfortable, you do not notice their presence on the head Its cons: There are many problems with this '7.1', I don't know, I practically don't feel it anywhere, the current in Tarkov helps, otherwise, for the sake of sound, it's not worth buying

A useless product, it's not worth the money.

Not worth the money given the experience they have gained. As a result, only half with the remote control is used as an extension cable for regular plugs.

Pros
  • The sound is normal, normal, nothing outstanding.
Cons
  • 1) They put pressure on the head, there is no way to adjust it 2) Terrible microphone, it is almost inaudible in any applications except the factory Hyperx. For professionals in all fields who do not and never have these headphones. Micro has been tested in literally all popular applications that use sound. At the same time, the test was carried out both using a sound card from the ears themselves (which is on the control panel), and simply sticking a 3.5 micro stick connector into the computer board. The result is the same - you can not hear. 3) The control panel (the one with the buttons on the cord) Mega inconvenient. It is almost impossible to conveniently position / fix it on the table. A big part of this is the horribly hard wire that always twists and knocks the controller off the table.

Money down the drain, poor quality product.

There are pros, but thecomns outweigh thecomns. Extremely hyped model, which is not true. What did you like. Made with high quality, they sit just fine, the ears do not get tired, everything is at the highest level. Lightweight, does not get tired. What did not like and why 2 stars. I took headphones for both games and music, I watched a lot of reviews. And the problem with the most important thing, with the sound. I myself am the owner of a powerful external sound card, Sound Blaster x7…

Pros
  • Appearance, comfort, solid construction.
Cons
  • Terrible sound, short wire, no splitter.

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

I did not use the complete sound card, because. there is a creative ae-5. Unfortunately, when you turn off the complete sound card, you can adjust the volume only through the PC, at first it was not convenient, now I'm used to it. But in general, the headset is topchik) Got pros: Sound, wearing comfort, quality of materials, no sound card. Cons: Without connecting a complete sound card, there is no volume control on the headset, very sad.

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

If you're deciding if the Alpha S is worth spending ~10k on, my answer is probably yes, they're worth it. Especially if you have a normal sound card. I have a zvukovuha, and I can responsibly declare that they sound much better with a sound card than with a complete one. You can of course use the complete one, the headphones will also sound good. However, not bad is not good. You need to understand that if you like to tweak the equalizer, as I do, adjust the sound to suit you, make…

Pros
  • The sound is in leather ear cushions (there is noticeably less bass in fabric), assembly, they are very comfortable, they don’t pinch anywhere, you can sit in them for at least a day and a half.
Cons
  • Microphone, mediocre software, ear cushions change (it's just hell)

I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

I do not regret that I bought it, but it's a real shame that I have to buy other ears, since the sound card and headphones are not compatible. With its pros. Insanely comfortable headphones, the quality of the materials is at their best, the sound both in games and listening to music is very good. I don't want to change them. Has some cons Indeed, a short wire + useless USB audio. But it can't even be replaced. I bought a sound card specifically for headphones and a microphone for 14k, and as a

Overall great headset but not so positive experience on PS4

This headset has many advantages, especially at this price point - decent sounding headphones, detachable cable and mic, solid build quality and extremely comfortable even with my very large head. However, I was disappointed when it was used with the PS4, although it sounded good on the PC. When I connected it to my PS4 controller, I was treated to overly quiet headphones. After a little research, I found out that the resistance of this headset is 65ohm and the power of the PS4 controller is…

Pros
  • Full set
Cons
  • Clarity

Found! After numerous purchases and trials (bought and returned) I finally found the headphones I like. I've researched and bought almost every pair imaginable. Please note that I use this headset with the Astro Amp. I used it directly with my Xbox One controller and it works great, but I had an amp so it boosted the sound a lot. Sound quality is excellent, clean, good bass (not overwhelming), high and low frequency detail is excellent. I hear directional noises from front, back, left and right

Pros
  • Video Games
Cons
  • Not Sure

These were my first pair of HyperX headphones, overall very good with one major flaw that makes me not recommend them. I've only tried it with a PC and not a microphone, so I won't comment on that. Let's start with the good. The packaging is really nice, as are the materials that make up the headset. Everything feels nice and solid without being too heavy. Compared to the previous pair of fully closed earbuds, the HyperX Cloud Alpha Pro's sound is noticeably different (in a good way). It feels…

Pros
  • Accessories
Cons
  • Expensive

My detailed test of the best headsets

Hello everyone! Since using this headset, I've noticed a few things that I think HyperX are doing right and wrong with the release of the Alpha S. I will divide this review into 5 parts. Those parts are durability, comfort, value, sound quality, pros and cons. Durability - 4 stars. First off, I have to say that if you're like me, you've put a lot of effort into finding out what headphones are available on Amazon. the best value for money in performance and quality. In terms of durability, I've…
