Review on HyperX Cloud Alpha S - Ultimate PC Gaming Headset: 7.1 Surround Sound, Adjustable Bass, Dual Chamber Drivers & More in Blackout Design by Thomas Henry

Revainrating 4 out of 5

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 not enough to control it. Whose problem do you want to solve, Sony or HyperX? Regardless, while it's a great headset, it doesn't work well enough with PS4 as the product description claims.

Pros
  • Full set
Cons
  • Clarity
