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 Iori Yagami

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expectations were not met, average quality.

Its pros: Worthy of the mass, specifically the entire HyperX line has a fantastic design using black and red colors. He was the owner of Stingers now he took Alpha. The build quality is at its best, nothing presses, you can sit at least 10 hours. The sound quality is also very decent, much better than the Razer for the same price, the raisers have bass, that's for sure, but it's impossible to listen to music in them. In these same and music and films all with a bang. As for games, using a combo of an external sound card from Sound Blaster and Cloud Alpha headphones, I can almost immediately determine for sure where the enemy is stomping, what he is doing, how he is snoring / blowing his nose. In short, in terms of sound and assembly, the headphones are cool. Some cons: Why not 5 stars? Everything is very simple, I would put 5 stars for almost the entire line of HyperX headsets day and night, if not for one BUT! They use a common contact-minus for speakers and a microphone, because of this, almost ALL users duplicate system sounds directly to teammates, no matter whether it's Skype, discord or something else. This was done to please the consolers. For PC users, it remains to use the supplied splitter, due to which this problem appears. Who does not believe you can check the official group in FB, there are a lot of users in the topics complaining about this problem. And the answers are always the same, check the wire, check the config and other nonsense that does not help. What I just didn’t try, and different sampling rates, and different wires, I even stuck a microphone and headphones separately into DIFFERENT SOUND CARDS, and still the sound is doubled. But as soon as you use a separate microphone that comes with its own wire (and therefore a separate minus), everything is suddenly normal. And it was with me both in stingers and in alpha. Such problems for 10 thousand are generally not the norm. What about those who communicate in games? What should I do as a consumer in this case? Yes, you say that they say a warranty case, etc. Ok, but what should you buy then? Indeed, in terms of sound, design and build quality, there are clearly no competitors. Is it really so difficult to make two separate wires for the microphone and speakers ? Because of the consolers, now everyone should suffer . already bombing . just for that kind of money . and such a hack.
