Attention Discord users

While the sound quality of these headphones is great (especially for the price), they have a big problem with people using voice chat. Whenever I'm playing a game and I'm on Discord with my friends, they can hear most of my game's sound. This is due to the way Kingston makes Cloud Alpha. You're probably using a 4-pin connector, which means your speaker wire and mic wire are touching the ground wire in the wire, which in turn causes your headphone audio to show up as the mic input for your computer. So unless you want to mess around with the microphone sensitivity in the voice chat app's settings (which doesn't fix the problem, but does reduce it to some extent) I wouldn't recommend buying this headset and would probably avoid all wired headsets. by Hyper X because that's how they're all made. I contacted Hyper X and they said there was a bad wire in the headset so I sent them and they sent me a new pair. The new pair had the same problem, so I found out why from Tom's Hardware Guide. Don't buy Hyper X, go with a company that really knows how to make headsets for gamers.
