About the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless
The Cloud Alpha Wireless is the headset you charge once a month. HyperX rates the battery at up to 300 hours at 50% volume, so a week of evening sessions barely moves the gauge. The 50 mm dual chamber drivers separate the bass from the mids and highs, which keeps voices and footsteps clear in busy games, and DTS Headphone:X spatial audio is included.
It keeps the classic Cloud comfort: memory foam, leatherette cushions and a durable aluminium frame, for 322 g in total. The detachable noise-cancelling mic has an LED mute indicator, and the volume, mute and mic monitoring controls sit on the ear cups. The 2.4 GHz USB-A dongle reaches up to 20 m. It is listed for PC only, with no Bluetooth.
