I used the HyperX Cloud II wired headset for about seven years until the clip on the wired dongle finally broke off. Not wanting to put a lot of effort into doing research on all the headsets out there, I went with this headset since it looked like the same headset that I had been very happy with, but wireless. First I noticed that the packaging on this headset is very cheap. My old headset came in very nice packaging, as well as an extra set of ear muffs to swap out (cloth vs. vinyl). This headset comes in a cheap plastic blister package inside the main package and you don't get extra ear muffs. These will wear out with heavy use within 4-5 years and the vinyl will start to flake off (about the time I swapped to the cloth ear muffs on my wired headset). So, that was an immediate disappointment. Compared to my wired HyperX Cloud headset, the sound quality is about the same. There is no button for fake "surround sound" like on my wired headset, and that's fine, because I never intentionally used that setting since it's terrible. The mute mic button sticks out on the left side of the headset, rather than the dongle switch of the wired version. If you have your mic plugged in, there is a red ring that illuminates when you have it muted, but it's really hard to see depending on where you adjust the mic. But it's good that it's there. This headset uses USB-C to charge. Only a cable, no power adapter, FYI. I have not tried to plug the connector into my PC to use the headset while it charges. The headset side is USB-C and the PC side is USB-A. In a house or apartment under 2000 sq. ft., you will get good signal strength. Occasional audio hitching/glitching when you're across the property, but that's to be expected at maximum distance. But if you're in Discord or game chat and have to walk across your house (or apartment), under 2000 sq. ft. it works quite well. The only problem I've had is audio glitching out during gaming. But then I realized I had plugged the USB dongle in the USB port next to the controller dongle of the controller I was using to game with, as that was the port my wired headset was in and I didn't really think about it. So, don't do that. For any other wireless devices you're using with a USB dongle, do not use them simultaneously or do not plug them into neighboring ports. I've had no audio glitches since moving the dongle two ports over. I gave this headset a 4/5 for "noise cancelling" not because this headset actually has noise cancelling technology, but because the ear muffs are thick and block noise naturally because of that. If you have roommates/family having conversation in the next room over you won't really hear them much. A long-winded review, but overall for the price and considering I'd been happy with my previous HyperX Cloud product, it's worth the money. This headset is what I expected and given the build quality I'd expect that in 5 years the vinyl on the headband and ear muffs will deteriorate after 5-6 years of constant use, but the sound and mic will still be rock solid.

While these aren't perfect, I'm giving 5* because I can't find a better value. I used to LOVE the SteelSeries Arctis 7 wireless line until they betrayed their user base with the + line. I am so happy I found HyperX Clouds because they are an amazing replacement. The Arctis + series cheaped out and added software based controls which were super laggy, froze all the time, needed a constant reset (done w/ an ejector needle under the earpad), and the HyperX Cloud sounds just as good with none of these issues! The headset batteries last a week or more before needing charging. Charge them when in the shower, sleeping, out of the house, and they just never die. They do also annoy you about low battery so you don't forget to charge before it's too late. Very comfortable to wear. The adjustability wears out after about 3-years (and slips), but they're such a good value I'd buy again (and I did after 3-years). One suggestion is to disable the horrendous Windows settings for Spatial Sound. They are garbage. You can mess with the HyperX software and see if you like the dtsx spatial sound but I have it disabled personally. One downside is that it does require software for full functionality, but the software is super lightweight. The range is also great. It has a USB dongle for connection. I can go into other rooms and it works perfectly fine. Also charging is USB-C, so that's a nice bonus. Overall I'm super happy with the quality. My only complaint is that HyperX intentionally does not sell replacement parts because they want you to e-waste the product when a single hinge breaks (and they will). Parts wear after 2-4 years based on how lucky you are. I did contact HyperX support and they refused to sell me parts out of warranty. I did see some sellers 3D printing the parts but didn't want to spend $10-20/part and risk it becoming a whole project. Still, this is an amazing headset for the cost so I'd still give it five stars. Also I do recommend WC Freeze earpads, as the stock earpads aren't bad but are a bit small imo. If you have small ears, you'll be fine. If American sized, it'll be fine (maybe annoying for some), but if large ears, you'll hate it. WC Freeze earpads are much roomier and fix that issue, though add the expense in your consideration. I also find the WC Freeze earpads more comfortable, cooler in the winter, etc, but if I recall they're like $30, so they aren't cheap.

(TL;DR at bottom) -----------------------------------background-------------------------------------- ***I've used this headset for 4 months now at the time of this initial post*** For comparison: -I've tried many headsets from razer and turtle beach -Last headset was: Razer BlackShark V2 Pro What I wanted in a headset: -Good sound quality -Durable -Wireless -Comfort for long duration -Extensive battery per charge (main focus) -Isn't overly priced I work as a developer and use it to listen to music for the greater part of my day then bring them home for entertainment usage like gaming. It was an absolute pain if I just so happened to forget to charge the night before or forget the charging cord between places. -----------------------------------sound quality-------------------------------------- -In all honesty, the sound quality felt pretty typical for a gaming headset and is what you'd expect it to be. -This does NOT mean it is bad in any way. It is pretty good, but it's standard and nothing too crazy; certainly isn't music production level quality. -In comparison to the razer, it does feel slightly sharper/more pronounced but the difference is negligible. The only time I can notice the difference is probably swapping headsets between an extended time of use. -----------------------------------durability------------------------------------------ -It is very durable in comparison to headsets I've used in the past and this exceeded my expectations greatly. -On numerous occasions as I'm holding it or taking it somewhere, I'd clumsily drop it on pavement as I'm walking or accidentally scrape it a bit against a surface. Still no marks to this day. -It is also very flexible so extensively bending it outwards when putting it on does it no harm. -The last turtle beach headset I ever used did not last even a year under even tamer conditions as I wasn't using it as much as I do now. It was hard plastic and the left ear piece literally snapped and was just a wire keeping it dangling. -The prior razer headset was far better than any of the turtle beaches, but on the occasions where I clumsily dropped it against a pavement or a rigid surface, it will leave a mark quite easily. -----------------------------------comfortability------------------------------------------ -As I said, it is quite flexible and the ear pieces are cushioned well with foam. -This effectively means it wont feel like a freakin' clamp on your head when wearing it for a long duration where the headset is constantly trying to curl back into place. -The cushion on the ear pieces and above the head passes standard comfortability and is nothing mind-blowing. -The last turtle beach headset was a clamp. It's plastic material wasn't flexible (which contributed to why it snapped) and was always uncomfortable after wearing for only a few consecutive hours. -The razer was more comfortable but the compromises that build design brought far outweighed what this hyperx has to offer. By compromises, I'm primarily referring to noise cancellation as sound would just go come through the foam quite easily for the raze; the hyperx greatly avoids this issue. Regardless, the hyperx is still comfortable enough to where I can enjoy it for just as long. -----------------------------------wireless-------------------------------------------------- -It's wireless functionality works over a further distance away than any of the prior headsets I've used. I can go from room to room on the same floor or a floor down/up and it'd still work perfectly fine. Anything further than that will progressively lose connection and cutout more and more which is understandable. -In terms of close connection, I've NEVER lost connection at my desk as long as it had battery. -All of my older headsets that are wireless could barely go from room to room. The most prior modern headset I had, the razer, would entirely lose connection a floor above or below and experience constant cutouts going out of my room to just across the hall. Either hyperx is just ahead of the game or these others are settling on a budget. -----------------------------------300 hr battery life-------------------------------------------------- -This perk alone probably made the purchase for me. -I have NOT tested this to the full duration extent because I normally just charge it when it hits around 10-20%, but the longevity is no gimmick. -From experience, at the very least, it has lasted over 3 weeks over average daily use of around 10-12 hrs. -Needless to say, even if it isn't hitting the full 300hrs and is certainly a hell of a lot better than needing to remember to charge a headset every single night. It brought me great convenience and far surpassed my expectations. -----------------------------------other quirks and benefits-------------------------------------------------- -The material of the earpiece/foam is contained by an outer layering and this layering covers the ears very well for decent noise cancellation. -Also because it has this outer layering, cleaning/wiping it is a painless process. -The mic when you mute via headset (there a button under the left ear) will turn on a red led on the mic piece to indicate and let you know you're muted. -The volume adjuster is a scroll wheel under the right ear which makes the design more sleek without having a random knob sticking out of the side. -When you hold the power button to turn on the headset, it will tell you your battery percentage -When your headset is already turned on, you can just click the power button once and it will also tell you the battery percentage. -When no audio is played even if you're at your desk and online, it will turn off by itself to conserve battery. -When you go way too far from connection, it will think you're offline and do the same to conserve battery. Aside from the noise cancellation and automatic turn off for some of my older headsets, the other benefits I just listed weren't available which just adds to the worth for buying this headset for me. -----------------------------------cons---------------------------------------------------- -Only three cons to date that didn't really matter much to me, but should be made aware. 1) ***VERY RARELY*** when I go too far away from connection, the headset will glitch blaring the same sound loudly. It's tough to explain the issue but you can just turn off and then turn the headset back on to fix it. -Nothing like this ever happened to me while at my desk though. -And out of the numerous times I walk a bit far from connection it normally will turn off by itself to conserve battery thinking you're offline, but only around 2-3 times so far that I can remember has this issue occurred. 2) This 2nd issue may be more of a deal breaker to some, and I don't know if it's a common issue. The audio scroll on my headset doesn't really work sometimes (it is inconsistent). I personally didn't really care because I set audio levels through my settings, pc, and individual website instead of adjusting them all through the scroll. 3) Although it does read the battery percentage to you, it does so only in 10s (i.e. "Battery level is 40%" or "Battery level is 50%"); no in between. -----------------------------------pricing-------------------------------------------------- -I bought this when it was at $119.99 around black friday - cyber monday time, so it was even more worth it in my opinion. I don't remember the original pricing before the sale, so can't really compare that price to where it's gone right now. -The rounded price of the razer right now is $130 and this hyperx is $170. The greater convenience and benefits this hyperx provides in comparison far outweighs the difference of $40 for me. Unless there some other brand doing what hyperx is doing with same-better quality and pricing that I've not kept up with, I can't recommend this one enough. -----------------------------------TL:DR-------------------------------------------------- -SOUND QUALITY is as expected and is of standard for a gaming type headset. (nothing mind-blowing) -DURABILITY is very good in comparison. Numerous drops or light scrapes often don't even leave a mark from my experience using it. -COMFORTABILITY: above standard but not the best I've had. The headset's frame is quite flexible while remaining durable so it won't feel like a clamp wearing it for long periods of time as some headsets I've had always try to squeeze back to place given their less flexible material. -WIRELESS over way longer distances compared to past purchases. Room to room, floor above, or floor below all remain stable in connection. Anything further gradually loses connection. -300HR BATTERY LIFE: While untested to the full extent, from experience. I can confirm I've gone uncharged for over 3 weeks of daily 10-12hr usage. Far more convenient than any other headset I've used. OTHER QUIRKS/BENEFITS: 1) Foam for earpieces and above head have outer layer, making it easier to clean and provides decent noise cancellation. 2) Mic piece lights up red when you click the mute button on headset as a convenient indication. 3) Volume adjuster (scroll) under right ear piece instead of a knob makes headset more sleek. 4) Turning on headset or clicking power button while on will read you a rough estimate of the battery percentage left. 5) When too far from connection or no audio is played for a period of time(even if you're within connection), it turns off automatically to reserve battery. CONS: 1) When too far away, normally it turns off by itself, but in the 4 months I've used it, around only 2-3 times it glitches and blares a non-ending long sound. 2) Although it reads you the battery percent, it only does so by 10s and no in between. 3) The audio scroll on the headset is inconsistent (sometimes it doesn't work); doesn't really affect you if you adjust volume through pc settings. -PRICING: out of all the headsets I've used so far, this has to be the best I've had thus far. Even if I splurge a bit more than other headsets on the market right now, the battery life and comfort alone wins me over. --------------------------------------------------------------- ***WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN / RECOMMEND IT?*** -Absolutely, yes. I can't recommend this enough. --------------------------------------------------------------- Hope this review helped, and happy shopping! :)

UPDATE: I’ve had these headphones for about 3 months now, and would like to clarify a few things. I initially thought this microphone was an improvement over the wired version, however, I can now confidently say that this microphone is slightly worse. It’s not amazing, and it’s a bit more static-y than the wired version’s mic. It’s definitely not bad, though, and I have heard so so much worse. Also, after using these headphones for (on average) a few hours every day at 60% volume, the battery life has definitely held up. I end up charging them once they get to about 30% or lower, which usually takes 2-3 weeks. I’d say that’s pretty damn good. Before this headset, I was using a HyperX Cloud II Wired, but I decided I wanted to go wireless, but definitely stay in the HyperX family. All I can say is this headset is a very worthwhile upgrade over the Cloud II, or even if you're not upgrading from anything. It is without a doubt the best headset I have ever owned and I definitely won't be changing headsets any time soon. Comfort: I initially fell in love with the way the Cloud II fit on my head, and this headset only improves upon that. I never considered the Cloud II uncomfortable even after 10+ hours of consecutive use, yet the Cloud Alpha somehow improved upon it. It has a much softer headband and the included ear cups are probably the best I've ever used on a headset. I even tried to upgrade to some Wicked Cushions (which are available on amazon and they have great reviews) but they were honestly a downgrade, they were stiffer and more angular, which lead to a less comfortable experience. Add to that the fact that this headset is fairly light (i didn't weigh it but it definitely isn't heavy. Sound Quality: I'm no audiophile, and these definitely aren't studio-level headphones, but I'd say the sound quality is quite good. You're going to experience the typical gaming headset sound profile of slightly exaggerated bass, but that should be expected as that is typically favorable in games, and also sounds pretty good when listening to music (depending on what you listen to, of course.) I'd say the audio quality is about as good as the wired Cloud II, if a little better, and that's to say, quite good for a gaming headset. Microphone: The microphone is also a slight improvement over the Cloud II, which was already great in my opinion, though this may vary unit to unit because some people complain about poor microphone quality. Also, there is a red LED mic mute indicator which is always welcome and a nice improvement over the Cloud II. Additionally, within the HyperX NGENUITY software there is an option to enable "Mic Monitoring" which basically allows you to hear yourself when you talk (there is practically zero noticeable delay). This likely drains battery life but I will definitely be keeping it on because I love it as a feature and haven't had a single headset that actually has this feature since I had a pair of Turtle Beach Recon 50's many years ago. Not everyone will like this feature but I am personally a big fan. Battery Life: The advertised "300 hour" battery life may or may not be true, I wouldn't know considering I haven't needed to charge the headset since I got it. In all seriousness, it is very good, and there is a battery percentage readout in the HyperX NGENUITY software that also says the hours of charge left. I haven't timed it but I'd wager the actual battery life (depending on what audio level you use, if you use spatial audio, etc.) is around 200-250 hours which is incredible. Build Quality: There's not much to say here, the build quality is pretty good. It's a mix of a soft-touch plastic and metal (probably aluminum) and feels pretty nice. Overall, I would highly recommend this headset if you're in the market for a nice wireless gaming headset.

The battery life on these headphones is INSANE. I charge them once a week. The sound quality is great. The comfort is pretty good. However, I have a several problems with them. 1. The "Power On" and "Power Off" sound. It's a guy that just says, "Power On. Battery level is {blank} percent." That's fine... except he shouts it into your ear at max volume. There is nothing you can do to turn down this voice. I have to turn these on/off at arms length to not have my eardrums blown. People across the room can hear this guy trying to rupture your eardrums. 2. The wireless connection is... ok. I can go into the kitchen and restroom from my bedroom (kitchen is next room over, restroom is two rooms over in the other direction.) However, in the kitchen, depending on the angle of my head, they randomly disconnect. Also, my balcony which attaches directly to my bedroom... they disconnect the moment I go outside. Keep in mind, my previous headset did not have this issue and I was able to walk around my entire apartment and balcony without connection trouble. 3. They randomly freeze. I guess freeze is the best word for it. I'll be watching a video, playing a game, talking to friends, or any other normal task when suddenly, the audio in my headset turns into a loud "BRRRRRRRRR" tone that does not stop. I have to shut them off and turn them back on again. This is clearly an issue with the headset as turning on my PC speakers shows the PC audio is fine. 4. The volume dial on the headset is USELESS without their garbage app installed. In fact, if you roll it down, it will even sound a tone telling you it's been turned up/down all the way... even though the volume hasn't changed. I shouldn't have to install their bloatware just to use the volume nob, this should be built into the headset firmware. 5. The software is trash. It comes with RGB customization! There is no RGB on this headset. It has advanced macro software. Your headset doesn't have macros. It's got a whole bunch of other features... and NONE of them matter for your headset. It's meant to be an all-in-one software but if you only use the headphones then this software being forced upon you for the most basic feature; volume wheel. Update: They broke today. Like, the entire rail snapped out of place because the plastic clip snapped while putting the headphones on which caused the metal inside to stab me in the side of the head. I've only had them for like a year.

I bought a pair of these mid-2022, and they just broke down today, April 2026. There was no user error, the battery simply stopped working suddenly. Some good things: When I first received them, I thought they were the greatest headphones ever. The battery life is insane. It was always confusing to me for a second when they don't turn on, because it's so long between charges that I forget they even require charging. Daily use for 6+ hours, and you maybe need to charge every other month. The range is acceptable. I've never used other wireless headsets so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I can go to the bathroom which is right outside my bedroom and still be connected. The kitchen is a ways and down some stairs, so I lose it there. But for doing anything in my room, it's a non-issue. They are relatively comfy. They took a bit to get used to, like all headsets, but after a few weeks I had to touch my ears to verify that I had them on. I routinely go to bed with them on, but I have to adjust them a bit if I sleep on my side. The padding didn't look special, but it outlasted the battery. Sound quality is great. I'm no audiophile though. Mic is fairly generic, but I like that it can be removed, and it's easy to manipulate to your mouth. The build quality is great, EXCEPT for a certain part which I will get to later. The headband it metal and very malleable, I routinely fall asleep with them on in my bed and have never woken up to a bent headset. It springs back to it's original shape every time. They connect to my computer via a small usb dongle that came with it, so if I ever needed to travel with them, it would be a sinch. Some of the bad things: The battery indicator, which is a voice that comes through the earpiece, is unreliable. It will tell me it's 90% charged for weeks, and then suddenly die and need to be recharged. It was broken from the very beginning. It wasn't a big deal though considering how rarely it needs charging. The sound control knob on the side of the headset stopped registering my inputs after about a year. It will sometimes randomly beep without touching it, like it attempting to move the sound higher or lower, but has no effect on the volume. It happens rarely enough that it isn't a big deal. I just have to control the volume through Windows instead. A big one, which I think they could fix pretty easily, is the plastic pieces on either side of the headset where the adjustment mechanism enters the headband. These are the weak link in the entire headset. They will be the first thing to break because they are in a high use area and are made of cheap plastic. The right-side one broke on mine, which resulted in the adjustment mechanism (which is connected to the earpiece) simply detaching from the headband. I had to gerry-rig back together using zip-ties and electrical tape. I could no longer adjust the right side, but it still functioned otherwise. I promptly wrapped the left plastic piece (the one that had not broken yet) in electrical tape to prevent a similar fate. I RECOMMEND YOU WRAP THESE PLASTIC PIECES IN ELECTRICAL TAPE THE MOMENT YOU RECEIVE THIS HEADSET. I feel like they could swap out these plastic piece for metal and there would never be an issue. The last issue would be the battery itself. It does keep a charge for a long time, I'll give it that. But from brand new to completely dead (as in it will no longer take a charge), it lasted about four years. To be fair, this is with near daily use, multiple hours. However, I think I paid about $170 initially, and for that kind of money I would expect at least 7 years out of it. Maybe I'm asking too much. Overall, I think if you are in the market for a headset, this is the endgame. I'm sure there are headsets out there with better "sound quality" or more "features", but really, you just want a headset that you can hear sound through and talk to others through. You don't want to have to worry about getting up to go to the bathroom with your headset on and pulling the cord from your computer, or having to charge it during a gaming session. You can do other things while you wear them, you aren't limited to your computer chair. The battery life allows you to fall asleep listening to a podcast without worrying that the battery will drain out. The fact that most of the parts that are prone to break are made of metal (unlike a lot of other headsets), and with the little "electrical tape" hack I mentioned earlier, these things can take a lot of abuse. Like I said, I sleep with them, and I roll around a lot. So in conclusion, I think these are a great deal for $119 (current price). The bad points I mentioned are minor, and one can be avoided completely simply with a bit of electrical tape. You get a headset that's durable, wireless, and basically never needs to be recharged, that you can take anywhere. What more do you want?

I used to use logitech headphones, then I discovered HyperX. First some background. I'm blind, using a screen reader to access my computer. I'm also a techy, both for work and personally, so I'm easily on my computer 12 or more hours a day. This means using my screen reader for all of this time, not to mention online meetings since I work remotely, music or audio books, audio based games, etc. I also move around a lot. All of this to say, having good headphones is nonnegotiable. My requirements are pretty heavy. I need good, clear sound, comfort including if I need to move one off of an ear so I can hear what's going on around me, a very good battery life, on device mute and volume control, decent range so I don't drop off meetings, a decent microphone, and controls that don't require vision. I also need to be able to plug them in and still use them. This thing meets every one of those and them some. The battery life is shockingly good. Better yet, I can press a button and find out what the battery percentage is at least in 10% increments, not by lights but by a spoken voice. In my experience, HyperX blows other brands out of the water with their battery life on headphones. I thought with my first HyperX purchase years ago that surely, surely their battery claims were a typo or a huge exaggeration. They aren't. While I haven't actually calculated time from full charge to dead, I can tell you that I can use these things for days before charging them. In fact, after over a year of using them literally every single day all day, I think I've run them completely dead a total of once. Since the guy tells me every time I turn them on what the battery percentage is, I have plenty of warning when it's getting down some. And if my ADHD brain still forgets to plug them in, eventually he'll start persistently reminding me if it gets low enough. That voice is another thing. Though the app is downright awful and i don't even bother, the device itself is extremely accessible. Unlike some headsets, I don't feel like I'm at a disadvantage because I can't see lights on it. The only thing that doesn't talk or beep is when I plug them in and they start charging. As quickly as they charge though, if I do happen to plug them in to a cable that isn't actually getting power, I'll figure it out fairly quickly when the announced battery percent doesn't go up. Turning them on and off announces. Pressing the power button while on announces battery. Pressing the mute button beeps, twice for mute and once for unmuted. When the signal connects or disconnects, I get a spoken announcement. It's like they were intentionally made to be accessible, and whether this is true or not doesn't really matter when they just work. The detachable mic is both a blessing and a curse. The advantage is that if it breaks somehow, unlikely due to the design but if something does happen, you just plug in a replacement. The disadvantage is that if you're like me, it's easy to unplug and misplace the thing. Replacements are super cheap though, and I keep a couple around just to be safe. The noise canceling is sometimes too good. It's fantastic at minimizing sending background noise, but it's so good that when I actually want to let someone hear my cat's purr, it filters her out. I think the fact I can wear these all day long every day without any problem speaks for itself on comfort. The only time I find them less comfortable is if I try to lay down while listening to an audio book or something, but in all fairness they aren't really designed for that. One thing though. If the little oval pads that go around the ears ever come off, they are a real bear to get back on.

I mean honestly 4.5 only because mic needs the setup to start getting its quality features and the API I hear sucks but ill figure that out later its delivering much more clear mic audio out the box anyways; compared at my corsair mic. Next the battery, this is what IN MY OPINION is better than the battery replacement tech and even the built in battery life with replacements like u would see on a Glorious GHS or the Steel Series. THIS IS SUPERIOR TO ME. For example I used an alternative 2-3 inch charging cord for about 30 minutes to make something and eat in the kitchen. Went from 60-90 percent. I had been using this about 15-20 hours a week since i bought it and only got down to about 60. So Im impressed. If u even have to go to the gas station ur getting a whole nights worth of battery life just like that! Audio is real 7.1. Im loving it, it is definitely better for enemy movement as well as dampening sounds that usually hurt ur ear. At least on standard preset. This is an improvement from my old Corsair WL again which i was using iCUE to actually improve the audio so bam two of my biggest things. audio and mic quality. Conclusion, I got this on sale and I personally believe there is not a single other option at the price I paid for a new headset. I got my two important needs fulfilled and the headset is comfy and adjustable. if it feels wrong, extend it. And ofcourse the battery to charge ratio is infinite. It was in fact around 120-150 hours when i was at 60%
