The verdict

The pairing of a classic workhorse gaming headset with battery life that dramatically outlasts the competition makes this a no brainer for anyone who's ever known the sting of a dead battery at the beginning of a gaming session. It's not a perfect product, but 300 hours is 300 hours.

✓Liked: Battery life, Sound, Comfortable

✕Could be better: NGenuity is a little spotty, Microphone could be clearer

How we verify owners

Nobody who owns the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless has written in yet.

Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
