Professional ReviewAfter extensive research into wired headphones for my PC, I decided to upgrade from my Razer Carcharias, which have served me well for over a decade but are now showing their age. I tested several alternatives, yet none delivered the same impactful sound quality when paired with my Creative Katana v2 Soundbar. Wireless and USB models, in particular, tended to sound artificial to my ears.Ultimately, I chose the Alpha headphones, and the experience has been outstanding. The audio is exceptionally well-balanced, with punchy bass, crisp treble, and clear mids. Directional sound is precise, allowing me to easily identify the origin of in-game effects such as footsteps, gunfire, or missiles—significantly enhancing immersion.Feedback from teammates has also been positive; the microphone delivers clear voice transmission with minimal background noise, outperforming my previous setup. While some reviews suggest the bass is lacking, this appears to be more a limitation of onboard soundcards found in certain motherboards. In my own testing, the difference was clear: when connected to a PC with basic onboard audio, the bass impact was noticeably reduced compared to the richness achieved with my soundbar.Comfort and build quality are equally impressive. The headphones are lightweight, and the cushioned ear cups provide a snug fit that blocks a substantial amount of ambient noise, though they are not fully noise-cancelling. The detachable microphone is flexible and easy to position, while the included 3.5mm cable and extension ensure straightforward plug-and-play connectivity.Durability also seems promising; the construction feels solid and should withstand long-term use with proper care. For users with a capable PC soundcard—whether onboard or dedicated—the Alpha headphones are an excellent choice that deliver immersive audio performance and reliable communication. Highly recommended.

I’ve been getting back into gaming recently and have found using headphones a must for FPS where hearing footsteps or voice comms is essential. Up until now, I’ve been using a pair of Sony MDRs with the phone mic to talk to squadmates. They’ve worked well but when a squaddie, who was standing next to me in-game, said he could hear footsteps and I couldn’t I realised I might be missing out on a tactical advantage. We both had the same audio settings and did some tests. Playing back the video clips revealed that my headphones just weren’t relaying sounds effectively. Time for a new headset.I looked at reviews for AGES and kept jumping from brand to brand. One brand that consistently got good reviews was HyperX. Eventually, I decided these were the brand for me but I still couldn’t decide between the Cloud Alphas or the ones made for PS4. My reasoning was the Cloud Alphas apparently had an audio drop when used via a PS4 controller.In the end, I went with the Cloud Alphas anyway. And boy am I glad I did.They are super comfy and I’m able to wear them for several hours without issue. They are just as comfy as the Sony MDRs they replaced but the MDRs to have angled speaker grills which help with ear clearance a little. It’s not a problem for me but if you have larger than average ears, you may experience contact between the speaker grill and your ear.The mic is awesome. It is so clear that everyone I game with regularly has noticed the difference. They reckon it sounds like I’m in the same room as them. I’ve tested it while streaming, too, and it sounds just as good as a dedicated mic. It offers great noise cancellation, too, which I have tested with two kids playing in the same room while chatting to squadmates. They couldn’t hear them at all.The sound is great. The headphones pick up so much more sounds and I can hear footsteps in-game from quite far away. I can even hear hostiles re-plating or reloading in Warzone, which has given me a huge advantage. The audio is also very loud with plenty of adjustment to suit anyone’s hearing. I mean you can turn it down so low you can’t hear a thing or crank it up ’till your ears bleed. I don’t know what other users have been doing to say their audio was quiet while using them on a PS4.One criticism on the sound is the bass. I noticed a slight difference in the lack of punchy bass tones compared to the MDRs. This is most notable with explosions and getting hit markers when shooting. They are not as crisp or deep but rather a little bit muddy. However, you do still get those sounds and you eventually get used to it. All the other sounds are so much better and precise it becomes a very small trade-off.I’ve also tested the headphones for music and they are pretty good but due to that lack of clear bass tone, the MDRs have the edge while listening to tunes.Finally, I did a phone test with them, too. Although they would qualify as a very elaborate handsfree kit, they do a very good job, with possibly the best phone call audio I’ve ever experienced. People on the other end of the call have commented on my clear audio back to them, which just adds another confirmation as to how good the mic is.Do I recommend them? Hell yeah! Don’t hesitate. Buy them!

Mon fils ne le quitte plus…
Donc j’imagine qu’il est très bien. Acheté il y a quelques mois il a l’air de tenir la durée

コールオブデューティが上手になりました！
愛用していた謎の中華製ヘッドセットが壊れたので、買い換えることにしました。カッコ良いのがいいな、と9割方見た目を重視して探していたところ、ゴールドVerに一目惚れし、選んだ次第です。実際に使用したところ、大満足の性能でした。コールオブデューティをプレイすると、今まで聞こえづらかった足音がしっかりと聞こえ、どの方向から敵が近づいているのかが分かりやすいです。ゲーミング以外の用途としてはどうなのかな、と思い音楽を聴いたりもしてみましたが、そこまでこだわらない方であれば十分使えるレベルかと思います。低音は弱いですが、ボーカルは聴きやすい感じです。マイクの音質についても、友人とボイスチャットした際に「音がクリアになったね！」と言われたので、悪くは無いのかな、と思います。7000円代でこのクオリティだったので、満足しています。
