HyperX have released a new headset, the Cloud Alpha which weighs in at a svelte 336g, the lightest model yet. Inside you will find the standard 50mm drivers, though HyperX designed the Alpha with two chambers surrounding the speaker, which The Tech Report felt worked very well in enhancing audio quality. It was the microphone which was the biggest surprise, offering significantly better quality than any of the other headsets they have used, though not quite up to a stand alone model. At a price of $100, TR has no qualms in recommending purchasing this headset.
"HyperX has continually refined its Cloud series of headsets ever since the original became a smash hit for the company, and the Cloud Alpha is one of the latest fruits of that work. We put this headset to the test with games and music to see whether HyperX's mantra of continuous improvement has paid off."
