If you value a stable connection, clear sound and high wearing comfort, the "Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless" is a headset that is designed with precisely these points in mind.
Sound and control
Comfort and workmanship
The headset weighs 345 grammes. Microfibre ear pads and a headband with memory foam provide support and should remain comfortable for hours. The steel frame and aluminium forks increase stability and make the headset resistant to typical stresses such as frequent picking up and putting down or falling off a desk.
Communication
The detachable 10 mm boom microphone is equipped with a mains filter and has an LED mute indicator. It works in both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth mode. This ensures clear transmission for voice chats or calls.
The «HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless» is compatible with PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, Mac and mobile devices. It can only be used with the Xbox via the 3.5 mm connection.
The editorial team says: As a user of the previous model, I received the «Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless» from the manufacturer and tried it out for several days. During this time, I didn't even have to recharge it after setting it up. The sound is well-balanced, especially voices and fine details in games come through clearly. The wearing comfort is very pleasant. My ears are often very sensitive.
I was less impressed by the base station supplied. Although it is intended as a control centre, I didn't find any practical use for it in everyday life.
