HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless
The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless are decent for wireless gaming, although they have a couple of big caveats. They have a comfortable fit, and their long battery life easily lasts through multiple days of gaming. However, their latency is a bit high, which causes slight lip sync issues. Although you can customize their v-shaped sound profile using their companion software, users have experienced high latency when using the app, which is a deal-breaker if you game competitively. On the upside, their boom mic has a very good overall performance, so your voice sounds clear, even in moderately noisy environments.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is an excellent wireless gaming headset. It excels where it counts, in audio quality, but don't try to use it with anything besides a PC.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is a marvellous gaming headset for your PC and PS5. As well as offering stellar battery life, it’s also well made with an aluminium outer frame and suave black and red colour scheme. Audio is big and meaty, which is great for gaming, and its 2.4GHz wireless connection offers up little to no latency.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless' whopping 300-hour battery life is an unmatched feature that, for many, will be reason enough to upgrade to these cordless cans. But gamers are getting so much more than an untethered headset that rarely needs charging. Retaining and refining what worked so well in its previous models, HyperX marries that astounding feature with durability, comfort and – crucially – premium performance.
