While the mic is removable, these have a bunch of gamer chic in their aesthetic. The Cloud Alpha is, however, nowhere near as understated as the Epos. Sadly, the mic is your fairly standard affair and while it will work just fine for chat in games, it's very basic and uninspired when it comes to sound quality.Ī+ would have my soul leave my body again. A+ would have my soul leave my body again. They even work really well with my PS5, which is always a bonus. Footsteps are nice and clear for creatures who have them, and spatial sound works an absolute treat. If you've ever wanted to know what it sounds like having a Cacodemon suddenly show up and whisper sweet blah-things into very specifically your left ear then these can absolutely deliver. I loaded up some Doom Eternal and promptly terrified myself. I was able to easily locate hidden batteries by directional beeps in Deep Rock Galactic, and had a wonderful time bouncing along to the tight beats of Shadow Warrior 3. When playing games the directional sound is also very nice. They're on par with the Epos H3Pro Hybrid (opens in new tab) I reviewed earlier this year, but don't have the added functionality of Bluetooth or noise cancelling, which really isn't needed for a pure PC gaming headset. These do an excellent job, and are definitely one of the better gaming headsets I've used to listen to music on. It's always fun to listen to some of my favourite sound heavy songs on a good pair of cans and try to pick the different instruments or bites used. Most other headsets I couldn't have set to these levels and still wear, and while I still prefer the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless sitting at most 70–80% it seems wrong that I can't blow my eardrums off when cranking it right up.īut the sound quality truly is incredible. The difference between about 50% and 100% is definitely notable, but doesn't feel like the huge gap it normally would be. It's clean, crisp and very clear for the levels, but also just not the loudness you'd expect for 100%. It's absolutely loud enough but I can listen to it at full volume and still be fairly comfortable. A lot of that has to do with the volume you're running the headset at, and volume is probably my only real complaint. That impressive battery life is of course, a best case scenario.
