Can the Cloud Alpha Wireless be used with PS4/PS5?
While the Cloud Alpha Wireless is only officially compatible with PC for full functionality, it should still function as a headset on the PS5, albeit without the additional functionality provided by NGENUITY eg. DTS, EQ customization, etc.
-
Can the Cloud Alpha Wireless be used with Xbox?
No, the Cloud Alpha Wireless will not function in any way when used with an Xbox system of any generation eg. Xbox 360, Xbox One, or Xbox Series X | S.
-
Can the Cloud Alpha Wireless connect via Bluetooth with any system?
No, the Cloud Alpha Wireless esclusively connects via the included 2.4GHz Wireless USB adapter. Bluetooth does not allow for sufficient bandwidth for simultaneous high quality audio playback and mic usage.
-
Does the Cloud Alpha Wireless come in any alternate color variants?
Not currently.
-
How are the DTS driver, EQ, and battery life check functions accessed on the Cloud Alpha Wireless?
Getting the most out of the Cloud Alpha Wireless requires using it on PC (Windows 10 / 11) and having NGENUITY (our software) running. Be sure to follow the instructions included in the box to set up the headset and load the DTS drivers.

Game-Changer: The Best Wireless Headset I’ve Ever Used!
Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews. Please reload the page.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2025If you’re looking for a high quality, not overly expensive headset, this is the one. I’ve owned headsets from Turtle Beach, Sony, and cheaper options and this blows them away. The sound is excellent, very clear and would recommend for any FPS. They are very comfortable with the memory foam ear pieces. Connectivity is a breeze, turn it on and it connects almost instantly to your gaming system. Lastly, the battery life is very, very impressive. I’ve owned it for almost 2 weeks and I game a good amount of the day and I’ve only had to charge it once. You will not be disappointed with this purchase. I won’t buy any other brand moving forward.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2025Key Highlights:
• Crystal-Clear Positional Audio – Pinpoint enemy movements with incredible accuracy.
• Unmatched Wireless Range – Stay connected even when moving around the house.
• Comfort & Build Quality – Lightweight, durable, and perfect for long gaming sessions.
• Seamless Wireless Experience – No lag, no dropouts—just flawless connection.
Full Review:
I’ve used an expensive gaming headset since 2017—one that originally cost over $250—and I thought it was still good enough. When I got back into PUBG, I assumed my old headset was doing the job, but a friend recommended the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless and claimed it would completely change my experience. Honestly, I didn’t believe him. But after using this headset, I have to admit—I’m absolutely blown away. The positional audio is next-level—I can hear every footstep, gunshot, and movement with pinpoint accuracy, making a massive difference in my gameplay.
I also didn’t expect to care much about the wireless range, but it’s incredible. I can walk from my office all the way to my kitchen while staying connected to my PC and chatting with my friends, with zero interruptions. The sound quality, comfort, and battery life make this headset a must-have for any serious gamer. If you’re on the fence, trust me—this headset is worth every penny.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024UPDATE: I’ve had these headphones for about 3 months now, and would like to clarify a few things. I initially thought this microphone was an improvement over the wired version, however, I can now confidently say that this microphone is slightly worse. It’s not amazing, and it’s a bit more static-y than the wired version’s mic. It’s definitely not bad, though, and I have heard so so much worse. Also, after using these headphones for (on average) a few hours every day at 60% volume, the battery life has definitely held up. I end up charging them once they get to about 30% or lower, which usually takes 2-3 weeks. I’d say that’s pretty damn good.
Before this headset, I was using a HyperX Cloud II Wired, but I decided I wanted to go wireless, but definitely stay in the HyperX family. All I can say is this headset is a very worthwhile upgrade over the Cloud II, or even if you're not upgrading from anything. It is without a doubt the best headset I have ever owned and I definitely won't be changing headsets any time soon.
Comfort:
I initially fell in love with the way the Cloud II fit on my head, and this headset only improves upon that. I never considered the Cloud II uncomfortable even after 10+ hours of consecutive use, yet the Cloud Alpha somehow improved upon it. It has a much softer headband and the included ear cups are probably the best I've ever used on a headset. I even tried to upgrade to some Wicked Cushions (which are available on amazon and they have great reviews) but they were honestly a downgrade, they were stiffer and more angular, which lead to a less comfortable experience. Add to that the fact that this headset is fairly light (i didn't weigh it but it definitely isn't heavy.
Sound Quality:
I'm no audiophile, and these definitely aren't studio-level headphones, but I'd say the sound quality is quite good. You're going to experience the typical gaming headset sound profile of slightly exaggerated bass, but that should be expected as that is typically favorable in games, and also sounds pretty good when listening to music (depending on what you listen to, of course.) I'd say the audio quality is about as good as the wired Cloud II, if a little better, and that's to say, quite good for a gaming headset.
Microphone:
The microphone is also a slight improvement over the Cloud II, which was already great in my opinion, though this may vary unit to unit because some people complain about poor microphone quality. Also, there is a red LED mic mute indicator which is always welcome and a nice improvement over the Cloud II. Additionally, within the HyperX NGENUITY software there is an option to enable "Mic Monitoring" which basically allows you to hear yourself when you talk (there is practically zero noticeable delay). This likely drains battery life but I will definitely be keeping it on because I love it as a feature and haven't had a single headset that actually has this feature since I had a pair of Turtle Beach Recon 50's many years ago. Not everyone will like this feature but I am personally a big fan.
Battery Life:
The advertised "300 hour" battery life may or may not be true, I wouldn't know considering I haven't needed to charge the headset since I got it. In all seriousness, it is very good, and there is a battery percentage readout in the HyperX NGENUITY software that also says the hours of charge left. I haven't timed it but I'd wager the actual battery life (depending on what audio level you use, if you use spatial audio, etc.) is around 200-250 hours which is incredible.
Build Quality:
There's not much to say here, the build quality is pretty good. It's a mix of a soft-touch plastic and metal (probably aluminum) and feels pretty nice.
Overall, I would highly recommend this headset if you're in the market for a nice wireless gaming headset.

5.0 out of 5 stars MAGIA!!!
Non credevo nella magia fino a che ho provato queste cuffie. Esagerazioni a parte questa è stata una scommessa per me. Non avevo mai speso una cifra del genere per delle cuffie da gaming ed ero un pò timoroso di aver buttato dei soldi. Non l'ho fatto. Le hyperx cloud alpha wireless sono incredibili. Ottimi materiali e costruzione: se le tratti con un minimo di attenzione ti dureranno anni. I copri orecchie sono grandi e comodissimi, così come la banda superiore. Non ho mai usato cuffie per lunghi periodi di tempo prima, ma dopo ore con queste addosso non ho avuto nessun problema. Anche dal punto di vista del sonoro solo ottime cose: I suoni sono ottimi sulle alte e medie frequenze e i bassi sono un pochino meno entusiasmanti fermandosi ad un buono . Il suono spaziale viene riprodotto bene con solo una zona un pò morta dietro a chi ascolta ma niente di eccessivo. Ottima la distanza di trasmissione con le prime perdite di suono a circa 15 metri con 1 parete in mezzo. Appena prese avevano un fastidioso problema di interruzione del suono per circa 1 secondo ogni tanto ma con l'ultimo aggiornamento del firmware è stato risolto. Non uso mai il microfono personalmente ma nella prova che ho fatto non era entusiasmante. si sente tutto ma ovattato. Infine la parte che sembra veramente magia: la batteria. Io non so esattamente con che demone abbiano fatto un patto ma ne è valsa la pena. La carica sembra essere inesauribile. Per passare da 80% al 70% ci ho messo una settimana con sessioni giornaliere medie di 4 ore: quindi intorno alle 28 ore. PER USARE IL 10% DI CARICA. Questo vuol dire circa 280 ore per una carica completa. Non dico altro.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sound for gaming AND music
These are the closest I've come to being able to recreate the sound profile of my Sony XM3s (minus the active noise cancellation); for a pair of 'gaming' headphones that's a HUGE win for me. The sound is fairly balanced (as evidenced with the frequency graphs measured at the website Rtings) and the bass response is great - and by great I don't mean overbearing, I mean able to extend fairly deeply while not overpowering the mids.
The Mic sounds good (not the best I've heard) but is certainly better than most mics not including the Corsair HS80s and Virtuosos / the new 2023 Blackshark V2. Those two gaming headphones have shortcomings in other areas that overshadow their mic performance - of the three these Alphas are certainly more well rounded in general if you're looking to play exclusively on PC.
Pros:
Battery is flat insane - 300hours, it's like magic at this point
The fit is comfortable, with earpads deep enough that my ears don't touch drivers.
The build quality (all aluminum) feels solid
Sound profile is well balanced, and they perform equally well for music as they do for games
Price is reasonable (not cheap by any means - but less expensive than some others)
The microphone is decent
The gaming software isn't rife full of intrusive dataminers. It's basic and to the point, perfect.
Works well for glasses wearers
Cons:
Can't connect to phone with 3.5mm cable
Can't connect to phone with bluetooth
For a purely PC gaming focused headset - these IMO are hard if not impossible to beat for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top!
Woaaaw! Le top du top. 300h d'autonomie : oui c'est vrai. Et le son ? Super basse (à régler car trop de basses en sortie d'usine), réduction de bruit au top. Très bon pour la ps5 et pc. Juste un petit bemol: après de longues heures d'utilisation, on peut ressentir une gêne car le casque est assez compact et serré un peu la tête. Mais pour moi, qui n'a pas une tete démesurée, produit vraiment top.
