Product details

The HyperX Cloud Alpha S builds upon the groundbreaking Cloud Alpha and features custom-tuned HyperX virtual 7.1 surround sound. With the included audio control mixer, you can activate the surround sound and adjust the game audio and chat balance without having to go into any menus. Bass adjustment sliders have been added to the ear cups so you can personalize your audio. The Cloud Alpha S still features the dual-chamber driver system which reduces distortion and provides clearer sound, as well as signature HyperX comfort afforded by the memory foam ear cushions, which have been upgraded with extra breathable leatherette.

Tuned by HyperX and tested by gamers to ensure that players would get amazing in-game audio. The Digital Signal Processing sound card amplifies audio for a more immersive PC gaming experience.

Select from 3 levels of bass with these convenient sliders on the ear cups. Fully open them for maximum bass or close them to reduce the bass levels.

Separation of bass frequencies from the mids and highs allows them to be tuned separately to provide more distinction between sounds and minimizes distortion.

  • NegativeÜberladener Klang mit vorlauten Bässen
  • NegativeMikrofonqualität mau

Der Testsieg unter den Kabel-Headsets geht an das Asus ROG Strix Go. Es gefiel vor allem mit seinem ausgewogenen Klang, der eine präzise Ortung von Gegnern ermöglicht. Zudem sitzt es bequem auf dem Kopf. Leider schwächelt das Mikrofon des Asus. Hier ist der Preis-Leistungs-Sieger JBL Quantum 400 sogar besser. Beim Klang müssen Sparfüchse aber Abstriche hinnehmen.

Das HyperX Cloud Alpha S ist ein durchweg solides Gaming-Headset, das auf ein bewährtes, hochwertiges und komfortables Design setzt und auch klangtechnisch absolut überzeugen kann. Nur der zuschaltbare virtuelle 7.1-Raumklang ist verbesserungswürdig und die Bass-Schieberegler sind nur ein nettes Gimmick...
