Rated 5 out of 5 by malik27_6879 from “The HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless delivers sturdy HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless Review I’ve been using the new HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless for about a month now, and honestly, it’s probably my favorite thing I’ve received in a while. I was really excited to try it out, especially since I’ve been a big fan of the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wired (Xbox Edition) — easily my favorite headset ever. That said, the Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless genuinely surprised me. It actually feels better in a lot of ways — more solid, with that satisfying metal frame that gives it some real heft. It feels denser and sturdier in the hands compared to the Nova Pro. Performance-wise, the Nova Pro still edges it out slightly overall (I’d give it around 4.8–4.9/5), but the Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless earns a strong 4.5–4.6/5 from me. The wireless freedom alone makes it great for PC gaming — moving around without dealing with wires is a big plus. One small downside: while HyperX advertises Bluetooth compatibility with PS5, I couldn’t get it to connect that way, so you’ll need to use the 3.5mm jack for consoles. The sound quality, though, is excellent — crisp, clear, and full-bodied. The only real issue I’ve had is volume control when using it on Xbox or PlayStation. Since it’s just a headset, you have to adjust volume directly through the console. On the other hand, the Nova Pro has the GameDAC, which makes controlling game and chat audio much easier and gives that “game sense” awareness feature. Overall, though, the Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless has definitely taken over as my new daily driver, especially on PlayStation. For PC gaming, it’s perfect if you want quality sound with the convenience of going wireless. Super happy with this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ziyingw_518 from Hyperx cloud alpha 2 This wireless headset has long battery life. It has 6 customized buttons for base station. I feel the microphone is very clear on both ways. Recommend this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sergioh5_3309 from The greatest headset of all time. This headset is the best headset I have ever used in my entire time of playing games. From casual games like madden to intense games like valorant this headset does it all. The command center is so convenient especially while in discord with friends I can quickly mute when I get a call or something comes up or I can mute them with a quick button if they get to loud. You can hear every thing crystal clear with an insane battery life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Xavier F from Good battery life, EQ, and software. Sound is amazing compared to the Alpha 1s, EQ is good on arrival haven't had to touch it. Along with the Ngenuity Beta it means that these had easy to install drivers since day 1 with no problems. The bluetooth + 2.4ghz work flawlessly. They originally seemed pretty expensive but otherwise are worth the value.
