what is up team thank you for commenting and getting this to my attention for review if I didn't get these man I'll be missing out I love the revolver s but for those who can't spend that much these are the cloud alphas HyperX sent these over for testing but it has always been transparent our assessments was not altered it in any way please watch the entire video for both pros and cons they retail for $99 at the time of this video I'll place my affiliate links in the video description below click on those links and they'll give you the most updated prices in real time you never know when these things might go on sale I'm Jimmy with jims review room and I'm here to help you make that purchase decision welcome everyone to another review before we get started I have hired a new reviewer for the channel his name is Ian and he'll be reviewing the cloud twos which should be released in a day or two he is helping me out here please give him a warm welcome when you do hear his voice on that next video man let me know how he does you know I always get feedback from you guys so getting into this I love the black and red it's the details that looked amazing red stitching up top but very subtle cool to the touch leather down to the cold aluminum arms on the side and love that red there and down to the aluminum stealthy black metal ear cups everything looks and as important feels very premium the headset unfortunately doesn't fold in in the ear cup don't swivel when I'm taking a break from gaming leaving an on my neck it could be a little uncomfortable so I do just leave it on the table but speaking of comfort testing this over the weekend for several hours straight playing both battlefield and overwatch these are very easy to wear coming in at 336 grams with a cord and mic attached they never felt heavy on my head I never had wearing fatigue and never any issues along the jaw line due to its clamping force now although the cloud alphas are very comfortable while wearing and gaming it's a very similar experience with the ear pads soft and supple leather once again and while wearing they do feel plush against my face now I do admit they don't feel as airy as my new Corsair void pros and intend to heat up my ears faster in normal room temperature the good thing though over these several hours over the weekend that is I have never had any ear sweat now the passive noise isolation and the alphas are pretty darn good here when audio is going the alphas do black out a moderate amount of background noise it's able to muffle much of your keyboard presses family in the background talking and the likes the microphone is detachable which I love some headsets do come with a fixed microphone that you would have to swivel up when you're not using kind of annoying but the microphone is flexible its bendable very easy to articulate to your position testing the microphone quality there's a quick sample alright folks doing a very quick test at the HyperX cloud alpha microphone this is completely unedited I have the Amazon echo playing at about 50% of I'm playing NPR a National Public Radio for those who don't know but I'm trying to essentially assimilate voice chat on the background I'm kind of ambient noise you guys might be able to hear a little bit of that the background but I'm gonna snap my fingers in front of me I kind of give you guys a little bit of a test or a sample of what you guys might expect this still picks up a little bit of background noise but it is one of the better microphones out there second my voice comes across very very clear that's the most important part a little bit nasally but again compared to others on the market there's actually one of the best ones I've tested so far on the channel hopefully this little test helped you guys in some way back to the review touching based on the wires there's connections for both PC and consoles each comes fabric braided it feels great yanking hard on this thing I mean hard to test here it's been a beast sting inside the ear Cup it's also removable which helps with transports and the inline controller there's no DSPs inline amps and such it's a simple vine wheel and a mute button to use very easy to reach and the adjustments offers enough feedback or resistance so most accidental bumps won't happen now touching quickly on transport despite the alphas being built like a tank here instead of a carrying case that I think would have made this entire package complete you do get up carrying pouch it's simple less bulky to an extent but I would have preferred more protection last but not least before I talk about audio performance the biggest selling factor of marketing that HyperX is doing it's this dual chamber driver separating the bass response for the mids and highs helps create a cleaner audio experience better response overall they're claiming better distinction and audio and less distortion of course putting this through the test I fired on battlefield 1 for its airy very open world experience also for some of the intense gun battles and vehicle destruction that goes on bass is very good for aimed on preempt non DSP included headset it's not deep resonating bass likely revolver s but the Alpha provides a very balanced bass experience face is punching clean explosions going off they're not overdone and they don't sound either raspy or money either but I'm really nice Rumble compared to other headphones in its class the cloud alpha sounds better than most in my opinion if anything they're also louder in volume two getting into the mid-range these are very bright and forward vocal performance stands out with sounds on your own footsteps of running on different terrain two different surfaces are heard with very good distinction because of its bright signature the Alpha is during battlefield one had a lot of detail and fidelity being heard I did throw in some overwatch and very similar characteristics were noticed I do wish these were a bit airier had much of a water sound stage but honestly I think if we were to push that on these pair of headphones it would be more in the revolver territory but for a hundred dollars for the hundred eyelet price range these are performing phenomenally now as for the high frequencies when bullets are flying by and Benefield one or time when I'm playing four to seven other headsets can sound ear piercing on the very top M the cloud alpha prevents a lot of that listening fatigue that sometimes very bright and B in your face type headsets can cause in the end the biggest part from just the audio test I would have to say it's how clear how well define these headsets are those dual drivers surely maybe the reason alright folks that's it for this review I highly recommend these again Ian my new tech review will be making the next video go easy on him let me know how it goes you guys take care and I will see you on the next one you
