One of Our Favorite Gaming Headsets Hits All-Time Low Ahead of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale

The HyperX Cloud Alpha impressed our expert reviewer with its comfort and battery life, and now it’s 40% off.

I spotted the HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless headset at its lowest price ever — just $120. This early Amazon Big Spring Sale deal knocks 40% off the regular retail price of $200. Deals this good don’t usually linger, so if you’re looking for a new set of gaming headphones, I’d recommend snagging this one while you can.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha landed on our list of best wireless headsets. Our expert, Lori Grunin, praised the impressive battery life, excellent sound and superb comfort.

The last thing you need during an epic gaming session is a dying headset. With the HyperX Cloud Alpha, you won’t need to worry about that. The company promises a whopping 300 hours of battery life. While other headsets can cause fatigue during wear, the HyperX Cloud Alpha was the «comfort winner» in our tests.

Grunin was also impressed by its sound quality. The steps of your enemies will be crystal-clear, which is sure to improve your K/D ratio. It also offers DTS Headphone:X support for immersive virtual surround. The mic is detachable and has an LED indicator, which makes it easier to know whether you’re muted or broadcasting. Its 2.4GHz connection is also pretty fast and lag-free. The HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless headset is durable with its tough aluminum frame. It’s compatible with the PS5 and PC.
