HyperX Cloud Alpha S Gaming Headset - Blue

Two chambers in each earcup, one for the bass and one for the mids and highs, tuned apart so the low end stops smearing everything above it. That separation is what sets this apart from most headsets near the price.

Sliders on the outside of each cup open and close the bass ports across three positions, so the low end is set by hand rather than buried in software. The bundled mixer puts virtual 7.1, game-to-chat balance and mic monitoring on an inline box instead of in a menu.

Memory foam under breathable leatherette, an aluminium frame, and a detachable noise-cancelling boom. Run the 3.5 mm lead straight into a controller and it works as a plain stereo headset.
