Gaming headsets are evolving. There was once a time when gaming headsets were pretty much wired-only - but now we're slowly but surely seeing great wireless headsets - like the Astro A50 and the new new SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth .

I purchased this headset for communications purposes rather than gaming. This was done after a study of specifications and ability to perform well over the voice range. I am more than satisfied with my purchase. Purchase on-line was very easy and delivery of product was very fast. Top marks PBTECH.

The Kingston HyperX Cloud Alpha is a very good wired gaming headset. It doesn't do anything fancy, but its excellent build quality and strong audio performance make it a compelling purchase.

Comfortable, solid design; Good audio quality; Includes two cables and a carrying bag

Lacks high-end finesse

They are re-branded Takstar Pro's with a mic attachment. Very good pair of headphones for the price, readily available and frequently on sale even here in Canada.

Good Value; Comfortable; Great Bass; Good Cables; Many attachments; Good Build Quality

Mids feel weak at low volume

The HyperX Cloud Flight is Kingston's first stab at the wireless gaming headset market. It doesn't have the advanced virtual surround sound or flashy visuals of many other headsets in the £100 price point, but it more than makes up for this by offering an astounding 30-hour maximum battery life.

Great battery life; Comfortable fit; Solid audio and voice chat; Easy setup

No surround sound; Feels a little cheap

You knew it was coming eventually: A wireless HyperX headset. I’m surprised it took so long. I’ve seen probably half a dozen different HyperX headset models cross my desk in the last few years—the original Cloud and its USB-enabled Cloud II follow-up, the floating headband Revolver and Revolver S models, the budget-friendly Stinger, the dual-chamber Cloud Alpha—but all wired, until now.

HyperX’s debut wireless headset is missing some key features, like chat mix and microphone monitoring, but it looks good, sounds great, and feels excellent. Another contender for our $150 headset pick.

Audio is clean and well-balanced; Incredible noise isolation, even at moderate volumes; Comfortable, with intuitive built-in controls;

No software means few options for enthusiasts; Microphone is passable, but nothing special; Expensive compared to the competition;

Kingston may have channeled their inner Frank Sinatra when they made the HyperX Cloud Revolver, as the result leaves them singing with confidence, "I did it my way!"

The HyperX Cloud Flight offers great sound and long battery life, with a wonderfully lightweight and cozy design.

Incredibly lightweight and cozy; Strong overall sound quality; Crisp microphone

Fairly bland design

Comfortable design; Detachable microphone; Great tonal balance; Crisp audio;

Lack of Bluetooth; Performance issues; Not enough features to justify price;

If you want good battery life, comfortable design and are satisfied with decent sound quality, these might fit the bill. Unfortunately, without any virtual surround sound or noise-cancellation tech, the HyperX Cloud Flight headphones make the jump to wireless but lose something in the process.

Battery life; Comfortable design

Audio quality a weakpoint; Noise pollution an issue
