Our quick verdict
A very good wireless gaming headset with an enormous battery life, a comfortable fit and the handy ability to use 2.4GHz and Bluetooth at the same time. Music sound is only average and the software is still basic, but for long gaming sessions it’s excellent.
Great for
- Long gaming sessions
- PC and console players
- Chatting on Discord or your phone while gaming
Skip it if
- You mainly want headphones for music
- You game on the move (the base station suits desks)
The HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless is the follow-up to the popular Cloud Alpha, with a desktop base station, dual wireless and a massive battery life.
Key features
- Up to 250 hours of battery
- 2.4GHz and Bluetooth at the same time
- 53mm dual chamber drivers
- RGB base station with programmable buttons
What reviewers say
Tom’s Hardware called it a very good successor to the Cloud Alpha, praising the dual wireless, comfort, convenient base station and long battery life, with strong positional audio for games.
It found music performance weak for the price, the software still in beta, and the base station best suited to desktop users.
