Well said.
@The Techne which ones sound the best these,the flight s or Artics 7, or the regular Artics pros.
@@KryptikViper IS IT BASICALLY CLOUD ALPHA+7.1 SOUND?
Let's all be honest this is the best KZhead channel for reviews. He is honest and joyful and that's why we all come here although 99% of us cannot afford half of the stuff we watch him review
thank you so much
Totally
Not the best but still pretty good
@@TheTechne Should I get these or the mh 751 or sennheiser gsp 300
ikr he is
12:01 mic test

@@riteishpandya388 MUCH BETTER BY 3.5, BUT NEED SPLITTER?
Thanks ma dude
Reasons I click on this, 1. Techne is the best reviewer, 2. Hyper X made a headset without the red logo
3. Techne said: "must see"
the stinger wireless has no red logo also.
Peter Woodaman true ! but they never didn’t put a red logo on most of their headsets. They’ve been moving away from the red though for example, Hyper X Revolvers, Hyper X Mix, etc.
0TV0 z It really was a great review!
i wish there was an option with a red logo, it would look great with my setup
I really like this review. Unlike other tech reviewers, you explain EVERYTHING. You said everything that can be said, which is what I needed! Thank you for the super helpful review.
Just got this headset today and am loving it so far!
Congrats, from 10k to 150k. You were mentioned by RAZER in their black shark review video. You have grown alot.
Hey, another great video yet again! STINKIN AWSOME
just wanted to say Im a big brazilian fan so I dont really know how to choose words to describe you but this is just the best review channel Ive ever seen, pls keep doing this bro, you’re the best love you man
You just got to appreciate Techne chill voice and his vibe.
I’ve been waiting for this thank you 🙏
thank you for watching
I appreciate these reviews more than most. He actually goes in depth.
im glad you made this review, thank you!
I saw your videos on the Alloy Elite 2 and Pulsefire Surge before buying them, yesterday I saw your videos comparing diferent Hyperx headsets and now this one is on the way. Love your content!
papa techne is so fun to watch he is always so happy when reviewing good products
Bought arctis 1 during my research , but still watching techne headset reviews :D ,
Let’s go, another Techne review!
Very helpful on my quest to find what headset I want. Great content, just subbed!
Bro he’s grown a lot, keep the grind up !
Cant wait for u to hit 500k man, amazing reviews. Bought them cuz of u. Amazing headset 0 regrets
Been watching since 5k subs and you deserve way more than 66k subs. Actually the best reviewer out there!
Great review, I did hear on the mic test a few P and T's pops
Yoo, i found your channel while I was on the hunt for a headset in the $100 range. I had so many options to choose from and I had a hard time choosing between them as I further researched them. Then I found this headset on sale on HyperX's own website for $99 during the weekend and bought them. Glad to know that wearing glasses with these on won't be a big inconvenience.
Does it feel good?
Love the videos I always get excited I watch them.
your reviews is so on point glad to see you in my suggestion and bought alpha s sounds so good
Your videos make my day as you are so enthusiastic thank you so much
thank you :)
Thx for your reviews i was doubting with the hyperx alpha pro and arctis 5 i got the arctis 5 because it was on sale and it is one of the best gaming headsets i’ve used also really nice
from 800ish subs to 67k, good job!! the grind is real
Just in time!! Great vid man 👍🏻
Wow this guy deserves way more subs. Great channel!
I have the Alpha S paired with Sound Blasterx G6. Both together make it a great gaming headset! I use this on the PS4, which the G6 supports game/chat mix with the new update firmware.
What the... I just ordered it mine yesterday, then this morning you publish the review LOL, subscribed because I have good feeling about it!
Did you like them?
@@missbeaussie yes.
Yeaaaaah.. Even just the caption of the video really makes me feel if the product is good or not.. 😊 we believe in your honest thoughts..
Nice I need a headset so I’ll look into this... THANKS TECHNE LOVE YUH! :)
Thank you so much I was one that said to review this. I got mine the other day :) amazing content !!!!👌
how do you like them? The really shocked me!
@@TheTechne bro they are amazing for me they kinda feel like noise canceling headphones but idk very comfy. I wear glasses so I thkught it would hurt me but no so nice. I use these for music when i study then start gaming.
@@TheTechne thanks so much for reviewing them
Can you get the mic working on ps4?
Cloud alpha S is shipping now to me. Thanks for this review!!!
Thanks for review techne ❤️
thank you for watching
The sportsweave ear pads that come inside are my absolute favorite pads right now. Perfect density and keep your ears cool even after hours of gaming
@BiG Wiz shown in video ;)
@BiG Wiz they are a pain the change out, I would just pick one that you like or only switch it up every once and a while just be careful you do have to stretch them to make them fit.
You got yourself a new subscriber. Amazing review!!! greetings from Mexico. :)
Really enjoyed this review foo
Just another awesome review! Do you recommend these over the Flight S? My ears usually overheat in headsets and I would love to prevent that in future (I mainly play PS4)
what a great review. you earned my like and subscribe. Please keep doing more informative videos. Goodluck!!
Great review. I really like how these look. But the bass slider could of been better. At max setting could of had a bit more bass. But they do have a really clean look with the all black.
True
You do a amazing job road to one mill
thank you
This is so helpful! Thanks!!!!!!
thank you for watching
Love your vids brother you are crushing it.😁❤️❤️
thank you
I love your videos keep up the good work
thank you so much
Between the cloud alpha s, the new g pro headset and the coolermaster mh752 which would you recommend for mixed usage?
i love how astro a40s are more square than circle like with the ear cushions and there is a kind of thicker piece bit on the drivers than other headphones in the same material.
hi i always watch all of your reviews. One thing i must say you always prefer 3.5 over those external soundcard they offer. Ya i agree virtual 7.1 is useless. But those usb sound card has more omph than our typical budget motherboard sound delivery. We need the external sound card in order to make the headphone louder, more detailed and wider soundstage. So ya, external sound card is a nice bonus for us pc users who does not own any external dac.
I’m loving this headset and I was surprised about your take on the 7.1 I absolutely need it turned on it sounds way better
I love the 7.1 on this headset too. I play Warzone and it sounds so much better with the 7.1 on than off, it's like a totally different game. Best headset I could've bought
Can you use that on ps4? I was confused about which console you can and cannot use it on.
Juan Molina I think you have to download a firmware and then you can use the 7.1 connected via usb to your ps4. I am not totally sure though
Guess I should have waited a few more weeks for the alpha s v cloud 2 comparison. Splurged on the cloud 2 based on your previous video. Hopefully I'm not missing out on much from the alpha s.
So I messed around with the bass sliders after seeing your video because I was using the highest setting. I do like the middle setting, but did you know that you can open the largest hole halfway. This I found keeps the clarity while allowing the bass to hit while keeping the mids tight. I recommend you try this hidden setting.
How do you do it?
HOW DO YOU DO IT !?!?!
Just slide the notch halfway between where it clicks. It will stay and cover half of the largest hole.
thanks for the review
Love your videos man very informative & helpful although I’m in the market for some new headphones for my PS4 I mainly play call of duty warzone and I am looking for the best headphones when it comes to listening footsteps and positioning enemies. What’s your recommendation of best PS4 headphone.
Keep up the work your doing great
thank you so much
Your Welcome thx so much for acknowledging my comment it made my day
@@timeboundtales1 your comment made my day :)
Same with me :)
Hi did you ever experience a static sound coming from the cloud alpha s game output channel while using the sound card for a short duration? I just bought my new alpha s and it happens sometimes although it doesn’t happen while using the alpha s chat output channel. Is it some driver issue because it also doesn’t happen while I use the 3.5 mm jack directly. Love your reviews btw.
Hey Techne, Love the videos! extremely helpful. However, as a PS4 gamer, just wondering on what your recommendations are for the best headset for FPS? hearing really mixed things about surround sound and that stereo is better. What do you think and what headphones do you recommend for ps4 for FPS? Cheers!
Hey, would u recommend them over the cloud alpha? Sound quality for gaming stricly talking. Stereo mode only. I read the especifications and both have the same driver size and frequencies.
Can you review the hyper x cloud mix? Also I recommend the cloud 2 sound card if you're gonna use it on ps4.
I actually find that the 7.1 helps me locating sources of sounds on WZ like footsteps and fire. I previously used the separate dongle with the PS Clouds and that sounded kinda odd. I do like the Cloud Alpha S better with the 7.1
I notice my headset audio sounds like it is in a bottle do you know a fix?
@@These66 Brok the bottle
What’s your top 3 headsets for warzone when it comes to hearing footsteps?
Hey great review, I’m actually thinking about buying these for my xbox! But one thing I am wondering is if I went onto the hyperx website and bought the 3.5m jack with the mute and volume rocker would these still work?
he is such a creative person man, no doubt idk how he doesn’t have a mil on his channel what are you doing sub to his channel man
Please help I don't know what to choose: Razer blackshark v2x or CoolerMaster MH630 or is it worth paying more for the Alpha S? Techne, your videos are great! Thanks!
Hey Techne, is the Corsair HS50 Pro a good option at around 85 AUD ~55 USD? Also I've thinking about the Razer Kraken X, going at the same price, which one is the better option?
Hey man, I loved the review. I have actually considered this headset for a while now and this was just what I needed. I look forward to see the comparasing between the two headsets, because my friends have the cloud two. You are very good. When will the comparing video be oploaded? Thx for the vid :))
no idea on the upload. I have a few vids pending in front
The Techne so should I just buy it? The comparing is just the last thing I need , but if it’s far away, should I then just buy it?
Hey you got another subscriber, you are explain really well and I love watching you with my sketchy English anyway :) I wondering what do you think about the Eksa e9000 pro? It looks really good for $ 40.Thank you.
Bought them already glad I did
Nice video, you encouraged me to buy these at the end of the day. After about a year of having these beauties I must say that I am not able to use them with the usb adapter that they bring, I feel that it loses too much quality of sound so I resorted to buying a 3.5 mm extender and I do not regret anything, the sound Of the headphones itself it is very good and with a 3.5 mm connector I feel that it highlights everything that for some reason the usb adapter kills.
without a doubt, best tech reviewer, keep it up ✌✌✌
thank you so much
Hey! I have a question: I want to buy a new headset for PC for around €50, I thought the Arctis Steelseries 1 was a good buy (currently €51) but in your review of this headset you said that you might wanna look on to a different headset for the pc and that the Steelseries 1 is good for concole but not so much for PC, why is that? Thanks in advance!
im getting this headset lol your vid awesome bro
I own the first series Alphas, my favorite pair and very well built.
will you upgrade?
@@tylancarino2959 you asking me if i will upgrade? Naw im happy with them.
I just bought these and I was wondering do you prefer the Pleather ear cuffs or the Cushion ones for sound quality? I have the pleather ones on now and debating if I should switch or not.
Love the video @The Techne, could you do a video of the best budget wireless mouse in 2020. Im trying to buy a new wireless mouse, but am on a budget. I have 19cm by 9cm hands and Im still very much growing. I have a hard time finding a mouse that can fit my hand size and my palm grip for a reasonable size. Thanks
Great content, keep up the good work.
thank you
@@TheTechne Np
Bought HyperX Cloud Alpha S yesterday, i love it! Amazing sound and comfort, mic is good. Perfect headset for me!
Bass is great??
can u tell me whether they sound good on ps4 or not....and also whether the sound card works on not......plz tell me how do these perform on warzone
@@vaibhavjoshi7756 i use them on pc
@@aby9x BASS is so fucking good, u can adjust it with slider
@@cakanac7555 Is the sound loud enough?
*What headset would you recommend for 'around' the $100 Mark?* I would be using them on my iPad Pro to play Pubg and COD. I've been looking at Steelseries Arctis 3, 5 and 7. Your review of these Cloud Alphas have got me interested though. Are there other great competitors?
Best reviews on KZhead 😁👍🏽
thank you so much
I bought these on amazon last night. Had my cloud 2s for 3 years, and it was time to upgrade.
how is it?
Which one is better ?
Hey can you do a review on the corsair hs70 pro i like how you review your headsets and i would like to see your opinion on them.
What’s up Techne love your vids
No much, and thank you
Hey man great video! But all in all, would you say the sound (quality) is better on the Alpha S than the Alpha or is it the same? Now that they include the sliders maybe gives it a "three" quality option in terms of base.
I dont know if you still need help but i tried my cloud alpha s with the slider open and closed and it makes a big difference. Explosions in games feel much more real and theres more bass
I have this headset since April and it's amazing.
how its going now? i want that headset
@@hanselleonardoperalta7290 hi bro. So far so good. Very good sound quality. Footsteps. Bass. I'm using it at series x with Dolby atmos and it's amazing. For me is super worthy
@@Polis_Polok thanks for the information bro, i already bought it, i play csgo, but when i'm working i usually listen to music and watching movies sometimes
Do you think that there will be a lightweight mouse with 3 side buttons anytime soon? Like the g502? But just the 3 side ones
Dang I’m early you are the best
Love to see these reviews. But one question is your full time job , youtube?
Bro normally I would be upset about a big ad, but this helped quite a bit actually. I have an eye appointment 2 days from now. Im getting new glasses. Normally just the frames cost 100+ but now I get the whole thing for around that, plus 10% off.
lol, awesome! man I'm serious here, yes it is an ad plug, but I truly and honestly love and use their products daily. I actually put up my Oakley glasses and use these now.
Hey, I'm buying these but I am a little confused on the software part. I have dolby access so would I still need to plug in the USB to experience the 7.1? Will its software override my Dolby Access? Or should I just buy a stereo headset and use dolby? Thanks!
Jbl quantum 300/400 please! Then VS this. Great review btw!
When he hits 100k subs, I’m here to say I was here before 30k subs! ❤️❤️❤️
Faxxxx
Saaameee!!!
I was here since around 25k
not saying its a competition but was here at 10k subs
Well, you can now say it :^)
If you had to choose between the Astros A40 TR and these, which would you choose? There are almost no comparison reviews between these two so I am very comflicted.
This dude should have a million subs
I've been using the Cloud 2's for over 2 years now and i like them very much but unfortunately i've dropped them and they are starting to fail :(, after watching your review im thinking on buying the Alpha S, do you know if there is a better option around the same price (G Pro X?) or is this headset the one to go? Awesome Review btw!
love this videos nice!!!
thank you
i'v ben watching your videos and boyy ez sub love your videos, best
Would you recommend an amp for this headset? Would it make a big difference in sound quality? And which Amp would you recommend if so?
Friend, how different is this headset compared to a Astro40 or a Senhaiser, for example?
The hollow sound is to hear enemy foot steps better. I learned that from my turtle beach headsets.
