HyperX has taken the wraps off its Cloud Alpha wireless gaming headset at the CES 2022 event. Although touted as gaming-oriented headphones, they could interest someone who is into content streaming as well. HyperX is claiming that these headsets can last for an astonishing 300 hours on a single charge, which most in this category fail to achieve. However, it will make you wait for a long 4.5 hours before it recharges fully. The company says the headphones are just marginally heavier when compared to the previous model.

HyperX Cloud Alpha Features, Specifications
The HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless gaming headset is equipped with 50mm drivers with neodymium magnets. The dual-chamber drivers are said to be slimmer and lighter than the wired variant but promise to maintain the sound quality. The headset weighs 322 grams by itself and 335 grams with the microphone attached. The earcups are made of premium quality faux leather and have memory cushions for comfort and perfect sound isolation. It provides a 15Hz to 21KHz frequency response and an impedance of 63 Ohms. The headset supports DTS Headphone X spatial audio, which provides enhanced surround sound.
The microphone is removable and indicated via LED when it is in mute mode. HyperX says it is a 6mm Electret condenser microphone that is bi-directional and supports noise-cancelling. The microphone will deliver a 50 Hz to 7.2 kHz frequency response. The HyperX Cloud Alpha headphones come with a wireless range of up to 20 metres over a 2.4 GHz connection.
