HyperX has a new headset that adds a unique twist to audio. While most headsets cram drivers into the earcups and call it a day (some of the fancier ones strategically position them for surround sound), HyperX came up with a chambered design for its new Cloud Alpha to separate the bass from the mids and highs.
According to HyperX, this allows the headset to deliver clean, smoother sound that is less distorted and more distinct than it would otherwise be. This is also something that has not been done in the gaming sector before.
“The new HyperX Cloud Alpha is the first gaming headset to include our dual chamber technology to deliver unrivaled sound quality,” said Tyler Needles, global audio business manager for HyperX.
The Cloud Alpha also features custom 50nm neodymium drivers wedged into circumaural, closed-back earcups. Frequency response is rated at 13Hz-27,000Hz.
An aluminum frame with a padded headband comprise the skeleton of the Cloud Alpha. It also has a detachable braided cable with in-line audio controls and a detachable noise cancelling microphone that is both TeamSpeak and Discord certified.
The Cloud Alpha sports multi-platform compatibility with a 3.5mm port. It will be available September 25 for $100.
