I’m Using The HyperX Cloud Alpha Like a Normal Person
I’m challenging myself to use the HyperX Cloud Alpha as my main audio listening device for the next thirty days, until February 5th. It’s still one of the best $99 headsets you can buy, and I think it’s the only wired model HyperX should be selling at that price point.
They’re about to complicate the situation further by releasing a premium-priced wireless version, and I want to be in the best possible position to review it when it launches.
As a weird independent online reviews person who doesn’t use affiliate links and only rarely gets sent review units, I’ve gathered a small personal collection of gaming headsets and headphones. I use two or three pairs in any given week when I’m not reviewing something, for things like music listening, gaming sessions by myself or with a friend, or my non- writing job of recording voiceover material.
When I am reviewing a new headset, I use that product exclusively for about a week, then write up my full impressions here on Medium. On those occasions where I get an embargoed pre-release product, I don’t always have a full week to test it, and so I kick into marathon mode and try to cram a week’s worth of use into a few days.
