After theLogitech G432 dealfrom earlier, let us now consider a more premium option in theAmazon Prime Daysales: namely, the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless. It’s 25% off in both the UK and US, and in the former’s case, doesn’t even need the usual Prime membership; it just happens to have dropped its price on the final day of Amazon’s big event.
No complaints here, of course. The Cloud Alpha Wireless might be expensive ordinarily, but it’s a crackinggaming headset, and the one I use everyday to play games/take meetings/record theEWS podcast/listen to electroswing without my neighbours hearing. Besides its warm, rich, full sound, it’s especially comfortable – a common strength of HyperX headsets, I find – and its battery will last for weeks between recharges. Months, even. Still not sure how it does that. But it does.
My only gripe is that the microphone isn’t as clear as that of, say, the Corsair HS65 Surround. But I still love the Cloud Alpha Wireless, and not just because I play most public multiplayer games in stony silence anyway. It’s otherwise excellent all round, and these discounts cut no small chunk of change off the outlay.
