This is very durable. You can accurately grasp the position of the enemy with a good sound.The mic isn't as loud as a condenser mic, but it's tuned for competition so it's for esports.The dual chamber driver creates a sound with a sense of separation, making it easy to distinguish various sounds.It also comes with a sound card, so if you buy this one, it's perfect.

Pros

  • Bass adjustment sliders
  • Very good durability
  • Very good sound
  • 2 year warranty
  • Abundant accessories
  • Very good cost performance
  • It's cool
  • Very good sound separation
  • Detachable cable

    Los audífonos son cómodos la verdad, el control de graves se nota y el sonido es muy bueno, pero no veo necesario el extensor USB para el 7.1, ya que yo no note un buen 7.1 en los juegos, los compre para reemplazar los Corsair HS50,si, fueron buenos pero si fueras jugador casual recomendaría los Cloud II, porque yo no use para nada el control de graves. Ya si eres un jugador que utiliza discord junto con tus juegos tal vez lo recomendaría para dar mas sonido al chat de voz que al juego, en ese caso tal vez los recomendaria

    Pros

    • Comodos
    • Incluye almohadillas de tela extras

    Cons

    • Cable jack 3.5 corto
    • Si no utilizas discord no veo necesario comprar este modelo
    • Algo tediosos de configurar

    Over-ear

    Over-ear

    The fit of the headset.
    has a detachable cable
    HyperX Cloud Alpha S
    HyperX Cloud II
    With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
    weight

    321g

    350g

    We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
    A long cable ensures more freedom of movement.
    has RGB lighting
    HyperX Cloud Alpha S
    HyperX Cloud II
    RGB lighting allows you to choose between millions of colors and customize the look of your PC components.
    can be folded
    HyperX Cloud Alpha S
    HyperX Cloud II
    Foldable devices are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
    has an open-back design
    HyperX Cloud Alpha S
    HyperX Cloud II
    The device is designed in a way that allows sound to go out through the back of the ear cups, which usually have vents or perforations. This design provides very natural and accurate sound.
    has a tangle free cable
    HyperX Cloud Alpha S
    HyperX Cloud II
    The cable is designed to minimize tangling.
    has stereo speakers
    HyperX Cloud Alpha S
    HyperX Cloud II
    Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.

    Sound quality

    The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
    highest frequency

    27000Hz

    25000Hz

    The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
    has active noise cancellation (ANC)
    HyperX Cloud Alpha S
    HyperX Cloud II
    This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
    The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
    sound pressure level

    99dB/mW

    98dB/mW

    Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
    impedance

    65 Ohms

    60 Ohms

    Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
    has a neodymium magnet
    HyperX Cloud Alpha S
    HyperX Cloud II
    Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
    has passive noise reduction
    HyperX Cloud Alpha S
    HyperX Cloud II
    The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
    A speaker driver is an individual transducer that converts electrical energy to sound waves. More drivers may result in better sound quality.

    Microphone

    has a noise-canceling microphone
    HyperX Cloud Alpha S
    HyperX Cloud II
    These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
    The lowest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording bass.
    highest mic frequency

    18000Hz

    18000Hz

    The highest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording treble.

    mic sensitivity

    -38dBV/Pa

    -39dBV/Pa

    It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
    More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
