![]() especially because the red cable is tangle free and won't get too wrapped up around itself. Want to swap over to mobile or the Steam Deck? No problem. However, it does mean that you won’t be able to communicate with team-mates online.Īlthough they were originally created to go up against Nintendo Switch headsets, the HyperX Cloud Earbuds will work very nicely indeed with anything featuring a 3.5mm jack. That’s because the dongle is focused on providing low-latency audio, so there is minimal disruption between what’s happening in your game and what you’re hearing. While they do come with an in-built microphone, this only works when you’re connected through Bluetooth, rather than the USB-C dongle. On top of that, they also support Bluetooth, so you can sync them with any device that supports it. They come with a USB-C dongle, allowing you to plug them into your Nintendo Switch and PS5, as well as a cable that will allow you to plug the dongle into a PS4. Plus, a charging case comes with the GTW 70 Hybrid that can give the earbuds up to a total of 20 hours of battery life. These earbuds boast the sort of audio quality you’d expect from the team at EPOS, with deep bass, rich mid-tones, and fantastic directional audio making them as impressive playing games on your Switch or PS5 as they are listening to your favourite tunes through your phone. These let you cut the cord but don't skimp on sound quality. ![]() Still unsure of whether earbuds are for you? Don't forget to take a look at our recommendations for the best wireless gaming headsets. Ranging from affordable to expensive, there's an option for every budget, with a mix of wired and wireless earbuds depending on your preference. So if versatility, affordability, portability, and comfort are as important to you as quality sound, we've rounded up a few contenders that are the perfect candidates for the job. The Cloud Alpha Wireless is available now for $200.While you're more likely to get regular day-to-day use out of the best gaming earbuds than you would with top-of-the-line headphones, ultimately, they could save you a lot of money compared to a dedicated gaming headset that's not going to get much use outside of your sessions. However, admittedly, many of the best gaming buds don't pack the same level of sound quality as the larger best gaming headsets, which can result in a less immersive experience especially given the lack of virtual surround sound.Įarbuds also tend to be less ostentatious than over-ear headphones, so much so that even the offerings from gaming brands are subtle and stylish, which can't be said for their headphone counterparts. And if you often find that you forget to charge your headset, the battery life here is unrivaled. We'd put it right up there with the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ and a pair of Razer headsets ( BlackShark V2 Pro and Kaira Pro). HyperX's Cloud Alpha Wireless rivals a few of the other best PS5 headsets. The PS5 only has DTS technology for Blu-ray playback, though. It also has DTS Headphone:X spatial audio, which can provide pinpoint audio for supported games on PC. The Cloud Alpha Wireless is equipped with dual-chamber audio drivers, which produce a rich and clear sound that rivals other top-of-the-line gaming headsets we've tested. It retains the familiar black and red color design and look of previous Cloud Alpha headsets, including a detachable microphone so it doesn't get in the way when you're not using voice chat. One downside is that the headset doesn't have Bluetooth and you can't use a wired connection since it lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack. Since it uses a 2.4Ghz dongle, you can also connect it wirelessly to Nintendo Switch. The Cloud Alpha Wireless is listed as compatible with PC and PlayStation (both PS5 and PS4). ![]() After roughly 200 hours of playback, the headset still had 20 percent of juice according to HyperX's proprietary software. While I didn't try to game for 300 hours, I did leave the headset on-playing audio from a game menu-to put the battery to the test. That said, I tested the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless over the past couple of weeks and I've yet to charge it. Settings such as volume level can of course affect the in-practice battery life. It's worth noting that, like all battery life figures, this is an "up to" figure. ![]()
