Overview

  • The Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless flagship headset uses custom 53 mm drivers with simultaneous 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connections and offers up to 250 hours of runtime, with battery life halving when both modes are active.
  • Included with the Alpha 2 is an RGB Base Station featuring six programmable light-up buttons and a large rotary volume dial for precise desktop control.
  • The Cloud Flight 2 serves as a budget option with replaceable magnetic faceplates, RGB side panels, dual wireless modes and up to 150 hours of battery life with lighting turned off, priced at $129.99 for PC/PlayStation and $139.99 for Xbox and due in October.
  • HyperX introduced two microphones: the SoloCast 2 USB condenser mic at $59.99 with built-in shock mount and pop filter, and the $229.99 FlipCast mic with 32-bit/192 kHz sampling, USB/XLR outputs, noise cancellation and on-mic controls.
  • All specifications and feature claims, including battery runtimes and sound performance, are based on HyperX’s official announcements and await independent verification.
