Save up to 42% on the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless, the headset whose battery will outlast your interest in most games
Longer life for less in the Amazon Spring Sale
It’s pricier than most gaming headsets, but the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is a belter. I know because I have one, and have given it primary ear-tickling duty for long enough that it’s got all the wear and tear you can probably see in that picture up there. Also, there’s good news on the money front: it’s currently dropping in the Amazon Spring Sale, especially in the UK, where it’s down to a very agreeable £110. That’s 42% off its RRP, and an awful lot less then it was when I got mine.
The equivalent US deal isn’t quite so enthusiastic with the price shears, though $200 to $143 is still a decent cut on a headset that’s supremely comfortable and richer than most on powerful, bassy sound output. The real reason to get one of these, mind, is its borderline sci-fi battery life. HyperX say a full charge yields 300 hours of uptime, but I’m certain mine has managed more than that. Can’t even remember the last time I charged it, really. I wanna say... Novemberrrrr?
UK deal:
 | HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless£110 (was £190) |
US deal:

Personally, the only catch of the Cloud Alpha Wireless has been how much it shows up the other wireless peripherals I use. My usual gamepad and the RPS test rig’s mouse are both battery-powered, and having to refill them multiple times per single headset recharge does, honestly, make me resent them just a bit. Be warned if you too are prone to playing out some kind of silly Flowers for Algernon retelling with PC gaming peripherals; otherwise, go for it.
