A lot of that has to do with the volume you're running the headset at, and volume is probably my only real complaint. That impressive battery life is, of course, a best-case scenario.

I have been using this thing for gaming and music listening pretty consistently for the past week and we aren't even at 50% battery yet. I spent a workday listening to music and checked the battery again: I swear it still said 80%.

Out of the box, this unit was reporting having about 80% charge, so I decided to leave it there to see how well that held. It's a pretty massive feat and I feel HyperX has pulled it off. You're looking at up to 300 hours of battery life in wireless mode while still keeping the headset relatively light and comfortable.

The biggest drawcard for this headset is the new huge battery. We all love it on the team and now HyperX has cut the cord on its best pair of cans. The HyperX Cloud Alpha is perhaps the most praised thing to exist on this site.

They use the same drivers, but use a lag-free wireless connection, with a great battery life. There's only one reason I no longer use them as my daily drivers, and that's the arrival of the wireless version, the rather more expensive BlackShark V2 Pro (opens in new tab). I'm also a big fan of the restrained design of the headset, and I've found them to comfortable enough to wear for marathon gaming sessions. They're like a tribute to HyperX's own design, and no worse for it.įor me, the sound is one of the stand-out features of the BlackShark V2, and is far and above what you will get with most other sets in this price point.

The result is a richer sound than a standard set, and keeps it on par with HyperX's 50mm dual-chamber neodymium driver headset.
