help HyperX Cloud Alpha S FAQ

What is the difference between the HyperX Cloud Alpha and the Cloud Alpha S?

The Alpha S builds upon the original Cloud Alpha by adding a custom 7.1 surround sound EQ slider directly on the ear cup, which allows users to tweak bass and mid levels. The S model also includes external USB sound card controls and adjustable bass sliders.

What are dual-chamber drivers in the Cloud Alpha S?

HyperX engineered these drivers to separate the bass frequencies from the mids and highs into different chambers. This acoustic separation results in less audio distortion and provides much cleaner sound compared to traditional single-chamber drivers.

Does the HyperX Cloud Alpha S have 7.1 surround sound?

Yes, the headset features virtual 7.1 surround sound, but it is processed via the included USB dongle rather than being built into the headset natively. This feature is highly useful for spatial awareness in competitive PC gaming.

Are the ear cups on the HyperX Cloud Alpha S replaceable?

Yes, the headset utilizes HyperX's signature swappable ear cup design, allowing users to easily remove the leatherette memory foam pads. You can replace them with premium velour ear cups if you prefer a cooler, more breathable feel during long gaming sessions.
