Whether pro or aspiring amateur, serious gamers need to spend hours upon hours locked into their titles of choice, and the Cloud Alpha headphones from HyperX make that task far more comfortable than it might have been previously. The performance gaming headphones are specifically designed to be worn for hours at a time, offering up mellifluous tones without the hot points that can accrue on many other headphones.

The Cloud Alpha headphones are priced in the mid-range category, yet their specs belie that price point. With aluminum hinges, 50mm dual chamber drivers, leatherette ear pads, and a braided cable, the headphones wouldn't be out of place in a group with luxury competitors.

HyperX's newest headphones are sponsored by pro gamers Mickie from team EnvyUs, Daigo "The Beast" Umehara, and Shox from team G2.
