As far as gaming headsets go, 300-hours of battery life is unprecedented. And that's what the new HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless delivers, alongside great audio. A headset you can use for a couple of weeks without charge. Impressive stuff.

A snippet.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless offers up a somewhat incredible 300-hours of battery life, which meant that right out of the box, even after testing for several days, we didn’t need to plug this in for charging. There’s clearly some sort of sorcery going on underneath the cups. Either that or this is the world’s first nuclear-powered headset and HyperX simply forgot to put that bit of information on the product sheet.

Battery life and how much use you can get from a gaming headset without charge is one of the key features to look for in a new pair of over-the-ear gaming cans, and on that front we’re used to seeing most wireless headset battery life sit comfortably in the 20-30 hour range. Bumping that up to 300-hours is a massive leap, even for HyperX, and the result is a gaming headset several steps ahead of the competition in this regard.

So then, the question then becomes one of whether or not this means concessions had to be made in order to have a gaming headset that can chug along for weeks. The answer to that is no, as the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless also features some truly impressive audio - which is in-line with what we’ve been seeing from the hardware maker over the years.
