    HyperX Cloud Alpha Gaming Headset - Cloud9 Edition for PC, PS4 & Xbox One, Nintendo Switch (HX-HSCAC9-BL)

    • Detachable mic
    • The detachable mic does take a minute to get used to if you're accustomed to flipping up your mic when not using it.
    • The mic shouldn't be this awful
    • I can be a bit soft spoken at times, but I don't think the mic is quite as good as it should be
    • Good sound quality, mic is alittle quiet.
    • Comfy and really good base and mic for its price
    • My other issue is the mic, I wish the boom would flip up out of the way, it's a nice boom, very bendy, not floppy, but the Stinger flips
    • But apart from that I think it's a great mic when it's working properly, although I haven't listened to myself

    • Pros: comfortable, replaceable mic and cordCon: Can hear ringing noise when quite-no worse than other headsets I've had
    • In the end, the sound and mic, as well as the little extras made the Alphas stand out (and made them worth the extra $20).The extras in this case include detachable mic and braided cables (including a shorter cable for console and a good extension for PC) and a nice soft bag
    • But the most important bits are the sound, mic, and the comfort

    • For team FPS games, the mic picks up keystrokes and annoys the teammates, so the mic is not directional
