The HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless headset is quality and convenience rolled into one, but I'm not sure who it's for | Review

Whenever a brand new HyperX headset rears its lovely head, I get pretty excited. The brand has a knack for popping out wireless cups with extraordinary battery life, which can give even the best gaming headsets I've tested a kicking to the curb.

The new HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 Wireless is no different, as it can pump out up a mighty 250 hours of playback, but that's not what's most interesting about this new pair. This new iteration of the Cloud Alpha line features an RGB Base Station, which combines the tech of a 2.4GHz dongle and some quick access buttons for streaming into one device. While a neat addition to the HyperX lineup, its presence drives up the price to $299.99 / £254.99, $100 more than the $199.99 than the older HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless.
