And what detail it offers! The boosted bass and lower frequencies make the sound full and rich, and resolve even the tiniest background sounds. The Glary Alpha keeps its detail even in crowded moments. Footsteps around you sound darker than on the strongest mid-focusing headphones, but it's these mid-focusing headsets that can sound too 'hot', annoyingly bright when the action gets going. Unlike many other models, the Alpha doesn't emphasize mid-tones too much. However: the sound quality is the real star of the show. The Alpha has outstanding microphone quality: even though your voice can have an occasional crackle in the highest notes, you sound pleasant, loud, and clear, while background noise is reduced wonderfully.

The Cloud II does an outstanding job separating game sounds from voice chat, however: it's easy to hear them clearly at the same time.Ī thing to note, is that the remote with volume and mute control is only applicable to PC and Mac users as it requires USB and software. Sound positioning is more left-right oriented than it is around you, however - giving the darker sounding Tronsmart Alpha and also the HyperX Cloud Stinger an advantage in competitive multiplayer games. The mids can sometimes be sharp in action moments, but more often, they're pleasant to listen to. The sound quality of the popular Cloud II is stunning, with rich bass, and lovely balanced mids - loud enough to hear footsteps. It does sound very clear though - people will hear you easily. Microphone quality could be better, however: it's too soft out of the box, and once turned up, your voice sounds a tad bright. With the latter, the Cloud II is comfortable for hours on end. It comes with a well-padded headband and two sets of earpads leather-look pads as default, and an extremely soft, comfortable pluche alternative. It has superb build quality, mixing sturdy plastic with sleek metallic parts. The Kingston HyperX Cloud II probably is the most popular gaming headset under $100, and that's for good reason.
