What you can’t miss in the specification is frequency response. Typical human ear can’t process much below 20Hz or above 20kHz while the Cloud Alpha is offering range between 13Hz and 27kHz. I could say it’s not true but when you listen to high quality records then you will clearly hear the difference between the Cloud Alpha and any standard headsets.
About sound I will tell you more on the next page of this review while now let’s focus on what we get in the box.
Package of the Cloud Alpha is similar to what we could see in last HyperX products. It simply looks great and it feels great while unpacking. The headset isn’t cheap so it deserves good package.
Everything is well described so if you buy this product in a store then you can check what to expect inside. However I guess that most of us are buying electronics online and those who are interested in a gaming products will browse the web before they buy anything. HyperX website has also nice description of the Cloud Alpha.
Inside the box we will find everything we need to use our new headset. There is short manual but I guess it won’t be hard to use it. There are also two cables, one to connect headset and one as extension as you may need it if your PC stands on the ground.
Everything seems perfect so let’s take a closer look on the next page.
