Final Thoughts
The headset is comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and is easily adjusted to fit your head easily. There are additional ear cushions included in the box you can use for even more comfort. The headset itself is very hard wearing so it can take a beating!
The sound quality through the headphones is excellent, there are even adjustment sliders for the bass if you feel you want to adjust it – there are three different levels you can choose from. The virtual 7.1 surround sound really works well because of NGENUITY which auto-detects supported games and selects the best sound profile.
The audio mixer is very easy to use and provides a great balance between in game audio and chat, you can also adjust those yourself if you have a preference and it’s easy to do in the middle of a game too.
The noise cancelling microphone is detachable which means you can easily remove it and it doesn’t get in the way when you are not using it. It also works very well, even in a fairly noisy room. The headset is also Discord and TeamSpeak certified too.
The carry bag is useful to keep your headset and all it’s bits safe when carrying it around or storing it when you are not using it.
If you are in the market for a high quality 7.1 surround sound gaming headset for the your PC then you need to have a listen to the Cloud Alpha S, it may just be your next purchase.
