I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love wireless gaming headsets, but I don’t love how often they have to become wired in order to charge. As such, I was pretty stoked to try out the Glorious GHS InfinitePlay and its hot-swappable battery system earlier this month. Unfortunately, even with 80 hours per battery pack, it didn’t quite impress enough to make it onto our best gaming headsets guide. Besides, you know what’s better than 80 hours of battery life? 300.
In her review, our Hope wrote the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless has a “battery life that can only be described as witchcraft.” It’s certainly none too shabby in many other regards, but an up to 300-hour battery life makes this still the longest-lasting gaming headset we’ve ever tested. Better yet, you can now scoop those many, many, many hours of air time for less as the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is only $115 from Amazon.
That’s right, the king is back and now at its lowest ever price. Besides the beefiest battery, you’re also getting an excellent music listening and gaming audio experience for the cash too. 50 mm drivers deliver clear, crisp sound, and the headset’s directional sound capabilities bring gameplay to a whole new level.
“When playing games the directional sound is also very nice. I was able to easily locate hidden batteries by directional beeps in Deep Rock Galactic, and had a wonderful time bouncing along to the tight beats of Shadow Warrior 3.” Hope writes, “I loaded up some Doom Eternal and promptly terrified myself. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it sounds like having a Cacodemon suddenly show up and whisper sweet blah-things into very specifically your left ear then these can absolutely deliver.”
