HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless

“# Wireless Gaming Guide (Premade Message) THIS IS NOT AN AUTO MESSAGE FROM A BOT! This is just a premade simple guide that I send. Please feel free to reply with any questions you may have. Wireless Gaming while under the sound styles is not a sound style but just a bonus guide. ALL LATENCY, BATTERY LIFE, AND RANGE INFO IS NOT ONLY ON THE EXTERNAL LINK BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T FIT HERE. Link to the complete Sound Styles spreadsheets on my site (Check this for the most up to date info): [Link](https://lifelongcaboosereviews.blogspot.com/p/guides.html) [OLD Reddit guide for more info on some of these (CLICK THIS LINK TO VIEW THE EDITED OLD GUIDE)](https://www.reddit.com/r/LifelongCaboose/comments/kq00im/12a_lifelongcabooses_wireless_gaming/) **Index (READ FIRST)** 1. **Wireless Gaming:** If you are not willing to sacrifice quality for wireless then turn away now. But if you for your own reason need wireless and are willing to sacrifice value and quality then this list will have the best of the worse options for you. But know that your options will be limited and don't expect to be able to get amazing "Pure FPS" performance or amazing tonal balance out of any of these. 2. **Alpha Value:** This is the Alpha Version of my grade ranking for headphones. This will change over time. 3. **Grades:** You will see every headphone/headset has two grades. The **1st Grade** being its **Tonal Grade**, this is the grade for how well its sound signature is tonally balanced. The **2nd Grade** is its **Tech Grade**, so all things outside of the frequency response, staging, imaging, separation, detail, dynamics, etc. 4. **PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE CLOSED-BACK RANKS WITH OPEN-BACK ONES AT THIS TIME!** 5. **Rankings are not everything:** Which is why Notes and Sound Signatures are important, but you must view the full guide to see those. 6. **Sound Signature VS Sound Style:** Sound Signature is the tuning of the frequency response. Sound Style is my term for the different categories I put headphones in for gaming. 7. **EQ/VSS:** If you need to use some light eq to help, go for it just be careful. Maybe even Virtual Surround Sound(VSS) if you can't position with stereo. I don't recommend VSS but some need it. 8. **External USB/XLR Mic:** If you plan to buy an XLR/USB mic for gaming please consider a Dynamic mic, it will cancel out background noise better. (Don't buy a Yeti/quadcast/snowball) 9. **IMPORTANT:** Names with a bold **<X>** at the end of their name mean I don't recommend these that highly but may be good for the right person. 10. **IMPORTANT:** Wireless headsets have a lower lifespan and are not as easy to repair meaning once there dead they become E-Waste. 11. **Wired Use:** If they offer a passive out it will not only sound worse than the wireless connection but also worse than a true wired version. 12. **Latency:** Ideally you want below 60ms. Under 35ms is pretty much latency-free. Under 60ms is low latency. Under 110ms is ok for casual use. Over that is bad”
