HyperX Unveils Cloud Alpha Air, Its First Open-Back Gaming Headset

HyperX has announced the Cloud Alpha Air, its first open-back gaming headset, at $150 wired-only. It uses 40mm dynamic drivers behind metallic grilles, with ultrasuede earcups and a metal headband. A detachable boom mic, USB-A/C cable options, and NGENUITY software EQ round out the package. Open-back designs let sound pass through, offering a wider soundstage but less isolation.
