The new headset is available now for $200 through HyperX's website.
Like many of the best gaming headsets, the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless can create a virtual 3-D soundscape to immerse players into games.
The headset features a detachable microphone that's certified for Discord and TeamSpeak, which of course also works with other programs as well as games. An LED indicator on the mic shows if it is muted or enabled. The microphone is also noise-canceling to reduce background noise.
