This gaming headset runs on "witchcraft" with a 300 hour battery life, but today's price drop is even more magical

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless has still not been topped for its massive battery life. Sure, fellow best gaming headsets alum like SteelSeries' Arctis Nova Pro Wireless has hot-swappable battery tech, but you still won't find another wireless headset that manages to provide up to 300 hours of playback.

That comes with at a $199.99 premium during a normal day, but today's not a normal day. Today's the start of Amazon's Spring Sale, which means you can now get that unrivaled battery power for $119.99 (Amazon) instead. That saves you $80 to save for a rainy day, and gets you access to not just one of the best headsets with the best battery life, but a wireless pair that's equipped with 2.4GHz, spatial audio, and compatibility with everything from the PS5 to the PC.

Save $80
HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless: was $199.99 now $119.99 at Amazon

As an older headset, the price of the HyperX Alpha Wireless gaming headset fluctuates regularly from its full price to an average of $140.03. However, this is the very first time the pair has dropped as low as $119.99. It gets close to the very holiday sale, but never quite this low.

Buy it if:

✅ You play the PS5/PC/Switch 2
✅ You hate remembering to charge tech
✅ Comfort is key

Don't buy it if:

❌ You need Bluetooth wireless support
❌ You need an Xbox headset

UK: £109.03 at Amazon

In our HyperX Alpha Cloud Wireless review, we noted that the battery "is powered by magic, witchcraft, and the mysteries of the universe" and so far no other headset has managed to rival it. You can grab the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless instead, which has hot-swappable batteries, but you'll still have to remember to switch them out after around 22 hours.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha is a better pick for those who hate remembering to charge their tech and just want to get on gaming. While it's a wireless headset, it doesn't have any Bluetooth support, which is a bit of a bummer. It's fine for use with the PC or PS5, and you just need to pop in the 2.4GHz wireless dongle, and you're good to go. However, if you're looking for a headset for your Nintendo Switch 2, you will need to use this in docked mode or have an adapter at hand.

HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless review

(Image credit: Future/Rob Dwiar)

It's a bit unusual for wireless headsets to have 2.4GHz wireless support and not Bluetooth in tow, but it's easy to look past that when you remember its shockingly good battery life. The pair also sounds fantastic, which is what really matters. In our review, Rob Dwiar noted that the pair "excelled" no matter what was being played and that " every detail was presented beautifully." That's likely thanks to its HyperX Dual Chamber audio drivers, which keep the low, mid, and high frequencies tuned separately to avoid any distortion or warbling.

If you're after a great-sounding wireless headset, only need 2.4GHz, and absolutely hate remembering to charge your tech, this HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless deal is worth grabbing. Just remember, you have until March 31 before it and the rest of Amazon's Spring Sale deals disappear for good.

Hardware Editor

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
