What customers say about "Key Specs"
HyperX Cloud Alpha Gaming Headset - White/Purple - Limited Edition for PC, PS4 & Xbox One, Nintendo Switch
- The cushioning is great on these headphones-- really comfortable and ergonomic.
Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma V2 Gaming Headset Works with PC & PS4
- Very good job at blocking out background noise.
- I like that it picks up my voice but not background noise.
- The sound and noise-cancellation is great, my fiance and I play sitting next to each other.
- I'm a fan of open back headphones cause they breath better, but don't cancel noise as well.
- The surround sound is completely lost on you once you plug it in and the noise cancellation is awful.
