Don’t @ me, but I’m not a gamer. I know — I’m a tech editor. I’m supposed to be geeking out over the upcoming Lost Soul Aside game. But while I’m not an expert in gaming peripherals, I am an expert in the best headphones, which is why the new HyperX wireless gaming headset stood out.

The newly released HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 is a PC gaming headset (with multi-platform compatibility thanks to a 3.5mm headphone jack) with a whopping 250 hours of battery life. In the headphones space, I was freaking out when the Dyson OnTrac debuted with 55 hours of battery life with ANC engaged. With a full charge, that 250 hours gives you 10 full days of gameplay. Since you’ll be taking breaks to eat, sleep, and work, you could go weeks between charges.

However, is the new HyperX wireless gaming headset worth the $299 price of admission? I’ll break it down and explain why the original Cloud Alpha 2 may be the better option for most PC gamers.

Is the HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 worth it?

The new HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 makes a compelling case, and not just because of the impressive battery life.

However, gamers might actually be happier with the HyperX Cloud Alpha 2’s predecessor. As a gaming noob, I’m just now learning that the original Cloud Alpha boasted 300 hours of battery life, though it was only compatible with PC gaming.

The Cloud Alpha 2 also comes with some new tech, including a programmable RGB Base Station, which “is an audio control hub featuring customizable RGB lighting, programmable buttons and macros, seamless device switching, and onboard controls.” The new headset also offers more connectivity options (connect via Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz WiFi) and upgraded drivers. Specifically, the new headset packs 53mm Dual Chamber Drivers complete with spatial audio.

But if you can’t afford the $299 Cloud Alpha 2, you can get the original headset on sale at Amazon for just $142.99. Both versions have double the battery life of competitors. For comparison, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X maxes out at 38 hours, while the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro has a measly 70 hours.
