    HyperX Cloud Alpha Air Review: Open-back and budget-friendly

    The HyperX Cloud Alpha Air is the brand's first open-back gaming headset. It's lightweight and comfortable, and it sounds very good. But microphone pickup is low, and it doesn't seem to work with the brand's peripheral software (yet).
