HyperX Cloud Mix true wireless earbuds MSRP $150.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The HyperX Cloud Mix earbuds are great for gamers with a ton of devices, but they're a bit more expensive than they should be.” Pros Cons Do you need a dedicated set of true wireless earbuds for gaming? HyperX, which is behind some of the best gaming headsets you can buy, thinks so.
In the box, you get the earbuds, a charging case that extends battery life, a silicon shell for the case, and a low-profile USB-C adapter. This adapter is a big deal, allowing you to use the low latency connection across PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and even your phone. HyperX includes an adapteor stand, too, so you don’t need to take up a USB-C port on your PC.These platforms all work with the 2.4GHz connection, but they also work with Bluetooth 5.2, which is built into the Cloud Mix earbuds.
Sound quality Despite the best efforts, the Cloud Mix earbuds still fall victim to the sound issues that are common among in-ear buds. The lack of bass response is what stands out most, with deep bullet hits in Destiny 2 and devastating final blows in Elden Ring not ringing out like I’m used to. The bass is there, but it’s implied, not felt.
An area where the Cloud Mix earbuds really shine is the microphone. There isn’t much noise cancellation, but the mics are still remarkably clear and detailed. You could easily communicate with your team using this mic, which is more than can be said for even some over-ear headsets. They’re not too large, but the bulk at the top might irritate smaller ears. That’s true of most true wireless earbuds, however. The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless still goes a long way to improve comfort with three different tip sizes and a lightweight build that’s not too top-heavy.
