HyperX Cloud Alpha OR HyperX Cloud Revolver

[Jhaz]

Found a good deal for the Revolvers at 80$ while the Cloud Alpha's price is 100$. Which has better sound? And should I sacrifice 20$ for the Cloud Alphas?

Just get the regular Cloud or Cloud 2. The Revolver isn't any better, it's even a bit worse. I haven't tried the Alphas but they might be a bit better than the regular Cloud/Core/2 which does not justify their price difference. Make sure to connect it with a decent source, they have an impedance of 60 Ohms. I'd recommend Asus Xonar DGX.

Sound card is an amp and a dac anyway on top of that they have a high output impedance that can adds distortion.

If u want a better sounds cloud alpha is a bit better than the Cloud but its too expensive imo.

Get regular cloud or better Ath m40x.

I do recommend an external amp/dac combo too, I mentioned the Xonar DGX because it works for the Cloud and the DGX+Cloud combo comes under Cloud Alpha when it comes to price.

 

For the headphones/headsets in the range... Zeos

I'm worried that the sound quality of the Cloud Alphas won't be as good as the Tritton Pro+ I've been using for the past few years, mainly because the Pro+ uses optical and the Clouds are only analogue. Anybody have any experience with that? I mainly use it for console, but will use for some laptop stuff as well. I was thinking a dac/amp combo would be a good option. Maybe the DAC X6 as mentioned by Zeos?
