HyperX’s latest wireless gaming headset has 300 hours of battery life

Gaming accessory manufacturer HyperX showed off its latest suite of products at CES 2022, which includes new mice, keyboards, and controllers. The star of the show is the Cloud Alpha Wireless headset, which features 300 hours of battery life.

HyperX says that the Cloud Alpha is the first wireless gaming headset to offer a single charge up to 300 hours. The newly redesigned headset also features 50mm drivers that are lighter than the wired Cloud Alpha headset. Like other HyperX headsets, it’ll include memory foam ear cups, a detachable microphone, and onboard audio controls.
