The HyperX Cloud Alpha is hands-down the best gaming headset around right now. It was when it was just over £100 at its initial launch price and now, on the blackest of Fridays, it’s an incredible bargain. So much so that if you spend any money on a gaming headset today please make it this one.
We’ve been trawling through the pages and pages of Black Friday PC deals over the last few days, and will be keeping you updated through to Cyber Monday, but this has been one of the most impressive peripheral deals we’ve come across so far.
The HyperX Cloud Alpha mixes the classic Cloud sound quality with a unique ear cup design that makes it almost feel like an open-back gaming headset without any of the drawbacks. That means it delivers a naturalistic soundscape, while being easy on the ears for an extended gaming session. There’s no sound leakage, and the passive noise isolation remains impressively solid too. In short, it’s a bloody brilliant gaming headset.
You can find this £70 bargain deal over at Amazon UK today, but you might want to get in there quick while there is still stock of this wonderful bit of gaming audio greatness.

That’s obviously not the only great Black Friday deal going down right now, AMD is making a splash with great RX 580 prices and some incredible deals on Ryzen CPUs, from the six-core 2600 to the eight-core 1700 of the last generation.
But there is also a seriously solid bundle for streamers out there too – the SteelSeries Elite Tier Streaming bundle may be £300, but the full kit included was retailing for over £600. That makes it a 51% discount at Overclockers on all the peripherals you could want for streaming.

- Rival 310 Gaming Mouse
- Apex M750 Gaming Keyboard
- Artis Pro + GameDAC amp
- OcUK 3XL Premium Elite Gaming Surface
It’s a lot of cash, but that’s also a lot of very decent gaming kit too.
