First I plugged them into my phone and listened to music. The sound quality for music is pretty nice! Not anything spectacular or mind blowing for music, but what can you expect from a gaming headset?
Let's move on to gaming performance. Wow. These sound great while playing Modern Warfare on Xbox one. I could easily locate my enemies, game noises sounded clear and distinct, the bass was definitely there but not overpowering, and gunfire sounds great.
My buddies immediately noticed the difference in mic quality. I'm coming from the Turtle Beach Stealth 600s. Those had mediocre sound quality at best, and the mic was absolute garbage. My team mates could never hear me while speaking normally, so I would have to yell into the mic if I wanted to be heard. But with the Alphas my teammates heard me loud and clear every time. They never had to ask me "what?", And I never got flat out ignored because I wasn't even heard.
Since I'm gaming on the Xbox one, I'm not able to purchase and use the Dolby 7.1 surround sound adapter that you can buy for these, but I found a solution. By purchasing Dolby Atmos surround sound audio for $15, and then enabling them in the Xbox settings for headphones, I was able to get full virtual surround sound out of these.
And as the name implied, these feel just like a cloud sitting on top of your head. The ear cushions are extremely soft and made out of leatherette. The head band has quite a bit of soft, comfortable padding that sits comfortably on the top of your head. Honestly you hardly notice these are even on your head. The only con that some people may find with these in terms of comfortability is that due to the earpads being made out of fake leather, your ears could possibly get a bit warm after playing for long periods of time.
But all in all, I'd say these headphones are pretty spectacular. I was looking at the Cloud 2's, the Sennheiser GSP 300s, and the Steelseries Arctis 5s. I'm extremely happy that I made the decision to get the Alphas over those, and I will be sticking with Hyper X in the future.
I ordered the "renewed" headset because that was the only option for the Cloud headset like I have. Headset arrived with one of the foam pads loose in the package. I tried to put it on and couldn't so I processed a return with replacement of the same product. Amazon shipped the replacement without waiting for the return. I dropped the return at UPS yesterday.
The replacement headset arrived yesterday and this time neither of the foam pads are installed! See the attached photo. This time The return option was only for refund (which is what I wanted anyway). Returning this headset and already ordered a Cloud III instead this time. Will need to make another trip into town to drop the return @ UPS... Hopefully no issues with a new headset.

i bought a new headset from other company that cost more than those...
i really regret it, why did i do it?!, u dont replace a winning horse!
after a week with the other high price headset i bought those...
Those HyperX is really comfy, and the sound is clear and overall FANTASTIC! no need any BS with equalizer programs... simply plug and get eargasm.
minor cons:
no plastic cap to cover the hole of the mic if u detach it. (like in the cloud 1)
no earcup replace from fabric (like in the cloud 1)
im really happy (:
