HyperX’s Hilarious “Fix” For Their Headset Driver Latency Issues

It has an astounding still-unrivaled 300 hour battery life, a comfy industrial design that has stood the test of time, and a brand new huge mic capsule that provides slightly improved voice pickup.</p> <p>Unfortunately, it launched with some noticeable issues and it still hasn’t recovered from them. I covered these problems in <a href="https://xander51.medium.com/the-hyperx-cloud-alpha-wireless-has-issues-b5aadade746d" rel="noopener">a different article last year</a>, but I’ll sum them up again.
