Not only does it come at the low price of just $200, but it lasts 300 hours on a charge\u2014something we verified in our detailed review. Still, HyperX hasn\u2019t explained this battery wizardry. But iFixit may have an answer.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll preface by describing the headset a bit. First, and this is important, it\u2019s surprisingly lightweight. The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless weighs just 300 grams, which is 86 grams less than the AirPods Max. The headset is also pretty bare-bones. While it has a removable microphone, it doesn\u2019t offer ANC and lacks any RGB lighting.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the headset\u2019s lack of power-hungry features extends battery life a bit. But ANC and integrated lighting only decreases headset battery life by a few hours, not\u00a0<em>hundreds<\/em> of hours. Hence the need for a good old-fashioned <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5t0Jyzh0veo\">iFixit teardown<\/a>.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"5t0Jyzh0veo\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/5t0Jyzh0veo\/hqdefault.jpg');\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>After taking apart the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless, iFixit found that the headphones use a \u201clarger than average\u201d 5.5Wh battery. But other HyperX headphones use this same battery and only last around 30 hours on a charge. Clearly, something else is going on.<\/p>\n<p>So, iFixit identified all of the chips on the headset\u2019s motherboard. And despite this headset\u2019s low price, it contains some pretty modern, highly optimized stuff. There\u2019s a low-power ARM Cortex MO+ processor, an Bluetooth LE transceiver, and most notably, a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dialog-semiconductor.com\/products\/codecs-amplifiers\/da7212\">DA7212 Dialog Semiconductor<\/a>\u00a0that uses a shockingly low amount of power (650\u00b5W) to process and amplify audio.<\/p>\n<p>The conclusion, and HyperX still needs to verify this, is that the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless headset uses a larger battery\u00a0<em>and<\/em> super-efficient chips to reach its 300-hour playtime.
