Hey

Does anyone have good EQ settings for HyperX Cloud Alpha? Im using Equalizer APO.
I feel like the sound is too muddy

i know this thread is old, but for any folks who found this trough google like me (bought the cloud alpha for 50€ brand new in black friday deal lol):

DONT USE those settings others provided, its HORRIBLE to see this "measurement" propably made by a kids with ZERO sound experience. (or they just copied the settings from different headphones)

search in google for "Cloud Alpha frequency sound profile" and see for yourself how much you need to adjust each frequency area.

i did this already for anybody interested. just a quick sloppy correction to have neutral sound. i took the Cloud Alpha headphone frequency sound profile as measurement to correct the frequencies to the correct values so it reached close to 0. i personally prefer a liiiittle more bass in the low's because my hearing goes as low as 14hz, but thats preference. (it also helps hear footsteps ion fps games better because they are around 20-90hz!)
here ya go, thank me later (best resulta with a soundcard, buth without its great too now):

For HyperX Cloud Alphas I made a lot of tries and changes, ( i'm using Equalizer APO with graphic interface- PC Equalizer). I' ve gone through many many tries and I didn't find anything better in web than that. Finally I have the best preset, for me, to lestening music on that headphones:

[Hz- gain]

[22-6,1]: [31-4,5]: [44-2,7]: [62-0,6]: [88-1,1]: [124-0,9]: [176-(-0,1)]: [250-2,5]: [354-2,1]: [500-2,1]: [700-2,7]: [1k- 1,5]: [1,4k- 0,4]: [2k- 0,3]: [2,8k-0,1]: [4k-0,3]: [5,6k-0,8]: [8k-0,9]: [11k-3,2]: [16k-4,0]

Hey so just found this via Google as I'm trying to make game audio better footsteps etc for Call Of Duty and see a lot of people saying use Equalizer APO I have no experience in any of this and have followed the video in a pervious comment on this thread but with your specs can you tell my if I have done it correctly and if once you finish do you click the power button(make it black not grey) next to each part to activate everything or not.
hope you can help. thanks in advance

i tried the ones up top and i didn't like them at all, it sounds too static-y and just weird.
Try mine. i'm using Hyper x Cloud II's
it's perfect for music & gaming, more specifically bassy music and fps games.
it took me quite a while to figure it all out and i still think it could improve but for now it gets the job done.

Version 3:

i do it every time, you end up hearing more wind sound, but the footsteps are all clear and can be heard further
