HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless Warzone EQ (Tuned Preset)

The Cloud Alpha Wireless is a long-session favorite with a big warm sound that can crowd footsteps. This guide uses the Cloud Alpha Wireless tuned Warzone preset in DoveSonicEQ: the proven Warzone mix corrected for this headset, running flat and stereo with nothing stacked on top.

1) Flat software, stereo output

Warm headsets plus extra EQ plus virtual surround is how footsteps go missing. Strip it back before judging any preset:

  • Set any vendor equalizer flat or off (Ngenuity or otherwise).
  • Use plain stereo output. No extra spatial processing on top of the game mix.
  • One EQ in the chain: DoveSonicEQ does the tuning from here.

2) Load the tuned Warzone preset

In DoveSonicEQ, open Headphone-Tuned Game EQs, pick HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless, and choose the Warzone mix:

  • V1: stronger footstep presence with a fuller sound.
  • V2: less bassy, more focus on clarity and positioning. Warm headsets often land here.

Flip between the tuned preset and Bypass right away. The low-end warmth should lean out while movement detail steps forward.

3) Only have sliders? Convert the preset

If you ever need the tuning inside fixed sliders instead of DoveSonicEQ, download the preset text from EQ Presets, paste it into the EQ converter, and get 10-band slider values. Fixed sliders are approximate, but they beat guessing.

4) Lift steps, save, done

  • Set Improved Loudness Equalization near 48-50% with Peak Control on; add Volume Lock only if spikes still bother you.
  • If your own shots bury steps, add Lower Own Gunfire near 50% strength. Guide: lower your own gunfire volume.
  • Bypass compare, then save it as one preset per game.

FAQ

V1 or V2 on the Alpha Wireless?

Warm headsets usually land on V2 for clarity, but Bypass-compare both: if steps feel thin, V1 restores their weight.
