Replacement Headset Cable for HyperX Cloud Alpha & Mix

Yes, it is built for the HyperX Cloud Alpha and Cloud Mix headsets. Both plugs are 4-pole 3.5mm, so the mic and inline controls carry through the same way the original cable did. Plug it in, make a quick test call, and you will know within a minute.

It is 4-pole TRRS, and that matters. A standard 3-pole aux cable plays audio but has no path for the mic, so calls go silent and the inline controls stop responding. Use a 4-pole cable and the headset works as it did before.

You are paying for the wiring and the parts you can see: 4-pole contacts, gold-plated tips, a braided nylon sleeve and molded strain relief on both ends. A cheap cable costs less but drops the mic. Set against a new headset, a spare cable costs a small fraction and keeps the headset you already like.

The gold sits on the contact tips, which are the metal surfaces that touch the jack every time you plug in. Gold resists tarnish, so those contacts stay cleaner over time. It will not change how the headset sounds, but it protects the connection that carries your audio and mic.

The braid resists fraying better than bare cable at everyday bend points, and molded relief protects the joints where cables usually fail. Keep the bends wide and grip the plug when you unplug it, and the cable will outlast the one you are replacing. No fixed lifespan is listed for this cable.
