The Alpha looks set to improve the original Cloud design and includes some notable changes, including fully modular cables for convenient connectivity. The more notable change would be the redesigned ear-cups that feature dual chambers to help the 50mm drivers render sound with greater accuracy and less distortion. There are various returning features, including the detachable noise cancelling microphone, the use of 'signature' HyperX memory foam for comfort, and a discrete in-line remote control for on-the-fly volume adjustment and microphone muting.
