Tim Schofield has a clear favorite among the three wireless headsets on his desk: the Cloud Alpha 2. In his only new upload of the week, he points to its dual wireless connectivity and a claimed battery life of up to 250 hours in 2.4 GHz mode.
"The Ultimate Wireless Headset Gift Guide: HyperX Lineup!" is sponsored by HyperX. Rather than another phone or giant tablet unboxing, it gives Schofield room to compare smaller practical details: the Cloud III S's detachable boom microphone, the Alpha 2's programmable RGB base station, and the Flight 2's internal microphone for use without a boom attached. Rotating earcups and a USB-C transmitter round out the Flight 2 segment.
The guide has drawn a modest audience so far. One commenter is considering a headset for their grandson, while another singles out the Alpha 2, matching Schofield's own choice.
Elsewhere on the channel, bedtime is generating more momentum than gaming audio. "Hatch Sleep Clock: Sleep Tracking without a Wearable!" is currently drawing the most daily views, followed by the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra unboxing and, further back, the Vivo X Fold 6 unboxing. The nightstand device offers quite a contrast to the phones and tablets usually associated with Schofield's channel.
The channel added about 1,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is a little below its usual level. Among nearby gadget channels, Karl Conrad had a substantially larger weekly audience, while Hugh Jeffreys had a quieter week than Schofield.
