Hey, so this is for someone who has NOT bought any Hyperx products like me. I was so confused about the Cloud II and Cloud alpha. Everyone is saying 50/50 and you don't know who to believe. I had a problem with my old headset my ears started to burn every time I put them on but Cloud Alpha covers all around your ear what is so soft and comfortable. I was even between the Kraken 7.1 V2 Chrome (Haven't bought any Razer products too) but everyone said they break so quickly and are very uncomfortable to wear after a few hours. I went to the store and was gonna buy Cloud 2 but for the last second I changed my mind and got the Alpha version. I DO NOT regret this decision at all The sound is so clear even the bass is pretty good. I like the design too blackk&red. I spent 90euros on this and damn I like them so much. Finally, my ear is in heaven Thank you for reading this P.S sorry for my bad English
Yh the cloud alphas are really comfortable compared to the razers with better mic quality and the sound is really decent and load so it can be used to listen to music while playing. Also alot of streamers and pro players use these headphones.
@@lovro_ribic nah cloud alpha are the absolute best, cloud 2 are outdated and don't work well with the USB 7.1. (You need the USB 7.1 for PC or PS4 in order to fully work at best capacity.) Also the alphas sound way better and having better features like detachable wires. Cloud 1 honestly I don't know but they are older than cloud 1 which I don't think is goodm
I'm enjoying seeing you guys together in videos. It helps getting a couple of different preferences and viewpoints. Especially when it comes to peripherals.
I'd go with the HyperX just because Eber likes them better. Fanboy-ism ? No, eyeglasses wearer. And trust me, if someone who wears glasses prefers the compfy of a headset over another, I'll trust him. You should talk about this more during your headset reviews !
This is not always the case unless you're a eyeglass wearer yourself. There are times glasses open the headphones themselves making the sound less-isolated which can make a big difference in sound quality just by letting in that much air. Another thing to consider is clamping force, glasses can alleviate the tension from headphones for better or for the worse. This means comfort varies from eyeglass wearer to someone that does not wear glasses.
cop boom I guess but that doesn't happen often, especially for HyperX, I have the cloud II and with or without glasses the sound is exactly the same, not only that but I've also tried the Cloud Flight and again, same sound. So I'd say the sound doesn't change at least for HyperX products, all of the designs are similar.
cop boom Of course. I didn't realise my comment was not clear, I have eyeglasses, so it's kind of tricky for me to find a good headset that can rest on my ears for hours.
Overay both are excellent choices I agree alphas are way more comfy using fabric pads I won’t need take them off, but what dimitri says it’s true the logitech are better for sound awareness, I personally use the g433 it’s kind the same than gpro they are now my favorite for fps since I connect it to a dac it’s like a totally different headset now
i used to have razer peripherals and i have to say razer products are extremely overpriced and have shit quality also they only have 1 year warranties but logitech has 2 and 3 year warranties also they are cheaper and better
@@sivanesan966 I jus got the alphas for 75 bucks at best buy yesterday. Gotta say they're fkn amazing, that dual chamber design really makes the sound unique, crisp, clean. And the headset is the most comfortable and lightweight thing I've ever put on. I'd recommend them.
My thoughts only watching review - G Pro have better look and mechanic features (u can rotate them), simple, elegant and nice colours -G Pro have better mic - Cloud have better sound for music and games in general, but G Pro are better for that where u have to know where enemies are
Why would you get a gaming mic if you are gonna listen to music too? You can get a good pair of stereo headphones that are great with music and better with games than gaming headsets are, usually sans a mic.
There are people who don´t have the space, the money or that just don´t want to have a mic and a pair of headphones to play in the console or in the pc. I prefer what u say, but when I play on the sofa with the controller, its difficult to place a mic, and its unconfortable.
I prefer the G Pro's. The mic on them is almost unmatched at this price point. And they're tuned for hearing footsteps, which is exactly what I need when I play a game like Battlefield. I also have the 1More Quad Driver ear buds. They're freaking amazing and I use them for music and gaming also, so I'm not worried about using the G Pro's for anything other than gaming. So in my opinion, they're almost unmatched at this price as far as competitive shooters go. At the $150-$200 price point, I believe my 1More Quad Drivers are also unmatched in my opinion. They can also obviously be used in public for music without looking ridiculous, like a huge set of cans might make you look lol. That's my opinion anyways. Have a nice day haha.
I love my Cloud Alphas. They’re comfortable, have an AWESOME sound quality (I use them as regular headphones too), the detachable mic is fine for gaming and VoIP ten braided cable feels awesome and I got a free case to store them in when I bought them.
Alright everyone, I know that the video portrayed the Hyperx mic as somewhat weird, but he was recording with an IPAD. They sound much better hooked up to a pc or console controller m
I own both and i can say that the alpha is better in overall type of games (rpg, moba, etc.) but in competitive shooter games like csgo pubg the g pro sounds more accurate. the g pro also has better mic quality. but the alpha delivers better sound on music. Hope that helps
I have the alpha’s and I’m very happy with them, I mostly play rainbow six siege and this headset is great for identifying where footsteps are coming from and how far away they are. The somewhat tight ear cups took some time to get used to, as they make your ears warm, after a week of use I don’t even notice they’re on my head. If you’re worried about the the 1.3m cable, don’t be. An extra longer cable is included that you can attach the 1.3m to. I picked mine up for £65 on eBay brand new so look around for a better price if you want. Overall great headset, can’t think of any big problems.
Matty Nation they were a big step up from my old headset and I could definitely hear a big difference when I upgraded to these but if you’re used to higher end headsets then these might not be the big set up your may be looking for. For the price they are great and I can definitely tell the difference between sounds and where people are coming from.
You just plugged them in and started it playing? Didn't need no software like synapse or anything like that? Cause inwant to buy them and i dont to be obliged to change settings
Beware about the logitech headset. I bought mine 10 months ago and the microphone started picking up all audio noises coming from the earcup, even at 20% max volume, so all my discord friends starting to hear themselves. I ran this through logitech support and after 9 days and 13 back and forth emails, they stated that it could not qualify for warranty because my serial number (which is completely hidden inside the earcup, something I never once took off) looks "tampered with," and that is because the serial number is written on wafer thin PAPER and over time that paper dissolves, making the serial number illegible, and voiding the warranty. Stay away from Logitech products, they are designed to fail and designed to void warranties.
i think u were just very unfortunate, but ya i agree they do better mice though what do you mean by audio noises ? isn't the headset a closed back. i heard that problem arises more often on the alpha. first time hearing it on the g pro.. wait ... which logitech headset r u talking about
Look I have nothing against you. You did an EXCELLENT review BUT you forgot to mention the huge problem of the hyperx cloud Alpha which is that on console, the volume is TOO LOW. Its because the ps4 controller does not provide enough power to the headset. I myself have the gold edition cloud alpha and I was quite disappointed when I used it on my ps4. Just writing this so that I can spread awareness. But still solid review
@@KhaosOfficialYT doi. But this is because the PS4 sucks ass and so does it's controller. He probs has it at max volume but the controller can't power it
@@crimsontrigger3632 maybe... Logitech G Pro is on par though. Those 2 are have the best audio and mic for that price. More expensive headsets might have better audio but at the expense of mic quality.
@@Poifix do you still use the hyperx2? have u tried the alpha? which one has more clamping force/sound isolation i own a gsp300 and i want to make sure the alpha will give me more isolation than this. but i heard the gsp300 has better isolation
@@crimsontrigger3632 I still own the hyperx. But are not currently using it. Currently using Logitech G Pro (not the wireless). And think it's on par or slightly better than the hyperx cloud 2. I haven't owned or used the alpha. But reviews says its on par or slightly better than the cloud 2. Both Logitech G Pro and Hyper X Cloud 2 works out great for me. Both have a metal frame so they sit on tight and I never even have to use full volume. If I play an intense game, I barly hear the outside world. Great audio quality on both, I never use 7.1 virtual surround. G Pro has slightly better Mic when used with Blue Voice enabled in in logitechs software. If you just want plug and play without software I'd go with HyperX. Alpha or Cloud 2 is up to you.
@@Poifix i see, about the clamp force on the gpro though? anyway am going to leave my review here for any future readers i've got a gsp 300 i been using for the last 5years now.. and build quality wise... they have held up pretty well.. but i never ever rly dropped em or anything. but otherwise. the earpads leather pealed off within the first 2 years, revealing yellow sponge inside, the headband came off. the clamp force weakened greatly disturbing overall audio quality and comfort. also allowing more outside noise to enter due to weakened clamp force and deteriorated earpads, so noise isolation took a dump. and that sucked balls as after my latest pc upgrade my gpu gets so freaking loud around 3200rpm during heavy loads i might as well shot myself in the head. comfort wise its not as comfortable anymore with that exposed sponge and earpad rubbing against my head, gives me headaches and the already distant drivers felt even more distant cuz they were lifted further away from my ears, everything felt far away the audio is still darn great even after all that though and the headset works without a hitch, using it for music has been a great experience, for gaming however, though it did get the job done i feel it could've been better.. i feel it wasn't as proficient in detecting footsteps. and what not... maybe it was the soundstage? idk. but hey its sennheiser after all. if i could i'd buy replacement earpads but they r costly to order online where i live. about the clamp force though.. best i could do was leave it overnight in the box it came in it's tad tighter for the first 2 hours i wear it , but. it just gos back to being loose. as usual. well its plastic :c anyway. when i initially got the headset i noticed how sharp the highs were overall the clarity was great but i felt it was such a treble oriented headset i had to eq it to ''vocal'' mode with my default realtek driver software to soften it up for some music. at first i just shoved in some cotton into the earpads lmao before i realized i can eq em.. the bass was very lacking but i appreciated the high's so the eq balanced it out prettttttttttty well. i believe the sennheisers don't come eq'ed out of the box huh? which is why its so clear with almost no bass expect for music with prominent bass focus, some music do sound noisy and lost/cluttered though. idk probably the poor audio on the music itself. but yeah this headset is not perfect the mic though was very very nice, i never rly had other stuff to test out. but this mic was astounding for the price point i brought em for back then [90usd] without noise suppression ticked on, it sounded great. the only issue was the hiss.. which i balanced out by reducing input to around 80 and bringing the mic closer manually for those times when i had more chill vc sessions with a free hand. in time though doing that caused the plastic to crack and it turned into a adjustable mic lmao the hiss still turns up in recordings though and it kinda earrapes.. never had a problem with discord or what not complaining of ''hiss/static. so fine on there . just the recordings. never had any echo leak. either. with noise suppression ticked while it wasn't bad i still preferred without it.. i never actually used noise suppression throughout all these years either. but ya the hiss is pretty loud without it, since its not a standalone mic to begin with, the mic IS pretty quiet though. though am soft spoken in general on a side note. i guess its kind of hilarious that am not using the mic as intended with the noise suppression disabled lmao
You guys should do more dual comparisons for more peripherals, It is very informative and helpful to get both inputs from Dimitri and Eber. Great job guys, thanks for making my buying decision much easier!
Sooo... I have this Cloud Alpha for about 4 months now and I need to say that they do the job very well. You may find some problems with comfort because the pads aren't thicc enough, HyperX noticed that and actually made a pair of improved EarPads, and I gotta say that they are a lot better like this, more comfort and actually better sound somehow. If you found the Cloud Alpha comfortable you should mail HyperX and ask for the pads they made, you can get them for free actually. The mic is ok, not too good, not too bad. And currently Im using them on my Laptop and everyone knows that the soundcard on Laptops is worse, with a good Soundcard or AMP they should feel amazing.
I had the alpha because my cloud IIs are breaking apart after 3 years of use. The alphas are REALLY good, my only problem with them is that after having them on for 3hours and more, they start to hurt my hears, no matter how i position them. The top part of my ears start to hurt a lot, which i dont have with my cloud IIs. Otherwise cloud alphas are really good for the price.
yeah i tried them, the fabric pads, but i cant stand them lol, it just feel weird on my skin + its not as closed as the full fake leather ones. If i could get a hold of cheap fake leather replacement i would but it costs me 50-60€ including shipping.
I had the same problem. I purchased alpha because of great review but after prolonged use, the pressure on my ear irritated me enough for me to look so solution. After much research, I ran into "brainwavz" on Amazon. It cost 23 dollars for after market ear pad. Since the pads are much thicker it dissipates the pressure around my ears and much better fit and comfort. It sucks I had to spend more money on expensive headset to make it even better. But if you are using cloud alpha. I would definitely recommend getting brainwavz ear pad. I purchased red one to compliment the red accent on the alpha.
"minor thing" --- to value the cable length positive or negative is a matter of interpretation i think.... i know many people who still like to have their tower standing on the ground for whatever reason... I can Imagine they would highly appreciate a longer cable... the positive aspect is that you can change the cable to a shorter one when you want to use it underway. But since its a gaming headset I think the primary thing you want to use it for justifies the standard length it comes with.
All of those are amazing headsets imo, but leatherette is terrible for sweat, so i would say go for the steelseries arctic 5, since the earcups allow breathing and it doesnt use leatherette so it wont get as sweaty when you are.
Alexander Guerrero I also really like how the arctis 5 can be used outside of gaming, the rgb lighting is also very appealing. Are the arctis 5 good for ps4 though?
Probbly the Arctis. I have a friend who bought the Alpha last year, during the summer here in Brazil. I tried it, and it's basically impossible to use it during hot wheater, and even using an AC, I was still sweating more than I would've liked. Myself, I use a Philips SHP 9500S, open pack headphone. Pads are huge, made of a material that let you ears breathe, and similar to the ones you would find on an Arctis headset.
I bought the G Pro's as a replacement for my broken headphones about 1.5-2 years ago and they've been super reliable ever since. I took these to campus with me every day, no case or anything, literally just setting them on top of everything in my backpack (sucks they don't fold like my last ones did) and they still work 100% fine. The only damage I've managed to cause to these with my excess abuse is to wear away some of the braiding around the end of the cable that plugs into the headset, and then a mildly bent jack on the end that plugs in to your device (that's what you get when you drop your laptop with your headphones plugged in) but they're still kicking just fine. If anything, I could just get a replacement cable and they'd look and work brand new. I wear them for hours at a time (4+ hours easily) all the time, and I don't notice them. I find them much comfier than the skullcandys they replaced. I think a large part of this comfort comes down to the fact that the ear cups don't touch my ears. Giving a nice, roomy feel that isn't constrictive. The only annoying thing with these that I've found is that the ear cup attachment design, while clever, can be finnicky to put back on around the jacks. Beyond that, the audio quality is excellent, absolutely zero complaints from me there, the style is professional and clean, but not ugly, and the overall fit, finish, and build quality is excellent, as is generally the case with Logitech's hardware. Definitely would recommend these, and have recommended them to my friend(s) irl. For $90 (even cheaper now) it really is a great piece of kit, not just for the money, but as an overall experience.
I don't know why, but after watching for a year, liking very few videos, being subscribed of course but never really showing my appreciation, I just felt like saying I love your guys' channel and you've been ahead of the game on quality of video for ever, big fan dude. Have a great day.
we in eu get the g933 for 100 euros, and that costs 50 and as a big dude with big ears i woud never get hyperX. Also that bass overpowers rest so its bad and my m8 even got more premium hyperX model... p.s. nice cherry mx test on logitech
Repping headphones here, try headphones with a desk or attachable mic, open backs are great for the vast majority of situations or just get good closed backs so you can be less obnoxious in public, stretch the value of you money with a superior option like I mentioned
I’ve been using cloud alpha for almost a year now , DONT go for alpha’s the clamping force is literally killing me . Wearing the alphas is comfortable until an hour you develop an headache
Hah. I like to be at city while wearing my Cloud Alphas and listen music. I don't care what people think about my headset. Maybe it just takes some balls of steel to not give a **it about others in that way. And to be honest, those Logitech that headset looks very, very, very boring.
very tired of tech you tubers who talk slow and about useless things, thanks for getting straight into the point and ticking everything off that someone like me who is very picky, loves to hear
I would love to see a comparison of headphones that cost as much as these headsets to see how much better the sound quality is, and if it's better to go with headphones that have an external mic like the vmoda boom pro
You'd be surprised. You really don't get much better sound quality until you're in about the $150 range for just headphones vs a gaming headset. Beyond $150, it's generally no contest as a set of dedicated headphones will always win. However, this is also very much depends on what you're using to drive them. If you're using your cell phone, the difference in sound quality between a $300 pair of headphones and an $80 gaming headset won't be as drastic as if you were using a legitimate DAC or headphone amplifier to drive them. Kind of how some sports cars only get their fully rated horsepower with premium fuel as opposed to mid-grade fuel. A stand-alone mic will 99% of the time win however. Even against a V Moda mic. Whether or not you want a built-in microphone is really just going to come down to convenience and how much you care about the sound of your voice.
Paul Dietz I got Takstar Pro 82 for $110 and its higher quality than my corsair void, clarity is fantastic, the headphones are out there but youtubers dont cover those very often. A Dac/Amp will always help to reduce distortion in the signal vut even some headsets are limited by their driver design
Vmoda boom pro plus status audio cb1. I tried the alpha, the cb1s blow them away for comfort cause the pads are infinitely deeper. They sound fantastic. Also tried the gsp300 but the mic was broke when it arrived. For hearing footsteps in games the gsp300 was really good, better than the cb1s. But for music it's another story.
TheHolyDribble I tried the cb1 a while ago and it was pretty good, I wanted a little more bass and I didnt like how cheap the yolks were on them so I sold them to a friend. Also the pads were so thick that you look a little odd in public. My unit for some reason smelled like it was stored in a barn... Weird lol
Eber, man, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the hard work you do! Not that Dimitri was doing something wrong before you joined, but you've brought a breath of fresh air into the channel. Like I said, I really appreciate your work. I love that B-roll. Anyways, thanks very much, and I look forward to the next video. Cheers.
I feel that the G-Pro is way better, in aesthetics and comfort. The micro is also really good even though it has a slight his compared to the alpha. The problem is the sound signature, I really prefer a flat sound signature that the user can tweak. You're so much right about RGB by the way, totally useless and it's better like that.
Tarek Jellali I'm with the Cloud Alpha on this one because of its superior comfort and it's amazing sound quality. Isn't sound quality and a clear mic all you need in a gaming headset anyway? The Alpha beats the G-Pro in comfort and sound quality. The mics on both can use a little tweaking, but the mic on the G-Pro, I will admit, is better when it comes to your voice but not canceling out background noises. I don't like the fact that bass comes out of the G-Pro mic from what I heard, it's unesessary. The simple look of the G-Pro is great as well. But the G-Pro is definitely a close competitor to the Alpha. But after all, the Alpha captures me.
I haven't the alphas yet, but I currently own the cloud 2 and, having tried multiple logitech headsets I can definitely say that I prefer hyperx's work over logitech's when it comes down to audio
Getting a 60$ HyperX Cloud II tomorrow on summer sale at my local store and a huge thanks to your amazing (maybe old now) headset review on it that confirmed my thought on buying it.
I'm just happy that after all these decades, gaming headsets are actually starting to match normal headsets for sound quality, build quality, comfort, modularity, and looks. As a headphone guy with lots of headphones, it is nice to see gaming headphones coming along finally. I have broken a TON of gaming headsets over the years. The semi expensive, but good gaming headset I current own is the Roccat Cross. As a gaming headset it started this trend I feel. Detachable cables, mic, good sound quality, comfort, portability, and build quality. Best thing is that the Roccat Cross is only around $50 and is very comparable to either of these two headsets that cost twice as much. It's main down side is crappier stock earpads. Since the Roccat Cross takes standard earpads setup, buying an HM5 brainwavz, or better yet a less expensive Senitek earpad for a few bucks more to replace makes the Roccat cross + earpad much nicer than either the logitech pro or hyper x cloud alpha and still cheaper.
I feel like I'd be going for the Cloud Alphas if I was using them primarily for gaming, but i think the design of the G PRO gives it more versatility for using on the go rather than just as "a gaming headset". That being said, I have the Sennheiser GSP300 so I'm not fussed :)
I ditched my Hyper X Cloud headset for Sennheiser RS 175. Big price difference. HOWEVER, I will always miss the comfort and virtual invisibility of the Clouds. They were bass heavy and I lost a lot of treble and the sound wasn't great on the Hyper X Cloud headset. It was SO comfortable. Sounds like they've addressed the sound issue with the alphas. So comfortable. So good.
goodness, another awesome video from you guys, I really like the depth of the review while maintaining the length of the video short (and goodness gracious those b-rolls are magnificent). Anyway, I think it'd be nice if you guys were to mention how good of a quality the earpads are, leather/ette ones tend to wear over time, but as for a review, there's no way you guys are going to wait for months or even years to see which one last the longest. perhaps new year best headset roundup with the said matter mentioned?
Get the original Cloud directly from Hyper X factory on eBay, $49.99 factory refurbished 90 day warranty, free shipping. Totally rebuilt as new with 53 mm drivers and the newer mic. They are all aluminum, braided nylon cords, really built to last even when abused. Better sound than many far more expensive sets. Top of most reviews and the price is unbeatable. Arrived in less than a week. Price to performance, this is the best I ever bought by far and I have had many expensive sets.
why u always say cloud flight XD My thought : Good Sound, Great Mic, most competitive usage = G Pro Great sound, good mic, more balance usage = Cloud Alpha
Here’s what I look for, in headset: 1. Comfortable cushioning that completely cover my ears. 2. Bass (at least better than mediocre ones) 3. Complete frequency range and clarity. Missing the first two is an absolute dealbreaker for me.
Man I gotta say these two are the two best headsets I've ever used..I honestly cant tell which one I like better..I've put atleast 500 hrs on both..the alphas have a little more punch and rumble but arnt quite as clear as the g- pro..but its soooo close..there both in the high range...also to note..I have a certain pair of headphones that cost more than both of these put together and these both blow the expensive ones away! Also a plus in both of these is the detachable cord..if something happens to the cable they both can be replaced.and eventually it will cause a cable moves around and like anything will break down over time..If your torn on which to buy just do ennie-minny-minnie-moooow and you will end up with a great headset that will last you forever if you care for them..thumbs up in great vid..
I just had to make this decision a few weeks ago after my SteelSeries headset broke ( 5 years old was very happy with them ). So when I was comparing I was deciding between the 3 sets, Logi, SS, and Hyper, of the same price range. And I can agree with you, they are all good headsets and it really comes to personal preferences. Just like the way both fo you have varying opinions, I don't think that anyone would be disappointed with either set. For me, the Hyper was the best option and I'm very pleased with them.
I have both headsets, personally I prefer the Logitech Headset WAY MORE. The Cloud Alpha's are a bit more bassy, yet they dont cover your ears fully. The logitech g pro is so comfy and the mic and noise is comfy.
What about the Cloud 2? I’m still on the fence, I have Logitech everything else, but hear good things about the HyperX. Can’t decide which I should get!!!
Last_ Quazar I agree, It Is expensive. I buy most of my headsets used, I picked up the game ones for $120 locally. I also picked up the new Astro A50s for $160. Buy used.
I just bought the alphas, i just really wish they had fabric cushions like the cloud II did. I don't like nor trust pleather, it get's sweaty and eventually peel off.

Hey, so this is for someone who has NOT bought any Hyperx products like me.
I was so confused about the Cloud II and Cloud alpha. Everyone is saying 50/50 and you don't know who to believe.
I had a problem with my old headset my ears started to burn every time I put them on but Cloud Alpha covers all around your ear what is so soft and comfortable.
I was even between the Kraken 7.1 V2 Chrome (Haven't bought any Razer products too) but everyone said they break so quickly and are very uncomfortable to wear after a few hours.
I went to the store and was gonna buy Cloud 2 but for the last second I changed my mind and got the Alpha version.
I DO NOT regret this decision at all
The sound is so clear even the bass is pretty good.
I like the design too blackk&red.
I spent 90euros on this and damn I like them so much.
Finally, my ear is in heaven
Thank you for reading this
P.S sorry for my bad English
Ive seen this comment before...
@Galaxy Sorry for late respond but yes.
Same here, i just go alphas. I was gonna take Razer Kraken Pro v2 but then i was like hell naw imma go with the hyperx
Hi guys, do you have crosstalk with the hyperx?
Yh the cloud alphas are really comfortable compared to the razers with better mic quality and the sound is really decent and load so it can be used to listen to music while playing. Also alot of streamers and pro players use these headphones.
Well who cares about lights on headsets?
Jopplesspillow No one. Or at least not me
Jopplesspillow not me

Companies: Well really even though you can’t see the lights, we add them, to make it more expensive. No please hold your applause

cop boom I guess but that doesn't happen often, especially for HyperX, I have the cloud II and with or without glasses the sound is exactly the same, not only that but I've also tried the Cloud Flight and again, same sound. So I'd say the sound doesn't change at least for HyperX products, all of the designs are similar.
cop boom Of course. I didn't realise my comment was not clear, I have eyeglasses, so it's kind of tricky for me to find a good headset that can rest on my ears for hours.
Overay both are excellent choices I agree alphas are way more comfy using fabric pads I won’t need take them off, but what dimitri says it’s true the logitech are better for sound awareness, I personally use the g433 it’s kind the same than gpro they are now my favorite for fps since I connect it to a dac it’s like a totally different headset now
Good point, bro.
I was thinking of getting one for my girlfriend and she wears glasses.
I'll definitely take this into consideration rn
Wanna hear a joke
Razer : Krakens hAvE cOmForTabLe cuShIoN and aMazInG qUaLity
i used to have razer peripherals and i have to say razer products are extremely overpriced and have shit quality also they only have 1 year warranties but logitech has 2 and 3 year warranties also they are cheaper and better
I have kraken pro v2 and yes, "aMazInG qUaLity" 2 years using and they looks new.

@@sivanesan966 I jus got the alphas for 75 bucks at best buy yesterday. Gotta say they're fkn amazing, that dual chamber design really makes the sound unique, crisp, clean. And the headset is the most comfortable and lightweight thing I've ever put on. I'd recommend them.

My thoughts only watching review
- G Pro have better look and mechanic features (u can rotate them), simple, elegant and nice colours
-G Pro have better mic
- Cloud have better sound for music and games in general, but G Pro are better for that where u have to know where enemies are
Why would you get a gaming mic if you are gonna listen to music too? You can get a good pair of stereo headphones that are great with music and better with games than gaming headsets are, usually sans a mic.
There are people who don´t have the space, the money or that just don´t want to have a mic and a pair of headphones to play in the console or in the pc. I prefer what u say, but when I play on the sofa with the controller, its difficult to place a mic, and its unconfortable.
Dan and this entire video is about a mic attachment lol
Dan you can hear footsteps and their direction with mostly any headset tbh
Whats better for fortnite?
The pro sound alot better and alot closer to your normal mic. The hyper sounded somewhat muffled.
the hyper also has a TON of sibilance... it's impossible.
in my opinion the hyper sounded way better but yeah everyone has his own opinion
I searched for that comment… HyperX did a way better Job by the mic..
I agree
By a cheap 30 dollar mic that sound a lot better than both its a head set mic not meant to be super good is go alpha for quality and comfort
4:31 that’s really tough that you have to remove your head phones from your body, wasting so much energy
Lynxy ha ha
So much energy wasted smfh I'm never buying cloud alphas
I prefer the G Pro's. The mic on them is almost unmatched at this price point. And they're tuned for hearing footsteps, which is exactly what I need when I play a game like Battlefield.
I also have the 1More Quad Driver ear buds. They're freaking amazing and I use them for music and gaming also, so I'm not worried about using the G Pro's for anything other than gaming. So in my opinion, they're almost unmatched at this price as far as competitive shooters go.
At the $150-$200 price point, I believe my 1More Quad Drivers are also unmatched in my opinion. They can also obviously be used in public for music without looking ridiculous, like a huge set of cans might make you look lol. That's my opinion anyways. Have a nice day haha.
I love my Cloud Alphas. They’re comfortable, have an AWESOME sound quality (I use them as regular headphones too), the detachable mic is fine for gaming and VoIP ten braided cable feels awesome and I got a free case to store them in when I bought them.
Yes, it is.

Alright everyone, I know that the video portrayed the Hyperx mic as somewhat weird, but he was recording with an IPAD. They sound much better hooked up to a pc or console controller m
True, i got the same HyperX and on PC it's just so good. Easy that good as the Logitech.
"cloud flight" eber 2k18
Putt ? The cloud flight is another HyperX hesdset
i was just pointing out the fact that he said flight instead of alpha. Yes ik the flight is a different headset
He said it towards the end lul
The last 5 minutes is nothing but flight lol
wish i had the time to count the number of times he said flight instead of alpha
Gaming headset microphones are getting really good lately... Damn
MWKi a few years back we could put 2 wires in a potato and nobody heard a differance in sound quality. :D
DavidAnd lol true
MWKi these both still suck tho except the ls40
And there are not even high-end gaming headsets.
@@byeMaurice well they must be better. They are like 200$ right?
I own both and i can say that the alpha is better in overall type of games (rpg, moba, etc.) but in competitive shooter games like csgo pubg the g pro sounds more accurate. the g pro also has better mic quality. but the alpha delivers better sound on music. Hope that helps
Have you tested both in cod?
I love the Hyper X Cloud series... Best price / value over years
aqui no Brasil custa 80% do salário minimo :/
its really good
Logitech is just amazing. They started to be better from 2017.... 2018 was one amazing year for Logitech!
I have the alpha’s and I’m very happy with them, I mostly play rainbow six siege and this headset is great for identifying where footsteps are coming from and how far away they are. The somewhat tight ear cups took some time to get used to, as they make your ears warm, after a week of use I don’t even notice they’re on my head. If you’re worried about the the 1.3m cable, don’t be. An extra longer cable is included that you can attach the 1.3m to. I picked mine up for £65 on eBay brand new so look around for a better price if you want. Overall great headset, can’t think of any big problems.
so its good to hear where the enemies are in six siege?
i play that game a lot it would be a mature point for me
Matty Nation they were a big step up from my old headset and I could definitely hear a big difference when I upgraded to these but if you’re used to higher end headsets then these might not be the big set up your may be looking for. For the price they are great and I can definitely tell the difference between sounds and where people are coming from.
You just plugged them in and started it playing? Didn't need no software like synapse or anything like that? Cause inwant to buy them and i dont to be obliged to change settings
Beware about the logitech headset. I bought mine 10 months ago and the microphone started picking up all audio noises coming from the earcup, even at 20% max volume, so all my discord friends starting to hear themselves. I ran this through logitech support and after 9 days and 13 back and forth emails, they stated that it could not qualify for warranty because my serial number (which is completely hidden inside the earcup, something I never once took off) looks "tampered with," and that is because the serial number is written on wafer thin PAPER and over time that paper dissolves, making the serial number illegible, and voiding the warranty. Stay away from Logitech products, they are designed to fail and designed to void warranties.
i think u were just very unfortunate, but ya i agree they do better mice
though what do you mean by audio noises ? isn't the headset a closed back. i heard that problem arises more often on the alpha. first time hearing it on the g pro.. wait ... which logitech headset r u talking about
I’ve been waited for this review for sooooooooo long
G pro
Cloud Alpha hurt my ears, and it's not only me, so even with confort, the G Pro takes the win for me
Have to agree with the ear hurting. If only they didnt do that to me i wouldnt have had to return them.
Yeah you need after-market earpads for them, they are to shallow...
Look I have nothing against you. You did an EXCELLENT review BUT you forgot to mention the huge problem of the hyperx cloud Alpha which is that on console, the volume is TOO LOW. Its because the ps4 controller does not provide enough power to the headset. I myself have the gold edition cloud alpha and I was quite disappointed when I used it on my ps4. Just writing this so that I can spread awareness. But still solid review
Banana Boy you could adjust the volume, using both the actual volume on the ps4 itself into the headset and the volume adjuster on the cord
@@KhaosOfficialYT doi. But this is because the PS4 sucks ass and so does it's controller. He probs has it at max volume but the controller can't power it
Imo hyperx has always been the best when it comes to headsets. I still use my cloud2.
Have yet to find a headset who rivals it.
u mean rival it on the same budget? that is
@@crimsontrigger3632 maybe... Logitech G Pro is on par though. Those 2 are have the best audio and mic for that price. More expensive headsets might have better audio but at the expense of mic quality.
@@Poifix do you still use the hyperx2? have u tried the alpha? which one has more clamping force/sound isolation
i own a gsp300 and i want to make sure the alpha will give me more isolation than this. but i heard the gsp300 has better isolation
@@crimsontrigger3632 I still own the hyperx. But are not currently using it. Currently using Logitech G Pro (not the wireless). And think it's on par or slightly better than the hyperx cloud 2. I haven't owned or used the alpha. But reviews says its on par or slightly better than the cloud 2.
Both Logitech G Pro and Hyper X Cloud 2 works out great for me. Both have a metal frame so they sit on tight and I never even have to use full volume. If I play an intense game, I barly hear the outside world. Great audio quality on both, I never use 7.1 virtual surround. G Pro has slightly better Mic when used with Blue Voice enabled in in logitechs software. If you just want plug and play without software I'd go with HyperX. Alpha or Cloud 2 is up to you.
@@Poifix i see, about the clamp force on the gpro though?
anyway am going to leave my review here for any future readers
i've got a gsp 300 i been using for the last 5years now.. and build quality wise... they have held up pretty well.. but i never ever rly dropped em or anything. but otherwise.
the earpads leather pealed off within the first 2 years, revealing yellow sponge inside,
the headband came off.
the clamp force weakened greatly disturbing overall audio quality and comfort.
also allowing more outside noise to enter due to weakened clamp force and deteriorated earpads,
so noise isolation took a dump. and that sucked balls as after my latest pc upgrade my gpu gets so freaking loud around 3200rpm during heavy loads i might as well shot myself in the head.
comfort wise its not as comfortable anymore with that exposed sponge and earpad rubbing against my head, gives me headaches
and the already distant drivers felt even more distant cuz they were lifted further away from my ears, everything felt far away
the audio is still darn great even after all that though and the headset works without a hitch, using it for music has been a great experience,
for gaming however, though it did get the job done i feel it could've been better.. i feel it wasn't as proficient in detecting footsteps. and what not... maybe it was the soundstage? idk. but hey its sennheiser after all.
if i could i'd buy replacement earpads but they r costly to order online where i live.
about the clamp force though.. best i could do was leave it overnight in the box it came in
it's tad tighter for the first 2 hours i wear it , but. it just gos back to being loose. as usual. well its plastic :c
anyway. when i initially got the headset i noticed how sharp the highs were overall the clarity was great but i felt it was such a treble oriented headset i had to eq it to ''vocal'' mode with my default realtek driver software to soften it up for some music.
at first i just shoved in some cotton into the earpads lmao before i realized i can eq em..
the bass was very lacking but i appreciated the high's so the eq balanced it out prettttttttttty well.
i believe the sennheisers don't come eq'ed out of the box huh? which is why its so clear with almost no bass expect for music with prominent bass focus,
some music do sound noisy and lost/cluttered though. idk probably the poor audio on the music itself. but yeah this headset is not perfect
the mic though was very very nice, i never rly had other stuff to test out. but this mic was astounding for the price point i brought em for back then [90usd] without noise suppression ticked on, it sounded great. the only issue was the hiss.. which i balanced out by reducing input to around 80
and bringing the mic closer manually for those times when i had more chill vc sessions with a free hand.
in time though doing that caused the plastic to crack and it turned into a adjustable mic lmao
the hiss still turns up in recordings though and it kinda earrapes.. never had a problem with discord or what not complaining of ''hiss/static. so fine on there .
just the recordings. never had any echo leak. either.
with noise suppression ticked while it wasn't bad i still preferred without it.. i never actually used noise suppression throughout all these years either.
but ya the hiss is pretty loud without it, since its not a standalone mic to begin with,
the mic IS pretty quiet though. though am soft spoken in general
on a side note. i guess its kind of hilarious that am not using the mic as intended with the noise suppression disabled lmao
You guys should do more dual comparisons for more peripherals, It is very informative and helpful to get both inputs from Dimitri and Eber. Great job guys, thanks for making my buying decision much easier!
Yess eber I've been waiting for this comparisons for days
same :)
Sooo... I have this Cloud Alpha for about 4 months now and I need to say that they do the job very well. You may find some problems with comfort because the pads aren't thicc enough, HyperX noticed that and actually made a pair of improved EarPads, and I gotta say that they are a lot better like this, more comfort and actually better sound somehow. If you found the Cloud Alpha comfortable you should mail HyperX and ask for the pads they made, you can get them for free actually. The mic is ok, not too good, not too bad.
And currently Im using them on my Laptop and everyone knows that the soundcard on Laptops is worse, with a good Soundcard or AMP they should feel amazing.
q1ffaay Will they ship the pads globally?
Aerial Nguyen i dont know, but im from portugal and it took 10 days, but they are worth, try to mail them
q1ffaay What is the material? Is it like the replaceable pads of the Cloud 2?
Aerial Nguyen lether, same material, a little bit more rubberish and sponge between the driver and ur ears
Do you wear glasses with your headphones? If so are they comfortable and do they squeeze ur head
I had the alpha because my cloud IIs are breaking apart after 3 years of use. The alphas are REALLY good, my only problem with them is that after having them on for 3hours and more, they start to hurt my hears, no matter how i position them. The top part of my ears start to hurt a lot, which i dont have with my cloud IIs. Otherwise cloud alphas are really good for the price.
Mcwrah ikr, I have the same problem
I hav the same problem to
guys try using the extra fabric pads I got the same problem with the cloud 2 and after swap them now I can wear them forever
yeah i tried them, the fabric pads, but i cant stand them lol, it just feel weird on my skin + its not as closed as the full fake leather ones. If i could get a hold of cheap fake leather replacement i would but it costs me 50-60€ including shipping.
I had the same problem. I purchased alpha because of great review but after prolonged use, the pressure on my ear irritated me enough for me to look so solution. After much research, I ran into "brainwavz" on Amazon. It cost 23 dollars for after market ear pad. Since the pads are much thicker it dissipates the pressure around my ears and much better fit and comfort. It sucks I had to spend more money on expensive headset to make it even better. But if you are using cloud alpha. I would definitely recommend getting brainwavz ear pad. I purchased red one to compliment the red accent on the alpha.
"minor thing" --- to value the cable length positive or negative is a matter of interpretation i think.... i know many people who still like to have their tower standing on the ground for whatever reason... I can Imagine they would highly appreciate a longer cable... the positive aspect is that you can change the cable to a shorter one when you want to use it underway. But since its a gaming headset I think the primary thing you want to use it for justifies the standard length it comes with.
Im looking for new headphones cause i ripped of the headphone jack of my headphones cause i have a tower on the ground and tripped on the wire
Out of the Hyperx Cloud Alpha, Steelseries Arctis 5, sennheiser gsp 300 and the gpro which one is the best for someone like me who sweats alot
aircon
All of those are amazing headsets imo, but leatherette is terrible for sweat, so i would say go for the steelseries arctic 5, since the earcups allow breathing and it doesnt use leatherette so it wont get as sweaty when you are.
Alexander Guerrero I also really like how the arctis 5 can be used outside of gaming, the rgb lighting is also very appealing. Are the arctis 5 good for ps4 though?
yes
Probbly the Arctis. I have a friend who bought the Alpha last year, during the summer here in Brazil. I tried it, and it's basically impossible to use it during hot wheater, and even using an AC, I was still sweating more than I would've liked. Myself, I use a Philips SHP 9500S, open pack headphone. Pads are huge, made of a material that let you ears breathe, and similar to the ones you would find on an Arctis headset.
I like this style... Not exaggerated or excessively loud... Informative, giving details I care about
“ red and black is overrated” I look at his chair and glasses 😂
I bought the G Pro's as a replacement for my broken headphones about 1.5-2 years ago and they've been super reliable ever since. I took these to campus with me every day, no case or anything, literally just setting them on top of everything in my backpack (sucks they don't fold like my last ones did) and they still work 100% fine. The only damage I've managed to cause to these with my excess abuse is to wear away some of the braiding around the end of the cable that plugs into the headset, and then a mildly bent jack on the end that plugs in to your device (that's what you get when you drop your laptop with your headphones plugged in) but they're still kicking just fine. If anything, I could just get a replacement cable and they'd look and work brand new. I wear them for hours at a time (4+ hours easily) all the time, and I don't notice them. I find them much comfier than the skullcandys they replaced. I think a large part of this comfort comes down to the fact that the ear cups don't touch my ears. Giving a nice, roomy feel that isn't constrictive. The only annoying thing with these that I've found is that the ear cup attachment design, while clever, can be finnicky to put back on around the jacks. Beyond that, the audio quality is excellent, absolutely zero complaints from me there, the style is professional and clean, but not ugly, and the overall fit, finish, and build quality is excellent, as is generally the case with Logitech's hardware. Definitely would recommend these, and have recommended them to my friend(s) irl. For $90 (even cheaper now) it really is a great piece of kit, not just for the money, but as an overall experience.

Repping headphones here, try headphones with a desk or attachable mic, open backs are great for the vast majority of situations or just get good closed backs so you can be less obnoxious in public, stretch the value of you money with a superior option like I mentioned
Wow my 2 favorite brands facing of. Tear
off* ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I’ve been using cloud alpha for almost a year now , DONT go for alpha’s the clamping force is literally killing me . Wearing the alphas is comfortable until an hour you develop an
headache
is the g pro x better.....plz tell me
Hah. I like to be at city while wearing my Cloud Alphas and listen music.
I don't care what people think about my headset. Maybe it just takes some balls of steel to not give a **it about others in that way.
And to be honest, those Logitech that headset looks very, very, very boring.
Im glad there is competition now, Cloud had no competition when it came to price/performance. Now you have 3 options GSP 300, Cloud Alpha, G Pro.
Your B roll is better than my A roll...
very tired of tech you tubers who talk slow and about useless things, thanks for getting straight into the point and ticking everything off that someone like me who is very picky, loves to hear
I would love to see a comparison of headphones that cost as much as these headsets to see how much better the sound quality is, and if it's better to go with headphones that have an external mic like the vmoda boom pro
Venom415 yeah that’s the way so you don’t mind about the mic but since linus spoils the xlr now that’s the way to go
You'd be surprised. You really don't get much better sound quality until you're in about the $150 range for just headphones vs a gaming headset. Beyond $150, it's generally no contest as a set of dedicated headphones will always win. However, this is also very much depends on what you're using to drive them. If you're using your cell phone, the difference in sound quality between a $300 pair of headphones and an $80 gaming headset won't be as drastic as if you were using a legitimate DAC or headphone amplifier to drive them. Kind of how some sports cars only get their fully rated horsepower with premium fuel as opposed to mid-grade fuel. A stand-alone mic will 99% of the time win however. Even against a V Moda mic. Whether or not you want a built-in microphone is really just going to come down to convenience and how much you care about the sound of your voice.
Paul Dietz I got Takstar Pro 82 for $110 and its higher quality than my corsair void, clarity is fantastic, the headphones are out there but youtubers dont cover those very often. A Dac/Amp will always help to reduce distortion in the signal vut even some headsets are limited by their driver design
Vmoda boom pro plus status audio cb1. I tried the alpha, the cb1s blow them away for comfort cause the pads are infinitely deeper. They sound fantastic. Also tried the gsp300 but the mic was broke when it arrived. For hearing footsteps in games the gsp300 was really good, better than the cb1s. But for music it's another story.
TheHolyDribble I tried the cb1 a while ago and it was pretty good, I wanted a little more bass and I didnt like how cheap the yolks were on them so I sold them to a friend. Also the pads were so thick that you look a little odd in public. My unit for some reason smelled like it was stored in a barn... Weird lol
Eber, man, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the hard work you do! Not that Dimitri was doing something wrong before you joined, but you've brought a breath of fresh air into the channel. Like I said, I really appreciate your work. I love that B-roll. Anyways, thanks very much, and I look forward to the next video. Cheers.
I feel that the G-Pro is way better, in aesthetics and comfort. The micro is also really good even though it has a slight his compared to the alpha. The problem is the sound signature, I really prefer a flat sound signature that the user can tweak.
You're so much right about RGB by the way, totally useless and it's better like that.
Tarek Jellali I'm with the Cloud Alpha on this one because of its superior comfort and it's amazing sound quality. Isn't sound quality and a clear mic all you need in a gaming headset anyway? The Alpha beats the G-Pro in comfort and sound quality. The mics on both can use a little tweaking, but the mic on the G-Pro, I will admit, is better when it comes to your voice but not canceling out background noises. I don't like the fact that bass comes out of the G-Pro mic from what I heard, it's unesessary. The simple look of the G-Pro is great as well. But the G-Pro is definitely a close competitor to the Alpha. But after all, the Alpha captures me.
I haven't the alphas yet, but I currently own the cloud 2 and, having tried multiple logitech headsets I can definitely say that I prefer hyperx's work over logitech's when it comes down to audio
"cloud flight" count: 5 times...? ;p anyway, still great revs!
They're so close it almost always will come down to brand preference. I do love me my HX Alfas because I like the beefy feel in it's construction.
I think........ Alpha..? But the color and the mic is refer to G-Pro...
Man it's really hard to pick. Good Job Logitech.
Amazing video man.
Guys remember if you get the blue voice version of the Logitech’s it sound 10x better with custom pro presets on they’re website.
Its called G pro X
Can you use both headsets for consoles? (Xbox)
Yeah most any headset with a 3.5 mm headphone jack will work on console. It will work on any device with that jack. Such as phones
Getting a 60$ HyperX Cloud II tomorrow on summer sale at my local store and a huge thanks to your amazing (maybe old now) headset review on it that confirmed my thought on buying it.
Lemme simplify:
Multiplayer/Shooter/FPS gamer? GPros
Singleplayer/MMORPG/Not-Fps gamer? Alphas
Congratulations for 1M this is my first video watch on your channel
Thank you and welcome 😎
13:16 he said cloud flight lol 😅
I'm just happy that after all these decades, gaming headsets are actually starting to match normal headsets for sound quality, build quality, comfort, modularity, and looks. As a headphone guy with lots of headphones, it is nice to see gaming headphones coming along finally. I have broken a TON of gaming headsets over the years. The semi expensive, but good gaming headset I current own is the Roccat Cross. As a gaming headset it started this trend I feel. Detachable cables, mic, good sound quality, comfort, portability, and build quality. Best thing is that the Roccat Cross is only around $50 and is very comparable to either of these two headsets that cost twice as much. It's main down side is crappier stock earpads. Since the Roccat Cross takes standard earpads setup, buying an HM5 brainwavz, or better yet a less expensive Senitek earpad for a few bucks more to replace makes the Roccat cross + earpad much nicer than either the logitech pro or hyper x cloud alpha and still cheaper.
looks at velour "SoFt LeAtHeR"
Edit:THIS IS JUST A JOKE
I feel like I'd be going for the Cloud Alphas if I was using them primarily for gaming, but i think the design of the G PRO gives it more versatility for using on the go rather than just as "a gaming headset". That being said, I have the Sennheiser GSP300 so I'm not fussed :)

I ditched my Hyper X Cloud headset for Sennheiser RS 175. Big price difference. HOWEVER, I will always miss the comfort and virtual invisibility of the Clouds. They were bass heavy and I lost a lot of treble and the sound wasn't great on the Hyper X Cloud headset. It was SO comfortable. Sounds like they've addressed the sound issue with the alphas. So comfortable. So good.
What is the performance of headphones games with regular music ?
goodness, another awesome video from you guys, I really like the depth of the review while maintaining the length of the video short (and goodness gracious those b-rolls are magnificent).
Anyway, I think it'd be nice if you guys were to mention how good of a quality the earpads are, leather/ette ones tend to wear over time, but as for a review, there's no way you guys are going to wait for months or even years to see which one last the longest.
perhaps new year best headset roundup with the said matter mentioned?
Philip's sph9500 w/ V Moda mic
Get the original Cloud directly from Hyper X factory on eBay, $49.99 factory refurbished 90 day warranty, free shipping. Totally rebuilt as new with 53 mm drivers and the newer mic. They are all aluminum, braided nylon cords, really built to last even when abused. Better sound than many far more expensive sets. Top of most reviews and the price is unbeatable. Arrived in less than a week. Price to performance, this is the best I ever bought by far and I have had many expensive sets.
for audio, trust sennheiser. but their design is trash tho

why u always say cloud flight XD
My thought :
Good Sound, Great Mic, most competitive usage = G Pro
Great sound, good mic, more balance usage = Cloud Alpha
balanced usage vs competitive usage . URGHHHHHHH so hard to choose!!!!!!!
I have never tried the G Pro, but Im using Cloud Alpha every day. And its the best headset I've ever owned.

Man I gotta say these two are the two best headsets I've ever used..I honestly cant tell which one I like better..I've put atleast 500 hrs on both..the alphas have a little more punch and rumble but arnt quite as clear as the g- pro..but its soooo close..there both in the high range...also to note..I have a certain pair of headphones that cost more than both of these put together and these both blow the expensive ones away! Also a plus in both of these is the detachable cord..if something happens to the cable they both can be replaced.and eventually it will cause a cable moves around and like anything will break down over time..If your torn on which to buy just do ennie-minny-minnie-moooow and you will end up with a great headset that will last you forever if you care for them..thumbs up in great vid..
13:16 he says cloud flight
I’m always late for the party, but that is an excellent video to compare those 2, thanks a lot!
I think I’ll go with the Logitech though :)
Easy answer...... HyperX Cloud Alpha
theprowler yep. they have the best sound quality.
you can even hear someone snore from mars
@@ReqeezRafiq unfortunately u can't wake them up because all u get from the hyperx is "mfmfmfmfmfmmffff"
@@ReqeezRafiq lol
I just had to make this decision a few weeks ago after my SteelSeries headset broke ( 5 years old was very happy with them ). So when I was comparing I was deciding between the 3 sets, Logi, SS, and Hyper, of the same price range. And I can agree with you, they are all good headsets and it really comes to personal preferences. Just like the way both fo you have varying opinions, I don't think that anyone would be disappointed with either set.
For me, the Hyper was the best option and I'm very pleased with them.
when your sponsored by logitech...
I have both headsets, personally I prefer the Logitech Headset WAY MORE. The Cloud Alpha's are a bit more bassy, yet they dont cover your ears fully. The logitech g pro is so comfy and the mic and noise is comfy.
I feel the Cloud Alpha has a better microphone. The g pro sound really muffeled to me.
BromTeque true
Lucas Gabriel where are the mic tests?
I dont know why but the original G Pro is really hard to find, most people dont even know about it.
G pro all the way 👀🔥
What about the Cloud 2? I’m still on the fence, I have Logitech everything else, but hear good things about the HyperX. Can’t decide which I should get!!!
alpha > cloud 2
I got my cloud 2 yesterday and I had to return it because the mic started making random noises then cut out and the mic never worked again
Sennheiser Game Ones
That one is the best of the best for a gaming headsets but geezes it darn expensive
Last_ Quazar I agree, It Is expensive. I buy most of my headsets used, I picked up the game ones for $120 locally. I also picked up the new Astro A50s for $160. Buy used.
the depth of this video is amazing... u covered everything that i would want to know... thanks :D
“Little more stronger”
I just bought the alphas, i just really wish they had fabric cushions like the cloud II did. I don't like nor trust pleather, it get's sweaty and eventually peel off.
