Our Verdict
Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset
HyperX Cloud Alpha S
The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset and the HyperX Cloud Alpha S are similarly-performing wired gaming headsets. They're both comfortable for long gaming sessions, and they both have the same connectivity with PC, PS4, and Xbox One. However, the Logitech have companion software with a graphic EQ and presets, which can help with their inconsistent sound delivery. On the other hand, while the HyperX also have a similarly inconsistent sound delivery, they lack an EQ but have a bass slider on each ear cup. They also have a slightly better-performing microphone and feel better built.
