Our Verdict
Astro A50 Gen 3 Wireless 2017
HyperX Cloud Alpha
The Astro A50 Gen 3 Wireless 2017 are better gaming headphones than the HyperX Cloud Alpha. The Astro's wireless design offers more freedom, and the wireless latency is fairly negligible too. Their audio reproduction is a bit more accurate, especially in the treble range. On the other hand, the HyperX are slightly better built and have a detachable cable, which makes them more durable. Also, the HyperX mic's recording quality is better. However, the HyperX don't have a dedicated app, but the Astro do.
