Our Verdict

Astro A50 Gen 4 Wireless 2019

HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless

The Astro A50 Gen 4 Wireless 2019 are better wireless gaming headphones than the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless. While both headphones are well-built and comfortable, the Astro have a more consistent audio delivery. Their boom microphone also has a better recording quality and noise-handling performance. Their base station is also console-locked, but you can get a variant that works with either your PlayStation or Xbox console. However, you may still prefer the HyperX if you prioritize longer continuous battery life and more noise isolation. However, users have reported high latency when using their companion software's features.
