HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II
Astro A10 Gen 2
The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II are slightly better wired gaming headphones than the Astro A10 Gen 2. The HyperX are more comfortable, are better built, and have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer. They also support Dolby 7.1, which can create a more immersive audio experience, and their boom mic offers a significantly better overall performance. However, the Astro can create a better passive soundstage that feels wider. Sound also feels like it's coming from speakers placed in the room around you, rather than from inside your head, which is outstanding.
