HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II
HyperX Cloud Alpha S
The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II and the HyperX Cloud Alpha S are very similarly performing gaming headphones but the Cloud Alpha S are slightly better. The Cloud Alpha S have a bit better controls such as a bass slider on each ear cup. They also feel slightly better built and have companion software that allows you to adjust the mic level. The Cloud 2, on the other hand, have a slightly better performing boom microphone. On the downside, it should be noted that both headphones have inconsistent bass and treble delivery, and neither have a full EQ to account for it.
