Our Verdict

HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II

Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset

The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II are better overall gaming headphones than the Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset. They're more comfortable, feel much better built, and come with a USB sound card to activate channel mixing and surround sound options on PC and PS4. However, the Logitech's microphone performs better in quiet environments, the headphones reproduce audio very inconsistently across different users.
