Our Verdict

HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II

Logitech G930 Wireless

The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II are a better gaming headset if you prefer a wired design that you can use with your console controllers. However, if you want a wireless option for gaming, then the Logitech G930 Wireless are a better choice. The G930 have a lot more range thanks to their wireless connection. They also have a lot more customization options, thanks to their software support and programmable buttons. The HyperX Cloud II, on the other hand, have a much better build quality and comfort level. They're also wired with a detachable mic so they more easily pass for casual over-ears that you can use outdoors.
