Our Verdict

HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II

HyperX Cloud Alpha

The HyperX Cloud Alpha and HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II are comparable headphones with different strengths. The Cloud II and the Cloud Alpha have a very similar design with a detachable boom mic, so you can use them casually for day-to-day use, though the mic on the Cloud II performs better. The Cloud II also support channel mixing. That said, while both pairs of headphones look and feel very similar, the Cloud Alpha feel a bit more durable, and you can detach their 3.5mm audio cable.
