Our Verdict
HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II
Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset
The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset is more versatile than the HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II. The Logitech have a more neutral sound out of the box, an app to customize their sound to your liking, and easier to use controls. On the other hand, the HyperX have a slightly better microphone, channel mixing, and build quality. They can often be found a little cheaper than the Logitech, too.

Hi there,
I can understand the confusion. The scores don’t always paint the full picture and we take the performance as a whole into account when describing the differences between products. For some, the better mic performance, inline controls like channel mixing, and even their lower price-point can still make them a solid choice. That said, thanks for bringing this discrepancy up! We’ll look into this and update our comparisons accordingly.
“The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II are slightly better gaming headphones than the Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset.”
Doesn’t make much sense when the scores are lower or even on everything but “Phone Calls”
Especially when compared to Cloud Alpha they are regarded as even but then Cloud Alpha are described as better than Cloud II
