Our Verdict
HyperX Cloud Alpha S
HyperX Cloud III
The HyperX Cloud III are a bit better than the HyperX Cloud Alpha S. The Cloud III have a better overall mic performance and offer sound customization features via their companion software. However, the Alpha S' sound profile delivers more bass, which can help make gameplay more immersive and bring out sound effects.
