Our Verdict
HyperX Cloud Alpha
Razer BlackShark V2 X
The HyperX Cloud Alpha are better headphones for wired gaming than the Razer BlackShark V2 X. The HyperX have a much more comfortable fit and feel much more durable, and their boom mic is detachable for when you want a more casual look. Their sound profile is also more neutral, which some may prefer. However, the Razer's mic has a significantly better recording quality and does a much better job separating your voice from background noise.
