Our Verdict
HyperX Cloud Alpha
SteelSeries Arctis Prime
The HyperX Cloud Alpha are somewhat better wired gaming headphones than the SteelSeries Arctis Prime. The HyperX are more comfortable and better built. Their boom mic also offers a better noise-handling performance. However, the SteelSeries' mic has a better recording quality.
