Our Verdict
HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless
Logitech G735 Wireless
The Logitech G735 Wireless are better gaming headphones than the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless. While both headphones are well-built, the Logitech have lower latency, support Bluetooth, and you can use them wired, though keep in mind that you'll have to buy the AUX cable separately. Conversely, the HyperX are more comfortable, have a more neutral default sound profile, which some users may prefer, and they have an outstandingly longer continuous battery life. Their boom mic also offers a slightly better overall performance. However, users have reported high latency when using the companion app and its features.
