Our Verdict
HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless
Wyze Wireless Gaming Headset
The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless are better gaming headphones than the Wyze Wireless Gaming Headset. For starters, the HyperX's battery lasts over ten times longer than the Wyze, letting you use them for countless play sessions without needing a recharge. You can also fine-tune their mix via the companion app's graphic EQ and presets, which the Wyze lacks. The HyperX are also better built and more comfortable, with a higher clamping force that results in better stability during intense matches. However, the Wyze can also connect to devices via Bluetooth, making them more versatile for use on the go.
