Our Verdict
HyperX Cloud Flight
Corsair HS70 Wireless
The Corsair HS70 Wireless are better wireless gaming headphones than the HyperX Cloud Flight. The Corsair look and feel quite a bit better built, and feel more stable on the head. The Corsair sound profile is also a bit better balanced and can be customized with a graphic EQ and presets through the companion software. The headphones are also much more consistent among various users than the HyperX, so you should experience the same sound reproduction every time you wear them. On the other hand, the microphone of the HyperX performs much better overall. The HyperX battery lasts way longer, and they can be used passively to listen to music, making them a better choice for day-to-day use.
