Our Verdict
HyperX Cloud Flight
HyperX Cloud Mix Wireless
The HyperX Cloud Mix Wireless and HyperX Cloud Flight models perform similarly but are designed for different uses. The Cloud Mix are wired gaming headphones that you can use wirelessly with your phone thanks to their Bluetooth compatibility, while the Flight are wireless gaming headphones that you can use passively when on the go with an audio cable, though they're audio-only when used wired. Overall, the Mix feel better built, but the Flight can be used wirelessly with PS4 and PC since they use a USB receiver and don't rely on Bluetooth for a wireless connection.
