Our Verdict
Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset
HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset are better gaming headphones than the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless. While both headphones are comfortable, the Logitech headphones have a more robust companion software and a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer. They also have lower latency. Conversely, the HyperX are better built, and their battery life is significantly longer. Unfortunately, some users have reported that they have very high latency when using their companion app's features.
