HyperX Cloud Alpha
Score: 79/100
Logitech G432 Black
Score: 77/100Rankings
The HyperX Cloud Alpha is a wired over-ear gaming headset featuring dual-chamber 50 mm drivers, an aluminum frame, and memory-foam leatherette cushions, delivering clear, balanced audio. Its main trade-off is the lack of wireless capability and active noise cancellation, making it less suitable for on-the-go use. It excels for gamers who prioritize comfort and sound fidelity across multiple platforms.
The Logitech G432 gaming headset offers 50 mm drivers with DTS Headphone:X 2.0 virtual 7.1 surround and a flip-to-mute boom mic. Its relatively heavy build and Windows-only software limit portability and feature access. Targeted at gamers looking for immersive surround sound on a budget.
