HyperX Cloud Alpha
Score: 78/100
Logitech G733 Black
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Logitech G733 provides a lightweight 278 g wireless experience with up to 29 hours of battery life, DTS Headphone:X 2.0 surround sound and a detachable Blue VO!CE microphone. It sacrifices active noise cancellation and has reduced battery life when RGB lighting is on, and it lacks a wired mode. Best suited for gamers who value immersive audio and customizable RGB.
The HyperX Cloud Alpha is a wired over-ear headset praised for its solid build and balanced audio thanks to dual-chamber 50 mm drivers. Its main trade-offs are the lack of wireless freedom and active noise cancellation. Ideal for gamers who value comfort and reliable wired performance across multiple platforms.

“legendary comfort - no head fatigue after hours”
Professional reviewers and editors consistently commend the G733 for its blend of lightweight comfort, high-quality audio, and reliable LIGHTSPEED wireless connectivity. The inclusion of Blue VO!CE mic processing and DTS Headphone:X 2.0 surround is highlighted as delivering clear communication and immersive sound, while the extensive RGB customization is noted as a strong aesthetic advantage.
Everyday users love the headset's comfort, clear mic and easy inline controls, especially for long gaming sessions, but they frequently mention headband padding softening, hard ear pads at first use, and the need for Windows-only software to unlock full surround capabilities.
