Logitech G Pro X vs HyperX Cloud II and Cloud Alpha

[@noxustds]

Continue this and you'll become the golden standard of headsets reviews like RocketJumpNinja is with mice. AMAZING video.

[@Niki006]

Great comparisson bro. You can feel its from a legit gamer for gamers not a seller who obviously recommend the most expensive in the end. Now Im not that suprised that cloud2 are used in pro fps gaming more often than g pro instead of unlimited budget of pro players & price difference (which in europe is pretty significant - clouds2 are 2/3 price of g pro x) Now Im definetly going for cloud 2.

[@ghostkiller4865]

my man here is giving all the details we need. this is one of the best reviews i've ever saw so keep going mate!

[@Suntika]

Great video edit cuts. no beating around the bush. quick cuts let me get to the info quickly.

[@nnwccc]

Thank you, man. I was searching for more than a day for a perfect headset that fits me, i play rainbow six siege a lot, mostly addicted to fps and long long session of gaming, therefore comfort is a key for me. Already got myself a usb mic, so the mic quality don't bother me, so my final choice made is the Cloud 2, thanks to your in depth reviews. 💯

[@nnwccc]

@Dee Vallar i got u bro, but not now, i will test with it few days later, as I'm currently having exams. Also just received my cloud 2, they are so comfy and music wise is good enough too.

[@nnwccc]

@Dee Vallar so after 2 weeks of usage, mainly on rainbow six siege and normal music listening only, i need to say that this headset is the best for the game for audio quality and comfort. It has so much details going on and should be fine for u to grind the game.

[@nnwccc]

@yassir Sr im gonna be honest with u, there's no perfect audio device for r6 because the game's audio is already trash since long time ago. I've been playing siege since 2016 with different audio devices and I really feel that there's none marked as better to one another, u can just slap in your phone earphones and play because you really can't expect good audio quality from the game itself.

[@nnwccc]

@yassir Sr as to your main question, i highly recommend cloud 2 because both surround sound are trash, however to compare long-time comfort, weight and pricing, cloud 2 obviously is the winner here

[@nnwccc]

@yassir Sr no problem, hope my comments help other r6 players too

[@jostingrados3526]

Cloud Alpha: Lo recomienda para uso general, Edición de video, Jugar juegos inmersivos o todo tipo de cosas, pero no para juegos FPS Competitivos. Cloud 2: Muy recomendado, para juegos FPS Competitivos. G PRO X: No lo recomienda porque para que se escuche "Mejor o Muy Bien" Se tiene que configurar con el ecualizador del software, Pero las comparaciones que, él hace son con los dispositivos en modo fabrica sin ninguna configuración de software.

Amazing review, I have changed to the cloud II from the G PRO bc of the comfort and you're on point, they are far away more comfortable than the g pro. The only thing is could you show your eq settings? would be great. Thank for your job man.

[@venimus777]

Probably the issues with your mobile phone are caused by the different impedance which the phone does not expect (or like). Phones use impedance to detect the headphones features and controllers

what do you recommend for fortnite ¿Cloud ii or Cloud alpha s?

[@Neophyte101]

I have the Logitech Pro X for a while and i'm really disappointed in them, so much that i just ordered the HyperX cloud II. The reason for this is the volume of the Logitech headset. It's very low volume.... 😞 . My new HyperX should be here tomorrow... Can't wait 😀 Hoping the volume will be louder. Pritty much my only reason for buying them.

[@LucasSilva-dz7hg]

how is your cloud 2?

[@Neophyte101]

@@LucasSilva-dz7hg the HyperX Cloud 2 is way better in terms of volume and clarity. I like them allot, much much better then my Logitech Pro X. I’m using my onboard soudcard that is on the MSI Z370 SLI Plus mainboard. The volume is way louder and without any changes to bass or treble, they sound well balanced and without distortion. The Logitech sounds muddy and volume is way low. I also love the control box for volume of the headset itself and for the microphone. I like the buttons more then scroll wheels that you see on most headsets. My opinion is that scroll wheels can over time become loose or crackling may occur over time. With press buttons like on the HyperX Cloud 2 none of this will happen. Also when you clip it on your shirt, you can’t accidentally put the volume down or up course you have to press the button instead of a scroll wheel. “I like it.” Sound is also very good, good clean bass and a very wide mid and high stage sound. I wish I found these headset earlier. Most of the time I buy the expensive stuff so it must be good right ? Well, I was wrong with the Logitech Pro X. Cheers,

I play warzone a lot on PC. I recently bought a hyper x cloud alpha but after watching your video I was inclined towards cloud 2. Should I return cloud alpha and buy cloud 2 or Can you please suggest equalizer settings for cloud alpha for playing warzone? Thankyou.

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

You're good with the Alpha. You don't have to do anything crazy - just boost the sound around 4Kz. That's around the frequency that affects footsteps the most in Warzone and Cold War. There are some legit EQ guides, but I find just boosting that by ~12 dB gets you a similar sound to the Cloud II, it just won't be quite as loud.

[@SIVAAA]

@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews Thanks for the quick reply. After adjusting my EQ at 4Kz to 12 dB, I can hear the footsteps more clearly. Thanks for the quick tip.

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

General use I'd get the Alpha definitely. It's better for more use cases, especially when you EQ it.

[@virtual9003]

I bought the G Pro X last week. I was super hyped by those but i'm very disappointed... Why you're wondering ? Well it's because of the comfort which is absolute crap. My ears are touching the drivers and after a couple minutes it hurts so badly. I've tried the leather and cloth that comes in the box but even with both it hurts. To push things further, I also bought 3rd party earcups (don't remember the brand but they were more padded) and even with them the comfort was non-existent. I returned them.

[@YEPCLOCK69]

Yeah, I wish the comfort was the only issue. The sound is absolute dogshit compared to by Cloud II's. Pro X sounds so muffled and muddy, I truly do not understand how so many reviewers say they are good.

[@justinepuyot9537]

Can cloud alpha be good in fps games? It is quite hard to find the cloud 2 here in my area

Yeah, it's still really good. The sound isn't drastically different from the Cloud II.

The Alpha S is the best sounding headset of all the ones I tested so it's a great choice. But if you're using it for many hours at a time, I think the Cloud II might be better just because the ear cushions are softer. Sound isn't quite a good, but it's super comfortable.

I see other reviews say this headset is miles above. If the reviewers are going to be so mixed, I have no idea who is right or right or maybe, neither. Makes no sense, i detect its more about reviewer preference really which is not helpful so far because I do not know who is talking BS and who is not. I saw the headset that you considered the best but there almost 300£, that's shit loads, no longer budget at that point.

@@Anglo-Brit The Cloud II definitely does not come out on top every time on my channel. The Penrose, Astro A40, A30, and Drop + EPOS PC38X all beat it easily. It sounds like you're looking for an objective answer to a subjective question. If I gave you two flavors of ice cream and asked which one you like better there's no wrong answer. And just because other people choose a different flavor doesn't mean one of you is BSing. The same thing goes for sound and comfort. The exception is a frequency response graph. Those vary wildly depending on the testing method, but if you insist on wanting something concrete, go to Soundguys or RTings and base your purchase off of those graphs. If you don't trust reviewers at all, just test them both in the store. Or buy both and send the one back that you don't like.

I live in England, its to bloody cold to go out and to wet so I will look up the headsets that you said were better.
