I have had SS and HyperX different products from these but i think they both had their advantages and disadvantages. ultimately i went the with SS and glad i did, the comfort of the headset is really what sells me on this brand and the audio for me i find it to be better than the hyper x. The SS is the wireless novas and the hyper x was the naruto edition clouds which now just serve as decoration in the crib.
Razer Nari Essential: used for 10+ hours daily for a few years until finally the volume rocker gave up. In total I had 2, and finally switched to HyperX Cloud 2 Core which I don’t really like that much because sometimes the headset crashes and restarts. If I could find the Nari again I would have bought it a 3rd time.
Alpha came out after Cloud II iirc. I don't know if there's any meaningful improvements over Cloud II however. As of the latter; I've owned a Cloud II and it was built like a goddamn tank. Sound quality is decent and I've spent countless hours in tactical FPS titles with that bad boy. I'd highly recommend it.
Love my hyperX. Sound great and so comfortable
Yup. Its sooo good and for such a great price. I also love the detachable microphone.
Really? I’ve bought 2 Kingston cloud 2s since 2017. My brother got a HP one a couple of months ago and it just didn’t sound as crisp. I asked him to do a blind rating and he knew which ones were which 🤷🤷 f knows. Just do whatever makes you happy

I always recommend something from HyperX. The cloud 2 has a more fun sound, while the cloud 3's are more balanced. I also find the 3's to be hands down the best for comfort and their wireless varieties (especially the 3 S) being the best tuned out of the box without eq
