HyperX Cloud Alpha S vs Logitech G935 - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let's take a closer look at the differences between the Cloud Alpha S* and G935* gaming headsets.
What year are the headsets from?
The release year is of course important when comparing two headsets. After all, the release date has an influence on the state of the art and usually also affects the price. The HyperX Cloud Alpha S is from the year 2020 and thus newer than the Logitech G935. This one is from the year 2019. Which puts about a year between the two models.
Connection options
Let's start with the connectivity options from HyperX Cloud Alpha S and Logitech G935. Both give you the option to be wired. A wired connection reduces connection problems and interference, which is an advantage. In return, the cable can possibly interfere.
Radio offers the disadvantage that there can be interference in the verdinbung. In addition, with radio you are usually dependent on a battery, which can also go flat during use. Only with the Logitech G935* do you get the option to connect wirelessly. This is not possible with the HyperX Cloud Alpha S. However, often the wireless headsets also offer the additional option to connect the headset via cable.
Cable and battery
In this comparison, only the Logitech G935 has an integrated battery. The Logitech G935 has a battery life of up to 12,0 hours.
The cable can be removed from both headsets. This is convenient for transport or when used wirelessly. The Logitech G935* offers more in cable length with 2,0 m. With the HyperX Cloud Alpha S the cable has a length of 1,0 m. If a USB sound card is included, there may be additional cable.
Audio
Both gaming headsets have a driver of 50 mm and thus do not differ. The bigger the driver, the better and louder low frequencies can be reproduced. However, it depends on more factors and can therefore only be taken as a small benchmark.
For the HyperX Cloud Alpha S the frequency range starts at 13 Hz. For the Logitech G935 the value is at 20 Hz. The end is at HyperX Cloud Alpha S for the 27000 Hz and at Logitech G935 for the 20000 Hz. What is really important here is the range between 50 Hz and 10,000 Hz, which is covered by just about every headset nowadays.
The higher the impedance, the more power a speaker can produce. Also the sound becomes clearer. With a value of 39 Ω the HyperX Cloud Alpha S* performs better here. The impedance of the Logitech G935 is at a value of 39 Ω.
Both gaming headsets have the option for 7.1 surround sound.
Microphone
Of course, both headsets have a microphone built in, which is also adjustable. The microphone can be removed on the HyperX Cloud Alpha S when it is not needed. This can be interesting in single mode. It can also be an advantage during transport.
The microphone frequency range of the HyperX Cloud Alpha S starts at 13 Hz. The microphone of the Logitech G935 starts at 20 Hz. The microphone of the HyperX Cloud Alpha S ends at a frequency range of 27000 Hz. The frequency range from the microphone of the Logitech G935 ends at 20000 Hz.
Volume control and mute
Almost every gaming headset offers the possibility of volume control and mute. So it is also in this case.
Both models offer the option of muting. The HyperX Cloud Alpha S is operated via Cable. With the Logitech G935 the control runs per Auricle.
Which headset has more features?
Finally, let's take a look at the equipment. Here, some models have lighting. There is a difference, because only the Logitech G935 offers you an illumination. Of course, this has only optical effects and does not make the HyperX Cloud Alpha S directly worse.
Furthermore, some headsets have freely programmable buttons, as is also known from gaming mice or keyboards. This function gives you only the Logitech G935. At the number there are - keys.
