The Logitech G933 is an incredibly well built headset, and the overall design of the G933 looks great. They have a futuristic look to them and the custom RGB lighting supports 16 million beautiful colors. The removable side plates reveal the battery and USB Bluetooth dongle, giving easy access to change the battery or store the dongle while traveling. The Logitech G933 comes with a fold-away, noise cancelling, flexible microphone that can extend to your desired length. Folding up the microphone will mute it, making for quick, easy, and convenient muting and un-muting when those times arise.
The ear cups are made of a breathable mesh material that fits over the ears, allowing for a comfortable and sweat free experience even after hours of gaming. On the back of the left ear cup, there are several functional buttons and 1 wheel. The wheel at the bottom of the ear cup controls the volume level, while the 3 Logitech buttons above it are fully programmable using the Logitech gaming software. There is a button above the volume wheel that is dedicated to muting/un-muting the headset, but you might not find yourself using it often with the microphone having a mute function when it’s raised.

The HyperX cloud stinger is a comfortable, lightweight, and affordable headset. Like the rest of the HyperX line, it provides you with a better headset than other brands at the same price point!
The Cloud Stinger has a plain design, with the entire headset being matte black and the only color being the red logo on the side of either ear cup. The ear cups are made of a foam that is similar to leather, and is actually comfortable to wear the headset for hours on end! The ear cups themselves have a unique feature that makes each side able to turn and lay flat, either on your chest or in your travel bag.
Another cool feature of the Cloud Stinger is that the microphone is self muting if you swivel it up, making for quick, easy, and convenient muting and un-muting when those times arise.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha headset is comfortable, lightweight, and premium headset. With it’s usual HyperX design, the color scheme is black with red accents even including the stitching on the leather headband. The built quality with HyperX headsets is undoubtedly one of their strong suits and is no different with this item. The headset has an aluminum frame that is very flexible yet maintains it structural integrity. Thanks to the minimal use of plastic in its construction and how well it is built, creaking sounds or the headset breaking is not really an issue. The headband has stiff adjustment notches that are well defined and will not change unless you desire. The headset has a mild clamping force, preventing headaches or fatigue during longer gaming sessions.
The HyperX Cloud Alpha ear cups are fitted with a very, very comfortable leather that is so supple and luxurious that you absolutely have to feel and wear to believe. The ear cups provide a good seal around the ears, giving you great isolation from any background noise such as a television, conversation, or sound from your keyboard. The provided microphone is detachable, flexible, and features excellent noise cancelling, keeping things like your keyboard and other outside noises from being picked up by your microphone. The Cloud Alpha microphone is very crisp, clear, durable, and is arguably the best for any headset at this price point ($100).
The sound quality in the Cloud Alpha is another incredible aspect. The implementation of dual chamber drivers provide good separation between the bass, mids, and highs. Initial testing involved listening to music, where the Cloud Alpha excelled, although some listeners may desire a heavier bass presence. Gameplay with the Cloud Alpha is immersive and where the headset really shines, with everything being clear and distinguishable.
