            Side-by-Side Comparison The SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless 2017 are a better gaming headset than the HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II. You get the freedom of wireless technology on top of better audio reproduction, and a great customization software. However, you'll have to manage battery life, which not everyone prefers.
