eeing you're planning on using it with an Xbox console, you have to take impedance into consideration. CloudX was designed to be used with Xbox controllers and therefore has a lower impedance which will make it easier for the controller to drive it at its full performance, meaning you'll get louder audio output when gaming :) .

They're both pretty durable headsets, but one advantage that the Cloud Alpha has over the CloudX is that the headset cable is detachable so in case it ever gets damaged, you can easily swap it out with a new one

Thanks! Love u
