HyperX - Cloud III (Wired)

Pro X. It sounds way better using equalizer apo. Now they are plenty loud. Sound quality though. I got the cloud iii. And I gotta say. They don't feel as premium as the pro X but man they are super comfortable and have some good surround or imaging. I think the pro X sounds better generally. But I like the surround better on the cloud iii. Not so muddy I have to turn bass down on the pro X. Both sound very good though using equalizer apo.

I just got the HyperX Cloud III S and have been extremely impressed, they tick off every box and are by far the comfiest headphones I've ever worn. Even more so than my trusty ol' XM3s. My friends said the microphone sounded good too.

Hyperx clouds only because of how light they are. I work in music and have an amazing pair of audio technicas and even though they're not SUPER heavy, they really hurt my head during long gaming sessions.

Hyperx clouds, tbh they are wonderful

Wired Hyperx, because EVERY BT buds are waking up my Deck randomly.

I'm partial to HyperX anymore myself, after having tested and tried mostly all other brands. I use Logitech for everything but the headsets/headphones anymore. A lot of it comes to personal preference and budget, I get that. But as a home grown audio producer, nothing has come close to my wired hyperX cloud III both for pretty solid audio production in FL studio as well as gaming as you can always fine tune things with EQ for specific game genres. It even works phenomenally well with my ps5 pro. No complaints and a decent price point for such great quality in my opinion.

Ive had good experience with the HyperX cloud range

Wish i still had my kingston hyperx, they sadly died, but are still my favourite headset I've ever had

Yeah that seems to be the general consensus for pc is to get some non gaming headphones. I'm good with that. We'll see how these other ones sound I'm sure I'll have to do some tweaking to the eq. I see complaints about the cloud iii but others swear by em. We'll see what happens. Praise the lord for free Amazon returns lol.

Hmm yes I think I can see what you mean, but I had to turn on discord sounds, I don't use em, so this isn't a problem for me. Should also add, if you are connected to voice in Discord, this won't happen. So need to worry about sitting in a call that's gone silent and having them 'wake up'.

Clamp in Cloud 3 is fine. The other commentor forgets that it's a new headset. Cloud 2 also had clamp pressure when I first bought it. So does every headset on the planet. You will need to loosen the headset by either using it for a few weeks or putting it over a headset holder or just some books. Overall the Cloud 3 comfort is way better than Cloud 2. Having said that, I prefer Cloud Alpha's comfort to these 2. The ear cups of the alpha are so thick and nice

the hyperX cloud is a good fps headphones and have a decent mic

I used a cloud II for a few years, started flaking and got a cloud III because number bigger + on sale (both were wired and i did not use the headset mic). Sound quality feels the same to me, ill have to see how this one handles with age but OOTB its comfy (MAYBE comfier than the 2 not sure). Overall, both will treat you well

If I switch the actual dac to the older g pro dac I can used spatial audio and still retain the ghub functionality. I think it's a crap solution though. It shouldn't be this way. And I use a Logitech mouse and keyboard as well and have for quite some time. If I just used the onboard audio without the dac they sound better too. I'm ordering several headsets. Gonna return which I don't like and keep one. So far I've got the cloud iii and might try the senheiser set for 160. We'll see what happens.

Hyperx Cloud 3, the best in quality-price. In more professional audio, Audio-Technica M50x.

Save up and get a HyperX Cloud III. Shit will last you years and has excellent sound quality.

Anything wired, I'm using HyperX Cloud 3's

For real. Cloud is the best headphones for it's price on the market. Wireless is the best.

Hyper X Cloud variants are typically what I recommend.

Yeah that same part has broken on every pair of HyperX Clouds I've owned. I had two pairs that lasted decent length, but then I just opened a new pair like 2 months ago and that piece is already broken again. I used to be a fan but now I'm searching for a new brand.

I just bought a HyperX cloud III and it is the lightest, best fitting most comfortable headset I've ever used. The sound quality is also excellent.

I ordered the cloud 2 and I love it honestly, took a minute to get used to but the sound is better for valorant which is what i play, the back of the sound controls has a lcip so i can just clip it onto something else. Both are honestly great imo.

I've had the Hyper Cloud X. The plastic part holding the earphone to the base has broken 2x. The first time they reluctantly replaced the headphones after a month of arguing. The second time they wouldn't. They don't sell the little plastic piece so you have to find a 3d printer to pay for them to be made. Total waste and won't buy their product again.

Alienware AW920H(Wireless) and HyperX Cloud III(Wired) for Gaming.

So I've had these OG g pros not x for 5 years. Got them when they first came out in 2019 for 100$. Well I really liked them. Prime day deals had them 69$. Ordered them up and the audio is worse? What's the deal here? I play bf2042 a lot. My original g pros using the dac and dts enabled in windows spatial settings sounded fantastic. I could hear people from all directions fine. Well this new dac for the pro X has it only through g hub. It sounds muffled. The foot steps are literally non existent and all I hear is explosions and gun fire across the map but before had no problem. Fiddled with the eq got it to sound slightly better but it's not even in the realm of the g pro using the windows setting for dts. I paid for a license years back as I didn't realize they made just a g pro non x. Wondered for years why I had no surround setting in g hub. Any fix before I return these things? Not trying to spend an arm and leg and feel I just wasted $$ because despite the condition of the 5 year old g pros they work fine and sound great still I just figured it was a good time to buy a backup on sale and was torn on the cloud iii vs these but had good luck with the previous set. G hub was uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version before plugging them in. Also the blue voice.... In 5 years are very competitive gaming. Never once heard someone say I sound weird. Or bad. Or anything. Now using the blue voice everyone says I sound weird and completely different.

I've been happy with the HyperX Cloud III too. No complaints on sound quality and they are super comfy for those longer sessions

Comfort is definitely subjective, but the 3's have been the comfiest for me out of all the ones I've tried from hyperx! The earcup part of the headset are angled as well as the drivers inside so my ears never touch any part of the headphones. The clamping force on the sides of your head is very light and the cushion on the headband is very plush c:

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

I'm still going to give them a chance and am trying a few drive related things. However. I did receive the cloud iii. Still have rather low volume but. I do think they sound better in a way cause the surround sound actually seems better. But not loud enough. But! These things are super super comfortable in comparison to the g pro. Not that the g pro wasn't. Build quality definitely goes to the g pro though they feel better built. Gonna spend a week using each of these after I get some other things dialed in.

I use the Hyper X Cloud and love it

All I can attest to is the hinges on these things break easy as hell lmao They both sound crispy. The 3 is the one that doesn't soundbas crispy.

Not sure if you have ordered yet, I currently have a pair of wired cloud 3s, they are great, the mic is very good, only issue i had was the wire always got stuck under my chair wheel because of how long it was which eventually led the usbc being ripped out. Everyone i have spoken to has preferred the cloud 2 and the cloud 2 is used by a lot more fps streamers and pros, i am likely going to order the cloud 2s so i can give you my opinion if you still need.

I just got a pair of these, downloaded the software (non beta version) it updated firmware, no other changes. I tested with volume at 0 for 5 minutes, volume at 20% for 5 minutes etc. There was no sleep mode or delayed wakeup and no pop in with audio. This must be a firmware/driver issue or peoples personal Windows/hardware setup. Can also atest these sound amazing compared to anything wireless in the price range aside from Fractal maybe.

ch720n is fine but if you can stretch budget a bit, get a proper gaming headset, 720s are like a mid-tier for a reason; you'll feel the difference in positional audio. 90% of us are on something like a HyperX or HyperX Cloud, not a budget Sony.

Yeah honestly you'll have a hard time beating them for that price. Here's a review of them from someone else: [https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperX/comments/19dv8z3/cloud\_3\_honest\_review/](https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperX/comments/19dv8z3/cloud_3_honest_review/)

Agreed I have tried the cloud3s but it's missing like I don't feel like I'm using the headphones at their 100% of volume

Headset mics are always never better than "it's fine", and HyperX Cloud III's definitely fall into that bracket.

I actually think I'm gonna try the cloud iii and return whichever one sounds worse. I see complaints on those but they're a newer set for the same price. On my OG g pros I can use atmos and all the spatial settings while retaining ghub eq and mic settings. They just don't have the blue voice which I really don't care for anyway now after trying it. And no surround option through ghub. I figured they'd be better or atleast the same through g hub but not this LOL in bf2042 people can litterally run on concrete inside a building right next to me and I can't hear them. That's an absolute deal breaker for me cause I could hear people across the room on the g pro non x with dts enabled through spatial setting in windows. It's like they forced you to use ghub with the pro x to have dts and it's a downgrade now. WHY LOL

I've honestly tried everything at this point. Equalizer apo and peace gui. Nothing works except turning off dts completely. I used different drivers using with ghub and without and Think I'm gonna send these back. I got the cloud iii. And while I objectively think the 69.99 for the g pro x is better deal than the same price for the cloud iii. I like the sound and comfort more on the cloud iii. Both great headsets otherwise and the pro X feels more premium but the cloud doesn't feel cheap by any means it's metal too. Just much lighter. I even used them plugged directly to motherboard without the dac. The clouds have less bass. But more like middle and treble even trying to match them eq wise they sound different. They sound more full and bright or natural. Where as the g pro x sound like im in a theater or something.
