Cloud III S Wireless

A brand-new Cloud III S Wireless felt too isolating and not very comfortable to them.

Coming from the Cloud 2, they find the Cloud 3 S sounds hollow even after lots of EQ work.

After trying two Cloud 3 S units, found them very bass-heavy, washing out vocals and detail even with different pads; the earcups are also smaller than expected.

Coming from the Cloud 2, they were very disappointed with the Cloud 3 S's sound quality and volume.

The Cloud 3 S they bought to replace an old Kraken gave them a headache lasting three or four days, which vanished when they switched back.

Bought the Cloud III S Wireless about six months ago for around $125.

Their HyperX Cloud III S Wireless serves them well for gaming and calls, switching smoothly between Bluetooth and the wireless dongle.

A long-time Cloud II user found the Cloud III S Wireless more comfortable with a better mic, but its in-game positional sound was worse.

An owner of the HyperX Cloud III S says it's well tuned out of the box with great directional sound, comfort and a good mic for the price.

“Hyperx Cloud 3s (confusing, but the “S” version) has been awesome so far.”

An owner of the HyperX Cloud 3 S Wireless is happy with it but had a loose extension clip on two units, and says it needs an EQ adjustment to sound its best.

“The clip that holds the extension being loose was a real pain in the butt.”

A PC player who got the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless a month ago finds it plug-and-play and much better than their old Logitech G733, with a mic clear enough for the price in Arc Raiders, PUBG and Dota 2.

Genuinely impressed by the Cloud III S, especially for gaming, though they wish it had full parametric EQ.

“I think you’d be happy with the IIIS. I’m genuinely pretty impressed with them (though I’d love if they built in full parametric EQ).”

After trying several headsets, the Cloud III S Wireless is best for gaming, though a bit too bassy and it gives them ear fatigue.

“Best so far is cloud 3s for gaming, it's a little too bassy imo”

Stopped using it because the sidetone was too low, though the driver tune is almost perfect out of the box.

“I don’t use them now as sidetone was too low”

Excellent sound, but gets a little warm, the pads may wear quickly and PC shows many confusing outputs.

“sound quality is excellent. headset can get a little warm, and i dont think the pads will last very long but lucky they are easily replaceable.”

More comfortable and better sounding than their old Logitech Pro X.

“Im using hyperx cloud 3s right now and they're more comfortable and the sound so good to me i came from Logitech pro x”

Incredibly comfortable and feels high quality; sounds great with a decent mic for 115 euros.

“Just today bought HyperX Cloud III s wireless. They are incredibly comfy and feels really quality.”

Sounded hollow and tinny to them.

“I disagree when people says that the audio quality of cloud 3s is good. it sounded hollow and tinny”

Tried both: sounds better than the BlackShark V3 Pro for music, but footsteps were easier on the Razer.

“Hyperx cloud 3s definitely sounds better in the music department”

Comfortable with little pressure on the head.

“For me its cloud 3 s, they are comfy and doesnt put a lot of pressure on your head.”

Two weeks in: comfortable, with standard pads and a user-replaceable battery for longevity.

“I bought the cloud 3s 2 weeks ago to replace my 6yo hyperx cloud flight headset. They are comfortable”

Returned them; far worse than HD 560S headphones.

“Bought them after i returned my cloud 3s, they were shit compared to hd560s”
