Cloud III

This user currently uses the HyperX Cloud III and finds it a fine headset.

“The cloud 3’s are a fine headset. That’s why I currently use”

On Xbox Series X, this user likes the HyperX Cloud III's neutral sound without EQ and its volume, though they swapped to larger pads for big ears.

“I’m a big fan of a neutral/balanced sound-signature so the Cloud III fits my needs nicely even without any EQ”

A buyer of the wired HyperX Cloud III found its mic too quiet even with drivers and felt their old Pulse 3D was better overall.

“I have hyper-x cloud 3 wired version. Was comparing to my old Sony pulse 3d”

A long-time Cloud II user returned the wired Cloud III because the sound felt distant and footsteps were harder to pinpoint.

“Compared to my Cloud II, the sound felt much more distant”

Compared with the Nova Pro and Maxwell, a gamer finds the Cloud III more comfortable with excellent imaging, but flat-sounding.

“It’s much more comfortable and has some of the best imaging/stereo-matching (directional sound). My one gripe with HyperX was how flat it sounded”

Upgrading from years with the Cloud II, a gamer was very disappointed by the Cloud III.

“I had the HX cloud 2’s for several years. One of my favorite heads although I recently upgraded to the 3’s and was left very disappointed.”

After two years of 5-7 hour days, a user recommends the wired HyperX Cloud III for its sound and comfort, with ears barely getting sweaty.

“ive used a Hyperx Cloud 3 Wired for like 2 years now, and i can safely recommend this product.”

A user finds their hand-me-down HyperX Cloud III comfortable and durable enough to survive a broken mic tip.

“I have the hyperx cloud threes as a hand me down from my younger brother and it works fine Definitely comfy, i accidentally broke the tip of the mic and it still works.”

A user who prizes comfort didn't like the HyperX Cloud III because its clamp force felt too strong.

“didnt like the hyperx cloud 3 the clamp force felt too strong. Same with blackshark v3.”

A former HyperX Cloud III owner found it has no bass at all, a dealbreaker for cinematic games.

“The Cloud III on the other hand I used to own, and it has no bass whatsoever, which is also a dealbreaker for me.”

A player used the wired HyperX Cloud III for a long time before upgrading and calls it some of the best wired headphones for around $70.

“I used them for quite a while before I got my pc38x, they're some of the best wired cans you can get for 70$”

The wired Cloud III's audio is amazing, but on Xbox the mic volume fluctuates with faint static.

“the audios amazing but my mic fluctuates and there’s a really faint static sound.”

With big ears, finds the Cloud III very comfortable.

“Arcis is awfully painful for me and cloud 3 is very comfortable. But I have big ears”

Likes the Cloud III for competitive games but not single-player; EQ tuning helped but they still don't like the sound much.

“I like the cloud 3 for competitive gaming but I dont like using them for single player games I've tuned them abit which did improve the sound quality but I still dont like it that much”

Bought the Cloud III to replace their 8-year-old Cloud II and was disgusted by its worse out-of-the-box sound, so they are returning it.

“Naturally my first port of call was a pair of Cloud III’s, and frankly, I was disgusted at the degradation in out of the box sound quality and I will be immediately returning them.”

Found the HyperX Cloud III awful and returned it the same day.

“I tried to upgrade from the HS400 to a Hyper X Cloud 3 and it was just awful. I returned the same day”

Comfortable on their big head, but they don't think it sounds very good.

“I have hyperx cloud 3 but they don’t sound real good.”

Two months in they love it; with EQ tweaks the spatial sound in Arc Raiders is excellent for the price.

“I'm only 2nd month with the HyperX 3s. I love them.”
