HyperX Cloud III Wireless Headset Review - I'm shocked...

[@Simon_Hawkshaw]

What an incredible review. Your use of the tuning data is spot on. Not too geeky to lose us, but in-depth enough to keep us focused and interested. Well done, Sir. Your inclusion of gaming experience is also very helpful. Thank you as always for your time and hard work compiling the data repository for reference. Take care and all the best.

[@Juice_VI]

They fixed a lot on this vs the wired version. The mic sounds better, side tone actually works, EQ works and the mic mute button doesn’t make a loud pop when you click it. I returned the wired version because of these issues so I think I’ll give the wireless version a shot.

[@Novskyy621]

Don't forget the way better neutral sound profile

[@iParacord]

Do they work on Xbox x?

[@troy028]

​@@iParacorddon't think so.

[@clawson32104]

Bought these for the PS5 for $129 and they are great. They are so comfortable and need no tuning right out of the box.

[@Danzavier]

I have both and the Wired is better for competitive fps like siege and Valorant, I can hear footstep and minor details better than wireless. Wireless is better all around because it has a little more bass. But for competitive edge fps I’d go wired. Gonna keep them both.

[@dieushade]

For the mic, put the default format to 32000 Hz in the Microphone Properties > Advanced tab (In Windows Control Panel, under System > Sound). Default 16000 hz and sounds more like a recording, 32k is more like talk radio, it's super clean. What an amazing mic and heaset all around. I tested some DTS tests on youtube, you really feel like it's comming from everywhere... thanks to that driver tilt!

[@aaronisenhauer3551]

Thank you for your review. You were spot on with the sound and quality. Recently bought bs v2 pro 2023, i returned them and picked these up. I absolutely love them.

I'm a huge fan of HyperX. I just wished they showed more love to Xbox as far as wireless goes. It's been almost 3 years, if I'm not mistaken, since their last Xbox wireless headset. I own the HyperX CloudX Flight and they're just ok, and I also own the HyperX CloudX Stinger Core direct pair for Xbox and they're excellent, but it's time for them to bring something new to the Xbox.

[@TheSilentTiger89]

I just decided to get a wired CloudX Alpha because I really love HyperX and sacrificing wireless is worth it to me. Or so I hope lol. Nobody has better build quality than them.

[@dodo19923]

@@TheSilentTiger89 I have the OG cloud 2 wired and they've had a hell of a life. I've beaten the crap out of them for 6-7 years and they're still going strong. If the cloud3 wireless are even half as good as the could 2's i'll be happy for sure.

[@Soei23]

The best headset review channel on the web. PERIOD.

[@FaelonZ]

comparing these to the cloud alpha that cut in the 8k and 12k are so apparent. I found myself boosting the higher and lower frequencies for these quite a lot. Maybe I'm just used to that V curve in things idk, but without it I would completely not even hear certain things in songs, higher frequency intricacies in songs etc

[@DBfdsa]

I upgraded from Cloud 2 wireless to Cloud 3 wireless, mainly because of the significantly longer battery life. The new headset arrived today and I'm shocked at the poor sound compared to the previous model. The sound feels so thin and weak, there is absolutely no bass. I tried a bit with the HyperX software and also installed DTS Sound Unbound. The HyperX software does absolutely nothing, with DTS Sound Unbound it is a little better, but still no comparison to the previous model. Headset is back in the box and will be sent back. I can't understand how the sound is perceived as good by the majority

[@RubenStolp]

Man your content is really good. Keep it up. The graphs, measuring with different pads, the eq's for games, real value videos. It just amazes me how much of a surprise every unboxing and testing still is even though I at this point know well what frequency regions I dislike and what kind of curve is what my best sounding (to me) gear have. The freq response on the cloud iii wireless looked so damn good, and you mentioning the sidetone is great also got me really excited, exactly what I want from a headset. But upon getting them, putting them on and listening to music and gaming I was just immediately disappointed by the overall sound and timbre. Shouty, no air, bass okay, small soundstage, congested feeling. Fine ingame, but not worth the price imo. My Cloud Core Wireless sounds better to me. Will be returning these, it looks great on paper but reality came in hard. Keep doing what you're doing man, it is quality content.

Did you ever EQ it with equalizer apo and peace add on? That transforms it big time!

I'm impressed you said this has the best sidetone, I've had all hyper X headsets and most of them have crap or no sidetone except the cloud flight X Xbox version that sidetone is incredible so I'm wrapped to here this one has it to

[@rgnarboneta]

Hi @GadgetryTech, taking my chances on getting a reply on you. I'm considering this and the HS80 for a wireless headset mostly for gaming and has a good-great microphone. I'm a bit stumped. My budget is around the $100-200 mark. I hope this gets to you!

[@batina12431]

From this day you are my main guy for headphones.

[@TyrannosaurusTim]

Incredible headset I love it. Added it to my collection. Got the Cloud 2, Cloud Alpha, Cloud 3 all in the wired and wireless variants.

[@markus9641]

Something I noticed with the Cloud 3 Wireless, is the mic doesn't pick up any sound leakage from the headset. I've had this problem with the Cloud Alphas and Cloud 2 (wired) and it's been quite annoying as someone who speaks in voice chat a lot and has relatively high volume on. The Cloud 3's from my testing, doesn't pick up any sound, even like super loud music doesn't get through to the mic. Super impressed so far with that alone.

[@clawson32104]

Returned my TB Atlas Air for the Cloud 3 and couldn't be happier. The Atlas were great except I couldn't live with the low volume on PS5. It was terrible both out of the box and after updating the firmware. The Cloud 3 are perfect. You mentioned sidetone and I'm wondering if that is something that needs adjusting in the software on PC. I'm not noticing it much out of the box.

[@HasimFN]

Is that the only reason? Because i heard the atlas was very good

Thanks for this. I was torn between this and the MMX200. I would've prefered the Beyerdynamic, but the battery life, the oval earpads and the fact that it's 50€ cheaper pushed me towards the Cloud 3. I ordered it already. Thanks again!

[@astronomical7222]

This headset feels so good around the ears, especially for people with big ears like me. Feels very light and sound is great. The only things I do not like about this headset is it takes 5-10 seconds of holding the power button to turn it on and off, and once it is on there is no LED indicator to let you know it is on. But besides that this is a 9/10 headset at it's price point.

[@granat7241]

I had the wired Cloud II headset and it was the best headset I've ever had, hopefully I'll be able to say the same thing about these. I've always been pretty skeptical about wireless headsets, but I'm gonna give this one a try. You've convinced me :D

[@bilgekaancetinkaya5717]

What is your thoughts about Cloud 3? You like em?

[@granat7241]

​@@bilgekaancetinkaya5717 Yeah, they are great. The battery life is out of this world, I only had to charge them like twice since I bought them and I play a lot of CS2. They are very comfy, so no headaches from too long gaming sessions. Range is very good, I had no problems walking around the house with them on. Just one note from me - they're great for gaming, but if you wanna listen to music on them, then you might be a bit disappointed. It's not like they're horrible for music, but still, I wouldn't recommend them for that. Oh, and the mic is really good, definitely the best I've had in a gaming headset. If you buy them - remember to install the software "NGENUITY" and update them, the sound feels much better afterwards.

[@nishino3592]

Thoughts now ?

[@granat7241]

​@@nishino3592 It's a great headset, the battery life is absolutely amazing. I'm past my skeptical phase about wireless headsets now. Microphone is much better than in the wired Cloud II's, which was the main issue that I had with them. Sound is different, requires a bit of time to get used to, but I'd say that it's on the same or very similar level. They are also very comfy, but heavier than wired II's. During longer sessions (like 4-5h) with the headset and glasses on, it can hurt a bit, not too bad though. Overall, I really recommend it, best headset I've had.

[@RoxxSerm]

I had the first Hyper X Cloud almost like 10 years back? Which i loved to the core. Then i swapped to a Logitech, which broke at the adjustmentsliders pretty quickly. Then i went to Beyerdynamics Costume Game which i have to this day for years. Its superb, but its slowly falling apart. I need a new one and man youre selling me Hyper X again. Combined with my desire to go wireless again after a long time, and the nostalgia i have for hyper x... i cant resist.

[@jimeyhat]

The Cloud Flight S was absolutely outstanding and I'm disappointed it was discontinued but hoping these will compare. Thanks for the review

[@vsChris]

Lately i've been struggling with deciding between these, the Arctis Nova 7s and the Blackshark V2 Pros as a replacement for my GPX Wireless headset. The GPX literally started to hurt the top of my head if I wear it for more than 2 hours so it unfortunately has to go. I just need to make a decision on which to get - they all seem to be great headsets.

@@aceapex3352 I hated the nova 7. The sound was terrible for me and just sounded so weird, like when I played 7d2d I could hear the zombies a mile away, but couldn't tell if there were 5 feet from me or 2 houses down. Also the back round sounds tin the game were so loud, li,e a wall touch was blasting in me head and the main sounds were drown out. Same with sons of the forest, the water sound was sooo loud I had to move my base away from any water. The sound was just so weird and I returned them for wired h6pro closed back and they are much better sounding, but not wireless.

[@Drewsterman777]

@@Ryan-re1rs I agree. I've had the Arctis 7x and Nova 7x and both sounded terrible. The mid range sounded odd and the treble was odd sounding as well. The mic sucked. The earpads were too shallow for me even with aftermarket earpads. i've used a few audiophile grade headphones so I have an understanding of what good audio should sound like and the 7s do not perform well.

Now we got these Hyper X, Cloud III, BlackShark V2 Pro all wireless too. Also the treble on Nova 7s literally pinch my ears, i still dont get the rave about them other than its features

[@korcankarakoc]

Yeah, Im using Nova 7p, I have no clue why the Novas are so hyped out there. Its surely not bad as a headset but in my opinion the weak and bad clampforce destroys a lot of good sounds and base. And something you forgot.. Some years ago, in 2019 Audio Technica brought out the G1WL and it not only has a amazing sound for everything, it has way the best Microphone out here! Til today its unbeaten. Cloud 3 and Blackshark 2023 have over average Mics only and are not really impressing me

This are perfect for my desk, I actually like this sound profile for everything, music movies games...

On the Cloud 3s, its 16khz by default. Bumping it to 32khz makes it sound like a radio mic. So good, kind of bummed because I just bought the Alphas and the Cloud IIIs, and I'm already thinking the IIIs look better than the Alphas in sound quality and comfort.

Hey Joe! Great review as usual. Do you review speakers sometimes? Recently I got Edifier G2000's - cheap edifier speakers that are really small but in my opinion they sound amazing for the price! I stopped watching stuff on yt with my headset and so on, and even some games sound amazing on these things. I think a comparison of G2000's vs pebble pros would be quite interesting.

[@GadgetryTech]

I do occasionally review speakers yeah. The G2000s look interesting for sure! Not sure I'll be able to cover those soon but if Edifier reaches out, I'll say yes :). Same w Pebble Pro

Thanks for your thoughts on this one. I have been using it for a couple of days and I do agree that they sound very good, way better than the wired ones in my opinion. How do you think these stack up with the G Pro X2? Trying to decide which one to go with based on comfort, sound since I know the G pro has more features albeit a higher cost. Also, that loose adjustment must be your copy. I do not have that issue with mine.

[@xblur17]

The G Pro X2 are bad in my opinion, I preferred my original X headset. You don't even get a proper EQ with the X2's. I bought the Cloud 3 Wireless and they've been amazing, I have my Roccat Syn Max Air and my Audeze Maxwell collecting dust (they're both too heavy and kinda hurt my ears, and yes, I throw away money to test all PC gear)

[@optimusjgar]

@@xblur17 thanks. Yeah I ended up staying with the Cloud 3 Wireless. Walmart made a mistake and was able to grab them half off lol.

[@MustyRahmanov]

@@xblur17 Lets suppose i don't care about the weight of the maxwell, which one do you think would be a better buy?

Hey GT, your EQ profile on the HS80 was great. Liking the headset a lot better now. Any chance you have similar reocmmendations for the HD599 SE or the Fiio FH3 IEMs? I have both Dolby Atmos and Equalizer APO installed to make eq edits.

You can run the mix at 32khz if u change it in Windows.. it comes standard atv16khz out of the box

I've read PS5 has a low volume problem with wireless headsets. Do you know how loud these get? Keep up the great content.

[@DidoFidoUno]

great review as usual❤ how this headset compares to epos h6 pro closed regarding game sound and overall comfort ?

[@shadeliquid]

Cloud lll's wired are 90€ and wireless is 132€ in netherlands

[@robertopahlevi182]

what a content ! anw , would you mind to build scuiglink the stinger 2 wireless also ?

[@AdoAlbona]

Is it worth choosing this over the Cloud Alpha Wireless? Even if it is the top model, it is still showing its age.

[@javiersanchez6280]

Nice review bud! I do have a question, I have a steelseries arctics 7p for PS5. Do you recommend the cloud 3 over the arctics. My mic comes in and out.

[@jacobbarfield7828]

Hey, Joe. Even now a year after this video dropped, would you say that the Cloud 3 wireless is the most well-rounded wireless headset under $200USD? For things like comfort, build-quality, out-of-the-box sound quality and mic quality, battery life, etc. Just basically good at everything and bad at nothing. Or would a different headset beat it in this department now?

[@tyweick]

It would be cool if I could use mine, but HyperX decided to release a firmware update on 03/28/21 that completely bricked them. I got my pair the day after they released this update, and haven't even been able to use them. As of today, the issue still isn't fixed.
