HyperX - Cloud III (Wireless)

I love mine as well. I still have my Maxwell and fractal scape. The scape clamping force is too much and the Maxwell is too heavy. This one is perfect in terms of comfort and sound.

I would say a 9. The Maxwell sound better but I was impressed at how good the Hyperx sound. It’s close enough that I’d rather use the HyperX, especially for longer gaming sessions.

Yo anyone else used it on ipad/ mobile devices Why the audio keeps muting? Heeeeelllp me i love the sound but It works fine on Bluetooth but with the dongle it keeps audio pausing and having cracking sound

Cloud lll after my cloud ll wired started squeaking on the hinges and flaking I had to get a new set and I got the cloud lll wireless. They have been damn good to me. I play mostly story games a few fps. I do use Dolby atmos on them so that could play a factor as I have a custom curve I use on all headsets I had. I’m not sure on mic as I never use headset mics but read it’s good for a headset mic. Not sennheiser good but good enough for a stream.

Best to go with technie on youtube for review there is a video like cloud ll vs cloud lll which could answer better then I can. I hate spending over $150 for a decent headset and the cloud lll wireless were a good buy for $80 at micro center. Can't say about cloud lll wired.

Yeah, just been using them so just want to try and share my experience with them and can’t really say anything negative cause to me they are good enough and raw out of box audio I get the detail, still get my bass and fullness without rumbling or something over taking the other. I play mostly single player games anymore but with atmos it’s even better with my curve. I been through different brand headsets before coming back to HyperX cause HP bought them. I remember my cloud ll wired with the premium packaging and how good they were when it was Kingston. It was cloud ll wireless vs cloud lll wireless once the others I tried just weren’t it. Pressure on top ears with razer blacksharks and I’m not about to spend over $150 on a headset for something like Astro A50s. Now the new with graphene drivers sound like something else from a review I watched. Not for $300 though. Haha. I just couldn’t pass on the deal for cloud lll since I was still looking for a headset. Curious if alpha is better only tried alpha S but wanted wireless this time. I think you’ll be fine with either and if you have atmos then even more so sound wise. I heard the cloud lll wired out of box audio is terrible so don’t wanna risk it if atmos don’t fix it but I like freedom with wireless. I hear some people experience a “white noise” or “buzzing” with some of wireless headsets but never had experienced that. I think the cloud lll will last me till they start flaking once again which took a good amount of years for the cloud ll to do. Sorry if that’s a wall of text.

I disagree. I think the Cloud III was fine as is, bluetooth audio means nothing to me (wouldn't use it for fps and I only use the cloud III's for gaming.. so..).. and the sound profile is absolutely perfect for their purpose (gaming, fps specifically, imo). I also think all gaming headphones that aren't pure black look goofy. lol. Including the black and red standard HyperX. I went for the pure black Cloud III wireless and couldn't be happier. Wouldn't change a thing about them. There's literally zero pros/upsides to the 3s for me. In fact, it's genuinely all things I \*wouldn't\* want in a gaming headset so it's straight up all cons and a downgrade lol. The Cloud 3 (no S) is absolutely fantastic, and a headset I would buy again if something happened to mine.. I know some people whine about them but for me.. easily my fav, and I've tried/owned way too many in the past LOL

HyperX cloud III for 50 euro or HyperX cloud III S wireless for 100 euro if you want wireless and better sound(you probably don't care if you were satisfied with a razer blackshark). Don't listen to audiophiles who say you need a 300 euro headphone and 100 euro modmic, which is at best like 20% better than what you get with the Cloud III S wireless. You buy that when you are mega addicted to audiophilia, otherwise don't bother.

I bought these the last time they came on sale, one big thing to note is that there's like a pretty aggressive power saving function to them which results in notification sounds like discord pings or windows notifications having the start of their sounds cut off. I hear only half pings right now and it's pretty irritating

Can confirm this works! Interested to see how much it affects battery life but this is a game changer

https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperX/comments/1nike47/hyperx_cloud_3s_wireless_how_to_disable_this/ Make sure you all read up on this thread as it's a pretty annoying issue

pretty sure it's a default functionality of the headphones

Don’t listen to any Warzone content creator who talks about audio. They don’t know much about audio, they just go on about a particular headset or audio device, because they’re sponsored by the brand and they’ll never say anything negative about that product. You need to watch reviews by audio guys. Best person to watch is Gadgetry Tech on YouTube. He does proper audio measurements and his channel is purely dedicated for audio and gaming audio. I’m someone who really understands audio and I e been into it for over 30 years and here are some things you really need to know. When choosing an audio product for gaming, firstly you need to know what you want first and how well do you understand audio. Do you want to have amazing audio quality or because it’s gaming as long as it has good enough audio you’re happy? Do you want something that has top tier imaging for directional audio queues i.e. footsteps? I’m guessing you do, because you’ve posted on the Warzone page. Do you want something that you can simply plug and play without worrying about EQ or something you want to be able to make customisations? This also brings the question of what do you game on, console or PC? Don’t want wireless or wired? Thai is important, because years ago I would’ve said wired, as it’s zero latency and better audio quality however, the wireless headset technology has come a long way and nowadays the top wireless gaming headsets have minimal latency and audio quality has improved a lot. If you’re on PC, and you don’t mind using IEM, do some research on top IEM’s for gaming and go for it, and because you’re on PC you can use plenty of EQ programmes. IEM’s will always have the best imaging. If you’re on console, and want a headset you can customise the EQ without the need of a PC and something that’s top tier for FPS games, get eh SteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless. It has really good audio, top tier imaging, and it has a dedicated DAC on which you can make all the customisations you need without the need of a PC, including 10 band EQ and the only time you’ll need a PC for it is when there’s a new software update. There’s also the Nova Pro Wired. If you want the best of the best audio quality in a gaming headset then Audeze Maxwell, but it has mediocre imaging. If you want a gaming headset thats has everything overall and be done with it, i.e. wireless, good audio, really good imaging, good mic, comfortable etc then HyperX Cloud III Wireless, but for me it doesn’t get loud enough. Another good overall headset to consider is Astro A50 Gen 5. Really good audio, very comfortable, great mic, base station on which you can charge the headset as it’s a dock style base station, good enough imaging for most people. There’s also studio headphones to consider if you’re on PC, because they’ll always have better audio quality than gaming headsets.

The Philips SHP9500 was very good a decade ago, but it’s kind of irrelevant with how the technology has advanced. If you want a studio headphone, get closed back. Have a search on YouTube for best wired headphones for gaming or watch Gadgetry Tech. If you want wired, save the money and get the Nova Pro Wired. It has every thing you could possibly want. Audio quality, imaging, DAC, comfort.

I grabbed the HyperX Cloud III Wireless a few months ago and it’s been great !

HyperX Cloud III's are really the only option for somewhat decent wireless headset around that price.  Turtle beach Atlas Airs are also good, but for diverse settings and travel, open back doesn't do so well. The other commenter wasn't really joking about the Audeze Maxwell's being the only actual good option. (You can look at B stock to get price down, but it's probably still out of budget) Truly good quality wireless headset is extremely rare.

Cloud III's have significantly better audio quality.

For budget they recommend in ears and a separate mic to get better quality for far less. And to be fair, you almost always do.  But from a gamer perspective, not an audiophile perspective, headsets are way more convenient. Plus, I think you can get good gaming headsets these days, you just have to be selective. HyperX Cloud IIs and now IIIs were some of the first to be decent. But Epos (which used to be Seinheisser) has some great options (like the H3x for $20 or the Open back H6pro for $80)

It's hard to determine headsets based on specs given on paper. And especially with gamer headsets it's hard to put money and quality together because of that. My recommendation is the HyperX cloud III's. The best option for audio quality of a closed back wireless headset under $200 Or Turtle beach Atlas Airs for an open back wireless option.

Cloud III's are the only ones there I would consider. But best option is probably the Fractal design Scapes if you want wireless and closed back.

hyperx uses locked up bluetooth on cloud III wireless, they don't let you connect their dongle to other devices and don't let you connect headphone to other BT devices either, it's locked to eachother but still BT over LC3+ codec BT in itself is not bad for latency, it's codecs used, if you use aptx ll, lc3, lc3+ or lhdc ll aka llac it's not a problem
