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.

Cheers for the review, i do like the look of the Cloud 3s and the mic was really good.

Could it be that your Cloud 2 pair is so used that the drivers are more burned in, making them sound ever so slightly more exciting? I mean, those Cloud 3s are straight from the factory, so the drivers haven't really been used much. Usually, it doesn't matter, but on some pairs, it can matter.

On this, due to closed back nature and bigger drivers, I can definitely hear a bit more of game sounds without needing to crank the volume up like I used to on my vr3000. The clamping force does start to create fatigue if worn more than 3-4 hours at a stretch. Maybe it'll get better with time. Maybe you will not get fatigue if you have flatter ears that are more flush with your head. Overall, will still recommend as good purchase.

well to mention also the Cloud 2 that are displayed seem to be the "OLD" versions of the headset which are an easy S+ tier compared to the new ones, you can notice it by looking at the outside of the earcup where the "OLD" ones have that ruberry matt coating and that aluminium plate in the middle where the "NEW" Cloud 2's have a basic plastic earcups with the plastic plate in the middle. P.s the Cloud 2's have been severily downgraded after HyperX sold out to HP , their new headset has very bad and overly bassy sound , their earcups and the headband cussions are also downgraded so if you are interested in getting the Cloud 2' i would suggest you to consider the Alpha's or the Cloud 3's.

I got them both. And i would co say cloud 2 sounds better cus of the bass. But.. Cloud 3 better treble and you hear footsteps better and easier to hear where sounds come from. So for me immersive experiense like single player games Cloud 2. multiplayer Competitive games like fps Cloud 3.

Kingston sold HyperX to HP as of June 2021, Which is why all of the newer headsets don't sound anywhere near as good as the original headsets.

Thanks for your review. My wife and I both have the Cloud II, but the cushion on the top is crumbling and therefore we will sooner or later need a replacement. At least in the past for some parts of the head set there was a replacement part, but I think not for this cushion at the frame (bracket). 😒 Now I saw that there's a new HyperX Cloud III. First things I've recognized is: Cool looking HyperX at the frame is gone, cool looking red string is gone. How about 7.1 sound simulation? Haven't seen anything regarding this! And the brushed aluminium, where is it gone? So it looks like the Cloud III has a microphone which is a lot better, it finally has a light showing if the Micro is active or muted. Both are must haves! But at the end, if it hasn't the cool look anymore and the sound quality decreased - and I think I understood your point here exactly - then what does it help? We like the sound of the HyperX headsets because they sound like they should be, not having extreme bass, which I dislike, and the hights are fine. 😁 The Cloud III costs at least 116 Euro in germany, Cloud II half the price, 64 Euro, sometimes less. Shame on HP! In my company they exchanged the Lenovo notebooks with HP. The HPs look good, made of aluminum. The display is a lot better. The battery last a much longer time. The AMD CPU is great. So the technical aspects are perfect. BUT: The touchpad is not reacting in the upper left and right corner (I've tested that with at least 3 devices!). Where you hold your hand when you use the touchpad, there's a sharp edge. The keyboard is OK, but the one from Lenovo was much better. I do have trouble with my Password Manager. Typically CTRL+F12 should insert the password, but HP made some tweaks with the F-keys and this seems to conflict. The INSert key I had been searching forever in the beginning. They are there at 3 places, but not where you expect them and they behave a bit strange. These are things that could easily be improved. But looks like HP doesn't care. ☹ And I think with the HyperX it's the same. It moved from Kingston to Lenovo and with this it looks like the HyperX headsets are not as good anymore as they had been.

Of all the hyper X headsets, which one do you like best for the price range $119 and up for gaming sound

Are the boom mics interchangeable? By that i mean using the mic from the cloud 3 in the cloud 2 headset and would that make the best of both worlds, sound and microphone.

You gonna reveiw the pulse fire haste 2

Small heads up to people who produce music/do anything where you need precise and accurate audio in the headset: I own cloud 2 and just purchased cloud 3, if you want clear and precise audio, cloud 3s are what you need. cloud 2 sound better, but the audio is 'altered', meaning you won't get a true read on your audio if you produce music. i just swapped between the 2 several times, granted i just got them today (had wireless for a day, returned them and got wired cloud 3s), but the sound is definitely more accurate. TL;DR : Cloud 2 sounds more satisfying, but Cloud 3 is more accurate (could be relevant for things like fps games where you wanna hear where the enemies are).

I been waiting for your review…. Is the cloud III mic compatible with the cloud II headset👀

I was wondering the same thing. Probably not worth it to buy the Cloud 3s just for the mic, but it could be an interesting combo if they worked interchangeable

Are the sides of the cloud III cans soft touch? I hated when my cloud II got all sticky and melted. I don't like that pop sound when the mic is muted/unmuted. I love how you placed timestamps to rewatch that special portion of the video. Great review. I'm still on the fence on positional audio as some reviewers say this is one of the best and then some others say its not good and the cloud II was better.

@@TheTechne how about the positional audio? is the cloud 3 better? or the alpha s is better ?

is this better than the logitech g pro x2 in term of imaging separation footstep. etc. specially in warzone 2

Why when playing on console with these I have static when other people talk or going through the Xbox menu. Would anyone have a suggestion what to do?

I have the Maxwell but I love my HyperX stuff. I’d def cop a set of wireless ones.

I've been using Cloud 2 for 7 years now. I received the Cloud 3 and sent it back immediately the next day. The sound is a joke compared to the Cloud 2, especially in FPS games Pubg and Hunt Showdown. The Cloud 2 offers excellent perception and location of footsteps and makes the sound so clear! The cloud 3 literally sounds like it's coming out of a tin can when you shoot and it's way too loud, at the same time the ambient noise is way too quiet and the location and spatial perception of footsteps etc. is terribly bad!!! I'm going to buy a new Cloud 2 Headset

theres a app for them you can turn on spatial sound and equalizers and they sound amazing... people just dont look enough (ik i responded very late but i own these headphones wireless and they are great for me)

@@syate_w_key9518 I've already tried everything possible to improve the sound. Hyper X NGENUITY, USB Soundcard, Sound Settings, Drivers etc. Without success. I even had both the wired and wireless versions. I couldn't tell any difference. Both sound equally absurdly bad. You probably don't have a direct comparison to see how bad the Hyper x Cloud 3 is compared to the Hyper x Cloud 2

Love your in-depth and honest headset videos. With everyone else you never can tell if they've been paid off. My most trusted youtuber for headsets. Bought some wkd cushions with your Amazon discount code too. "Grey 90's aesthetic". Thanks! 👍 Had my Cloud II's for six years. Recently took them apart and replaced the headband. But still thinking of trying the Cloud III. We'll see.

@@pljafki Will do. I did buy my friend a pair of Cloud II's recently and they have been changed since HP took over. The construction is all plastic and the sound card is different. Compared to the original Kingston ones they sounded a little flat. The bass was reduced, dialogue sounded slightly echo-y and the soundstage sounded like it was wider but I could hear like a wind effect as best as I could describe it. I'd be able to put up with them if I'd never heard the sound of the Kingston ones but they are definitely superior. I honestly do expect something similar with the Cloud III.

@@BiOHZRD97 Yeah. I compared the Cloud II to the original Kingston model and the HP model. The build quality is worse. It doesn't feel fragile it just feels cheap. And the sound is different. There's no real 'oomph' to them. Just a flat all round sound. It wasn't as lively or punch as the original. Dialogue sounded slightly echo-y. Thing is I'm fussy with sound but with the two I noticed a difference. They're not unbearable but if you've got or had the Kingston they feel like a downgrade.

@@GADG3Tx87 ah i see, ive had the cloud 2 and the alpha , im thinking of upgrading to either cloud alpha s or cloud 3 , since people keep saying hyperx is bad now after hp bought them , im kinda worried to buy either of those, what do you think ? coz i mainly play valorant and fps games, so i need that directional audio to pinpoint enemy footstep and gunshot , thats it

You would still recommend the 2’s even with the hum sound??

Kinda dissapointed that the sound on it is pretty quiet compared to the cloud 2. also the headset presses down on the top of your head too hard, pretty uncomfortable

Man I’m kind of disappointed bc I was looking for a good headset with a usb port bc I don’t trust my 3.5. Mine needs an adapter and it is already dying, some times it doesn’t work until I plug it again

Can you test the Cloud 3 on the cloud 2 usb, I've noticed they seem to be louder than the cloud alpha usb
