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

The HyperX Cloud III wireless adds a $60 premium to the wired version. Is it worth the extra $60, and how does it compare to everything else? In this video I cover the basics, what it can and can't do, comfort, mic test, and sound quality.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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 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.

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.

    The mic is almost as good as blackshark. Not quite as full and natural, but not too far behind. It's definitely a top 5 mic on a gaming headset, right behind blackshark and the HS80's

    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.

    I've been meaning to pick up a pair of these and your review had cemented my purchase decision. However, in the meantime, I read Rtings' review of this headset and they claim it has a very noticeable noise floor. I experienced this with a pair of Cloud II Wireless I returned in the past and it's a deal breaker for me. I don't think you commented on noise floor in your review - did you come across this or could it be down to unit variance? Keep up the great work and thanks for reading. 👍
