Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best sound quality! Would recommend this product for simple gaming!

Great headset my 14-year-old loves them he broke the first pair and only wanted to by the same item again.

Audio is muffled and low eq. Dts improves it a bit but not better than the cloud 2 which are far superior in audio technology not sure why it has a 4 + rating. A10s and Turtle Stealth 600 are probably a better buy.

HyperX has always been a great choice for gaming on a budget, while not cutting corners on comfort or quality. HyperX Cloud III wired gaming headset is a great choice for a multi-platform headset solution, working with most consoles or mobile devices and PC via the included USB adapter. I picked this up to use with the xbox console but will also be able to plug it into my mobile game systems for comfort and quality sound on the go! Pros: - Comfortable fit, with adjustable ear cup placement. - Multi-platform Compatibility. - Volume dial and mute button on back of earphone! Cons: - Pleather material on ear cups. - Sound is great for gaming, but not amazing for movies or music. The HyperX Cloud III is a simple plug-and-play headset, with no software needed or fussing around with settings to get going. Included in the box is the headset, detachable microphone, 3.5mm Audio Jack to USB-C cable, and USB-C to USB-A dongle. The only major downside right out of the box is the choice of material for the ear cups, a “premium leatherette” as listed in the materials, otherwise known as pleather. I would have preferred a mesh or fabric material, that would be easier to wash and wear better, as usually the pleather starts to peal off after enough years of use. The ear cups are super comfortable, soft, and not too warm while wearing over longer gaming sessions. Just a personnel preference, but that can always be replaced with a third-party ear cup so no loss to overall points in my book. The HyperX Cloud III has moved the mute and volume controls to the back of the earphones, where prior versions had these controls limited to inline for USB connections only, leaving the Mobile, Switch, and Xbox users having to manage sound via third-party or software options only. This makes adjusting the volume or muting much easier for all users! An easy press of the button will mute the microphone and turn on a red mute indicator light on the mic boom to indicate the mute is on. Great quality of life improvements over the prior version. The game and chat audio are clear and crisp, helping to easily hear those footsteps creeping up behind you. But there is a clear lacking of Bass when listing to movies or music. It’s completely possible that using the DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio would help, but I wanted to avoid having to use another app or tool. Honestly, it is a very minor concern to me, but worth mentioning if you were considering the Cloud III as a primary headset for listening to more than games, you might need to adjust the settings to your desired sound preferences through the DTS Sound Unbound app. Overall, the HyperX Cloud series has always been a great go to for console gamers, and the series III is no exception. I will be recommending the HyperX Cloud III for those looking for a quality gaming headset that will work for multiple gaming platforms. If you’re looking for something for more all-around audio use, I would take into consideration how important audio quality is for your use. I'm very happy with the quality and compatibility of the HyperX Cloud III gaming headset.

I have been daily driving these headphones for the past year. They're extremely comfortable, sound great (especially with something like DTS X and Dolby Atmos), and has great build quality. Mic is very decent, but I only use it when playing on my Xbox (as I have a dedicated mic for PC). The cable they use feels great; braided with a removable 3.5mm to USB-A adapter. Cable length is great, both with and without the adapter. However, I did swap out the ear cups a few months ago for third-party cooling ones as the OEM ear cups can keep in just enough heat to be uncomfortable. I do wish the cable can be taken out of the headset, both for repair-ability and for transportation/storage.

COMFORT: These are extremely comfortable. I'm able to wear them for a long time without any issues, with or without glasses. Most of the time I forget they were on my head. Earcup size should be big enough for anyone. Earcup depth is moderate, it is angled, making it so the larger part of your ear has more room than the thinner part of your ear. With a good amount of padding before you hit the plastic exterior. The plush cushions are great. Also, replaceable if needed. Overall, no complaints here. SOUND: I break my headsets into four main categories. 1. Gaming Immersion (such as single player games), 2. Competitive gaming (directional audio, footsteps, other competitive focused sounds), 3. Media (how good is normal media - YouTube and movies on it. 4. Music. I find it does a good job at 1 - 3. Acceptable for 4. Overall, the sound is good/great where I think the mass majority of people (especially at this price point) will like them a lot. Bass is good, sub bass is lacking, mids are neutral, highs are crisp but can be fatiguing and where most of the "flavor" is. Soundstage is very small (my biggest negative of the sound). Directional quality is excellent. Great imaging where I can pull apart multiple sounds with focus. 1. I'm able to get immersed in games. As bass, treble, and locational data is good. 2. Fantastic directional quality. Countless times I heard someone, turned, and there they were exactly. However, with soundstage being small they often snuck up on me as I didn't hear them until they were practically on top of me. Gun sounds are crisp and realistic sounding. While still giving me a competitive edge. What I would classify this headset to be mainly. But strikes a good balance between not being too competitive that all the other sounds suffer. 3. I was able to easily hear dialogue, even at 2x speed (which is what I watch most of my stuff at). Movies are good too. But with the way these are tuned aren't getting the best sound as sometimes bass or treble were too loud and overbearing. But in general, no complaints. 4. Preformed the worst with this. It'll work. And for the most part be fine. I classify it as good enough that it turns music into background noise. However, if you're trying to get an emotional experience these don't provide the right tuning for that. Most of my testing was straight 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm. without the 3.5 mm to USB-C adapter. Which also has a USB-C to USB-A adapter (which also works great for other stuff). Appreciate the versatility here. SOFTWARE: Simple, to the point, barebones, works great. Gives you Headset volume, microphone volume, mic monitoring, DTS spatial sound toggle, Presets, and 10 band EQ. No sign in needed. MICROPHONE: Is removable, plugs in nicely. Has a big tip, incredibly flexible (and stays in place), When muted there is a red LED that is near the tip that isn't really in the field of vision, but is just enough that it can remind you that you are muted. That button is very crisp and satisfying and easy to find. I didn't find a significant "pop" when muting or unmuting. But did see it on the audio graph. Again, this was tested straight 3.5mm to 3.5mm. I found my voice to sound great. It picked up the nuances of my different voices just fine and sounded essentially like I do in person. Maybe a bit flatter, with an ever so slight (and I mean slight) headset/treble tuning to it with a lack of bass. The rejection of other sounds (such as my Razer Green Switches which are LOUD) were unable to be heard. I'd easily use this without any hesitation for gaming and talking to friends (which I almost never say). It MAY even be good enough to be seen as acceptable for voice over work (non-professional but just like on YouTube or something). RANDOM PROS/CONS: I wish the cable itself was removeable. But like that it is braided and malleable. However, there is a mild/moderate amount of cable noise in the left earcup when moving/messing with it. Volume wheel on right earcup is 10/10. Has min/max. Easy to adjust in very small increments. Is separate from computer/console sound. Which I like as I can crank the console/PC sound and then fine tune depending on what I'm listening to on my headset. Absolutely brilliant. Closed back. Which means it will muffle/reduce the sound around you. Personally, I like that a lot. But if you want to know what is happening in your room then these would not be a good choice. Don't block all sounds but does reduce them. I like that you can use them with just 3.5 mm, 3.5 mm to USB-C, or 3.5 mm to USB-C to USB-C to USB-A adapter (which works great for other things as well for a double win). Which makes them useable on every device you can think of, outside of those that require Bluetooth only as this is a wired only headset.

We recommend you purchasing the HyperX-Cloud ll Wired Headset. If you & your family have different devices to play or stream your games, this is the perfect headset for all of you.

We highly recommend the purchase of this Great headset. HyperX-Cloud ll.

One of the key factors in gaming is the audio section and I think HyperX has several good options, including this wired headset Cloud III. In the box come the headset, the detachable microphone, a USB dongle cable to connect to the PC, a USB-C to USB-A adapter and documentation. The headphones can be used immediately out of the box, no app download is required. They can be connected to devices such as Xbox, PS, Nintendo switch, smartphone through the 3.5mm jack connector, only in the case of connecting to a PC or Laptop is required to use the USB Dongle Cable. The microphone is detachable and has a red LED light that turns on to indicate that it is in mute mode. The microphone quality is excellent, clear and loud in games and calls. The mute button is on the back of the left earcup. On the back of the right side is the volume wheel, there are no other buttons on the headphones. The ear pads are of good size and offer a great comfort even in long periods of use, likewise the headband has memory foam that adapts easily, the truth is that they are quite comfortable headset without a doubt. It has a great design and are made of materials such as plastic and metal of very good quality, has a great finish and are resistant, in my case I have the headphones in color red with black and I love the combination, they look great. Regarding the audio I can say that it fulfills its purpose and meets my expectations, although it lacks a little bass, all other sounds are reproduced clearly and the volume is more than enough, I usually do not exceed 85% of the maximum for safety. In music, videos, movies, calls and gaming, I have been very satisfied, they have a very clear and strong sound. I think these HyperX Cloud III wired headphones are worth the price: they can be used with different devices without the need for third-party app, they are very comfortable, have great sound and an excellent detachable microphone, mute button and volume on the same headphones, is made of very good quality materials and look excellent, I can definitely recommend them.

The headset sounds amazing, you can hear every little crunch and snap. I played helldivers and i could hear every footfall and clacking of the armor. But what thos headset does for good sound clarity it sacrfices in bass. The bass isnt horrible it just doesnt hit as hard as most other headphones do, making explosions and bass heavy instruments hit a little softer than they usually would. Apparently this isnt a misstep but a feature and honestly it reallt comes down to preference whether or not youre okay with it. The mic is good quality and sounds pretty good. The headset is weighty and looks and feels nice. My only issue is the bass, bjt besides that everhthing is perfect

The sound on these headphones is equalized nicely. The bases sound clearly mixed with mid and high tones. I am able to hear other player's footsteps while I game, online. The clamp force is also comfortable around my ears. I also like the length of the mic and how bendable it is- I only wish it were longer. The only things I really don't like are that the mute function is a button that I have to feel around for on the actual ear muff AND that the microphone is detachable. I prefer mute switches but other than that I'm really happy with my purchase.

Great gaming headset. I like that they include many options/ways to connect them. I.E. You can use the included minijack cable (its the 3in1 for both channels and mic) or you can use the included USB audio card (this for PC only). If you use the first option, you can connect it to your gaming consoles like switch, PS5 controller or Xbox one. You can also use this option on your PC if you already have sound card or DAC. However if not, they include a USB sound card and that will give you the option to use their "Ngenuity" software and give you access to more tuning and use DTS:X headphone surround audio for a more evolving surround sound. The included mic is detachable and feels of great quality, there is a button on the back of the left earphone that works a as a mute switch and there is al led on the mic itself that indicates if its muted or not (I would have preferred the ability to flip the mic to mute, as the button is on the back of the left ear and you have to "feel" search for it to press it). The ear pads/cushions are amazing, they truly fell like a cloud on your ears, and I have even wore them with glasses and I could not feel anything, if you are looking for comfort these are for you! They are closed back headphones, so they don't have the greatest open sound stage but they are good for gaming and considering how comfy they are, long gaming sessions are not going to stop me! The only con that I could find is that the included cable that attaches to the headphones itself is not that long and also is not detachable, I would have preferred a longer and detachable one, just that. But other than that, its a great and super comfy gaming headphone!!

I have the previous generation of the HyperX Cloud headset. This current version has a handful of nice improvements. They moved the controls from a control box that’s part of the cable. It is now on the headset itself. I prefer this because, before, I had to follow the cable to find the control box. Now I can just reach either the left or right side of the headset. On the left you hve the mute button. On the right is the volume. Another new feature is the support for USB-C. It comes with an adapter. The cable itself is 3.5mm to USB-C. Then you have a USB-C to USB-A adapter. The packaging is nice as well. Everything is simple. Now if this will be your first time getting it, here are some things I really love about how they designed it. First, the braided cables are great. It strengthens and makes the cables more durable. The microphone is detachable and bendable. If you will just use it as a headset, you can either move the microphone out of the way or remove it completely. You can use it with 3.5mm port or USB. I plugged it in my MacMini M2 via USB-C port, and it immediately recognized it. It is quite simple to use. I am up and running in no time. I recorded some voice overs with Quicktime and the results are good. I just had to turn up the gain a little bit but overall, it is clear. I like this headset very much for gaming and productivity tasks.

Keeping the review quick. Great sound (minus a bit of bass), great design, amazing mic, very comfortable, and price is especially good for the quality of product you get. Honestly by far the best headset I've ever owned, would absolutely recommend.

I bought three headsets this month. This is the one I kept. I don’t use it for gaming, but to record instructional videos, and to listen to things. The mic is very realistic and the headphone parts are light and comfortable with good sound. I’m sure a $400 headset might be better, but this one is an excellent value.

This headset is so much bang for your buck!!! Super clear audio and the mic uses noise-cancelling. They are comfortable for long gaming sessions and you can remove the mic if you just want to use them as regular headphones.

The HyperX Cloud III is an excellent headset that delivers premium comfort, great sound, and reliable performance across PC and consoles. Its lightweight build, plush memory foam cushions, and padded headband make it perfect for long gaming sessions, while the 53mm drivers provide immersive audio with clear highs and deep bass — ideal for both competitive and casual gaming. The noise-canceling mic is crisp and clear for voice chat, and setup is simple with plug-and-play compatibility. For the price, it’s one of the best gaming headsets you can get.

This headset by Hyper X is amazing! I bought it for my daughter who needed it for her computer class so she just needed for audio and not gaming but regardless, she loves it! The sound quality is outstanding. The price is perfect. They are super comfortable! Not too heavy. Just all around a perfect grab!

Amazing sound quality, light weight on the head, comfortable around the ears. Definitely the best gaming headset I’ve ever owned.

Metal build, comfortable, and sound great. Oh and the mic is second to none

Comfy to wear and the sound quality is great. I like the dial on the side of the ear to control the sound and also the removable microphone.
