Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best headphones I have used for PC love the DTSX technology. Really easy to hear footsteps and directional sounds!

Great product and one of my favorite headsets for gaming.

nice headphones they work as intended although the package was damaged

This Gaming headset is easy to use. I'm using it for a work from home job. Clear sound

Headphones are wonderful. They are extremely good at giving me directional cues on where to look when gaming cause sound is key in most games. Mic is very good quality havent had many issues.

Great headphones, the sound quality for both in and out. I’ve had hyperx headphones since 2020 and have yet to be disappointed.

Works good! Connection is good, mic is great and would recommend! Grab while on sale.

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

My husband loves this headset , he plays Fortnite every night and can’t ever hear me yelling at him and now I am wanting to get one for me and the noise canceling is perfect

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.

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.

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.

As a reviewer, I can confidently say the HyperX Cloud headphones stand out as one of the best all-around gaming headsets in their price range. From the moment you put them on, the plush memory foam and lightweight aluminum frame provide a level of comfort that’s hard to beat perfect for extended gaming sessions. The audio quality is equally impressive, with rich bass, detailed mids, and crisp highs that bring both games and music to life. The microphone, while detachable, holds its own with clear, reliable voice pickup and decent noise cancellation. Whether you’re using the classic Cloud II or the newer Cloud III Wireless, HyperX continues to deliver a premium experience with thoughtful features, excellent durability, and great sound making these headphones a solid recommendation for both casual and serious gamers.

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.

I’ve been using this headset for a few weeks now and I’m seriously impressed. The sound quality is crystal clear, with deep bass and crisp highs that make gaming and music super immersive. The microphone picks up my voice clearly with no background noise, which my friends on Discord really appreciate. It’s also super comfortable — I’ve worn it for hours at a time with no discomfort. Build quality feels solid and durable. Definitely worth every penny. Highly recommend for gamers, streamers, or anyone working from home!

I’ve been using the HyperX Cloud III for about a month now, and I’m honestly impressed. Right out of the box, the build quality feels premium — solid frame, soft ear cushions, and a nice, clean design. It sits comfortably even during long gaming sessions, which is a big plus for me. The sound quality is great — crisp highs, decent mids, and just enough bass to feel the action without being overwhelming. Whether I’m playing shooters or listening to music, the audio stays clear and immersive. The 53mm drivers really make a difference. The microphone is also a highlight. It’s detachable and picks up my voice clearly without background noise, which my friends definitely appreciate during Discord chats. Another thing I like is how versatile it is — it works perfectly on my PC and PlayStation with the included USB-C and USB-A connections. The RGB is subtle but adds a nice touch, and the iCUE software is easy to use for tweaking settings.

They have worked great. Previous headphones had a really bad case of echoing but with these all my friends can hear me better and don't hear themselves at all. Was worried because I know Discord on PS5 has problems with headphones sometimes, but no issues here. Nice to be able to unplug the microphone and just use the headphones when playing solo. Great sound from them, and my ears never hurt even after hours of gaming.

I like the mute and volume control placement, very comfortable to wear, great mic, can hear footsteps from literally anywhere around you, just wish they got a little louder though other than that good headset.
