Great corded headset, could have had more sound isolation but, other than that it checks all of the boxes for a good set. Great audio Good sounding mic Rugged

Great headset for the price (on sale $75 with tax). Sturdy feel, clear mic, and great sound. I like being able to remove the mic when I don’t need it

Very much enjoying these headphones, they are very comfortable and the sound is excellent!

HyperX - Cloud III Wired Gaming Headset has great sound. I have not used it for gaming but it is great with the music I listen to and videos.

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

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 product and one of my favorite headsets for gaming.

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.

nice headphones they work as intended although the package was damaged

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.

I just bought these a week ago and found out there are multiple rips in the ear pads. That’s my only complaint.

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.

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
