Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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.

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.

Pros: - Still a comfortable fit compared to the previous Cloud II, wraps around my big head quite well without showing strain on the band - Can block out majority of noise due to the thick earpads - Sound quality is still pretty good with the sound signature still focusing on the "gaming" frequencies (e.g. more wide treble), allowing you to hear footsteps more clearly in games where its critical to find and identify your target (tested in PUBG and Apex Legends on PC) - Built-in cable is longer than it was on the Cloud II, which makes it useable for mobile us (tested using a Lightning-to-3.5mm dongle on an iPhone) - Cables are braided really nicely. The version I tested was the red-black color mix - DAC cable works well on the Nintendo Switch and PS5 - Initial price is at $100, which isn't too bad compared to other wired headsets in the same price range Cons: - Microphone, while better than what was on the Cloud II, still does not match the Blue-tuned mics on the Logitech PRO X Gaming Headset (wired version), quite noticeable even with the DAC that comes with the Cloud III - NGENITY app on Windows is still clunky. Interface looks great, but most of the UI elements are non-responsive momentarily while you change settings. You NEED to install this if you wish to use the DTS Headphone:X feature. Version tested was 2.20.1.0 Overall: - Still a great alternative to all the other wired headsets out there - 3.5mm wired headsets are still needed with the various PC setups utilizing their own dedicated DAC/AMPs, so this Cloud III will ensure any content creators/streamers will look good on webcam while they're live

Most headset hurt the top of my head. This one just fits comfortably and doesn’t cause issues. I love the fact of noise cancellation and not having to put the mic in my mouth for people to hear me lol.

Replacing my Corsair HS55 which cracked straight through one hinge/swivel area when they were not even in use. :-( So far, I really like the HyperX headphones. They're very comfortable and packaged well. The braided cable is great, and the length of the combined cables (3.5mm audio + USB) is fantastic! The volume control works smoothly and has a good range. I haven't used the microphone for anything yet, but the adjustable boom is nice and stays where I put it. For their price point, I like them a lot!

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.

Comfortable, even when wearing glasses -- they don't press on my head too hard and they are light-weight. Audio quality is great, both hearing and mic output. The cable is long enough that it doesn't matter too much which side my PC tower is on. Very nice quality, especially for the selling price.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I bought this for my son, who’s a dedicated PC gamer, and he absolutely loves it. The sound quality is crystal clear, the mic works perfectly for chatting with friends, and the headset is super comfortable even during long gaming sessions. It feels well-built and worth every penny. Definitely a great choice for any gamer!

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 have bought so many wired and wireless headsets and never been as satisfied as this one! After dealing with wireless interference causing constant dropouts (Turtle Beach) or having mic issues with people hearing me (Arctis Nova X Wireless) I finally went back to wired. I mainly wanted to focus on comfort and was recommended the HyperX Cloud series and absolutely love them! I was a bit skeptical since I liked the non-leather/pleather earcups so they breathe more, like when I use my PC with Audio Technica headphones and swapped the earcups. For console gaming I did not want to mess with the headphone + mic + all that stuff setup. This works great, mic comes across super clear for others, audio is honestly very good overall and just simple controls. I do wish the mic was detachable sometimes, but it is a minor gripe for the cost. It is a versatile headset and highly recommend it for console gaming or anyone that does not want to have a separate headphone/mic setup on PC; treat your ears to the comfort of the cloud baby!

In all honestly it's worth it. I have only used flip mic to mute before but I got used to the mute button quickly and the sound is great. They're comfortable and I haven't had issues with it. A lot of other headsets have always given me headaches because they're usually too tight when you get them and gotta break into it but these have been awesome since the day I got them. No more headaches. Just comfort and good sound.

The HyperX Cloud III continues the legacy of its predecessors by offering exceptional comfort and sound quality, making it one of the best choices for gamers and audio enthusiasts alike. The memory foam ear cushions and padded headband ensure that long gaming sessions remain comfortable, with minimal fatigue even after hours of wear. The lightweight design also adds to the comfort, making it easy to forget you’re wearing a headset at all. Whether you're immersed in a gaming marathon or just listening to music, the Cloud III provides a snug fit that feels natural and unobtrusive. In terms of audio performance, the HyperX Cloud III impresses with its clear, immersive sound. The 53mm drivers deliver rich bass, crisp highs, and well-defined mids, creating a balanced audio profile that enhances the gaming experience. The headset is especially effective at creating a sense of spatial awareness in games, making it easier to pinpoint the direction of footsteps or other in-game sounds. The noise-canceling microphone also ensures clear communication with teammates, cutting out background noise for crystal-clear voice chat, which is crucial in competitive gaming scenarios. Durability and build quality are other areas where the HyperX Cloud III shines. The metal frame gives it a sturdy feel, and the overall construction is solid without being overly heavy. The detachable cable and microphone add to its versatility and longevity, allowing for easy replacement if needed. HyperX has also included useful in-line controls, making it easy to adjust volume or mute the microphone on the fly. Overall, the HyperX Cloud III is a top-tier gaming headset that excels in comfort, sound quality, and durability, making it a reliable choice for gamers who demand the best.

Replacement for my Cloud 2. Comfortable, good sound quality. Unfortunately, no matter what I tried, I could not get the mic loud enough for my friends to hear me. I checked all the Windows and Discord audio settings MANY times. After about 2 years with this headset, my friends had all adjusted my audio on their end to the maximum, and we were able to communicate well enough. I recently decided to order another Cloud 2 from elsewhere, as BB doesn't currently sell it anymore. In my very first Discord call with my 2nd pair of Cloud 2, my friends were all like "OH MY *** I CAN FINALLY HEAR YOU AGAIN! HANG ON, LET ME REDUCE YOUR SOUND!"

I recently purchased the HyperX Cloud III Wired Gaming Headset and couldn't be happier with my decision. This headset delivers outstanding performance across multiple platforms, including PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices. First and foremost, the sound quality is exceptional. The audio is crisp and clear, with rich bass and detailed highs, making my gaming experience truly immersive. The 53mm drivers do an excellent job of bringing every sound to life, whether I'm in the middle of an intense firefight or exploring an open-world environment. Comfort is another highlight of this headset. The memory foam ear cushions and padded headband make it incredibly comfortable to wear for extended gaming sessions. I’ve worn it for hours on end without any discomfort or fatigue. The build quality is top-notch, with a durable design that feels sturdy yet lightweight. The detachable noise-canceling microphone is a fantastic addition, providing clear communication with my teammates without picking up background noise. Compatibility is seamless across all my devices. Switching between my PC, console, and mobile is effortless, thanks to the versatile 3.5mm audio jack and included adapters. Overall, the HyperX Cloud III is a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and durability. It has exceeded my expectations and has become an essential part of my gaming setup. I highly recommend this headset to any gamer looking for a high-quality, reliable, and comfortable option.

Great quality sound head phones .my son really enjoyed the color the feeling and the mic on his head phones.this head set is one of a kind.we made a great purchase!

It has pretty good sound isolation. They're comfortable for a couple of hours of use. It doesn't squeeze my head too tightly either. I know there are other products that are more comfortable than this one, but for the price, it's nice.

I looked at a few headsets for my new gaming PC. I have sensory issues along with a bunch of cartilage piercings, and wanted larger ear cups that were not hot, didn't slip down my face, but were also lightweight. The HyperX were perfect. I have been using these almost daily for a month. The sound quality is great, very comfortable.
