Another great, in-depth evaluation and review. Thank you as always for your time and effort to share this with us all.

Your structure, methodology and presentation are consistent, succinct and absolutely engaging as a viewer, especially with the chapters. Ever since I've subbed to you, you've been informative and responsive, thank you for your hard work and insight into an OG refresh! Also you might want to take a look into the Cooler Master MH751/752, absolutely sleeper headsets that are still worth their money for comfort, mic quality and soundstage. I think one prominent reviewer called it one of the best sub 200USD wired, closed back headphones.

thank so much for taking the time, effort, and money to do these. Helps inform me immensely when I'm making a purchase

Hey brother, just want to say thanks so much for the videos. I've been looking for a headset in this range. Still deciding between the Cloud 3 and the Nova 7x. You have made SUCH in depth videos, and I think I speak for everyone here (and those that haven't found you yet)... when I say we appreciate it a lot! You deserve a much bigger audience... and you'll have them soon enough :) Thank you man, keep up the good work. Much love from South Africa.

Thank you for mentioning the lack of detachable cable. I don't know why most reviewers skip this.

4:31 Forewent? haha threw me for a loop there. Thanks for an awesome review bro!

this is a really nice review. Thanks for your work!

"Less likely to split" that's absolutely fantastic for me, as someone with a large head I've went through 3-4 pairs of cloud 2s and alphas which all broke in the same way, overtime the buckle snapped or caused other breaks

Hands down the best review of this product. You know what you are talking. Subscribed! ❤

Great video as always Boss!!!!!!!! Gonna check these out, always have liked the Hyper X cans.

Thanks. Great review

Sub to this channel was my best "youtube decision" ever. Keep up the good work man!

Hey Joe, greetings from the UK. Just want to say thank you for another top quality review as always. Just want to ask how you rate this against the EPOS H6 pro closed back? Cheers

Excellent video as usual! Very nice review! 33.3K subscribers is not right! :)

The mic is amazing! :O

Very nice review sir, thank you very much. It seems like this might be tuned for comp FPS gaming. Treble is a bit more relaxed as opposed to the cloud 2

You sir are a legend. This is the best review I came across of this HyperX Cloud III. You answered most of the questions I had and then some. However, I do wonder how this headset will wear. Will the headband pleather wrap/cushion be replaceable? I have noticed all of these things will peel and wear over time. I liked and subscribed.

best review out there. great video Joe

Hey @GadgetryTech how do you compare the Cloud 3 to the Cloud Alpha, which one would you say is better?

I love your content. Which headset for competitive fps gaming on the Xbox series x would you recommend?

Great job brother! I have a question ,i have tuned my cloud 3 in nguinity and sonar and i wonder if the tunning is saved in the card or the headset. I use them for console thats why i am asking. I know sonar tuning works only for pc but I don’t know for nguinity

Thank you for a great review. I just order Hyperx Cloud 3 wired from your video. This my first to try hyperX series. I use with creative sound blaster X3 . Can u recommend for a EQ setting to provide a sound for music and movies from your taste?

DOPE T-SHIRT BRO!

Aww man.. I always loved the OG hyperx cloud and was thrilled to see this thumbnail and it looks like a good product overall but that tuning for me personally is just a big no no. I hate 6k, and it looks like it has no air or sparkle so I hope this 6k spike is specific to your measuring rig. Currently on the mh750, the other takstar, perfect weight and mic and easygoing sound signature. Man I’m a bit disappointed on that freq response :/ damn

I was using both cloud ii wired and wireless for years. Still works but cloud iii doesn't seem a big upgrade. So now I have the new audeze maxwell. The difference in overall comfort is massive. It's not that maxwell is uncomfortable, it's just that the cloud ii is too comfortable and there is a lot of difference in terms of weight, earpad size, headband style, and a bit in clamp force. Ive only used maxwell less than a week so im giving it more time but if i never get used to it, i might consider going back to cloud ii, at least for gaming long hours

Just bought mine and based on this and can confirm it's great! Love the mic and sound profile + very comfortable. Only complaint is the lack of bass (and easy EQ adjustments) but that's fine.

I wonder if they’re gonna do a cloud alpha 2 or a successor to it?

Does this headset have sidetone? I know typically analog 3.5mm headphones do not as sidetone is digital, but does the DAC or Ngenuity software implement any sidetone feature into the Cloud 3's? They're too new to read any info about them, when googling only info about older headsets comes up. Cheers!

Hi GT! may I have the Ngenuity EQ settings you have here? Thank you so much for the detailed review! I currently have a Cloud3 wired and I'm trying to tune it. Cheers!

I love this man

Audio producer here and I'd leave one tip based on what you mention around 11:50 about boosting audio a bit. You never, EVER should boost anything with EQ unless you're sound designing and doing that on purpose. Instead you should CUT the other areas leaving the part you want to hear a bit more of the frequency. What I did to clean HyperX Cloud 3 was simply cutting the low end with the HyperX NGENUITY. -3dB to 120Hz; -1.5dB to 64Hz and -3dB to 32Hz. This part is of course completely subjective but I felt it cleaned the soundscape a lot. I like very analytical and bright soundscapes (eg. Beyerdynamics DT 1990 Pro with the "analytic" pads) and this definitely took a step towards that on the much cheaper HyperX Cloud 3.

The t shirt is 🔥

Correction: Cloud 2 released in February 2015. Interesting review of the Cloud 3. Only concern is the yolk situation that more and more users have brought up over time with the wear and tear situation of previous headsets.

same as the cloud II earpad? do i need to upgrade if i have cloud II already?

I’m going to buy cloud 3 for streaming (Can’t afford a pc so i have to stream via mobile) is cloud 3’s mic is enough strong for noise isolation (i mean it’s enough strong to avoid background noises? )

Question. First of all, huge fan of the channel. Keep it up. Secondly you, have you tried gaming using the AirPods Max wired with a lightning to 3.5 mm jack on PlayStation and Xbox? I swear it’s a cheat code in call of duty, however, I only have the turtle Beach elite 800s to compare it to. They are definitely superior to those headphones. I don’t have anywhere near the experience in the headphone game as you do, so I don’t know if I’m listening to a true cheat code or It’s good for me because that’s all that I know based upon my experiences. If possible, you being the headphone king in the game right now, on KZfaq, could you give your thoughts on this?

do you recommend this, Arctis nova 3 or Razer BlackShark v2 the most? I play on ps5 only.

I know for a fact it has a good mic! Time to watch it now💯

Is the cloud 3 extended cable dongle compatible with the XSX? And if so, what are your Dolby Atmos app EQ settings for the Cloud 3? Thank you

Hi, hope you are doing great. I want to buy a new pair of headset, which is cordless, and has Bluetooth and a good mic. I don't want to spend more than 200 dollars. So do you have any suggestions that are going to help? I have watched your review on Razer Barracuda, but the mic is below average. Please tell me which headset I should buy. Thanks

regardless of their prices, is cloud 3 better or the epos h6 pro closed for compettive gaming??

Titan ? Thought that word was exclusive for the Maxwell 😮

How would you compare them to Epos H6 Pro? Those are my go to wired headphones

The wired version looks great. Hopefully when the wireless version releases it's just as feature-rich.

Is Audeze Maxwell better for FPS than Steelseries Arctics Nova pro wireless and wired after adjusting the Software and EQ? Another question, which is better For FPS Audeze Maxwell vs Audeze Mobius 3D Audio vs Audeze Penrose vs VZR Model One? And is there another better headset for FPS? Can I Use Steelseries Nova pro wireless Version as wired and Will It deliver The Same Sound As Wired version?

What are your thoughts on the cloud 2 wireless?

Do you get split volume control even when using the usb cable?

Should I go for Cloud alpha or this?

Would it be possible for you to please do a review of the Kaira Hyperspeed for xbox? I cannot find literally one review of it anywhere =(

please link the headphone holder its really awesome !

0:16 That sounded way off to me, because I remember when they came out and it was not THAT long ago. Looked it up, and they came out in 2015. Maybe the originals came out in 2008, but not the Cloud 2.

How do these compare to the cloud alpha?

I've got the Cloud alpha's, an older model with way thinner pads that weren't comfortable, but with wickedcushions pads, they're nice enough to not really notice. However, doing a small sine test, at around 4kHz, there's a sharp dip, but in regular content, not noticeable. Only complaint is maybe the cable, but I don't use them too much compared to my HD560s'. Anyways, on another note, there's been a history with hyperx cables failing a lot and sometimes not getting audio in the left unless turned in a specific way, and other dumb stuff. Overall, I'd say go with trusted audiophile brands for your audio, and not gaming companies

Yeah, you are experienced user, subscribed...

Will they release a wireless version or this?

For Warzone ,do you think they are better that the alpha s ?thank you

hey @GadgetryTech can you give some quick thoughs about the cloud 3s vs Logitech Pro x 2? especially interested in the bass

Man wearing glasses myself does make EVERY headphone an issue. I bought the cloud 2 for my son and its virtually indestructible. He is 10 now and they have lasted a full year so far and NOTHING has lasted more than 3 months . I would and will buy these without question.

I’ll start by saying that I own a lot of “gaming” headsets (Sony InZone H9, new Astro A30s, TB Stealth Pro, Razer Blackshark V2 Pro (2023 edition), SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, Pulse 3D and the TB Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max which all of these headsets are amazing in their own way and I love gaming on them but I wanted something specifically for Modern Warfare 2 and to take my competitive edge to the next level so I started my research into open-back headphones and it’s opened up an entirely new world. I know there’s a lot of heavy hitters in this market and I know all the “big” names such as the HD560s, 6XX, the DT990 pros or even end-game like the HD 800s and you can definitely get one of those but since I’m a console gamer (play on Ps5) and don’t want to have to get a separate mic or what not I decided to look at the open-back headphones with a microphone and decided to pick up the PC38x and holy smokes this thing makes me excited to play COD lol. It blows all the “gaming” headphones out of the water with the soundstage and imaging and the fact I don’t have to turn down the headset since the highs aren’t ear-piercing. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced headset that puts “gaming” headsets to shame then I highly recommend the PC38x. If you have a setup with a separate mic and want even better (and more expensive) then I’d go with one of the other options I listed above in the open-back category but if you’re a console gamer like me with a simple setup and no separate mic then the PC38x with the flip-to-mute mic is absolutely mind boggling. I’d love to try out the VZR Model Ones but they aren’t available here in Canada yet but I’d definitely purchase day-one once they are since they too come with a microphone. My current gaming setup is a 55” LG C1 OLED, PC38x and then whatever pro controller I’m using (having 2 Scufs, Hex, DualSense edge etc etc

Joey is THE BEST tech review channel on KZfaq. I absolutely love how in-depth and easy to understand everything is. Also, he is truthful about his reviews. Good / Bad, he talks about it all! 100k SUBS INCOMING!

is this headphone 7.1 surroundings?or is much butter than 7.1 surroundings?

Really want to buy these but I already know I cannot do cabled headsets. Too many times I hit cables with my hands or drop cups on my desk. Wish I could though. 😢

Do you have the equalizer stuff for equalizer apo (free eq software for pc)?

Hey would love to see a review about the Razer Hammerhead Pro Hyperspeed

Quick question, not relevant to this video at all, i watched one of your videos uploaded about a year ago and its about the h6pros and the astro a40s, which one is the best for footsteps whether it be rainbow six siege or CoD. Knowing if they're left, right, in front, or behind, and as well picking up the distance they are from you

In my journey to settle on a pair of favorite headset, I am realizing that a lot of the headsets are simply subjective selection, and found myself to watch all available reviews, where one reviewer reviews my tope 2 or 3 headsets - and then finding mutliple reviewers to get to the point what is the best for me and what I am looking for. In this specific case I have used Logitech G935 for the last few years, but the design defect Logi is not addressing kept me getting replacement - and I am quite ready to move away from that model. I liked the sound, surround options as well, adjustments, but time has come: I have tried Razer Nari 7.1, Artics 7P, and Hyper Cloud Cloud III - HyperX were probably the best out of three overall for me, however still fell quite short when comparing sound of G935 and how the sound was on HyperX set. I am now making final selection between these three headsets: - Logitech Pro X 2 - Drop + EPOS PC38X - Audeze Maxwell and I should know which of these three will stay, and what other two will be going back...

I'd like a comparison between the cloud III and the cloud revolver

I mean HyperX got the right idea with working off of an existing music headphone that was good. Building a "gaming" headphone from the ground up is just reinventing the wheel imo. Both the HyperX and the Epos are pretty universally loved and super popular, both of them started life as an actual heaphone by an actual manufacturer who have been doing this for a long time. My personal favorite is the AKG K712Pro that is pretty flat-ish and is like semi-consumer, semi-studio headphone. Absolutely nothing can hide, it just gives you whatever is there, always. I mean its not in the same price range and its open back but point is that a good headphone is a good headphone. I dont much believe in purpose built headphones for gaming ^^ That being said I do use a HyperX Cloud II Wireless for pure convenience when playing certain games and hanging out in discord though, being able to go get a drink or do something without leaving the conversation is really nice!

Great video! I'm looking for comfort, gaming, movie, microphone, and music purposes (Like general). i have Realtek ALC897 and i need usb cause of that. The options is Corsair hs80 usb 70dolar, Logitech G Pro X usb 80dolar, Steelseries arctis Nova 3 usb 65 dolar and Cloud 3 for 100 dolar. My questions is in video you mentioned hs80 have best mic but not as good as sound quality in comparison with cloud 3. There is a 30 dolar difference between them and withoud dolby, do you think i should pay that extra 30 dolar to get that better sound quality with HyperX Cloud III? Like this is my first headset and i wanna know if i buy HS80 USB will i regret cause of the bad sound quality that hs80 have? People say hs80 audio not good but i dont understand how bad it is? Since im living in asia i cant return the product :/

How would you compare these to the Logitech G Pro X or EPOS H6 Pro closed back with the GSX300?

Do you know if I could use Dolby Atmos with this headset and set up EQ through Atmos?

I bought the Razer Blackshark V2 yesterday, did not know these got released. I really hate the microphone position that it just can't stand on the side so I can't see it. And also the textile cushions feel a bit strange, I have been using the HyperX Cloud Alpha for like 4 years. I am split if I should return the Blackshark and get the Cloud III again. What would you advice me?

If this have a white color this thing will be one of the best seller this year

Would you recommend these over the Beyerdynamic TYGR 300 R's? I wouldn't be using the headset on the hyperx cloud's, I have an external mic

Could I enable Windows "bass boost enhancement" instead of messing with the EQ?

dont these get hot and warm with the leather ear cups and band? doesn't seem very comfortable

cloud 3 or g pro x 2 lightspeed if I don't care about price?

Can you share eq settings. Out of the box they sound bad in CS2 compared to my Cloud II

The wireless version of this headset just dropped and apparently it has an incredible mic, 120 hours of battery life, and new angled and tuned drivers. Review soon?

H6 pro open or cloud 3?

Hi, i would like to know which wireless gaming headset is your current daily driver/you use the most. Still the Nova Pro Wireless?

Cloud II is came out in 2005m the same year as Takstar Pro 80 which is basicly the same headset with munor differences.

I can't decide between the HyperX Alpha wireless and the Cloud III, anyone have any advice/preference? My primary concern is comfort. Where I am the Cloud III is about $124, and the alpha is $170 (on sale). Is the audio so much better that its worth going up the $46?

I wish he could tell us the exact number for the tune

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

H6 pro or cloud 3 or pro x 2 for comp 🤔

How competitive on COD is it compared to a Nova 7?

Hi , Does this cloud 3 has a software for volume mixer ? like Rzor blackshark v2 has or its just mergerd with the computer audio ?

When is it coming to Europe???

Would have hoped it did not need a dac to get the frequency response right, the old one was perfect, dac just amplified, did not correct the response

Looks nice but I would like to see a wireless revolver :/

Can you connect these to Xbox series s?

missed opportunity to be successor to legendary headset

The USB - C feature is a game changer. I used my Cloud IIs for 7 years. Used a cloud core for 3 years now, I can't wait to get this.

What makes you think the cloud 2 came out in 2008? It was 2015

Thanks for the video! Tell me please, what is better for FPS gaming, Logitech G Pro X or Cloud III?

would you recommend H1 or Cloud 3 for pure FPS gaming?

Whats the diffrence between the Cloud III and the Cloud Alpha? And which one would you prefer?

As much as I enjoy HyperX headsets. I think I’ll stick with the Arctis Prime I got for $25. (A steal in my opinion.) I honestly like them more than the Arctis Pros.

Since HYPERX was sold by Kingston to HP, can you do a review comparing the Cloud IIs during the "Kingston Era" and the Cloud IIs during the current "HP Era"? Many people are saying that the Kingston ones are better, many people say that they're the same in quality, it's just an endless circle.
