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.
"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
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.
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.
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.
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.
and hopefully it doesnt pop and crackle like the Alpha wireless. That thing had soooooooooo many issues that Hyper X confirmed, said they would fix, and then just ghosted everyone.
@@shantodas8184 I bought HyperX Cloud Wireless and there was a constant buzzing noise even when not connected to any device. No way to update the firmware. Sound quality is the same, or even worse than the wired version, while being twice as expensive. Returned them on the same day.
I loved hyperx, but i swear their mic would give out so much on me. I legit had like 4 pairs, and the mic all gave out within a year lol. Which sucks, cuz I really loved the clouds.
Joey is THE BEST tech review channel on UA-cam. 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!
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
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
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...
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.
Okay, I like the microphone, heard it elsewhere and it's really nice. Looks good & seems like a easy grab! =) thanks for the in depth review as always Joe! Quality is top notch, oh, i take one of your headset stands good sir! 😂
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
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.
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.
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’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
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
I have the cloud alpha s and have had a bunch of other gaming headsets over the years all marketed as "surround sound". I bought a pair of the Hd560s a couple of months ago and I will definitely NEVER buy another "gaming" headset again
@@christoph9510 I too own the HD560s', but personally, I'm just searching for some closed backs preferably with a mic, and I do have some on my radar, the one I'm most likely gonna get being the MMX300
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
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?
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.
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!
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 UA-cam, could you give your thoughts on this?
Thanks so much for the kind words! I haven't used them before tbh. I haven't found a need or justification on purchasing them, but I can see why you'd like them for gaming. They are tuned well and likely have excellent driver matching considering Apple's manufacturing power. I'd say that if that's good, roll with it! Some others to consider for FPS games at the higher end are the TB Stealth Pro and VZR Model One.
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!
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?

What is your current opinion on Cloud 3 at the moment? Mine is on the way and I need honest opinions at this point please help me out.
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?
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
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!
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
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? )
the kaira x is another good budget wired option that doesn't really seem to get any attention. better build quality than the blackshark and nova series and since rtings has reviewed/measured it, you can utilize autoeq profiles for it but yea, i'm glad they've modernized the cloud series with angled drivers/earcups and a sound profile that doesn't have any stupid dips in the treble
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?
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?
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.
My experience was the HP are indeed lower quality. They felt cheaper, sounded hollower, and the mic sounded more "tinny". I ended up buying some old new stock Kingston ones off of eBay and they were as great as always.
@@bruizer3183i was planning to buy a new headphone I was leaning towards the cloud 3 but heard a lot about hp. I am thinking about Blackshark V2 now is it good ?
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. 😢
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 :/
Hi you want the best headphones on The market go for the new turtle beach stealth pro 3 I have them there awesome for movies music and specially for gaming it's your one and done audio if you cannot afford them save up for them you will thank me later stay safe and happy gaming to all
Used the cloud II for 5 years, bought the cloud III and this is so bad the audio is mid it's flat no bass at all very flat audio zero signature, the sound is too low on PS5, good on PC, the comfort is 20/10 very comfortable, the microphone is amazing, the wire feeling is horrible whenever it touch or rubs something you can hear a very very disturbing sound in the headset. Conclusion very comfortable headset with a very very good microphone but the audio is veeery basic and without character
I've been really enjoying the TYGR, even to this day. I reviewed them in the past. I'll have a follow up video coming out on them soon, as Wicked Cushions dropped some new pads. I wanted to measure it again with the pads, and also discuss where they stand in today's market. In short, they're excellent for mixed content, and FPS.
Honestly...get the cloud 2 wireless, think about it. Rocksolid headset, great audio and good mic but now there should be a price drop because of the cloud 3
Another great, in-depth evaluation and review. Thank you as always for your time and effort to share this with us all.
Thank you for mentioning the lack of detachable cable. I don't know why most reviewers skip this.
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!

you’re saying there’s too much bass out of the box ? many of the reviews on the 3’s say the bass isn’t that pronounced on the Cloud 3’s
because people are used to headsets with boosted bass @@Hypno_BPM
thank so much for taking the time, effort, and money to do these. Helps inform me immensely when I'm making a purchase

I'd say that if that's good, roll with it! Some others to consider for FPS games at the higher end are the TB Stealth Pro and VZR Model One.
Hey @GadgetryTech how do you compare the Cloud 3 to the Cloud Alpha, which one would you say is better?
If this have a white color this thing will be one of the best seller this year
How would you compare these to the Logitech G Pro X or EPOS H6 Pro closed back with the GSX300?
What happend eventually?
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!
missed opportunity to be successor to legendary headset
dont these get hot and warm with the leather ear cups and band? doesn't seem very comfortable
They do get warm over time yeah. They cool quickly if you take them off your head though
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?
What is your current opinion on Cloud 3 at the moment? Mine is on the way and I need honest opinions at this point please help me out.
It's a common misconception to underestimate the Cloud II's microphone.
What makes you think the cloud 2 came out in 2008? It was 2015
Do you have the equalizer stuff for equalizer apo (free eq software for pc)?
Should I go for Cloud alpha or this?
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?
Titan ? Thought that word was exclusive for the Maxwell 😮
Yeah, you are experienced user, subscribed...
DOPE T-SHIRT BRO!
Amazon baby! amzn.to/3oMFatq
I wonder if they’re gonna do a cloud alpha 2 or a successor to it?
regardless of their prices,
is cloud 3 better or the epos h6 pro closed for compettive gaming??
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
How do these compare to the cloud alpha?
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!
i dont know why but the cable noise on this was unbearable for me coming from the cloud 2
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
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
same as the cloud II earpad? do i need to upgrade if i have cloud II already?
The t shirt is 🔥
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? )
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 =(
How would you compare them to Epos H6 Pro? Those are my go to wired headphones
do you recommend this, Arctis nova 3 or Razer BlackShark v2 the most? I play on ps5 only.
Whats the diffrence between the Cloud III and the Cloud Alpha? And which one would you prefer?
is this headphone 7.1 surroundings?or is much butter than 7.1 surroundings?
hey @GadgetryTech can you give some quick thoughs about the cloud 3s vs Logitech Pro x 2? especially interested in the bass
I think the Pro X 2 bass is better
the kaira x is another good budget wired option that doesn't really seem to get any attention. better build quality than the blackshark and nova series and since rtings has reviewed/measured it, you can utilize autoeq profiles for it
but yea, i'm glad they've modernized the cloud series with angled drivers/earcups and a sound profile that doesn't have any stupid dips in the treble
Do you get split volume control even when using the usb cable?
What are your thoughts on the cloud 2 wireless?
For Warzone ,do you think they are better that the alpha s ?thank you
I love this man
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?
I just returned my v2 for the Cloud 3 do it!
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?
Which one did you end up choosing? Alpa s or cloud 3 , tough choice
Do you know if I could use Dolby Atmos with this headset and set up EQ through Atmos?
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.
My experience was the HP are indeed lower quality. They felt cheaper, sounded hollower, and the mic sounded more "tinny". I ended up buying some old new stock Kingston ones off of eBay and they were as great as always.
@@bruizer3183i was planning to buy a new headphone I was leaning towards the cloud 3 but heard a lot about hp. I am thinking about Blackshark V2 now is it good ?
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
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. 😢
Cloud II is came out in 2005m the same year as Takstar Pro 80 which is basicly the same headset with munor differences.
I am very confused on why did you say the Cloud 2 launched in 2008? Those launched in 2015, am I missing something?
Yeah it was a mistake. In my head it was 8 years ago, but 2008 came out instead. Great catch. Sorry for the confusion!
@@GadgetryTech Haha no problem! I just thought you knew something I don't!
H6 pro open or cloud 3?
cloud 3 or g pro x 2 lightspeed if I don't care about price?
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 :/
Hi you want the best headphones on The market go for the new turtle beach stealth pro 3 I have them there awesome for movies music and specially for gaming it's your one and done audio if you cannot afford them save up for them you will thank me later stay safe and happy gaming to all
Can you share eq settings. Out of the box they sound bad in CS2 compared to my Cloud II
Could I enable Windows "bass boost enhancement" instead of messing with the EQ?
I'd like a comparison between the cloud III and the cloud revolver
Will they release a wireless version or this?
I think I'll stick with my original Kingston Cloud II's for now. I had some of the new HP Cloud II's and wasn't very impressed with them.
please link the headphone holder its really awesome !
Used the cloud II for 5 years, bought the cloud III and this is so bad the audio is mid it's flat no bass at all very flat audio zero signature, the sound is too low on PS5, good on PC, the comfort is 20/10 very comfortable, the microphone is amazing, the wire feeling is horrible whenever it touch or rubs something you can hear a very very disturbing sound in the headset.
Conclusion very comfortable headset with a very very good microphone but the audio is veeery basic and without character
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
I've been really enjoying the TYGR, even to this day. I reviewed them in the past. I'll have a follow up video coming out on them soon, as Wicked Cushions dropped some new pads. I wanted to measure it again with the pads, and also discuss where they stand in today's market. In short, they're excellent for mixed content, and FPS.
Hi, i would like to know which wireless gaming headset is your current daily driver/you use the most. Still the Nova Pro Wireless?
Maxwell and Stealth Pro gets used more recently. I still like the NPW though!
@@GadgetryTech Good to hear. Any plans on reviewing the Razer Kraken V3 Pro?
HP bought Hyper X O,O
I only had bad experience with Hp, hope people that bought this will have a good experience
im in between these, blackshark v2 (2023), G Pro X2, and the TB stealth pro. Any advice?
Honestly...get the cloud 2 wireless, think about it. Rocksolid headset, great audio and good mic but now there should be a price drop because of the cloud 3
@@julianmorgan79 so get the cloud 2 wireless than wired cloud 3? its just few $ more for cloud 2 wireless
@@janmichaelsuarez2996 what's the prices there?
Get the Razer Blackshark V2 2023. It has a better mic, and fabric ear cups, and wireless.
Based of many reviews I watched (I didn’t own any) I think TB wins
Thanks for the video! Tell me please, what is better for FPS gaming, Logitech G Pro X or Cloud III?
Both are excellent for FPS so that’s a tough call. I think it comes down to personal preference.
@@GadgetryTech , got it, thank you so much!
@@turbo_dan777which one did you gwt and how was it
@@BiOHZRD97 ,you have already asked me in another videos…
