To my ears, the Cloud II sounded better in the microphone test. It just has a lesser bass but it has more clarity into it.
You would love the microphone quality of the xbox 360 headset.
I think its the cloud iii is technically better quality, sounds more like a real voice. But unless its in the for him uncomfortable position of right in front yeah, it sounds too muted and unclear vs cloud ii so I think would definitely be worse for actually talking to people and them hearing you clearly. Maybe new one fairs better cancelling out loud keyboard noise, fan or something? lol.
Totally agree. Cloud 3 made Demetri sound like he had a cold - super muffled
something must be up with his headset cause every other review for the Cloud 3’s mic sounds amazing
totally agreed, cloud II's mic quality was much, much better!
Great review Dmitry. I love how you include gameplay clips in your more recent headset reviews. Keep up the good work.
Love my Cloud II. Have been using it for the last 6 years without any issues. When it comes to replacing them in the future when the time comes. I'll be looking for another Cloud II if I can still get them.
the cloud IIs you bought 6 years ago and the cloud IIs they sell now are different. Since the HP takeover the cloud IIs build quality is terrible.
@@derick6356. Yes I found that out from a video I watched few videos after this one. I hope I can find a decent headset for around the price off this one when the time comes.
I'm in the same boat, my hyperx cloud 2s are almost 5 years old, if they broke I would probably change to a Beyerdynamic dt 770
@@derick6356 Does it affect sound quality, or is it just build quality?
@@YEPCLOCK69 only cheaper build and cusion quality.
I believe the original Cloud was the best in terms of mic quality. I fail to understand what headset manufacturers are doing. The only reasonable explanation I have is that they just don't intend to make really good products. The knowledge is there, after more than 20 years of creating PC headsets. But what do you get if you produce a really good product that lasts a decent while? Very few sales.
get the corsair hs80 for good mic these ones are so bad for what they price it at
@@davip5733HS80 is fantastic in generall
The average buyer most likely doesn't care about mic quality as they don't have to listen to it.
Sennheisers have the best mics. Very sensitive condensers. I used the PC360 for 10 years.
@@cl4ster17yeah agreed besides if we the customers can save money if they cut costs on mic quality than why not. as long as others can understand what your saying, that’s good enough i guess.
Using ready or not as a sound test is a bad idea. The game is unfinished, and the audio engine routinely throws errors in placement. People sound above you when below you, sometimes they are two floors above and sound right next to you. I would not use such an experience to judge the merits of a headset
This, i think the audio system is being updated in 1.0 anyways
@@AysoXD I'm really looking forward to the 1.0 release - lots of goodies planned.
hii do u think i should buy this pair? i use rn skullcandy crushers the 200$ ones but i want a headset with mic close to mouth
Tbh I thought the cloud II mic was way better than the cloud III which was more muffled based on what I'm hearing in this video. Of course the H6pro was the best but mic wise i would go for the cloud II. Not so sure about the comfort level as different people have different head shape so it may differ from user to user
3 is better without a doubt.
Cloud 3 mic is so boxy
i think the corsair hs 65 also has a really good mic.
not true but tbh theyre both very good. most important thing is how these are the best sound whoring sets on the market. ive spent a disgusting amount of money trying flagship headsets from dif companies and these are them. they just are. most recent was the $350 nova pros from steelseries and dont even bother with those turds. obv im some rando on the internet but these reviewers are usually BOTS in FPS. fyi dont buy the lower end hyper products. also if youre into story games and crap dont take my advice, these can sound pretty good after some EQ settings for music and stuff but for FPS gamers BUY RIGHT NOW.
@@Hypno_BPMif u want it for esports gaming then I think cloud 2 is better.
I used to use audio technica mh50 but the pleather ear pads disintegrated and the headphones really hurt my ears. I switched to the hyper x cloud 2 headphones about a year or so ago and I love them. The sound is very good and extremely comfortable. I hardly notice them on my head! I'm tempted to get the wireless version of hyper x or sennheiser 569 closed back in the future. Sound quality and comfort is my top priority since I wear my headphones for 12+ hours a day. I'd be interested in hearing about any other headphones that have the sound quality and comfort of the sennheiser 569 closed back or hyper x cloud 2 under $200.
The reason why the HyperX Cloud II was so good is because it was a rebranding of Hifi Headhphones "Takstar Pro 80". They tried to engineer their own thing, and they never got close.
Yep
I think it's time for another headset microphone roundup! by the way thanks to your last microphone roundup i purchased the cooler master MH751. I work in a call center like job for tech support and I wanted more emphasis on the quality of the microphone more than the speakers! almost two years later and they are going strong!
My pair finally broke and can’t find a new one anywhere do u know where to find them Amazon says they’re not on their website anymore so idk what to do lol
I bought this headset the first week and immediately returned it, I was expecting the audio to sound close to or as good as the Alpha series headsets. I'm not sure why but the audio sounded so muffled to me after using the basic Alpha headset for years. The headset is definitely comfortable, but if you are looking for high quality audio don't go with this headset. Yes I went through every windows/hyperx setting possible thinking mine was broken at first.
Thanks buddy, good review.
Which audiocard do u use?
Gotta say im in the same situation, i thought black friday deals would be a good time to buy Cloud 3's to replace my Alphas ive had since 2017. I wish i had done more research because the 3's are a definite step down in audio quality from the Alpha's. Ill probably be returning them soon.
Why would you think a neutral flat sound profile would come any close to the trash overblown profile of the alphas?😂
@@HelloImCrimson Some just earrippers i guess. If you compare any alpha to the cloud 3 on a frequency chart ( out of the box, no EQ-changes ) its pretty clear how much better the cloud 3 performs. Unless someone likes trashy, tin-can blaster sound profiles, the cloud 3 is many times better.
as a audiophile and someone who bought the HyperX cloud 2 on release for my gaming setup i can say the cloud 3 doesnt compare to a lot in the cloud 2 , i used a audio tuner to fix the sharpness in the high end of my cloud 2 and now its basically perfect for my gaming setup , mic wise like even in the test you did the cloud 2 sounded a bit better than the cloud 3 , and yes in terms of comfort the cloud 3 are a bit better but i have the WC freeze ear cups from wicked cushions for my cloud 2 which were more than enough to fix the comfort issue for me .
btw for anyone here looking to buy the headset for music rather than gaming go with the cloud 2 not 3 if you insist on getting a headset, but personally i would recommend other headphones if your main priority is music like the DT770 or the Sennheiser HD600
I want just for valorant only.. any recommendation?
Which audio tuner do you recommend? I'm using the cloud 2 for a little gaming but mostly for listening to music at work. My 3.5mm jack is broken on my computer and my headset must have a mic for work meetings, so I chose the cloud 2 over the sennheisers
@@namelesstemple i use equalizer APO , if you want a tutorial on how to comfortably use the app and install its interface correctly there are tutorials out there by trusted people in the audiophile community like crinical who have shown how to use the app
Music literally sounds best on a flat neutral sound stage like on the cloud III. Alphas have overblown bass and fucked up highs, its pretty bad for music
why would a so called "audiophile" buy a headset over proper headphones?
I've had the Cloud 2's, the Cloud Revolver S, and the Cloud Alpha 2. The Cloud 2 is without a doubt the best one Ive ever had. Sound Quality was just unbeatable.
Look at the bitrate on your PC hahhahaa😂
@@ogcuratedwhat’s the bitrate ?
The Cloud III being worse in terms of directionality isn't a surprise, since that's exactly what toned down highs causes (and vise versa).
The sometimes already harsh sounding highs of the Cloud II is exactly what gives it its great directional sound.
You can't have both soft highs and directional sounds ... at least not in this price range.
Its literally a flat profile. Pls never speak again 😂
Yeah I have to agree. I love the cloud 2 so much. I’ve found that the sound on the cloud 3 is very boring, there’s no body or depth. So sound on the cloud 2 is very fun, it has a very gentle V-shape to the sound, the perfect amount of bass, mid, and high. It’ll be interesting to see what they come up with if they make a new cloud alpha.
I just ordered the 2 because of this comment.
@@namelesstemple I have no doubt that you’ll love it!
@@namelesstemple I'm still on my original pair from launch. You won't regret it
V-shape has recessed mids.
I've been using the original Clouds as my daily headset for more than 7 years and the nondetachable cable is becoming an issue. I'm not sure if fixing the cable is better than just buying another headset (I already had the plugs fixed).
That being said, after my long-term experience, I can say that the HyperX Cloud are a great headset series. The only thing I'd love to have is a detachable cable.
Quick Update: I got the cable fixed, but I had to sacrifice the mic... Which I never used in the first place. They are still fsntastic headphones.
@@JuanCAraujoS 7 years here too. Tried the Alpha S, couldn't stand it.
I still use the original clouds as a backup to my Sundara hifi stuff when I forget to charge my amp. Have been using the clouds for like 8 plus yrs no problem.
The headset is solid but there doesn't seem to be any replacement mics on the market yet, which is concerning.
The whole selling point of a detachable mic is that if it breaks, you can replace it.
How do you break a mic
@@freshmoney899
It happens.
Mics can also fail and die after prolonged use (like any other piece of tech).
I remember cloud 2 was like the best headphone and a lot of people use it during that time, I still have it somewhere but it like 10/100 condition, the left output is not working anymore and I bought Cloud Flight because it's wireless, still using it till today. and now I guess it's time to this one too
I hate headset with a volume control. After a year or two, it always begin to screw the stereo balance (you lose volume left or right)...
Omg true
I returned my 3's and got the Alpha instead. Somehow WAY better and comfortable sound in my opinion.
Is the Alpha one can use 3.5 jack?
@@NoOneWouldCare Yes
@@RikkuChaser ok thx
@@RikkuChaser do you think I should get the hyperx cloud alpha or hyperx cloud x ??
@@dlxaytra1087 It really depends, do you prefer sound quality? Then Alpha. Do you NEED a good mic? Then the 3.
I've used cloud alphas for like 3 years and I been thinking about using the cloud 3. But none the less awesome reviews from you guys as always 😊
I would go for studio headset like sennheiser for better sound for music, and also gaming ofc. studio headset will sound way better for listening music and content
@@nbhd996 thanks for the recommendation 👍
@@nbhd996 The could II had amazing sound quality for a gaming headset, and for a cheap headset in general. People overlook this but it actually was it's main selling point and strenght, not comfort. It wasn't "reference" but it was good, much better than anything in it's class or double as expensive. No other headset from Hyperclass came close to it, and when I saw they replaced the speakers in this one I knew it would be the case too. Shame
@@ulrich_badmecanique there is better option for the same price and even for a lower price than the Cloud II for years now...
I would recommend Alpha S, they are better than Alpha when you use the usb C sound card, the harshness is controlled a little bit with the usb sound card included, and the audio is much more controlled and very full to enjoy music and AAA games as well, in cloud series Alpha S is the best headset as per my personal usage (used alpha, alpha s , cloud core, core 2, stinger, revolver, this review is only based on which cloud headphone I liked the most for csgo and valorant and AAA games like genshin, warzone, studio headphone may always be a better buy but for gaming pc38x is still my fav over any cloud headset, maybe h6 pro is simialr to pc38x)
I hope the earcup wires, that sticking out does not get stiff, since I think it was due to the stiffness, that I lost my left audio on my HyperX Cloud 2, 7.1's
May I ask if you're using the h6pro with or without a dac in this review ?
This is so disappointing. I had the original Kingston HyperX clouds for many years and when they died I got the now just HyperX Cloud 2s hoping they were the same because it was such a good headset. Now when these die, if they no longer make the 2, I will be avoiding the 3. Its sad to see the fall of a legend. Hopefully they come out with a better version by then or I'll be switching.
@unholydonuts Sony has been making great headphones and speakers for longer than Audeze-nutz existed. I wouldn't worry about it
Are the ear cushions of the HyperX Cloud III smaller or larger than the Cloud II? One of the reasons I loved the Cloud II is its generously sized ear cushions that provided a perfect fit for my big ears, unlike my previous headsets.
So I know I’m late but is it better then the simple 3D audio PlayStation pulse headphones
May I ask, if you had DTS (Unbound app from Microsoft store) enabled during your tests or not? According to some threads where users also complained about the worse audio quality, compared to the cloud II, this seems to solve the issue. IMO, It should be part of the Hyper X installation if it's needed that badly. But knowing how to get good sound out of this headset is better than regretting the purchase.
We need a hyperX/Epos collab. I have the Drop pc38x. And I love them. But they're also...made of all plastic and it feels like a toy. If they ever collab and make a hyper x metal build of that type of headset/mic combo, im all about it.
Nevermind. You mentioned HP bought HyperX. Rip hyperx i guess. Big companies never buy great brands to make the products even better. They do it to make more money on the brand name. They'll cut costs, and quality, and HyperX will be a shell of its former self. Its the end of an era... Cause big corpo has their claws in it now.
The removable cable is what I’m up to these days. Just got the Logitech Pro X bluvoice with removable cable, and yes that makes me feel more future proof and long term for me. Removable cable is a must for me now
Removable cable is a must for me too
my cloud 1 has this problem after 10 years , I need to change the wire ... not a big difference between 1 and 2 .
wasn’t expecting the mic quality to be the same as my temu headset. (thx 4 the vid, saved my self sum>$.)
I'm sitting here with my 6 year old Cloud Alpha headset where the plasticiser is releasing from the plastic and that's why everything is unpleasantly sticky.
The headset itself still works perfectly and it is really robustly built.
No options for plush/velour cushions in-the-box is a no go for me, oh well.
Imagine not buying the thousands of good cheap replacements already made for the cloud 2 because of your lack of critical thinking
Just buy a dt770 trust me you happy for the next 10 years atleast.
@@Weneedaplaguehe’s talking about how it’s not included with the product in box mate
@@dashofawesome64 Looks awesome! I actually bought *HS80 RGB Wireless* back in december, the comfort, the sound, the mic is great... but the quality control is bad (well known if you look around) and my left earcup detached, its still usable, but I'm sad having spend a good amount of money for this.
@@dashofawesome64 he shouldn't buy it if he's treble sensitive. If he is then it would be an torture device rather than headphone.
Got them today. Can't complain. They're comfy and have great sound, even more so for music. I primarily play CS2.
I didn't realize these were that popular. I just got a pair of i assume last gens model for free. I saw it was tossed in the e-waste bin at work and they looked nice so i figured they might be worth keeping. Now I'm glad I did.
It can't replace anything in my audiophile opinion...
8 years of development yet fails to isolate an audio cable, and that mute /unmute bop is awful, combined with a nightmare'ish software that will make you wanna break something! For 140 Euros...... HELL NO
Great video as always
What is your recommendation under 150 ?
@@seawolf7610 PC38X
Big corpo has their claws in hyperx now. They are not the same company. Even the packaging is cheap as hell compared to the way the cloud 2 was packaged. Kingston is stupid for selling of literally the best most well known part of their company. Literally stupid.
@@seawolf7610 Like Lullby said^^
Headsets: Sennheiser pc38x it has the loud crisp volume, it's comfortable, zero cable noise, decent mic
I would however suggest buying them separately (Mic + "Headphones") because it's simply just better!
FIFINE T669: 50 Euros is a boom arm microphone that will sound better than ANY headset on the market.
Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 80/250 ohm: 150 Euros, I've had mine for 6 years now and is one of the best long term headphones you can get
@@Lullaby999999999I have these. They are very comfortable and sounds really good, but they are a little too plastic for me. Just a metal inner band would give me more confidence.
Thanks much for reviewing, I was planning to switch but not now.
Stereo imaging is literally the most important thing for a gaming headset :P Kind of DQs itself there then.
Ever since becoming HP hyperx lost their way.
My first cloud II were awesome and lasted me 5 years...
Then i had 2 more after them becoming an HP company and they clearly downgraded quality control and plastics don't last, within 1 year the 2 newer ones also broke and I do take care of my stuff as they were never dropped.
I got them on sale so i didn't bother with warranty / RMA... I just moved on from them.
Their sound had a profile I liked and got even better with Dolby atmos on windows 10/11 but ultimately i need then to last and it is a shame their 3rd version isn't anything special. If feels like HP is sunsetting hyperx
same. the cloud II (legacy ill call it). The cloud II's by HP are sooo shit in terms of quality and materials
I had my cloud II's from 2016 last me 5+ years of beating and when they finally broke I bought one on HP for $40 after tax because of a sale thinking they were the same.
sent those back so fast.
wanted the legacy ones so I went to eBay but couldnt find any except the HP cloud II's until one day I finally got lucky and found someone selling a special edition RIOT GAMES cloud IIs from 2016 that they gave to their employees for $40
Any chance you plan to do an Audeze Maxwell review in the near future? I know 300 is a lot and usually wait til I hear from you guys before I pull the trigger.
where can i get your wallpaper ?
its look amazing
Sound quality for rock? Or music in general like mids highs and bass, how do they sound? I've had the cloud 2 they sounded pretty damn good i might get the cloud 3 idk yet
I used to love my clouds. But then I made my 58x and Beyerdynamic Tygrs my gaming headsets and I couldn’t go back. Open back is the way to go imo.
You are absolutely right. Got a pc38x earlier this year in like feb. And i instantly fell in love. HyperX cloud 2 was great. Logitech G pro x was also great, with slightly better mic quality. But the pc38x mic, and sound, and not having to tweak any software cause they're so well tuned. Is just amazing. Its my first set of actual high quality cans. And the sound is amazing. They made my mom cry cause of how clear, separated, and balanced the sound is compared to my previous headsets.
@@HeartInLightif i only wanna play valorant.. do you still recommend pc38x ? I will never listen to music
정말 자세한 리뷰네요. 마이크 길이, sidetone 내용은 도움이 많이 되었습니다.
the biggest issue i had with Cloud II is the plastic thing on hindge broke and there's no replacement parts avail. No AliExpress headband because of how they are wired.
This so much, the only reason I had to buy another pair of Alphas was because plastic hinge broke
I've just purchased Cloud3 after 8 years with cloud2 yesterday.. which alternative would you recommend? Specially for gaming and sound directions, footsteps etc..?
You can consider Logitech G Pro X for the fps games.Idk about the mic quality but most of the fps players use G Pro X
@@lwynnd thank you sir!
Totally agree with i was feeling same when i first weared it but after 1-2 days i got used to it. Ignoring that we missing that sharp sounds in fps games i was ok with it and on the other hand left happy with the improved microphone. Its almost a month since i got cloud 3 and dont regret it. Also believe that people will manage to bring cloud 2 sounds in nginuity equalizer for those who prefer cloud2 sound
do u play valorant too?
Is it good for valorant? Directional audio? I heard some say the cloud 3 has better directional audio some say cloud 2, what do you really think?
@@BiOHZRD97 already bought it, it's good for valorant (my preference)
@@BaguzL99 alright thank you i think ill buy the cloud 3 over alpha s
what eq do u use?
III's mic sounds to me much better than II's, but the Ii's was quite quiet for me and if this picks even less then it's almost like having no mic.
How about pinpoint sound, is it good in competitive fps games
When will a gaming headset ever get good enough to the point where the SHP9500 plus the boom mic cable is now a sidegrade instead of the overall better product
Is it really good for valorant?
Kinda ironic that my modded Cloud IIs with detachable cable seem like a better product overall...
It really took them 8 years to slightly improve sound and mic quality, damn 💀
Thank you for the very detailed video. My old Hyper x Cloud Alpha is now unfortunately defective. I was now considering buying the Alpha 3 but am unsure. It still costs 88 euros here at the moment. Do you have any ideas for a headset that would be cheaper and better? The sound quality is also very important to me as I use it to listen to music.
@Eric-wu8py Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, I can't get them in Germany.
Still using my Cloud II since 2016, bad exterior condition but sound is still perfect
Desperately need an updated Wireless Headphones Roundup or Best Of video for 2023 Dimitry!
There are so many options, and a mix of older offerings that you've reviewed along with newer models that you haven't (eg H3PRO Hybrid) that my head spins trying to make a choice for Black Friday :(
Great review though! Love your stuff.
Did you try plugging the cloud 3s into the cloud 2 audio card, or plugging the cloud 3s directly into your motherboard sound card?
The only reason hyperx did a good job on the sound quality of the cloud 2 is that they didnt do anything at all. They left it to the actual sound company which is Takstar (Pro 80) and worked on the look. Instead of buying these I'd rather but Takstar Pro 82, Gm200 (microphoned version), Isk Mdh8500 (new takstar pro 80) or the open back version of it , Isk Hf2010.
Love your videos dimitry ! Keep it up 👌🏻🔥
Had the cloud, cloud 2 and the cloud alpha loved all of them. Might consider getting this now
Thank you for the review it was really helpful!
i dont understand gaming headsets with pleather cuffs, we're literally gaming for hours it will get hot
Which Cloud 2 was used? The "new" HP Cloud 2 or the older (better) Kingston Cloud 2?
Soundwise/audioquality vs Arctis nova 3 wich would you think its better?
This headset feels so good around the ears, especially for people with big ears like me. Feels very light and sound is great. The only things I do not like about this headset is it takes 5-10 seconds of holding the power button to turn it on and off, and once it is on there is no LED indicator to let you know it is on. But besides that this is a 9/10 headset at it's price point.
i plug it in G7 because i fed up with its dongle. but yes, i went back to cloud2 and cloud core wireless after used it for just 3 weeks.
Love my cloud 2 wireless, probably gonna wait a bit to upgrade
Cloud 3 wireless surprisingly sounds better than the wired version. Mic sound and speaker sound. Do a side by side comparison and see if im lying 🤥
The video I've been waiting for. I really hope they upgrade the Alpha headset to have angled drivers, too.
Edit: Only want angled drivers if they can deliver as good or better sound quality. I knew Kingston would take a dive after HP bought them.
You mean HyperX. Kingston sold the HyperX brand to HP
@@EMPeter Sure. Lost respect for Kingston for selling out regardless.
lol hyperx alpha s is an angled drivers
my mic is not being detected by my pc how do i fix pls help
how is the long turm comfort going to be as the cloud 2 gets a bit much after a little while
Best thumbnail ever
Thanks for the ear pad website tip. Just ordered a par of pads for my Alphas.
Sometimes it's better to not change anything/too much. I remember when the mx518 was legendary and they tried to give us the G400. It failed horrible and so they basically gave us the exact same model mx518 back but called it "legendary" or something. I use the hyper x cloud ii for many many years now and it works absolutely perfect. There isn't really any reason to change something like the mic or sound. A bit weight reduction, a bit more comfort is fine. I don't even need the adjustable volume and mute on the headset itself because the soundcard is placed exactly in front of my keyboard and it's much easier to reach to that than up to the headset. The only thing I know would like to see is a wireless version. Swirling around the cable is really annoying.
There is already cloud 2 wireless.
Bad stereo imaging kills this headset. That's the one reason to buy a good gaming headset especially with competitive titles and even single player ones with spatial 3D audio. The non removable cable is also a questionable move.
Been using my Blackshark v2 for 4 years, still by far one of the best gaming headphones and super cheap on sales day. Sleeping more on Clouds
Wondering to buy cloud 3 or the blackshark v2 .. is it good for valorant?
@@BiOHZRD97 Yeah I actually play a lot of Valorant and I think it's great. In price comparison to Cloud 3, you may even get the V2 Pro (wireless) instead.
@@CodeNet0911 here the v2 pro (2020)is around 50% more expensive than the cloud 3.. the 2023 version is 110% more expensive.. is it really worth the money? Since i dont care about sound quality for music.. only for directional audio to play valorant and have that competitive advantage
@@BiOHZRD97 Depending on your location it may vary. But for US, on Amazon the V2 Pro is $100 (white version on sale for $90) which is the same as Cloud 3 $100 headset. Overall, V2 (with soundcard) and V2X (without soundcard) are further budget ones down the line, Sound queue is really good I never had issues. If you want to avoid cable, then take wireless. If you want the ability to adjust audio, then get at least the V2, and if you just want a budget but insane value for performance, then go for V2X
What should I get? Logitech g pro x or Hyperx Cloud III?
i was thinking the same. what did u bought??
@@mizanamal8198 I got Cloud III, it's #1 in comfort but you need to play with the sound a bit if you live in Europe (Volume limitations EU)
anyone gonna talk about how good this guy is at battlefield 1? sick aim dude
Are we comparing a new in box cloud 2 with a cloud 3? Or is the baseline an aged cloud 2?
Your thumbnail made me laugh out loud.
i need help cloud ııı better than g432?
i like the 432, it reflects the bass very well with a nice echo setting, but the sound sensitivity is no longer satisfactory i need help on this. Do you think it makes sense to switch from g432 to this headset?
come on HyperX, it's 2023. Microphone wires have vastly improve!
does the cloud 3 mic works con cloud 2?
Just got this headset yesterday and love it. Been using it with the sound blaster gc7. Great buy 👍
I'm still using a Bose QC35 w/ AvanTree Leaf AptX BT adapter, and a AntLion ModMic Wireless Pro. Not really sure what upgrade I have over this config.
GSP 370 is the best headset ive ever used, especially considering from day to day use. 100 hr battery life is amazing, sound quality is pretty good too
Im so happy i moved into the Hifi segment of audio products....I dont know why people waste their money on these products at this point.
>DTS:X on the box
Can already tell it's worse.
My Cloud 2s just shorted out so I went to 3 different retail stores looking for another pair and they were either sold out or not stocked anymore. So I settled on a wired cloud 3. I am extremely disappointed. I can't hear ANYTHING in Apex and I can't find a fix that doesn't require me to drop additional money on software.
what headset better - HyperX Cloud III or Razer BlackShark V2 ?
I wish they didn’t discontinue the hyperx flight s😢 was my favorite headset for the past 3 years
can you revied the Cloud Alpha S?
Cant wait to see the wireless
I have been using my Cloud 2 for 6 years now and the Cloud 1 for the 3 years before that. To me it sounds like the only positives to the Cloud 3 are the comfort and the microphone quality and every other aspect I care about in a headset has been downgraded on the Cloud 3. I will be looking for an alternative or I'm just going to get another HyperX Cloud 2 now that they are still available.
Doesn’t matter if the cloud 2 is wired or wireless? Or the quality is just the same?
After comparing the Cloud III, HyperX Cloud II, and H6Pro gaming headsets, I was disappointed with the Cloud III's performance. The HyperX Cloud II had a better microphone, but the H6Pro was far superior; it's on a whole different level (it's also more expensive, I know). Considering the price of gaming headsets, similarly priced regular headphones often offer more features, such as noise cancellation, better microphones, and wired/Bluetooth options. Since you can use the detachable cable while gaming and remove it later for other activities, vastly improving mobility, I think all of this makes gaming headsets less appealing overall, and manufacturers need to catch up to these features. While not always true, in my opinion, headphones often outperform gaming headsets in similar price brackets in many ways, even beyond gaming.
aren’t the H6Pro like $80 more ? that’s not a fair comparison imo
h6pro vs dt 770 pro 80ohm which is better ? do i need DAC to use it?
Hyper x cloud 3 or Razer blackshark V2 x??
Which is better
does the hyper x cloud 3 have side-tone? because its so annyoing trying to speak without hearing myself
Best youtube thumbnail ever!
How does it compare to the black shark 2023?
If youre looking for an amazing pair of headphones for gaming, just go with the hyper X cloud 2 wired. Hands down the best ive used! You will not be disappointed.
im pretty sure the audio for you sounds bad just because of the DTS:X feature enabled in the NGENUITY software, because in ShortCircuit's review, he tests the audio both with said feature enabled AND disabled, concluding it sounds FAR better with said feature DISABLED.
hs80 wired or Cloud 3? is cloud worth extra 25 dolar?
Cloud 2 mic sounded clearer to me idk
