      From my experience, "Audiophiles" have no idea what good sound is.
      I've bought a pair of "Focal Elegia" because many people in the "audiophile subreddit" recommended them to me. They were the weirdest, most shitty sounding headphone I've ever used. I would rather use a 50$ no name headset. And be aware the headphone originally costed 800$ and I bought it for 400$.
      So yep, idk whatever those "Audiophiles" are smoking.
      After that experience, I only trust "Audio nerds" like Techne. He actually knows what he is talking about compared to all the "audiophiles".

    Thanks for the honestly, I will stick to my OG CloudXs, too many channels just jump onto the "best 99$ headset" bandwagon.
    When I saw these I thought these looked okay but I wasn't blown away...no detachable cable, no swivel. Not that much to make me upgrade. Especially at the higher price. Especially since the CloudX is just the Cloud 2 with an inline volume and mic mute, so there REALLY isn't anything to upgrade for.

    I bought these a week ago. They are good. And mic is very good. Prior to this i was using vr3000 earbuds. On this, due to closed back nature and bigger drivers, I can definitely hear a bit more of game sounds without needing to crank the volume up like I used to on my vr3000.
    The clamping force does start to create fatigue if worn more than 3-4 hours at a stretch. Maybe it'll get better with time. Maybe you will not get fatigue if you have flatter ears that are more flush with your head. Overall, will still recommend as good purchase.

    Thanks for your review. My wife and I both have the Cloud II, but the cushion on the top is crumbling and therefore we will sooner or later need a replacement. At least in the past for some parts of the head set there was a replacement part, but I think not for this cushion at the frame (bracket). 😒
    Now I saw that there's a new HyperX Cloud III. First things I've recognized is: Cool looking HyperX at the frame is gone, cool looking red string is gone. How about 7.1 sound simulation? Haven't seen anything regarding this! And the brushed aluminium, where is it gone?
    So it looks like the Cloud III has a microphone which is a lot better, it finally has a light showing if the Micro is active or muted. Both are must haves!
    But at the end, if it hasn't the cool look anymore and the sound quality decreased - and I think I understood your point here exactly - then what does it help?
    We like the sound of the HyperX headsets because they sound like they should be, not having extreme bass, which I dislike, and the hights are fine. 😁
    The Cloud III costs at least 116 Euro in germany, Cloud II half the price, 64 Euro, sometimes less.
    Shame on HP! In my company they exchanged the Lenovo notebooks with HP. The HPs look good, made of aluminum. The display is a lot better. The battery last a much longer time. The AMD CPU is great. So the technical aspects are perfect. BUT: The touchpad is not reacting in the upper left and right corner (I've tested that with at least 3 devices!). Where you hold your hand when you use the touchpad, there's a sharp edge. The keyboard is OK, but the one from Lenovo was much better. I do have trouble with my Password Manager. Typically CTRL+F12 should insert the password, but HP made some tweaks with the F-keys and this seems to conflict. The INSert key I had been searching forever in the beginning. They are there at 3 places, but not where you expect them and they behave a bit strange. These are things that could easily be improved. But looks like HP doesn't care. ☹
    And I think with the HyperX it's the same. It moved from Kingston to Lenovo and with this it looks like the HyperX headsets are not as good anymore as they had been.

I'm looking for a replacement of the cushion on the microphone, but worst case you can just replace this part. So with all the replacements it will fit for some more years.
      If I would buy the HyperX Cloud II from HP again? Good question! Probably not. There are a lot of alternatives, so I would read some tests and then make up my mind. Problem is, that you can not test the sound in a shop. I like to hear the high tones and I don't like too much bass. But how can I test this? I can only trust on reviews.

      Will do. I did buy my friend a pair of Cloud II's recently and they have been changed since HP took over. The construction is all plastic and the sound card is different. Compared to the original Kingston ones they sounded a little flat. The bass was reduced, dialogue sounded slightly echo-y and the soundstage sounded like it was wider but I could hear like a wind effect as best as I could describe it.
      I'd be able to put up with them if I'd never heard the sound of the Kingston ones but they are definitely superior. I honestly do expect something similar with the Cloud III.

      Yeah. I compared the Cloud II to the original Kingston model and the HP model. The build quality is worse. It doesn't feel fragile it just feels cheap. And the sound is different. There's no real 'oomph' to them. Just a flat all round sound. It wasn't as lively or punch as the original. Dialogue sounded slightly echo-y. Thing is I'm fussy with sound but with the two I noticed a difference. They're not unbearable but if you've got or had the Kingston they feel like a downgrade.

    Could it be that your Cloud 2 pair is so used that the drivers are more burned in, making them sound ever so slightly more exciting? I mean, those Cloud 3s are straight from the factory, so the drivers haven't really been used much. Usually, it doesn't matter, but on some pairs, it can matter.

    Bought them on july 16th (at the time of writing this it is july 21st), they were my first ever hyperx product and i loved them. I do agree the sound is "boring" or "flat" compared to at least my astro a20s or razer kraken ultimate, but felt great and the sound wasn't ear piercing when loud noises happend (looking at the krakens...). I had to return them yesterday due to downloading a driver update from their software that gutted my game audio, i tried 3 different headsets and it was my cloud 3s. Even reinstalling the drivers didnt help. Not sure if anyone else ran into this issue but id avoid downloading the hyperx ngenuity software on pc if your using cloud 3s. Definitely looking forward to the cloud 2s that i ordered from amazon as the replacement tho!

    • @Hypno_BPM
      @Hypno_BPM 11 місяців тому

      i feel like hyperx is making their headsets specifically for esports/fps games so the sound is going to sound neutral so you don’t destroy your ears for long gaming sessions. and a flat neutral sound is probably better for being able to tell where opponents are since bass won’t get in the way

Imo the cloud 3 sound was designed for competitive FPS games and i recommend it for gamers that mainly play online FPS games. the cloud 3 lets everything sound clear but it has no bass at all. for competitive shooters though you don’t need bass but for everything else i think it’s not good.
