   Buy this. Simple, easy to use functions. Super premium feel, can literally wear these all day (and have). Sizing fits perfect for my larger sized head with a little room to spare. Battery life is insane, have gone 2-3 days of all day use (and I mean all day) and not drop below 50%. Sounds quality is gaming perfection, super clear mids/highs without cracking or sounding “tinny”, bass is just right without going over the top and drowning out more subtle sounds like footsteps, etc. And mic quality is crystal clear (according to others) though you do have to have it pretty close to your mouth to pick up (trivial issue). I’ve tried a few budget options and there’s always something either missing or lacking. This checks all the boxes and well worth the extra cost. For reference: I’m using on PS5 for gaming (FPS- like COD, and RPG) and it all sounds great.

   I was looking for a new wireless headset and knew Hyper X had a decent options. I was interested in the Cloud 3 Wireless, however I was not ready to pay full price. I found an open box option in very good condition that was listen half price so I took a chance. Needless to say, this item was in perfect condition and the sounds quality is amazing as well as the in-build microphone quality as well. The headset was really easy to connect to my PC and the fit is great as I can wear for hours while gaming due to the comfortable memory foam ear pads. Fantastic option for a premium wireless headset.

   EDIT: i went through my words and my review and i said to myself “nah, this can’t be right” then i went to 2 configurations (screenshots attached): 1. the dolby atmos app where you can see specifically how i eq’d for most app’s, music and movies and 2. the ngnuity app that also have its own eq… unfortunately both have to be turned on in order to squeeze the full potential of the headphone, BUT in order to avoid the “box-feeling” sound (or at least eliminate it 85%), do not turn on the virtual surround in any app and maintain the eq the same as me.i used a few spotify tracks to properly eq according to several frequencies that may help you find the correct eq through the days but remember: there’s a period of burn-in for headphones/earphones, it varies depends on the diaphragms and its own construction, this is not in our control, however, we can develop it by using it on a daily basis… with high-end headphones/earphones this is a must so you can get the best sound in time… this is the case for all headsets, but mid-ends may not see the same effect as high-end headsets…here are the spotify tracks i used to eq:- in my place – coldplay- funk that – nickodemus, the illustrious black- if anyone cared – nickelback (i know, but its eq it’s quite helpful)- show me love – robin s- gangsta’s paradise – coolio, l.v.- i get lonely (tnt remix edit) – janet jackson, blackstreet, teddy rileyi didn’t post any pictures of the device since you can find it from other users that have more experience on that field than i am, but regarding this nitpicky audio thing, here i am. i really hope it helps you to make an informed decision.i still stand by my original review but, with the corrections mentioned above regarding sound 😀 have a great day!ORIGINAL REVIEW:Well… i have a love-hate relationship with this headphone for the following reasons:Design (which is actually ok, i’ll give them that, with small caveats): i’m aware that there are people who are more… visually-appealed (so to speak) to stuff and this may not be the one, but functionally it’s good! Everything is where it should be, however! (yes, oh dear!) the power button is next to the mute button on the left side, WHY?! who was so against the company that made this decision that went through the whole pipeline without even notice the final product until it hit the shelves?Construction (LOVE IT! PERIOD!): The construction is actually very sturdy and solid, love it from every angle, the earcups swivels a little bit so you can accommodate them to your head or when you put the headsets on your neck stays naturally “at ease”, you know?… from this perspective, the construction is not what i expected (i actually expected a cheaper feeling, but it feels a more premium device to be perfectly honest!). It kinda works for long periods of time if you are a regular human being who doesn’t sweat so much like me, otherwise, have AC on your room for longer than half an hour of listening.Sound (now this i loathe, kinda… here’s where the love-hate conflict is): well… there are certain applications that really does sound good, others really flat, others really hollow and others without bass but in general, the issue is in the lack of middle and mid-lo’s, which makes it sound almost like a box, but with too much high and mid-hi’s. HOWEVER, it’s perfectly balanceable with the Dolby Atmos App in Windows 10/11, but i’m not going to EQ everything i do every time in my computer, who does that these days? i just want something that it’s functional and sounds good for long periods of time! is that too much to ask? (well yeah, for less than 100 bucks yeah… i can certify that…. these audiophile ears are way too nitpicky these days).Battery: well this is a surprise to be honest, i wasn’t expecting it to last THAT long… i do 12 hour listening sessions and it lasts a lot… i don’t count much but in a week maybe 2 times in a week, could be fair?… i don’t know for sure cos i really lose the track of time when i get into the headphones… but if you want a headphone that lasts its battery a lot, well here you have it… i don’t even notice it during the week (this means a lot to me! don’t think that i take for granted what the company gives us with this headphone) until the headset starts a gentle beep to let you know that it’s below 25% i think… i don’t even remember that much because by the time i start hearing the beep i already take out the headset and put it to charge.Charging time: well i wouldn’t know, maybe an hour or 2?… i have several headphones that helps the way, so i wouldn’t notice how many hours it takes, the only thing that i notice is that it charges surprisingly fast (well, also time flies, don’t take my word for it tho). If you go to bed time and you get up to go to the bathroom at 2 am, it will be charged by then… that’s a certainty… YOU CAN use it while it charges, it won’t heat the battery within (unlike many many headsets out there… if your current headset heats during charge while on your head and listening, stop using it immediately!).Microphone: It sounds… good? i think?… people hears me loud and clear on discord, which is the whole point of it (although discord have its own issues, so, test it locally within your computer and do not trust discord!) it’s a very sensitive server that: it doesn’t wanna recognize devices (or if it does, it doesn’t work), if the devices works, then there’s stuttering, cut audios, you name it, you know all these stuff like i do as well, you know the struggle!… If you purchase this product then FIRST test it on your computer, if it works well there then trust me, it’s your application, not your microphone!Oh i almost forgot about the headband! i’m a bald guy so i kinda can see the band on my head when i take out my headphones… i personally love it because then people “notices that i work too much and too hard” and i’m like “yeah right! XD”… this is a paramount wisdom that i will give you that this headset have that almost no other headset have: if you press it too hard to your head it will stay with a similar pressure but at a comfortable level, but don’t complain later about that you get a soar ear/face or a band mark on top of your head because it will make you hurt if you press it too hard, let it sit on you and get use to it.The earcup simil leather is a special case, it’s hot but at the same time it’s not… it kinda wants to accommodate to you but it kinda doesn’t… i don’t know “how to feel about this” (which i honestly at this point i don’t care), but some people may worry or feel uncomfortable about it, so i’ll leave it here just in case.. maybe with a few more hundreds of “burn-in hours” may found the proper wear for my face? We don’t know… only time will tell… i don’t think about it when i put it, i just think like “oh my god what a bad sound, but it does sounds good tho”If you read this, it means that you’re seriously considering to purchase this product… if you don’t honestly mind the kinda-hollow sound that some apps may have (you may not notice) and you’re looking for something that potentially could last you a few years and spare the mistreated wallet, then go for it, you won’t regret the purchase, that’s a guarantee and i’m saying this because that’s exactly the reason that i bought it and probably the reason you will as well, including a very valid reason: it’s functional without needing to baby the product! (i know! right?! finally!)BUT i you are looking for a high-end sound with neutral balance or warm sound with balance mids, lo’s and hi’s, for below 99 dollars (before taxes), trust me, there’s no such device and this product DEFINETLY is not for you, look elsewhere without even hesitation… ALL devices that you’re looking for worth from 399 and above (maybe 299 but that’s a stretch these days).

   The wireless headset is great for gaming as well as call center remote work. The microphone is very good and had been great for capturing my voice since I work with the elderly and sometimes they are hard of hearing.To control the sound it uses a wheel on he back of the headset(right side).Keep this headset on an air conditioned environment as the material tends to strip away bit by bit if exposed to sun/warm days.When that happens just get hobby knife or what they call an x-acto knife and peel carefully the material to reveal the fabric which I find to be much better than this material.Noise cancellation is great as it blocks noises up to a level, obviously it wont block heavy machinery or a loud motor cycle sounds. it comes with a USB C cable and the wireless receiver that comes with an adapter of USB 2.0 and USB-C. The I don’t use the USB-C directly because of how small it is and it tends to sag on both USB types but I prefer the USB2.0 because it is not small as USB-C and gives more of an area of to resist the faster sagging of the USB, For this make sure to position it right where you are plugging it in so it does not sag.The batter on this thing lasts 120hrs it only read in 10% intervals so don’t be scared if you charge it to 100% and within minutes you hear 90%. Would like an option to toggle the lady that speaks(which also was in the cloud 2 wireless) on the headset that gives you info(some friends did not like the headset), I do not mind her but the option to have her removed or changed would be nice.The bass feels flat with the Ngenuity software of the headset that you have to download to update the headset drivers.Compared to the Anker Q10’s bass this one falls flat and to remedy that an equalizer software is necessary. It has a removable microphone attachment, which I don’t recommend removing constantly as sometimes the connection in the connector could be not completely making contact inside the headset and the mute red button won’t be able to work or work correctly.It’s downside is that since it is not wired, you don’t have that 7.1 sound card that the cloud 2 had, it uses DTS:X instead.Hope this review helps for those who are searching for a wireless option.

   Excellent product!!!
   This is my first pair of HyperX I had no idea it is a sleek, well-built, and great-sounding wireless headset. It offers low-latency wireless performance via a USB dongle and features the same sturdy and comfortable design as its wired counterpart,The manufacturer advertises a continuous battery life of 120 hours, which is impressive to the competition. I am very happy with this purchase. I would buy it again!!!!

   Amazing!
   As a regular CS2 player, I’m always on the lookout for gear that gives me a competitive edge, and the HyperX Cloud III Wireless headset delivers in more ways than one. Right out of the box, the build quality feels premium, with a sleek black-and-red design and a durable yet lightweight frame. After several hours of gameplay, I can confidently say this headset is a solid choice for FPS enthusiasts.### Sound QualityThe 53mm angled drivers make a noticeable difference in CS2, where sound positioning is critical. Footstep audio is crisp and easy to pinpoint, giving me a clear advantage in clutch moments. The bass is deep enough to make gunfire and explosions immersive but not so overpowering that it drowns out the mids and highs. The balanced sound profile is perfect for competitive gaming, where every detail counts.### ComfortThe memory foam ear cushions are an absolute game-changer. Even during marathon CS2 sessions, the headset stays comfortable with no pressure or fatigue. The adjustable headband also ensures a snug fit without being too tight, which is a huge plus for long play sessions.### MicrophoneThe 10mm detachable microphone is another highlight. My teammates have commented on how clear my callouts are, with no distortion or background noise. The mic’s quality makes it perfect for tactical communication, which is crucial in CS2 matches.### Battery and ConnectivityThe 120-hour battery life is no joke. I’ve gone several days of heavy use without needing to charge, and the 2.4GHz wireless connection is flawless—no noticeable latency or dropouts, which is essential in a fast-paced game like CS2. The range is also impressive; I can grab a drink from the kitchen without losing the connection.### DrawbacksIf I had to nitpick, the headset’s sound signature might not appeal to audiophiles who prefer a more neutral profile for music, but that’s not its primary purpose. Additionally, while the wireless connection is solid, I wish there was a wired option as a backup, just in case.### VerdictFor CS2 players, the HyperX Cloud III Wireless checks all the boxes: excellent sound positioning, all-day comfort, reliable connectivity, and an outstanding microphone. It’s a headset built with competitive gamers in mind, and it shows. While it might not replace a studio headset for music, it excels at what it’s designed to do—give you the edge in your favorite games.

   Comfortable, sturdy, affordable. Great noise cancelling. Sounds fine after EQ
   Sounds worse than its predecessor out of the box in my opinion, but works fine after playing with my EQ. Active noise cancelling built into the mic is fantastic. Doesn’t cause discomfort whilst wearing glasses. Higher build quality than Logitech and Corsair products of similar price that I have owned.

   Great Quality
   I bought these to replace my old gaming headset. The sound quality is amazing, mic is crystal clear and they are extremely comfortable! If you aren’t set on getting the white, the black cloud 3s are cheaper and the same quality. I paid the pink tax because I wanted headphones that match my setup. Worth it for me personally.

    Erg goede koptelefoon
    Ik had een tweedehands model gekocht. Ondanks dat ie niet nieuw is is er niets op aan te merken.Het geluid is scherp en goed regelbaar, de accu gaat erg lang mee, en de kappen zitten vrij comfortabel, zelfs voor iemand met grote oren zoals ik. Wat mij betreft is het iedere euro waard geweest.Er is een ding op het geheel aan te merken: de ontvanger- een usb stickje dat aanvoelt alsof deze met heel weinig kracht te breken is. Wees er dus op bedacht dat je daar voorzichtig mee moet zijn, maar als je daarmee kan leven heb je aan dit model een goede.
