Model overview based on user reviews
The HyperX Cloud III headphones are a solid choice for gamers, offering high-quality sound and a detachable microphone. Users appreciate the clarity and volume of the sound, making it suitable for gaming and communication on platforms like Discord. The headphones come with a variety of cables and adapters, allowing for versatile connectivity options including USB-C, USB-A, and 3.5mm. The design is simple yet durable, featuring high-quality aluminum cups and ear cushions. However, some users note that the microphone is very quiet, requiring loud speaking to be effective, and the music lacks bass. Despite these minor drawbacks, the headset is comfortable, lightweight, and does not cause headaches, making it a good investment for its price.
Pros
Cons
Very quiet microphone, it has very low sensitivity, you need to speak very loudly, almost shouting, for the microphone to pick up your voice, even the equalizer didn't change the situation. Normal sound Very quiet microphone  Dima: use HyperX Cloud III less than month |
For the money, this is a really good headset. I took it mainly for games and Discord, so the microphone was also very important. Simple and strict design, high-quality aluminum cups and ear cushions, the arc can be twisted and not broken (so bending them through the fused roller in CS will not work, even if I wanted to, I checked). I read that this type of mount imitates some kind of bone in the hand, but I forgot the details. Supports various marketing tricks like 7D sound and the like. The microphone itself is very cool, you can easily record podcasts or stream with them. The sound in games is also very good, there are no problems with positioning, but the music lacks bass. They can be connected via USB-C, USB-A, and 3.5mm. This is cool because you get both a USB-A to USB-C adapter and a 3.5mm to USB-A cable, which I took to my car. They don't give me a headache, they're pretty light, and the material is durable. Sound quality Microphone A bunch of cables and adapters Detachable microphone Not the best, but decent software Clarity and volume Would like more lows Don't mute the microphone with the button when talking to someone, it's like driving a nail into the ear of the person you're talking to.  Maksim Pasichnik: use HyperX Cloud III few months |

Popular questions
How does the microphone on the HyperX Cloud III work?
The voice sounds clear and intelligible, and the built-in noise cancellation effectively filters out noise from PC fans, but the microphone itself is rather quiet. Users note that the sensitivity has to be turned up to maximum, and pressing the physical mute button sends a noticeable click into the chat.Source:Expert reviewsUser Reviews
How do they sound in games and music?
For shooters and story-driven games, the sound is tuned excellently: positioning is precise, and footsteps and effects are easy to pick out thanks to the 53 mm drivers. For discerning music listening, detail may be lacking—the soundstage is somewhat narrow, and the upper register can sometimes sound harsh.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviewsUser Reviews
Is the headset comfortable to wear for hours?
Yes, the fit is very comfortable even during long gaming sessions. The soft memory foam faux-leather ear cushions do not put pressure on the ears or interfere with glasses, while the moderate clamping force securely keeps the headphones on your head despite their weight of around 320 grams.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviewsUser Reviews
What devices can HyperX Cloud III be connected to?
The headset is compatible with virtually any source thanks to its 3.5 mm cable, USB-C adapter, and included USB-A adapter. PCs, PlayStation 4/5, and Nintendo Switch support both analog and USB connections, while Xbox consoles connect via the 3.5 mm jack on the controller.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
How reliable is the construction?
The construction is sturdy and ready for active use: the headband is made of steel, while the earcups are attached to aluminum yokes. The headband withstands twisting well without deforming, and the main cable is protected by a dense fabric braid.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviewsUser Reviews
