Pros and cons

According to our gaming headset expert

Your friends don't hear background noise thanks to the noise canceling microphone.

You can easily remove the microphone from the headset when you're not using it.
Thanks to the wired connection, you're always tied to your controller or PC.

Description

With the HyperX Cloud III Wired Gaming Headset Black/Red, you get a lighter and very sturdy headset. You connect this gaming headset via the 3.5mm audio cable or USB-A dongle. This means the headset is plug and play, so you can use it right away. With the buttons on the ear cup, you can easily control the volume and mute your microphone. In addition, you can communicate online with friends without background noise thanks to the noise suppression in the microphone. This way, your message always comes across clearly. If you often play alone or don't need a microphone, you can easily remove the headset microphone. This keeps it out of your way and you can keep gaming undisturbed.

Excellent successor to the Cloud II, but at an additional co

Beautiful design
Excellent sound quality
Excellent microphone quality
Big

I have used a HyperX Cloud II (the predecessor of this model) for years to my complete satisfaction and when it really needed to be replaced, I considered several options. I read varying reviews on the internet about the quality of this model and I therefore really doubted whether I should go for this model or another gaming headset. I even considered buying the Cloud II again as I have been extremely satisfied with it. Ultimately I went for this model and I must say that after about a week of use it became clear to me that little has actually changed compared to the predecessor. The headset feels a little lighter, but that is by far the only difference I notice in use. I am not an audiophile and I also hear from others that the microphone quality is excellent. Not so much better or worse, but something different than its predecessor.

However, I have discovered one downside that I am less happy with. I use the headset for both my gaming PC and my work laptop connected to a docking station. I use a USB switch for this, so I can easily switch my mouse, keyboard and headset between my PC and work laptop. This always worked fine with the Cloud II, but it does not work (well) with this model. I suspect that this headset uses a bit more power, so the microphone does not work, but the sound does. I still have to buy a solution for this.

I used the Cloud II for years and literally thousands of hours before it developed serious defects (where the sound on one side completely disappeared) and I expect that this will be no different with this model as the build quality is roughly the same.

If I were to look at everything together, I honestly think that you are better off in terms of price-quality if you buy a Cloud II, because the differences in quality are minimal compared to a considerable price difference (at the time of writing approximately four tens).

Perfect for FPS games

Excellent sound quality
Good for FPS games
Good microphone for a headset

The HyperX Cloud III is highly recommended for FPS games such as CS2. The surround sound of the HyperX Cloud III is also very nice to hear. What is also nice is that you can remove the microphone, which is useful in some situations. The headset microphone is also one of the better headset microphones I have heard. Finally, my tip is to download the HyperX NGENUITY software if you want to tweak the headset a bit.

Extremely mediocre.

Build quality

HyperX Cloud 2 was really much better. Better sound, better materials. Much more solidly packaged. Price quality is still reasonable. But still a shame to see how much has been saved on all facets.
