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.

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.

well to mention also the Cloud 2 that are displayed seem to be the "OLD" versions of the headset which are an easy S+ tier compared to the new ones, you can notice it by looking at the outside of the earcup where the "OLD" ones have that ruberry matt coating and that aluminium plate in the middle where the "NEW" Cloud 2's have a basic plastic earcups with the plastic plate in the middle. P.s the Cloud 2's have been severily downgraded after HyperX sold out to HP , their new headset has very bad and overly bassy sound , their earcups and the headband cussions are also downgraded so if you are interested in getting the Cloud 2' i would suggest you to consider the Alpha's or the Cloud 3's.

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.

Eh I don’t agree with automatically recommending the Cloud 2 to everyone over the Cloud 3 in both situations just because you personally don’t care for the C3’s sound-signature. Should’ve said something like “if you prefer neutral tuning then go for the C3, and if you prefer a relatively more V-shape tuning then go for the C2”, especially since apparently both the comfort and mic are better on the C3 and resolution being equal on both. Also the C2 isn’t 100% compatible on Xbox so between the two Xbox users should go for the C3.

Small heads up to people who produce music/do anything where you need precise and accurate audio in the headset: I own cloud 2 and just purchased cloud 3, if you want clear and precise audio, cloud 3s are what you need. cloud 2 sound better, but the audio is 'altered', meaning you won't get a true read on your audio if you produce music. i just swapped between the 2 several times, granted i just got them today (had wireless for a day, returned them and got wired cloud 3s), but the sound is definitely more accurate. TL;DR : Cloud 2 sounds more satisfying, but Cloud 3 is more accurate (could be relevant for things like fps games where you wanna hear where the enemies are).

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!

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

@mohdalasfar1361 i bought the cloud 3 and returned it for the wired Alpha. Alpha for me sounds way better especially for single players games. 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.

I've had a wired Cloud II for about 3/4 years. I'm wanting to go wireless: would I go with cloud III, cloud II or cloud II core? I saw a lot of people saying that this even the core is better than this cloud III. FPS game… remembering that the cloud iii has dropped in price and is almost the same

I've been using Cloud 2 for 7 years now. I received the Cloud 3 and sent it back immediately the next day. The sound is a joke compared to the Cloud 2, especially in FPS games Pubg and Hunt Showdown. The Cloud 2 offers excellent perception and location of footsteps and makes the sound so clear! The cloud 3 literally sounds like it's coming out of a tin can when you shoot and it's way too loud, at the same time the ambient noise is way too quiet and the location and spatial perception of footsteps etc. is terribly bad!!! I'm going to buy a new Cloud 2 Headset

Are the sides of the cloud III cans soft touch? I hated when my cloud II got all sticky and melted. I don't like that pop sound when the mic is muted/unmuted. I love how you placed timestamps to rewatch that special portion of the video. Great review. I'm still on the fence on positional audio as some reviewers say this is one of the best and then some others say its not good and the cloud II was better.
