Been using the HyperX Cloud III Wireless for about a year now, after upgrading from a Cloud II wireless for about 10. They are very, VERY durable and they sound good. Not the best but for the price you won't buy another pair for at least a few years.
[...] If wired to use at your computer, the one I use is from HyperX Cloud iii. It's pretty solid and when my last pair died in 2024 I got a replacement and they're still going strong! [...] Worth it.
I been using a HyperX Cloud III headset for about a year now. It's a decent wired gaming headset and the price is reasonable.
I have been using the HyperX Cloud III for year and many friend around are using it too because I kept recommanding it. It’s light on the head !
I got a HyperX Cloud III about 4 years ago and they're still pretty good.
a few months ago i bought a set of hyperx cloud III s headphones and i've been very happy with them
[...] I purchased a HyperX Cloud III headset on recommendation. While it hasn't bricked, apparently a month or so prior to now HP bricked all of those headphones for a month with no update.
I have HyperX Cloud III gaming headphones for my PC and i can wear them nearly all day without pain from my glasses I recently got some raycon Everyday to use with my phone and it seems to do well, but they havent been used all day yet. but were very comfortable for some 4hr flights!
It's a little pricey but I'm getting good use out of the HyperX Cloud III s. Comfy for the small headed, attached mic is good if you need it, and it can actually go a week without being charged. I got mine on sale for just under a hundy and it feels worth it uk.hyperx.com/products/hyp...
I have not charged my headphones since not this past Monday, but the Monday before. (Not a sponsor) but the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless headphones are pretty amazing. Sound awesome too and my ears haven't gotten sweaty at ALL with hours of use.
[...] I bought a HYPERX Cloud III, but I get this faint ringing noise in my right ear. It seems to be related to the mic, as when I'm in a menu that accesses the mic (audio settings, recording in Audacity), it DOESN'T ring. Drivers are up to date, disabling the mic/headset doesn't work.
I bought a pair of HyperX Cloud III, and the damn microphone won't work. The audio in works, the mic is plugged in and unmuted, Windows recognizes it's there, programs and apps say it's there, but no sound when I talk. I'm about to [redacted], yall
I'm by no means an audiophile/expert, but I needed a new one, so I got a HyperX Cloud III Came adapters, so it can use 3,5mm jack (default), USB-C and USB-A. I'm happy with it so far! Feels light compared to my old squeaky logitech headset.
