Tech Review – HyperX Cloud III wireless headphones

The HyperX Cloud III wireless headphones are a much improved and welcome update to their previous model and look the part whilst keeping it clean and simple.

The build quality is excellent here with a robust finish and fit and look premium they are comfortable to wear for hours on end and do not sweat the ears and this is after testing on gaming and using for general music which you can do with these and they do not sound bad either on that front.

 

The cups are a soft leatherette finish as is the headband one one cup you have a volume wheel and the other is where all the other action happens with a port for the mic a USB-C port for charging and software updates the power key and a mic mute/monitoring button and all buttons tactile. The mic is is excellent this time around but could have been slightly longer however the sound is excellent and you then have the software to get your personal tailored sound, these are not on the bassy side so if you like bass perhaps a miss here but also remember you can customize. Sound is subjective and everyone’s ears different.

When gaming these capture sounds you may miss with other gaming headphones like footsteps and have a great soundstage overall and giving you a more immersive feeling compared to other gaming headsets out there. Vocals are good and so is dialogs with highs and lows well balanced overall.

Overall these are decent and well priced given I do not game that much I have reviewed many gaming headsets and earbuds and these did a good job overall and can be used for general music too and sound good so a bargain to be had if you want to use for both gaming and general music.
