HyperXCloud III Wireless – Gaming Headset for PC, PS5, PS4, up to 120-hour Battery, 2.4GHz Wireless, DTS Spatial Audio, 53mm Angled Drivers, Memory Foam, Durable Frame, 10mm Microphone, Black

So....I think I have a small head. And every gaming headset I've owned has been too big, even on the smallest setting. Whenever I'd bend forward or lean back, they'd fall. I searched the internet forever looking at recommendations for a good gaming headset for someone with a smaller head and I saw these mentioned a few times so I got them and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! They do slip a little sometimes (I will just blame that on the smallness of my head.) but they fit snugger than any headset I've tried so far! I also LOVE that they have a notification light that the mic is muted and a button to mute instead of a flip-up thing. Those were my only requirements. 1. Snug 2. Mute indication light 3. Mute button instead of flipping up the mic and these had all 3 so they are the perfect!!!

Little is known about our hero. No legends or renown tales. Just a wanderer in the night. The dark traveler.HyperX, I don’t know what their motto is, but it should be….”HyperX, it just flippin works.”Do I need to download software? “Nah dude.”What about drivers? “Nah internally controlled.”What about headset battery? How often do you need to charge it? “Dude maybe never, I have had mine 2 weeks now and it’s still at 70%.”What about LEDs? “I hope you like red.”This is the conversation I had with my brother in regards to HyperX headsets. I was glad to see the pink and white. Although not wireless it’s just plug and play. Tired of driver, software and firmware? Get HyperX you won’t regret it.

The media could not be loaded. For the last few years, I've been rocking a cheap but decent gaming headphones that are wired with an audio jack and USB to power up the lighting effects. (90% of the time, I never bother to plug in that part of the cable. My biggest issue with my old headphones was the metal tension band that connects to each earphone. Anything that barely touched that metal and the sound was amplified 20x louder into my ears. The amount of times I snagged my all metal watch band against it would be a deafening reminder.So I'm in the process of redoing my gaming set up and one issue I have is the tangled mess of cables. I have a VR headset wired to my pc, wired Xbox controller, wired keyboard, wired HOTAS flight stick and throttle and a USB hub that had 4 type c cables and a micro USB cable for charging battery's and devices.When I opened the box I immediately put them on to test fit and WOW! The way the earohones cups and cradles my ears with the soft plushy foam cushions and the ambient sounds dropped to soft muffled hums. I wear glasses and my old set would dig the arms of my glasses against my ears and head and it would ache. Once I fell asleep accidentally and top of my right ear developed a bleeding sore.It's hard to explain it but these have a premium feel and the build quality is excellent. Comparing them both in each hand that the hyper x are heavier than my old pair but feels like a light fluffy cloud hugging my head. I'm using the USB dongle connection for the lowest latency wireless option and the charge has lasted me the weekend. The mic quality is so much better that all my online friends were blown away on the night and day difference of sound quality. Yesterday I was on a payphone and now it's like I'm in the same room. You get a type c to type c cable and a soft satiny draw string travel/storage pouch. On the left ear is the mic l, type c connecttion and behind that is both power and mute buttons. On the right ear is a scrolling volume wheel. It doesn't regulate the volume on the head set. It's synced to the Media volume control on my PC. The wheel has a resistance to it that's gives it a very smooth rotation to the touch.Please excuse the mess in the background, at the time of making this video, I was building a gaming desk and have already removed the wires keyboard, headphones and mouse from the tangled rats nest of cables .

EDIT: i went through my words and my review and i said to myself "nah, this can't be right" then i went to 2 configurations (screenshots attached): 1. the dolby atmos app where you can see specifically how i eq'd for most app's, music and movies and 2. the ngnuity app that also have its own eq... unfortunately both have to be turned on in order to squeeze the full potential of the headphone, BUT in order to avoid the "box-feeling" sound (or at least eliminate it 85%), do not turn on the virtual surround in any app and maintain the eq the same as me.i used a few spotify tracks to properly eq according to several frequencies that may help you find the correct eq through the days but remember: there's a period of burn-in for headphones/earphones, it varies depends on the diaphragms and its own construction, this is not in our control, however, we can develop it by using it on a daily basis... with high-end headphones/earphones this is a must so you can get the best sound in time... this is the case for all headsets, but mid-ends may not see the same effect as high-end headsets...here are the spotify tracks i used to eq:- in my place - coldplay- funk that - nickodemus, the illustrious black- if anyone cared - nickelback (i know, but its eq it's quite helpful)- show me love - robin s- gangsta's paradise - coolio, l.v.- i get lonely (tnt remix edit) - janet jackson, blackstreet, teddy rileyi didn't post any pictures of the device since you can find it from other users that have more experience on that field than i am, but regarding this nitpicky audio thing, here i am. i really hope it helps you to make an informed decision.i still stand by my original review but, with the corrections mentioned above regarding sound :D have a great day!ORIGINAL REVIEW:Well... i have a love-hate relationship with this headphone for the following reasons:Design (which is actually ok, i'll give them that, with small caveats): i'm aware that there are people who are more... visually-appealed (so to speak) to stuff and this may not be the one, but functionally it's good! Everything is where it should be, however! (yes, oh dear!) the power button is next to the mute button on the left side, WHY?! who was so against the company that made this decision that went through the whole pipeline without even notice the final product until it hit the shelves?Construction (LOVE IT! PERIOD!): The construction is actually very sturdy and solid, love it from every angle, the earcups swivels a little bit so you can accommodate them to your head or when you put the headsets on your neck stays naturally "at ease", you know?... from this perspective, the construction is not what i expected (i actually expected a cheaper feeling, but it feels a more premium device to be perfectly honest!). It kinda works for long periods of time if you are a regular human being who doesn't sweat so much like me, otherwise, have AC on your room for longer than half an hour of listening.Sound (now this i loathe, kinda... here's where the love-hate conflict is): well... there are certain applications that really does sound good, others really flat, others really hollow and others without bass but in general, the issue is in the lack of middle and mid-lo's, which makes it sound almost like a box, but with too much high and mid-hi's. HOWEVER, it's perfectly balanceable with the Dolby Atmos App in Windows 10/11, but i'm not going to EQ everything i do every time in my computer, who does that these days? i just want something that it's functional and sounds good for long periods of time! is that too much to ask? (well yeah, for less than 100 bucks yeah... i can certify that.... these audiophile ears are way too nitpicky these days).Battery: well this is a surprise to be honest, i wasn't expecting it to last THAT long... i do 12 hour listening sessions and it lasts a lot... i don't count much but in a week maybe 2 times in a week, could be fair?... i don't know for sure cos i really lose the track of time when i get into the headphones... but if you want a headphone that lasts its battery a lot, well here you have it... i don't even notice it during the week (this means a lot to me! don't think that i take for granted what the company gives us with this headphone) until the headset starts a gentle beep to let you know that it's below 25% i think... i don't even remember that much because by the time i start hearing the beep i already take out the headset and put it to charge.Charging time: well i wouldn't know, maybe an hour or 2?... i have several headphones that helps the way, so i wouldn't notice how many hours it takes, the only thing that i notice is that it charges surprisingly fast (well, also time flies, don't take my word for it tho). If you go to bed time and you get up to go to the bathroom at 2 am, it will be charged by then... that's a certainty... YOU CAN use it while it charges, it won't heat the battery within (unlike many many headsets out there... if your current headset heats during charge while on your head and listening, stop using it immediately!).Microphone: It sounds... good? i think?... people hears me loud and clear on discord, which is the whole point of it (although discord have its own issues, so, test it locally within your computer and do not trust discord!) it's a very sensitive server that: it doesn't wanna recognize devices (or if it does, it doesn't work), if the devices works, then there's stuttering, cut audios, you name it, you know all these stuff like i do as well, you know the struggle!... If you purchase this product then FIRST test it on your computer, if it works well there then trust me, it's your application, not your microphone!Oh i almost forgot about the headband! i'm a bald guy so i kinda can see the band on my head when i take out my headphones... i personally love it because then people "notices that i work too much and too hard" and i'm like "yeah right! XD"... this is a paramount wisdom that i will give you that this headset have that almost no other headset have: if you press it too hard to your head it will stay with a similar pressure but at a comfortable level, but don't complain later about that you get a soar ear/face or a band mark on top of your head because it will make you hurt if you press it too hard, let it sit on you and get use to it.The earcup simil leather is a special case, it's hot but at the same time it's not... it kinda wants to accommodate to you but it kinda doesn't... i don't know "how to feel about this" (which i honestly at this point i don't care), but some people may worry or feel uncomfortable about it, so i'll leave it here just in case.. maybe with a few more hundreds of "burn-in hours" may found the proper wear for my face? We don't know... only time will tell... i don't think about it when i put it, i just think like "oh my god what a bad sound, but it does sounds good tho"If you read this, it means that you're seriously considering to purchase this product... if you don't honestly mind the kinda-hollow sound that some apps may have (you may not notice) and you're looking for something that potentially could last you a few years and spare the mistreated wallet, then go for it, you won't regret the purchase, that's a guarantee and i'm saying this because that's exactly the reason that i bought it and probably the reason you will as well, including a very valid reason: it's functional without needing to baby the product! (i know! right?! finally!)BUT i you are looking for a high-end sound with neutral balance or warm sound with balance mids, lo's and hi's, for below 99 dollars (before taxes), trust me, there's no such device and this product DEFINETLY is not for you, look elsewhere without even hesitation... ALL devices that you're looking for worth from 399 and above (maybe 299 but that's a stretch these days).
