Damn you're the only reviewer that made the microphone sound quite decent. I was on the edge of ordering it but setting it to 32kHz really improved it a lot! Great video, well done.
Thanks for pointing out that the default sample rate of the mic is lower than the headset can deliver! Definitely a noticeable improvement when switching from 16kHz to 32kHz.
you're very welcome! happy to report I still use this headset daily at work for 3-4hrs a day and have only had to charge it once in 2weeks and it wasn't even flat :)
It's incredible how many different YT reviews, website reviews, and so on that do not mention the mic setting thing. The only ones Ive seen mention it are you, some site I forget, and a random reddit reply, lol. Anyways, good work on the review, appreciate it.
If you changed the settings of the microphone on the pc will it work the same way on ps5? I’m wondering if the headset can save a preset like that, or if it’s only gonna be possible as long as it is connected to pc Great video btw, keep it up
I think the company troll u bit with the microphone as the 16000 Hz sounds alot like the older microphone from Cloud II but they have an option for 32000 for clearer quality. lol But as they're sort of new they added the upgraded feature to it.
I have blackshark v2 and its shit in valorant, to hear the surroundings. It might be good in other games. Go for hyperx man, I have regretted all logitech and razer headsets until now I am going for the hyperx, it is the best headset you will ever need! I had hyperx alpha before, time to get this.
Avoid razer blackshark v2 2023. People everywhere complain about “white noise” which is terribly annoying when you can't hear anything in the headphones, whether it's from TH-cam or a game. Some people have this noise at such a level that they can't stand it and get a headache, and still others, by some miracle, level the noise to such a level that you can still somehow use these headphones “comfortably”. I've been reading reddit as well as the razer forum for a few days now and none of the users as well as Razer itself have given a solution to this noise. Razer is only able to give new drivers that do nothing. It's a shame because Razer has a wonderful microphone in these headphones of theirs, but alas - I won't listen to some pointless, annoying and irritating noise in my headphones. Definitely time to make a decision and buy HyperX Cloud III Wireless. And razer hide in the ass
Better mic but slightly worst sound imo. Also the no sidetone, this kills it as there’s quite a bit of passive cancellation so you can’t hear yourself in the middle of an action pack game. Wireless is worth the very wired for sure.
My sister got the logitech G pro X 2s wireless and it s the best ever a little bit expensive but 100% worth it ! I have the cloud 2 I think i am going to switch to alpha wireless or same logitech g pro X 2s !
if you try sonar is gone blow you mind how better is gone be i only have the hyperx 2 but maby i buy nr3 sound like a good headset hyperx is strong wanne is come to sound and comfy stuff
My headset didn't pair. Either the headset or dongle is faulty. The amount of similar complains online in various forums is not wanted I wanted to see either. Perhaps as a reviewer it would be great for potential buyers to learn about the amount of complaints or lack of quality control prior to their purchase. In hindsight this information definitely would have swayed my decision. I won't be buying another HyperX product.
I think you just might be unlucky mate, I've been usaing the headset daily still to this day and it's been working flawlessly. Just saying that with massively popular products that sell lots you're naturally going to find negative reviews as well. Not many people bother posting about the positive. But I understand you're decision either way :)
These are the worst sounding headphones I've ever purchased. I can't believe that people are recommending them. Sure, they might sound good for music but as soon as you try to load into a game like Call of Duty, you will recognize that the sound is some of the worst of any headphones in the game right now. A definite RETURN!
These are so crap compared to the Kingstons man. Get your hands on the originals and then tell us what you think. Thanks for the vid, but I'm a solid supporter prior HP takeover.
from my gaming laptop the mic audio comes through with a really annoying vibration. for example when you said, "perfectly fine" the 'er' in perfectly and the 'i' in fine sound distorted and again come through with this super whiney and ear piercing vibration.
Купил их за 67к тенге, согласен с тем что они того не стоят, ничего особенного из себя не представляют. Звук далеко не самый лучший, особенно для тех кто играет шутеры, звук выстрелов в кс и апекс будет как из бочки. Я пробовал настраивать эквалайзер, оставлять дефолтный, ставить последнюю прошивку, абсолютно все возможные настройки звука делал, особо толку это не даёт к сожалению. Плюс этих наушников в их удобстве и автономность. Поверьте мне, у меня было очень много наушников, вывод один: для игр брать только проводные.

Is that for the wireless only?
@@ファイサル-w7y Not sure really
Nice video, thanks for the showing this mic settings. Keep it up!
Wow changing that mic settings was huge
this shit shocked me so good mic quality for an headset
Grate video bro keep up the good work and thanks for helping me choose what headset to buy.
Thanks mate! Appreciate the feedback!
best review of this HS! Going to buy it just because of you (After seeing sooo many different ones for hours)
The earcups are easy to replace. They always have been on the Cloud headsets, and this one is no different.
The Cloud 2's have always come with a different set of earpads for those who want it. Maybe the 3 has the same.
Anyone else getting a high pitched whine from these when no audio is playing sometimes?
thx really like the review keep it up!
If you changed the settings of the microphone on the pc will it work the same way on ps5? I’m wondering if the headset can save a preset like that, or if it’s only gonna be possible as long as it is connected to pc
Great video btw, keep it up
You can easily remove and replace the ear pads. Very easily actually. 😊

But as they're sort of new they added the upgraded feature to it.

Thanks mate
Great vid man, take care
Thanks mate you too
Good vid bro!
Appreciate it
Hi mate got a question do you know if mic monitoring is enabled by default via ps5? I don’t have a windows pc sadly
This or the razer blackshark v2 2023 version? Nice video bro
I have blackshark v2 and its shit in valorant, to hear the surroundings. It might be good in other games. Go for hyperx man, I have regretted all logitech and razer headsets until now I am going for the hyperx, it is the best headset you will ever need! I had hyperx alpha before, time to get this.

And razer hide in the ass
Which is better for RPG/Horror and 1 player action games, HyperX Cloud II, Cloud III or Steeseries Arctis Nova 1?
Is the wired version better or worse for sound quality?
Better mic but slightly worst sound imo. Also the no sidetone, this kills it as there’s quite a bit of passive cancellation so you can’t hear yourself in the middle of an action pack game. Wireless is worth the very wired for sure.
The Hyper X sounded much more natural and clearer than the Asus mic. They look to be really good.
Yeah definitely the mic was a standout and sounds really good in comparison 😉 but also that battery life is incredible 🤛🏻
Being able to unplug and remover the mic is a brilliant feature, for sure.Great video by the way. Keep up the good work.@@SocialHardware
Hello, In the sound settings for headphones, is it better to use the format "2 channels, 24bits, 48000hz" or "2 channels, 24bits, 96000hz"?
i ask myself the same
My sister got the logitech G pro X 2s wireless and it s the best ever a little bit expensive but 100% worth it ! I have the cloud 2 I think i am going to switch to alpha wireless or same logitech g pro X 2s !
Does anybody else get glitch like noises when using this head set and if so does anybody know a fix
Is there any lag in game audio?
No
Should I get this or Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless for $75 more???
if you try sonar is gone blow you mind how better is gone be i only have the hyperx 2 but maby i buy nr3 sound like a good headset hyperx is strong wanne is come to sound and comfy stuff
How does hte mic on this compare to the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless?

Very unlucky. I’ve had several of their products over the years and never had an issue.
These are the worst sounding headphones I've ever purchased. I can't believe that people are recommending them. Sure, they might sound good for music but as soon as you try to load into a game like Call of Duty, you will recognize that the sound is some of the worst of any headphones in the game right now. A definite RETURN!
Ok alpha?
I agree cloud 2s have better sound wireless version
These are so crap compared to the Kingstons man. Get your hands on the originals and then tell us what you think. Thanks for the vid, but I'm a solid supporter prior HP takeover.
Call of duty audio is shit anyway worst they put no effort in to audio on that game
In cs2 it's very good in my opinion I don't use dtsx
I’m having problem where when I update the dtsx drivers it still says error
Is there any point changing the eq if I’m gonna use the headset for ps5 thanks.
No. Thankfully they already sound great.
does it have on-board memory?
yep it does :)
@@SocialHardware hyperx just said it doesn't have on-board memory. fyi
It does not 😊
Mine keeps muting all the time. So I'm speaking and nobody heard anything
very low volume...good mic.but with th volume problem..i pass
if you check the rtings sound graph there is no bass
theres definitely bass but it's not really a bass focused headphone
The biggest deal breaker is the lack of swivel 😢
true

what if battery dies. can i still use it?
Rechargeable (usb-c)
No, you only get the rated 120 hrs of use. Once it dies, you must buy another one.
