One thing I forgot to mention about sound.
Both these headsets sound better connected straight 3.5 and not usb, even if u adjust an eq.
Weird but true. 👍
Good to know. That is weird. How does red mute light work over 3.5? Is there a coin battery in there or something?
@@Juice_VI no idea, I was curious about that as well.
There’s a capacitor in there that can hold just enough charge to power that light without a battery
@@user-vq1sm8pd7j Thanks!
How does it sound when you use the Cloud 3 with the Cloud II dongle? Any difference?
I asked you about this (and maybe other people too), and you replied with this great video, thanks! will catch a cloud II!
is the clould 3 cable longer then the cloud 2 cable without usb i need something long for pc without usb
Great video! But if I’m on Xbox series S I can’t use the surround sound or the panel which is a real shame. on the cloud 3 does it work or is it still the same?
Aside from the falling off faux leather on the headband and ear cushions, my cloud II has been going strong for almost 7 years. Tried other headsets but they doesn't sound as good as my cloud II. Looking for upgrade for wireless headset though, is the logitech g pro x wireless or hyperx cloud wireless are comparable to the cloud II?
*It's been 84 years....*
I've been using my Cloud 2 since day 1 release. After all these years I can finally have a upgrade worthy of that 120 euro price
I just bought them in czech retail store for 80 Euro - I think that they maybe wrongly priced them because other store have them for at least 118 Euro. Hope they will be as good as OG Kingston Cloud 2 but I keep my hopes low since I already tried Cloud 2 Wireless before and it was dogshit, high white noise and sound quality was not exactly good....kinda sad that HP ruin this brand.
@@seifertak Yeah but those were wireless, thess are wired and sound quality should be top notch. From what I've seen on TH-cam reviews everybody says it's really good.
@@PsychoKern Have you tried them? How is the sound feeling? I ordered them i have cloud 2s rn and I love them hope the cloud threes are a better version of them
Been waiting for this! Mine are on order!
The way u explain everything really helped me make my mind up about which mic I should get . I’m mainly looking for a good mic for sound purposes , and I’ve seen you review the Alpha as well which is my decision because of your reaction to the sound .
Hey @TheTechne, looking for a new headset, been using Cloud Alpha's for 4 years. Should I get Alpha S or Cloud 3?
Are the boom mics interchangeable? By that i mean using the mic from the cloud 3 in the cloud 2 headset and would that make the best of both worlds, sound and microphone.
Are the cups the same size? Have some wicked cushions here that I might want to use on the 3.
Is the detachable mic easily detaches when you move it? I got this issue with blackshark headset of Razer.
Thanks for video! What is better, Logitech G Pro X or Cloud 3 for fps gaming?
Cheers for the review, i do like the look of the Cloud 3s and the mic was really good.
Have you tried plugging the 3s into the 2s usb sound dongle? If so does it help the sound profile?
My Cloud II started sounding a bit weird i hear static when a put volume over 50% so do you think its worth upgrading i had them for like 2 years.
does cloud 2 have detachable cable. so basically they are forcing you to buy wireless edition of cloud 3 to have detachable cable as option'?
Techne what are your opinions on using apple earpods (wired) for gaming?
I have a Razer Kraken Tournament edition. I’m so not happy with Razer Synapse 3, is this headset using any software? Would it be a upgrade to Cloud 3? Or would you still recommend buying the 2 from Razer?
What year model cloud 2 do u have? After HP bought Hyperx in June 2021 quality went downhill.
Are you sure that the cloud 2 ear pads works on cloud 3? and where can i order it ?
I’ve been using the HyperX Cloud Flight wireless for a long time and I’m surprised hyperx hasn’t done the swivel on their higher end models. The only issue I’ve had with the flights is the ear pads, but that’s expected to wear out.
I have a question: Can you change hyperx 3 settings on ps5 if you change them from a computer?
i want a better microphone for my hyperx 2.
Can i take the one of the hyperx 3? or any other ideas?
Why when playing on console with these I have static when other people talk or going through the Xbox menu. Would anyone have a suggestion what to do?
Wow. That microphone got so much higher quality comparing with Cloud 2 and Alpha.
What about the Sound Stage, and how did the 7.1 surround compare? You've mentioned nothing about the 3D sound portion.
Hey so I’ve been with the astros a10’s all my gaming career and I’m trying to find something new that sounds just like the a10s because that’s what I honestly like but I’m looking for a better mic anyone have any suggestions?
Is the switch between the cloud 1 and 3 worth in? in terms of audio and mic?
I’m going to buy cloud 3 for streaming (Can’t afford a pc so i have to stream via mobile) is cloud 3’s mic is enough strong for noise isolation (i mean it’s enough strong to avoid background noises? )
The most honest reviewer 👍
is this better than the logitech g pro x2 in term of imaging separation footstep. etc. specially in warzone 2
Thank you so much for this. I had a struggle debating to get some wicked cush and slap on my steel series that i got a month or two ago.
Imma be honest either i have dumbo ears or my head was large but those steel series pinched and made my head sweat like being out in daylight.
Went back to hyper x 2 and never looked back. Dropped a few times think the amount of drops have messed them up.
Bet im getting another hyper x 2 because of you 😇
Been waiting for your review,. Thanks! I'm sticking with the Cloud 2. Great reviewing as always
Thank you for your honesty, as serious gamers we need this info!
Been Waiting for this review for so long
Cloud 3 or cloud alpha s or g pro x which one to buy for mic and fps games like pubg?
Of all the hyper X headsets, which one do you like best for the price range $119 and up for gaming sound
do you prefer this over Alpha S and over the Orbit as well?
Can you test the Cloud 3 on the cloud 2 usb, I've noticed they seem to be louder than the cloud alpha usb
You would still recommend the 2’s even with the hum sound??
Hey techne what headset do you recommend for bigger ears like me
Hi there, I'm a big supporter of hyperx cloud, just wanted to know which headphones work best with the Xbox one s, either wired or wireless in your opinion thanks Gary
Still loving my clouds, been my daily drivers for a couple years and will be for years
Cloud 3 completely destroys the Cloud 2's mic
I wouldn’t say destroys, but yes it’s better.
@@TheTechne on your video recording, the difference is night and day. The cloud 3's sound almost similar to your recording mic - I was very surprised.
@@jabbarismadi5607 Depends what you listened on. If it’s on your phone or tablet etc it’s not a fair comparisons. Listen with some good headphones or speakers
@@TheTechne tbh cloud 3 did destroy it bcs my friends always saying in cloud 2 my voice low and not clear
@@anthonytech me listen with an Alpha s🙄
Does DTS on ps5 change the sound of the cloud 3 at all?
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.
Would u chose the Alpha over the 2s still?
Hi, how is the mic monitoring of the cloud iii?
For mobile gaming like PUBG which one is better Logitech gpro x or cloud iii ?
What about cloud 2 vs cloud alpha? And will there be a cloud alpha 3?
Should I get the Corsair HS65 over HyperX Cloud II?
Who know what is the size of the earpads please?? It is good for big head and ears?
Is this good on Xbox? I know some headsets don’t sound as good in Xbox vs pc or ps4
the thing i hate on hyperx clouds is the plastic in the end of headbands, here in my tropical country the heat ramps up and making those plastic very fragile and crispy and completely destroyed tthatt i have to taped my hyperx cloud 2 i did bought another pair and same results occured
Mate you just saved me some cash. I play solo more than anything so mic quality for multiplayer isn't important to me, but sound quality is prime. So I'm gonna hold on to my Cloud 2 for dear life and make a point to look after it better especially hearing that the newer batches have poorer quality than the og ones.
Thanks for the honestly, I will stick to my OG CloudXs, too many channels just jump onto the "best 99$ headset" bandwagon.
When I saw these I thought these looked okay but I wasn't blown away...no detachable cable, no swivel. Not that much to make me upgrade. Especially at the higher price. Especially since the CloudX is just the Cloud 2 with an inline volume and mic mute, so there REALLY isn't anything to upgrade for.
Do either of these have sidetone??
I've owned 2 sets of HyperX so far. The breaking point for both sets were not the hinges. It was the connection point between the metal band and the middle part. That plastic coupling piece always broke.
Hello i got a question which one is better cloud 2 wireless or cloud 3 btw love your videos
My cloud II have broken the plastic part that attach to the head band.
I have a pair of Astro A50s that i might be lookin to replace. I had a pair of the HyperX Cloud II's and had no complaints. I've been waiting for you to drop this video! Love your content! You're one of my goto tech reviewers.
Thank u so much
Which headset did you end up picking up?
@@ChryslerS300 I ended up getting BeyerDynamic TYGR 300R’s. Not too bad!
is this headphone 7.1 surroundings?or is much butter than 7.1 surroundings?
How would it compare to the alphas
is there a wireless version coming?
I've had logitech g533, g933 and had to returned them multiple times to warranty.. I love the brand and its models but im looking into hyperx nowadays... i love the wireless feature, can't really live without it ;) Would a cloud II wireless be a smart choice? been reading pretty good and pretty bad comments so I cant make up my mind, could someone give me straight opinions? Yes, No, why?.. I'd really aprecciate it!
thank you for your detailed review. after watching 4 videos covering the same items yours pushed me to purchase ❤
awesome! so glad I was able to help out
@@TheTechne what killed it for me was the sound difference..and not in a good way! i had the first hyper X cloud series for almost 3 years until my cat chewed through the threaded cord lol I just felt cloud 3 isn't awesome enough for the extra $20/30 (on sale) what also worried me was that the headband isn't threaded like the other two...and I really want these to last long. definitely hit that sub button 🖤
Yes, the cloud ii sound is exciting 😀 it was the first thing I noticed first time I used it. I guess it is always a matter of preference, I'm sure audiophiles will prefer the sound of cloud iii.
In your test the micro from the cloud iii sounded very good to me.
From my experience, "Audiophiles" have no idea what good sound is.
I've bought a pair of "Focal Elegia" because many people in the "audiophile subreddit" recommended them to me. They were the weirdest, most shitty sounding headphone I've ever used. I would rather use a 50$ no name headset. And be aware the headphone originally costed 800$ and I bought it for 400$.
So yep, idk whatever those "Audiophiles" are smoking.
After that experience, I only trust "Audio nerds" like Techne. He actually knows what he is talking about compared to all the "audiophiles".
No, audiophiles won't use anything that's not Audio Technica or Sennheiser
Great video. I think Cloud II mic sounds better. I believe Cloud III Wireless version sound the best.
When is it going to release?
Im just looking to upgrade from my steelseries arctis 7 wireless. The mic quality alone sells it to me compared to steelseries' mics.
i think my cloud 2's are around 4 or so years old and i just recently dropped them enough to finally break the headcup from the mount. its kinda back together but if the 3's are anything like the 2 ill prob buy em.
Hyperx Cloud III vs Hyperx Cloud alpha S. Which is better, guys?
That sound quality sounds awesome
You gonna reveiw the pulse fire haste 2
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.
Hey bro please translate this, i saw a review said this headphone not good with iphone sound is very low and mix every sound of footsteps, gunfire, door.!? Can you use this without pc!?
is it good for valorant?
You're the King of Tech Reviews
its realy heart warming to see someone speeks the truthe about these produts wich company's payes so much mony to TH-camrs to promote them
Have you ever had a headset/headphones just snap during your twisting and stress testing?
Great video as always bro
Which headset would you recommend for a game like rainbow six siege where hearing footsteps is very important?
Wondering the same thing
I've waited a long time.... my Audeze Maxwells are supposed to be here on Monday! I'm starting to get giddy! I already have the wicked cushions for them in hand and ready.
Your in for a dang good time man!
I know this video is a bit old but if any one is having audio quality issues with the cloud 3's try plugging them into the cloud 2's audio cable, the one with the button pad on it, completely fixed all my issues and made the cloud 3's sound just like the 2's
is the cloud 3 better than alpha s in your opinion? should i get the cloud 3? im currently using the cloud alpha , i used to have the cloud 2.
when we getting that HyperX Cloud II Core Wireless review
What's THE best sounding headset/headphone for a balanced gaming but also main audio? I'm in no need of a mic on the thing, purely THE best sound.
Been waiting for your on review on this, I’m still undecided whether or not I should replace my Nova Pros
Not for these
@@TheTechne Interesting
please review the latest redragon headset techne why didnt you review it ????
Nice review dude!
@The Techne are you still maining the epos h6?
do you need DAC to use the epos? or i can just buy and plug and play to my pc
HyperX nailed it but they have 1 con for me at least they still didn't make the 3.5mm cable detachable just like on the alpha and alpha s. Everything else is good imo.
I wonder what they’ll do with a new cloud alpha 👀
What’s the point tho the cable is always out of stock and in my region it’s not available 😢
Cloud alpha 2?
@@paulmartinez34 yes my cloud alpha cable isn’t working properly anymore
@@bb3dr Soon 4 years I think since I bought my alphas cable been fucking with me past few months and if it's not sitting on desk I lose sound. Microphone started to die like a bit more than half year ago so I just bought quadcast it was on sale for like 40euro. But they are still as brand new if cable is on desk
These or audeze maxwells?
they just released the wireless version of this today so the cable problem shouldn't be much of an issue anymore
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.
they are not, they are just hard plastic
@@TheTechne awecome! thank you very much. 😃
@@TheTechne how about the positional audio? is the cloud 3 better? or the alpha s is better ?
mic diff is craaazyyy wow
i might buy it ngl
The Cloud 3 mic actually sounded really nice.
Cloud 2, Alpha or alpha S?
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.
Do you think you guys will purchase another pair of Cloud II’s even though they’re made by HP now? I’ve had my Kingston HyperX Cloud II’s for over 6 years now and although they’re falling apart just as you stated, I’m worried that the headsets they sell now won’t meet my expectations. Not sure what I should do.
@@lkahler1516 I have found a replacement for the frame-cushion on the "green river in Argentina" shop. Haven't replaced it by now but think this will then fit for the next years. I'm looking for a replacement of the cushion on the microphone, but worst case you can just replace this part. So with all the replacements it will fit for some more years.
If I would buy the HyperX Cloud II from HP again? Good question! Probably not. There are a lot of alternatives, so I would read some tests and then make up my mind. Problem is, that you can not test the sound in a shop. I like to hear the high tones and I don't like too much bass. But how can I test this? I can only trust on reviews.
@@tallaxlcforlive1133 here in portugal hyperx cloud II costs 70 euro and hyperx cloud III costs 100 so 30 euro more. My cloud II stopped working and they said they could either send me a new pair or give me my money back. If you were in my position would you get a new pair or pay 30 euro and get the cloud III?
thanks for being honest!
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.
No, the hyperx cloud III is for people who their priorities is to play competitive games while the hyperx cloud II (Kingston) are friendlier for the casual gamer who enjoys to have bass.
