"But tbh the comfort, completeness and the easy of use from my HyperX can't be beat by those."
"My hyperx cloud 3s are the most comfy I've ever owned"
"Very comfortable and fits my head well. ... my previous one was too big for my head and was uncomfortable. I've only had my new headset a couple weeks but it's a huge difference!"

"The pinpoint accuracy is insane. I played Valorant on PS5, xDefiant and Warzone. ... This was more noticeable on Valorant as it is a more sound dependent game. You won't miss anything with these. I started to watch out at angles I wouldn't watch with the others because some audio cue made me suspect a door and ... it was 100% right all the time. I could tell where they were with excellent accuracy, both horizontal and vertical."
"Cloud II are the louder headset I've tried connected via 3.5mm to a DualSense controller. ... And they are not just louder, they're also extremely crystal clear probably because of the 53mm drivers. I could feel everything, even just reloading a gun, I could hear all those metal parts moving. This was not even noticeable in any of the other headsets."
"i hear the footsteps loud and clear in a fps."

"the Cloud II's microphone sounded the best, the clearer on every single audio device I've tested. I'm still recovering from that one to be honest. It was a surprise that went against everything I've seen on reviews so I'd like to really underline that one because most people thing the Cloud II microphone isn't good. Well, these are the HP version so maybe the reworked HP version actually improved the microphone. ... It's one of the best microphones i've used. Your voice sounds crisp and clear even if you're speaking lower."
"awesome mic monitoring (which is important to me since I hate the muffled sound of my voice when talking with over ear headphones)"
"everyone says i sound very clear on the mic"

"I've replaced both the Ear Cushions and the Top Leather and they're basically brand new. ... I've had mine for the similar amount of time and have to say they're the best headset i've ever had."
"my HyperX Cloud that I've had for 10 years"
"I’ve used a set of hyperx clouds that were like £30 for the last 4 years… can’t fault them.."

"everything I've tried so far is too "inside your head" to be convincing in immersive games. ... The soundstage of most headphones is too narrow"

"mine fkn broke in only 7 months of using it"
"I had them for a long while, but for me the rubber on the ear cups started peeling and it was a horrible mess. The cloud 3 is honestly mostly the same, use them currently."
"Mine only lasted a year almost to the dot on all 3."
