"awesome mic monitoring (which is important to me since I hate the muffled sound of my voice when talking with over ear headphones)"
"the mic is really good (surprisingly)"
"They have an outstanding microphone, one of the best I’ve heard"

"really low latency wireless ... The wireless connection is 2.4 GHz so latency is pretty non-existent"
"There isn't any latency at all and her PC is kinda old, if that helps."
"Wireless has worked flawlessly for me. ... it has great range. I’ve been able to go to the kitchen 3 rooms away and still had good reception."

"Yeppp. ... I game daily and charge it from 30% - 100% every 2 or so months."
"The HyperX Cloud 3s have insane battery life ... With the battery lasting so long, concerns about it dying have been pretty nonexistent. When turning it on, a voice will notify you if the battery is low. That usually means you can still get one or two gaming sessions in before needing to charge."
"The battery lasts for weeks, no joke."

"But tbh the comfort, completeness and the easy of use from my HyperX can't be beat by those."
"I wear glasses and the clamping force on these near my ears are perfect, I'm able to wear these for hours without issue."
"I can wear it for an incredibly long period of time with absolutely no discomfort."

"The big PLUS for me on these compared to the Novas is that they have recessed 4kHz - it reduces fatigue and it’s not harsh on the ears. Especially with those high pitch gunshots and flash bangs."
"It's really well balanced for gaming, movies and even music."
"the sound is night and day with it enabled vs not enabled"

"Worst audio headset lmao ... sounds like a 10 dollar headset ... Worse headset I ever had. ... The $30 headset i bought for my little brother is wayy better audio."
"the c3 sound us muffled and quieter compared to c2 ... tried 2 cloud 3s to make sure"
"Audio quality: scooped trebble, meh directional audio. ... Functional enough for gaming although bad for footsteps or directional audio due to scooped trebble. ... This also makes it bad for music as it sounds muffled and unnatural."

"STAY AWAY from anything DTS related‼️Especially drivers and DO NOT install DTS app - it will destroy any FPS gaming performance. ... I did the mistake couple days ago, thinking they fixed the driver/latency/distortion issues and ohh boy was I wrong! Tried everything to get rid of those, but eventually had to completely wipe out the system and start with fresh windows install."
"my problems was always the mic. It would stop working"
"although i personally wouldn’t get the wireless version due to latency and interference issues."

"mine fkn broke in only 7 months of using it"
"Mine only lasted a year almost to the dot on all 3."
"Then after a year or two the battery kicks the bucket. ... Not with the hyper x’s or most other wireless headsets."
