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

"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"

"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 3 crushes 2 for competitive fps"
"the sound is night and day with it enabled vs not enabled"

"If you can get it for $100 or less then thats a steal."
"Based on my research you're not going to get anything better until you start spending £200 or you buy wired headphones and attach your own mic."
"I have a pair of cloud 2s that still work fine after 5+ years. ... For the price it’s tough to beat."

"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."

"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."

"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."
"The problem I had was the dts headphone x stopped working. ... It was a problem since the sound is night and day with it enabled vs not enabled."
"The tradeoff on all of this are the same: buggy apps"

"if it sits for a period of time with no audio, it won't resume playing sound until either the headset is restarted, or you switch away from the headset and back in windows settings. ... Experienced on two separate Cloud 3 Wireless headsets, one of which I received as a replacement a couple of months ago."
"if you don't have audio playing for a while (say, 10-15 minutes plus) it probably won't resume any playback until you either turn it off and on, or change output device and change it back. ... Twice I've had that issue, HyperX technical team has been able to reproduce it, and quite a few people on /r/HyperX complaining about it"

"my head kinda hurts while playing it for a long time ... they are not for medium to large shaped head ... Idk man, compared to cloud 2 their fiting is not that great ... hyperx failed this time in comfort zone tbh"
"The HyperX's cans are a bit more narrow"
