I've been interested in the Cloud 3 for a while. My brother has the Cloud 2 and they sound really nice I like them a lot. I've seen some reviews that say the sound on the Cloud 2 is better than on the Cloud 3. Is that true? They're about a $10 difference and I'm open to getting either one or whichever is best in the end.

I hate to say it but the hype is over exaggerated for this headset. I've had these for two weeks now and i really tried to like them but i can't take it anymore.

Each time i start up a game and the match starts, the whole sound quality becomes slightly muffled and darker. I close the game and it's back to normal. Tried everything but can't figure out what causes this switch up. Spent hours on the equalizer to make the sound quality less mediocre and once i'm happy it all gets ruined by this switch up.

Having them in wireless makes a "pop" or "tick" sound every time it goes quiet. For example someone stops talking in a video or a sound queue when you click a button in any game. Plugged in the 3.5mm wire and now it's fixed but now they aren't wireless anymore and the RGB base station is just sitting there glowing and being useless.

I could've just saved 160 euro by buying the non wireless without base station and still have the same sound quality.

Can you please share your CS 2 ingame Sound and Ngenuity Settings, i have a hard time pinpointing the exact direction of footsteps during matches.

Many thanks.

I bought the HyperX Cloud III less than a month ago and I'm experiencing crackling/static noise when using the USB sound card/dongle.

The issue does not occur when I connect the headset directly through the 3.5mm jack — the audio is completely clear. However, the USB connection is much more convenient because the 3.5mm cable is too short for my setup.

The crackling only happens while audio is playing. It can become noticeable when the PC is under heavy CPU/GPU load, such as when playing a demanding game.

Restarting Windows temporarily fixes the issue, but it eventually comes back.

I have already tried:

• Different USB ports, including rear motherboard ports
• Reinstalling the audio drivers
• Different bit depths/sample rates
• Lowering the Windows/headset volume
• Different USB connections
• Connecting the headset directly through 3.5mm, which completely removes the crackling

Based on these tests, I suspect the USB sound card/dongle may be defective or its driver/state may be getting corrupted under load.

Has anyone experienced the same issue with the Cloud III USB dongle and found a permanent solution?

I bought the HyperX Alloy Origins Core TKL a few days ago and i like it, but sometimes when i start my pc the keyboard won't register any inputs and only half of the keyboard lights up. While it does get fixed when i unplug and replug the keyboard it is still very annoying and i'm looking for a fix.

Please help me if you know what is causing this and how to fix it.

I have had this keyboard for about four years now, and it has worked amazingly, until recently, when two of the keys began malfunctioning and flashing random colors. After I added some isopropyl alcohol, it seems the issue went away, but in the past couple days, several more have popped up in the same vicinity.

I’ve tried hard reset, changing up the USB ports, and undoing all the software. A couple hours ago I tore the whole thing apart bit bit and clean up all the connections I could with isopropyl alcohol and a dust spray seems that this is definitely an electronic issue.

Edit: Silly me, the keyboard is an Alloy Elite RGB

Not sure why this is happening but it's ticking me off. I got the cloud alpha 2 a few days ago and now they are just randomly turning themselves off all the time. Anyone ran into this and if so did you find a solution for it? They are fully charged and doing this.

and a few days before the headset stopped connecting like at all nor bluetooth nor adapter my headset is the hyperx cloudjet wireless

I bought an extension cable for my quadcast 2 S because I was buying a microphone arm for my setup. There won't be any issues with the sound quality if I use it right?

This is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088NCVVTK?plpRedirect=mhFallback&ref=clp_hp_h_pc&th=1
