Update headset within beta app, then download Revo uninstaller and get rid of the beta, it's bloatware and you'll get worse audio quality and a quieter microphone. After Revo uninstalling the beta, use the regular ngenuity app and download DTS unbound from Windows store, be sure to select 3s wireles

Whatever you do.. do not use the ngenuity beta app, it’s absolutely awful in its current iteration. The headset is pretty solid but held back by that app Check out info from this other post about it. A lot of good info https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperX/comments/1hwduh9/if_you_own_hyperx_cloud_iii_read_this_ng

The Hyper X Cloud 3 S is an excellent choice for competitive/story games. I have a lot of headphones and IEMs that I rotate through and these are pretty decent, I personally EQ them to emphasize footsteps as well. Also, for $140 you cant beat the price, for a good sound wireless headset. IEMs are gr

I heard the opposite. Cloud 2 being more bassy and Cloud 3 S being more the neutral "audiophile" frequency. If you haven't, recommend to firmware update via NGENUITY non-beta and set EQ there. Reset your audio settings from the Settings Menu as well. Give these a try from u/AESIRu that I daily drive

Amazing, thanks for the additional testing on your part and the follow-up. I pulled a trigger on this headset like 2-3 hours ago so it's very reassuring to see your positive response regarding this "auto-sleep" issue. All of the posts I've seen were at least 2-3 months old so maybe HyperX managed to

I just got my first headset and was these Cloud III S Wireless. Had a similar problem 2 hours ago trying to get DTS to work and such. I used this thread to fix the issue and adjust settings. https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperX/comments/1hwduh9/if_you_own_hyperx_cloud_iii_read_this_ngenuity/ After I did firmware

Have you experienced issues related to the headset switching to sleep mode when listening to quiet audio? I se that a lot of people reported having issue with that and not being able to disable this "auto-sleep feature" (e.g.: https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperX/comments/1nike47/hyperx_cloud_3s_wireless_how

Il suffit simplement d'aller dans tes paramètres son windows (via le panneau de configuration : Matériel et audio) et de sélectionner "Son/Gérer les périphériques audios". Là tu cliques sur l'onglet "Enregistrement" (pas Lecture, logique car c'est pas le son qui sort que tu veux écouter, mais le son

I ditched Ngenuity entirely for APO Equalizer. Highly recommend!!! I hopped on AutoEQ (website) and started from one of their presets to make it easier. This thread got me going, and I was impressed with the improvements I got it of my Cloud 3s: https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperX/comments/1hwduh9/if_yo

Check out this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperX/comments/1hwduh9/if_you_own_hyperx_cloud_iii_read_this_ngenuity I just got my 3S and was super disappointed as well. Ended up ditching Ngenuity, downloading APO Equalizer and experimenting with different suggested EQs suggested in that thread. The diffe
