The treble peaks in 2k-20k frequency is the high pitch/shrilling of gunfire that can cause ear fatigue. Create a custom eq bringing them down by 1-2 db until it stops bothering you. If you look at this squiglink you can see the peaks past 2k.

Pessoalmente tenho os HyperX Cloud III Wireless e não podia está mais satisfeito. Não tem qualquer tipo de equalização (O que para mim é uma vantagem), som cristalino, bass razoável. O material de construção é robusto e não há cá plásticos, tudo alumínio. Independentemente de que headsets escolheres

Or, you can skip DTS and just use Equalizer APO app and grab the AutoEQ ParametricEQ settings for the HyperX Cloud III. And, avoid the NGenuine software, which can brick your headset with updates. Uninstall NGenuine, reboot, and download EqualizerAPO instead: https://sourceforge.net/projects/equaliz

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

If you specifically mean wireless, then the HyperX Cloud III Wireless S. Great audio right out of the box so no EQ is really needed, HyperX’s Cloud headset lineup is notorious for their great comfort, and the battery life lasts up to 100-120 hours in a charge.

Am tot vrut sa fac un upgrade de la Razer (pls never buy) si dupa niste research am ajuns la HyperX Cloud III S wireless. Ce a fost inportant pentru mine:- se aud foarte bine, daca te joci shootere auzi clar pasii, reincarcarile si sunetele fine care sunt distinse de explozii- de microfon m-a intreb
