THE DIFFERENCES, MADE VISIBLE

Visual facts

Differences first. Select a topic for its graphic, sources and conditions.

How to read this comparison
  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.
FEATURES SIDE BY SIDE7 topics

Yes and No describe the listed feature. Missing evidence stays unverified.

SELECTED TOPIC

Impedance

Nominal electrical load, not sound quality or loudness. Output capability and headphone sensitivity matter together; impedance alone cannot decide whether an amplifier is needed.

HyperX Cloud III64 Ω

Manufacturer specification · Listed on the UK page only; the US page omits impedance.

Explore the full specifications

Start with your listening environment. Open and closed earcups suit different surroundings. A closed back is not the same as active noise cancellation. Check the exact cable and headphone output. We do not turn impedance, driver size or unpaired lab results into a sound-quality score.

WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Beyerdynamic MMX 300 PRO

What it brings

  • The analogue connection with a supplied combination-jack adapter lets the same headset plug into a PC's separate audio jacks or the combination jack of a console, tablet or phone.
  • The boom microphone is a cardioid condenser with a published 20–20,000 Hz range and sensitivity, so its pickup can be checked against other headsets' specifications.

What to check

  • Ambient noise attenuation is rated at 18 dBA. The supplied audio cable uses separate 3.5 mm headphone and microphone plugs, plus a combination-jack adapter.
  • Official sources disagree on the inline remote: the spec sheet mentions a cable with an integrated remote control, while the product page lists the headset as without remote.

HyperX Cloud III

What it brings

  • One headset covers 3.5 mm, USB-C and USB-A: the 3.5 mm plug suits devices with a headphone jack, and the supplied USB dongle and adapter cover USB-C and USB-A ports.
  • HyperX lists compatibility with PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Mac and mobile.

What to check

  • The documented audio connections are 3.5 mm and the supplied USB dongle. The “noise-cancelling” label applies to the microphone; active noise cancellation for listening remains unestablished.
  • HyperX lists 308 g without the microphone and 320 g with it, and publishes cable lengths only in feet on its US page.
