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
01 / 07

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

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.

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.
