Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Light memory-foam fit, comfy for hours
  • 3.5 mm and USB-C/USB-A work across PC, consoles, phones
  • Decent, fairly flat-sounding mic
  • Very clear mic that rejects keyboard noise
  • Bright but not harsh, with solid lows
  • Light, plush and sturdier than before
  • USB-C added; 10-band EQ in the app

Cons

  • Weak sub-bass and coloured treble
  • Isolation lets loud noise in
  • Overcomplicated Windows-only app; few features
  • Recessed mids; rock sounds thin
  • Ordinary soundstage; DTS effect subtle
  • Leatherette can run warm; mic a bit prone to pops
  • Mic quiet and a bit sibilant; loud mute beeps
  • SoundGuysJan 2025

    Comfortable and works with everything, but sound isn't good enough for a strong recommendation; isolation scored only 3.8/10.

  • TechRadarMay 2023

    Better than the popular Cloud II in every way, with the best mic the reviewer has heard on a gaming headset.

  • Tom's HardwareMay 2023

    A good update to the Cloud II: comfier and nicer looking with a similar sound; software was unreliable at review time.

  • PC GamerJun 2023

    A worthwhile Cloud II update and a good choice if comfort comes first, but better-sounding sets exist at its list price.
