Measured
- Frequency response notes
- The curve looks a little odd but stays fairly close to the SoundGuys preference curve. It lacks the ear gain in the 2 to 3 kHz region. It does not roll off early in the upper frequencies.8Measurementsoundguys.com/hyperx-cloud-iii-s-wireless-review-138664Read 14 October 2026Review text on the measured curve against the SoundGuys preference curve. One sentence names the Cloud III Wireless, but it sits in the Cloud III S Wireless review, so it is read as this model's measurement. Measurement figures were not published as numbers.
