Rattling sound inside left earcup – Cloud III S Wireless

Hi everyone,

I have a strange issue with my HyperX Cloud III S Wireless (AX6G1AA). When I put the headset on and shake my head left/right or toward my shoulders, I can hear a rattling/shifting sound coming from the left earcup, as if something inside is moving.

This is already the third pair I've experienced it with. I returned the first one and bought another, but the new pair does the same thing. A friend also has the same model (black), and I can hear/feel a similar noise on his headset, although it's less noticeable.

Interestingly, if I hold the mic mute button while shaking my head, the rattling disappears.

Has anyone else noticed this with the Cloud III S Wireless?

  • Is this normal for this model?
  • Could something inside the earcup be loose?
  • Could this be from somewhere or something else?
  • Could it become worse over time?
  • Should I return the headset again, or is this simply a characteristic of the headset?

I'd really appreciate hearing from other Cloud III S owners, especially if you've experienced the same thing.

Thanks!
