In short

Runners find the Hyperion Max 3 soft, cushioned and stable for easy and long runs, with some bounce left for faster work.

Bouncy, protective and durable with a wide stable base; the weight feels clunky when speeding up.

Runners mostly find it plush and comfortable, and softer than the Bondi 8.
