AMAZING!!!
When I looked this headset I thought it repeated version of the original Cloud 3 Wireless until I saw the little “S” in the name. I got intrigued and reviewed it up to the point that I made my purchase and let me tell you, this is one of the best headsets I’ve used in my life! I originally had the Cloud 3 Wireless but then changed due to some decisions, and coming back to it now? God this is incredible!! The bluetooth feature works phenomenally better than expected. With my busy schedule and the 120 hours of battery life included in it, it’s more than perfect! I recommend this headset to people who enjoy hearing great audio from either games or from just watching youtube videos and listening to music!

I just bought a second pair for home!
I’m really impressed with the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless headset. The first thing I noticed is how comfortable they are—I can wear them for hours without any pressure or soreness. The noise-canceling is better than I expected and really helps me stay focused, whether I’m on a long conference call or playing games. The sound quality is clean and clear, and the mic picks up my voice without background noise, which has been great for work meetings. They feel solid, the battery lasts a long time, and switching between devices is easy. Overall, a great headset for both productivity and gaming. I actually just picked up a second pair for gaming at home (to complement my other headset) and to take on the road for work!
