Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is the birthday present he asked me for. He loves it and he is very happy with it. The quality of it is superior to all the ones he had before.

These headphones are amazing. Easy to use and set up, sound clear, and great on the head. The warranty is a bonus!

The HyperX Cloud III S Wireless is a premium gaming headset offered in a not-so-premium form factor. Strictly examining appearances, the HyperX Cloud III S is, in my opinion, somewhat lackluster. It looks relatively cheap and lacks striking or unique design elements outside of HyperX’s red accents. From the headband to the end of the microphone, the HyperX Cloud III S looks rather generic. Beyond that, the material quality doesn’t “wow” me, either. The earcups utilize an ordinary black plastic and feature flimsy outer covers attached via magnets, and both ends of the headband are capped with the same generic plastic used on the earcups. That said, the headset does feel durable, overall, and it is very comfortable, but the appearance and material quality are slight downgrades from some of HyperX’s previous work. Moving on to performance, we begin to see where HyperX has made some improvements. The sound quality of the HyperX Cloud III S is excellent, providing a balanced profile perfect for gaming and acceptable for listening to music. However, users who prefer loud, deep bass may be disappointed; bass is certainly there, but the headset lacks the rumbly punch other gaming headsets offer. In my testing, I played several games with varying soundscapes, and I found this headset provided the best listening experience I’ve ever gotten out of a gaming headset, with outstanding clarity, directionality, and imperceptible latency. The headset performs similarly while listening to music; however, it’s still a gaming headset, and it can’t compare to premium over-ear monitors. Audiophiles need not apply! Additionally, the performance of the removable microphone is great as well. In chatting with some friends online, they noted my clarity had improved over previous headsets. The functionality of the headset is another high point. The setup process was nearly non-existent: I simply plugged the wireless receiver into an open USB port on my PC, turned the headset on, and I was ready to roll with no tedious pairing sequence or proprietary software downloads required! Beyond that, the controls on the headset are intuitive, and a glance at the setup guide explains the multi-function buttons, such as the microphone monitoring toggle, effectively. The headset also travels well, as it comes with a bag that will comfortably fit everything it requires. In terms of battery life, the HyperX Cloud III S is advertised as having a 200-hour duration while using Bluetooth, and 120-hour duration while using HyperX’s wireless adapter. While my testing was done almost exclusively using the wireless adapter, these claims are mostly accurate. I believe this is thanks, primarily, to the headset’s auto-off functionality which fully powers down the device after 20 minutes of inactivity by default, though this behavior can be modified via HyperX’s NGENUITY software if you prefer more stringent or lax power saving options. Overall, the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless is an excellent gaming headset. The issues with the appearance and material quality, in my opinion, make the price point a little excessive, but the performance and functionality are phenomenal for a gaming headset. I would absolutely recommend this product to a friend looking to upgrade their current headset.

Sound quality is awesome, as expected. Definitely worth the price!

Great headset when used with the WiFi toggle. Did not work Bluetooth. Kept going in and out and had severe lag

I just bought them for my son.Great value for the money.He seems to like them.They work really well

Good headset overall not ideal for ps5 sound quality isn’t great

This HyperX Cloud 3 S wireless headset is nice. Top-notch wireless gaming headset and I’m really enjoying it. This unit has high performance gaming in mind and can be used with virtually any platform with its Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity. I trialed it with my PS5, Switch, and PC, all coming out great and simple to connect. This HyperX Cloud 3 S wireless headset is very comfortable with its HyperX signature memory foam pads which make a difference during long sessions. They are form fitting to have a great feel and make a firm but comfortable seal around my ears. The headset is very lightweight but made with a durable metal frame, so they aren’t going to break under heavy repetitive use or the usual daily bangs and bumps. Sound is phenomenal with crisp highs and deep vibrant bass delivered by its 53mm drivers. When paired to a PC this headset utilizes DTS Headphone X spatial audio, a unique feature of newer games to give locational sound cues and really feels like you’re in the game. The ultra-clear 10mm microphone is great for hi-def in game chat and does a great job at filtering out unwanted background/environmental noises. Sturdy but bendable construction for proper placement in front of my mouth for optimal functionality. Battery life on this headset is phenomenal but still maintains a lightweight build. Up to an amazing 200 hours on Bluetooth connection and 120 hours on the 2.4 GHz connection. Either way, this is incredible battery life for a wireless gaming headset. The battery lasts much longer than I ever could without stopping. Connection by either the Wireless (2.4 GHz) dongle or Bluetooth. Connection is quick and simple. If you can plug in a USB dongle or have ever connected a Bluetooth anything then you can do this. Connection was equally as simple on all 3 platforms I tested. I also really appreciate the full set of control buttons built right in the headset, keep it simple and easy access. There’s no trying to figure out how to do certain functions all with a single button that’s supposed to magically do it all. I also like the overall rounded design with simple black finish and red accents. It has a bit of a mature, pilot’s headset look. Conclusion: This HyperX Cloud 3 S wireless headset has been fantastic! It’s been a solid addition to my peripherals collection, offering a form fit, comfortable, high-quality wireless headset with excellent audio performance and incredibly long battery life. Overall design, quality, and performance make it one of my favorite headsets to date.

Works amazing especially with high performing games

I was excited to try out the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless headset. I think the Cloud III S makes alot of improvements on previous generations that while not groundbreaking, still matter. Out of the box, it does not look very different from previous generations, which is actually a plus because the Cloud III was a good-looking headset. These look nice and are just visually appealing. The comfort still remains. The Cloud III S is a bit heavier than the competition but I did not feel that made a difference in its wearability. The padding is nice and snug. One thing that I did note is that my ears would get a bit hot. Otherwise, I could wear these all day without pain. With the battery life being the longest I have ever heard at 120 hours on 2.4GHz and 200 (yes not a typo) hours on Bluetooth, I have not yet needed to charge this bad boy yet. I don't know if I am in the minority but I really wish there was an option for a simple wired connections. I feel like one of the improvements that were made were in the sound quality. It felt rich and crisp enough that it felt like I could almost feel the steps taken. The sound quality is hands down one of its best strengths. There is no active noise cancellation, but despite feeling snug, the passive noise cancellation was also subpar. The microphone works great and it is detachable which makes it easy to transport but also lose. One of the things that I felt could have been easily engineered would have been to let it fold for easy transport. Another thing that is just annoying is the lack of Xbox compatibility. All in all, I think this is a good set of gaming headphones that do have a few small things to nitpick at but when you are talking premium, they matter.

The treble is extremely sibilant. Joe from GT reviewed this amd the measurements looked nice, but dont compare with his rig's target compare with the maxwell and you will see what I mean. I found the original cloud 3 wireless to sound much better. In fairness, soundstage was decent, and of course so is comfort and battery life

Excellent fit, sound is great the microphone is also very good would recommend

Great item. Works with any Bluetooth device on the market

The headset was really nice. It wasnt what i was loooking for. The range was no longer then my alpha headset.

Excellent gaming headset. Would recommend for any gamer.

My child seems to enjoy they. I havent received a complaint yet

Lasts around 4-5 days on one charge, equivalent to 120 hours depending on the number of hours you are gaming and functionality in use. The memory foam earpieces are a great asset with how comfortable they during long periods of wear. I’ve not had any issues with sweat like with other headphones that use cheap materials to make the headphones. The included microphone can be disconnected if not needed. There’s also a wireless dongle for use with the headset. Overall the headset color scheme follows their primary black scheme with the classic red touches from the logo to the ear muff hangars. These are easily adjusted to most head sizes to create that nice comfortable fit. The sound quality is amazing between gaming system use and gets even better when use on a computer. The headset rests nicely on your head with no issues and does not feel extremely heavy, your head does not get tired over normal use. Charging does take a little bit before it is ready for gameplay or use overall, but worth the wait. The sound clarity is easily adjusted through the EQ when using on your PC without the need to make any major changes when used with your phone.

Very recomendable, it is like photos! I recommend this product.

Good quality overall worth it to buy for gaming work n etc

Bought this for my son and my husband who are both hard core gamers and they absolutely live them!
