    Design & Comfort The Cloud III S Wireless nails long-wear comfort with HyperX’s signature memory-foam ear cushions and premium leatherette headband. I spent over five hours straight in a marathon session without any pinching or hotspots. The aluminum-reinforced frame feels robust yet flexible, surviving the shuffle between desk and couch without a scratch. The detachable magnetic earcup plates add a fun personalization touch, though you’ll need to buy them separately if you want variety. Battery Life & Connectivity This headset delivers up to 120 hours of continuous play. I charged once and forgot about the battery for a full week of evening sessions. Switching between 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and Instant Pair with select OMEN laptops is seamless, letting me hop from PC to phone calls without a dongle swap. Instant Pair works flawlessly on my OMEN system, though it isn’t supported on other laptops. Audio Performance Equipped with 53 mm angled drivers tuned by HyperX engineers, the Cloud III S serves crisp highs and punchy mids that make explosions and in-game chatter pop. Activating the lifetime DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio on PC transformed my awareness—footsteps and distant gunfire felt like they were coming from precise coordinates. Gaming, music, and even YouTube streams all carried a clarity and depth I didn’t expect from a wireless headset. Microphone & Communication The detachable 10 mm boom mic boasts an LED mute indicator and mesh filter that cancelled out background noise during squad calls. My teammates praised the clarity, and the boom-less mode’s internal mics handled voice chats decently when I didn’t need full broadcast quality. The plug-and-play setup meant no software fuss—just click to mute, adjust levels, and keep talking. Controls & Customization All media and connection controls are on the right earcup: a wireless-mode switch, volume wheel, mute button, and multifunction key. It took seconds to learn each control’s tactile feel—no fumbling mid-match. I swapped between music tracks, silenced incoming calls, and toggled wireless modes on the fly, which felt genuinely intuitive. Compatibility Whether you’re on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Mac, mobile, or any Bluetooth-enabled device, this headset covers it. HyperX includes both USB-C and USB-A adapters, ensuring I never scrambled for an extra dongle. Console gamers and multitaskers will appreciate the universal support. Pros & Cons Pros: --Exceptional 120 h (2.4 GHz) / 200 h (Bluetooth) battery life --DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio with lifetime activation --HyperX memory-foam comfort for marathon sessions --Sturdy yet lightweight aluminum frame Cons: --Instant Pair limited to select OMEN laptops --Magnetic earcup plates sold separately --Slight warmth after extremely long sessions Verdict HyperX’s Cloud III S Wireless strikes a remarkably balanced blend of comfort, battery endurance, and audio performance. I found myself relying on its wireless freedom across work-from-home calls and late-night raids without compromise. If you demand marathon-ready comfort, pinpoint audio cues, and versatile connectivity—while accepting a couple of minor caveats—this headset stands out as a top contender in its price class.

    HyperX - Cloud III S Wireless Gaming Headset is awesome. Been using this for the past month and the sound is great and feels good on the ears and over the head. Boxing/packaging very colorful and very well packed to prevent any issues with damage. Easy to setup and add to my PS5. Plugged in the USB stick and turned on the headset. It was flawless. Microphone is very clear and was able to communicate with other online players without fail. Very impressed with the flexibility of the microphone to move it up and out of my way when I wasn't using it. Everything about this headset feels quality. The magnetic covers over the actual ear pieces was genius. Very lightweight doesn't feel fatigued after wearing them for a few hours. The ability to adjust for a large head or a smaller head is very easy and smooth. The logo and color is very impressive. The materials on the headset has alot of cushion so rest against the top of my head without hurting or feeling pressed against my head. I like the ability to place it in the storage bag when not using it and hanging them on a hook in my game room so I know where they are at all times.

    I really like HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Gaming Headset for many reasons. It looks great, I like the bright red popping on the black. The headset plates are customizable if I want to change the look sometime or can be replaced with the same pattern if I were to damage them in some way. It's light and comfortable on my head. It stays in place as I move my head around. The ear cups are snug without pressure, soft against my ears. I can wear it for hours with no discomfort. Connection was quick and easy. The detachable mic works well, is loud and clear on both ends of gaming, chats and phone calls. The control buttons are easy to find and adjust. DTS gives the absolute best sound. I know exactly which direction footsteps, leaves rustling, growling, and everything else in a game is coming from. There is no lag in the sound. These are not noise cancelling so I can stay aware of what's going on around me while still being immersed in a game, listening to music, or on a phone call. They are good choice for gaming, chatting, listening to music or watching shows without disturbing anyone.

    The Truly Perfect Choice!!

    I am writing this review for the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Gaming Headphones If you're looking for a wireless headset that nails the important things—comfort, battery life, intuitive controls, and rock-solid build quality—the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless is an easy recommendation. It doesn’t try to be flashy; it just quietly delivers. The first thing I want to point out is one of HyperX’s main selling points for the Cloud III – battery life. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Depending on which mode you use (Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless), you can get up to 200 hours on a single charge! Even at the lower 120 on the wireless, that’s over a month between charging times! Yes, if you spend a serious amount of time gaming each day, you’re probably looking at every two weeks. But still, when my other brands of headphones have to be charged two or three times each week (or more) that’s one heck of an advantage! This is easily one of the main reasons to consider the HyperX Cloud II S wireless headphones! Another strong point is the relieving lack of RGB! I do like lights, but during gaming the flashing keyboard, mouse, PC tower or laptop…it all gets pretty distracting. Well, to me. It makes gaming more of a circus experience than a serious out-to-win experience. So I am happy with the “minimalist” approach HyperX took to designing its headphones. I’m not so sure about the removeable earcup plates, though. I understand about making your stuff your own unique standout, but there is a cost involved. Customized plates from HyperX will run around $50. Third party customization? Your wallet is the limit. It’s great that we have a choice, though! Another sort-of-minimalist approach I like is the limited number of on-headset controls. Seems like everything computer & gaming has a ton of different controls you have to memorize. With an On/Off switch, Volume wheel, Wireless/Bluetooth switch, Mic Mute and Mic Monitoring. Let me expand on the microphone monitoring… It’s another crazy amazing selling point of the HyperX! Like a lot of my online friends, I tend to shout because I can’t hear my voice on other headphones. But with the HyperX mic monitoring, I can hear my own voice via real time audio loopback…so I always know how loud I am. It just makes the whole experience a thousand times better. I will say this… like a lot of other people point out, the bass on the HyperX is marginal at best. There are times during game play, or even using the headphones to listen to music that the lack of a deep sonorous bass sound is disappointing. I’m not disappointed with the reasoning however. First, you have to remember these are gaming headphones. Most games require a certain amount of awareness of the environment. With deep bass from explosions, gunshots or what have you, other movements can become “lost” in all the noise. Again, these are gaming headphones specifically designed for that purpose. Although disappointing in some respects, I am more appreciative of the lack of bass so that my gaming experiences are more crystalline and sharp. Finally, the comfort! These are the absolute most comfortable headphones you will ever wear. Soft, no pressure to speak of, and did I mention how soft they are? I have walked around most of a day with these headphones on, and experienced ZERO discomfort on any level. HyperX knows what they are doing to make the gaming experience not only more immersive, but comfortable as well. Final Thoughts: It is clear that the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Gaming Headphones are a true winner here. Great looks, AMAZING battery life, long-wearing comfort…all of these blend to make the Cloud III S wireless headphones an easy choice. Well actually, just about the only choice when it comes to performance and value! I have already begun recommending these headphones to just about everyone. These really are the perfect choice.

    Consistant Quality Headsets

    I have had and continue to have many numerous headphones, currently I rotate between 3 different ones throughout the week for various reasons. Having owned the original HyperX Cloud Core headset about 6 years ago (still have it to be honest), I couldnt help but wonder if they have improved on the series or if they ended up being worse (cheaply made). Opening the box and getting these unpacked, I couldn't of been happier to see that the first impression of the headset reminds me 100% of the originals, mind you these are wireless and the cores were wired, but the overall look feels the same, being as they both come from the Cloud series I like that they kept the overall feel of them. After the initial inspections of the headset, it immediately feels of better quality, it almost feels like they have used a tuffer (heavy duty) material to produce this headset. I don't feel like it would break very easiely if sat on or accidentally stepped on. The audio quality of these compared to the originals also feels improved, I feel like the bass is a little better and the clarity of some of the audio packs I tested were more spot on to the way I would expect things to sound, during game play. This wireless unit has both a dongle for wireless and bluetooth connectivity like many of the other headphones out there, this unit toutes having a 120 (wireless)-200 (bluetooth) hour battery life which seems really good. The mic as like the originals is removable, and doing some backwards testing, honestly sounds better than the original, not entirely sure what they did here since the first one but it does feel like a good improvement. The unit also features built in omni-directional mic for bluetooth. One of the things the original did that kept me using them for so long was provide good cushioning for my ears, it wasn't too snug and it wasn't too loose, and these so far seem to extend on that original feel, the pads are nice and cushy, feels like memory foam, but the leather type material used just feels right, some of my other headsets can feel almost like they used a tee shirt or almost a thin quilt instead of a good lasting material, these definitely feel good on my ears. If I had to choose a few things that I could dislike about this headset, based on other headsets that I own, features. I could only think of 2, the first one being the earpads are stationary, other headsets i have rotate/turn left or right, while there is no benefit to normal use of these headsets having this feature, for me personally, i like being able to turn one of my earpads so i free up an ear to hear whats going on in my house or if someone is talking to me, makes for a quick listen as opposed to removing the headset, again this is just a hard picked gripe. The second being the weight of this product, I have neck problems and the older I get, I find the heavier a headset is in longer gaming sessions, I can wake up the next day with a sore neck. With that being said, this unit does weigh quite a bit more than some of my other headsets, I almost think this one weighs slightly more than the original. But again as I have stated these are mere personal gripes not actual issues with the product, I think you start to sacrifice quality when making things lighter, so being I enjoy the tuffness of this series of headsets, I can live with the very little extra weight they have, just to know they will last alot longer in the lifetime of them. With all of that said, I would recommend this wireless headset to anyone looking for a solid, good sounding headset. This brand has been around for awhile and as i have mentioned i still have the original of this series, if that says anything about the brand I think it would be longevity is key here and the fact that they continue to make great headsets years later is safe to say this headset will be no different and I'll still be using it for years to come.

    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.

    The HyperX Cloud 3 wireless headset is great option for gamers who want excellent sound, comfort and an overall high-quality product. The overall setup process was fairly straight forward. You can basically just plug in the USB dongle and be up and running. I do most of my gaming on PC so I typically like to see what the software has to offer. In this case, it is the HyperX Ngenuity software. I like to tweak the sound profile to my liking and update any drivers or firmware that the device may need. The software is easy to use, however, to get DTS to work I had to go through a process of downloading another application, DTS Unbound. Not the ideal situation but I got everything working in a few minutes after having to research the issue. The sound quality is great and immersive. After playing various FPS games, and a lot of Dune: Awakening, I can tell this headset will be my daily driver for the foreseeable future. The main things I look for in a head set is sound quality, mic quality, volume level and comfort. This headset checks all the boxes for me. After about 5 hours of continuous use, I didn't have any pressure points or discomfort. The mic is quality and the battery is great too. It would have been nice to have a longer USB-C cable. The cable that is included is pretty short which is kind of a bummer. Other than that I am very please with this headset and recommend it 100%!

    HyperX headsets have a storied history of excellence, and the Cloud III S Wireless is another excellent chapter in that legacy. The headset is extremely comfortable, this is a headset you can use for hours and have no issues at all. The sound quality is what you have come to expect from HyperX, and it is excellent. Perfect for gaming with the clear highs and deep lows you crave, as well as amazing 3D sound that ensures you can find any enemy lurking around. Music and movies are great as well, and that makes this an amazing all around headset for whatever your day might look like! I also love the versatility, this headset works seamlessly across PC, console, and mobile systems with no issues at all. Battery life is another strong point of the Cloud III S headset, I use this night after night and never run out of power when I need it the most. The detachable microphone is also very nice, this is a must have feature for me. The microphone quality is also very good, everyone says the audio comes through very clear during gaming sessions and even work calls. The only thing I wish this headset had is ANC which is becoming more prevalent in gaming headsets, but maybe we will get that with the Cloud IIII! Definitely still a 5 star experience with the HyperX Cloud III S and I highly recommend them for gamers and tech enthusiasts!

    I have been a fan of HyperX products and this product is just another reason for that. The Cloud III S Wireless Gaming Headsets are what you would expect from a superior gaming headset company....excellent build quality, excellent sound, excellent microphone, and superior comfort for long gaming sessions. I also love how the wires in the set are braided which is just a nice touch of quality. This headset is compatible with the PC, PS5, PS4 Switch and so on and I have personally tested it with the Switch and PS5 and it works like a dream. I am not one to use the microphone and love that I can add or remove the microphone as often as i want to use them as regular gaming headphones. Battery life is advertised up to 200 hours and while I have not gamed for that long (roughly 20 hours) I have not had an issue with battery or a need to charge the headsets. The spatial audio output with these headphones is fantastic and while I do not have to game with headphones, I have tended to use these for every gaming session because of the comfort and audio sound. I also am really impressed with the durability of the headphones which are really malleable. Overall, great product and I highly recommend it for gamers.

    Like the title says the dongle failed when I went to use the headset today. You cannot purchase a replacement dongle. Not even from HyperX. I can connect it to my pc using bluetooth but I need to use it on multiple computers. To do so I have to turn off bluetooth on all but the computer I need to use it on instead of just moving the USB dongle from pc to pc.

    I do a lot of online PC and PlayStation gaming, and this headset works great in both situations. When using with a PC, you can either connect easily to the included doogle or via bluetooth. I was able to effortlessly connect to my PS5 Pro as well with the dongle. Just make sure you have the switch set to correct mode. Charge time is not bad, and the battery life is amazing. I should only have to charge around every 2 weeks or so with moderate use. Comfort wise it excels, and I have no issue with using during long gaming sessions. The headband is well padded and supports the weight of the headset effortlessly. The earmuffs are soft and do not get too hot. You even have the option of switching at the earpieces if you desire. The mic is well positioned and picks up your voice well. It adjusts well and others are able to hear clearly. The style and color goes well with most modern gaming setups. The red highlights are bright and compliment the black. I plan to utilize these as my primary headset and will only use another while these are charging, which is infrequent.
