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.

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.
