    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Unfortunately, I had to return them because Ithey wouldn’t connect to my PS5. I’m sure there is a way to connect them but I got frustrated trying to figure it out,and for the price they should be able to connect without any problems. They are pretty though..

    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.
