Product details
- Comfort is King: Comfort’s in the Cloud III’s DNA. Built for gamers who can’t have an uncomfortable headset ruin the flow of their full-combo, disrupt their speedrun, or knocking them out of the zone.
- Audio Tuned for Your Entertainment: Angled 53mm drivers have been tuned by HyperX audio engineers to provide the optimal listening experience that accents the dynamic sounds of gaming.
- Upgraded Microphone for Clarity and Accuracy: Captures high-quality audio for clear voice chat and calls. The mic is noise-cancelling and features a built-in mesh filter to omit disruptive sounds and LED mic mute indicator lets you know when you’re muted.
- Durability, for the Toughest of Battles: The headset is flexible and features an aluminum frame so it’s resilient against travel, accidents, mishaps, and your ‘level-headed’ reactions to losses and defeat screens.
- DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio: A lifetime activation of DTS Spatial Audio will help amp up your audio advantage and immersion with its precise sound localization and virtual 3D sound stage.

An incredibly comfortable headset with a surprisingly crisp microphone, the HyperX Cloud III is a reliable, no-frills option for PC and consoles. But, with a hefty price bump and the Cloud Alpha offering better audio at the same price, it’s not the instant hit it could have been.

The HyperX Cloud III isn’t made to be the gaming headset to end all gaming headsets, but it’s a great value option at $100. It’s built to last, can support a wide range of platforms, and will deliver solid audio out of the drivers and in through the mic. If you’re not after bells and whistles, you can’t go wrong here.

The Cloud III is an excellent new option, comfortable and lightweight with a nice design and excellent battery life, all at a very sensible price point.
