The HyperX Cloud III Wireless headset is a strong showing, but the shift in price from the wired model is a huge leap and puts it into tough terrain. It may have a major edge in battery life against most wireless competitors, including the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7, but that headset offers substantially more capability in every other way for a nearly equal price. The battery life is also a huge downgrade from the remarkably similar Cloud Alpha Wireless. You won’t be getting a bad headset with the Cloud III Wireless, but it just doesn’t stand out as much as it needs to.
