Overview
The HyperX Cloud III is a wired gaming headset for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, built around angled 53mm drivers, memory foam padding and an aluminum frame, with a noise-cancelling 10mm microphone.
It follows the Cloud II, keeping the memory foam comfort HyperX built a reputation on while retuning the drivers with an angled placement meant to better match ear geometry. Connection options cover USB-C, USB-A and 3.5mm, so the same headset moves across a gaming PC and current-generation consoles without an adapter.
- Angled 53mm drivers tuned for gaming
- Memory foam headband and ear cushions
- Noise-cancelling 10mm mic with LED mute indicator
- USB-C, USB-A and 3.5mm connections
Who it's for
Fits someone who splits time between PC and console and wants one wired headset that plugs into either without extra hardware. It is not for anyone wanting a wireless setup, since every connection option here is a cable.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Memory foam headband and ear cushions for long sessions
- Works across PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S via USB-C, USB-A or 3.5mm
- Noise-cancelling mic with mesh filter and LED mute indicator
- Aluminum frame for durability
- Wired only, no wireless option
- Requires the right port (USB-C, USB-A or 3.5mm) on each device
Performance notes
The 53mm drivers sit at an angle rather than facing straight in, which HyperX tunes to line up more directly with the ear canal. The 10mm microphone adds a mesh filter to cut plosives and background noise, with an LED that lights when it is muted, and the aluminum frame is built to flex under everyday handling rather than crack.
