HyperX Cloud III S Wireless: immediate comfort and sound that accompanies as it should be

I'd been using the same gaming headset for years, without giving much thought to whether it was comfortable or not. They seemed functional until I tried the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless . It was like going from a pair of stiff shoes that never break in and you just resign yourself to wearing, to a pair that fit smoothly from the first moment.

The difference was immediate. The memory foam ear cushions not only offer softness to the touch, but also mold to the shape of your head firmly and without excessive pressure.

The closed circumaural design helps isolate ambient sound without the need for active cancellation - it's real, efficient passive isolation, ideal for focusing on your game or a video call without interruptions.

During long sessions, comfort becomes key, and that's where this model shines. With a total weight of approximately 358 grams, it manages to distribute its weight evenly over the head without causing fatigue. Plus, the premium synthetic leather finish on the ear cushions provides a soft and elegant feel.

These headphones are designed to deliver clear sound, with a good bass presence, defined mids, and smooth highs. Technically, they deliver a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, covering the entire human audible spectrum.

The sensitivity of 111.94±3 dBSPL at 1 kHz (1 mW) means they can reach high volume levels without perceptible distortion. This is key if you're gaming in noisy environments or looking for a fully immersive experience in a movie or video game.

The wireless experience is supported by low-latency 2.4 GHz connectivity , ideal for competitive environments where every millisecond counts. It also includes Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity , compatible with a wide range of devices and profiles (A2DP, HFP, AVRCP, among others), ensuring a stable and clear connection for calls, music, or mobile gaming.

One of the highlights of the Cloud III Wireless is the microphone. It uses an electret condenser element with a frequency response of 100 Hz to 10 kHz and a sensitivity of -42 dB, allowing it to capture your voice clearly and distinctly, minimizing ambient noise thanks to its unidirectional pattern.

It also includes a microphone monitoring feature that allows the user to hear themselves while speaking. This feature is precisely calibrated: it's non-invasive and doesn't cause echo, but it's sufficient to provide confidence that the voice is being transmitted clearly. It's ideal for both streaming and virtual meetings.

Another aspect where this model excels is its battery life: up to 120 hours of use with a 2.4 GHz connection. This figure translates to full work or gaming sessions for several days without needing to recharge. And when you do need to, the included USB-C cable allows for convenient charging without cluttering your desk.

The integrated controls allow you to adjust the volume, mute the microphone, activate monitoring, and access your phone's voice assistant. The latter is discreetly located on the back of the earpiece, a design decision that prioritizes a clean and functional aesthetic.

The HyperX Cloud III S Wireless offers an experience that combines true comfort, detailed audio quality, outstanding battery life, and multiplatform versatility. The microphone meets the demands of those working in professional environments while also playing competitive games. The commitment to wireless connectivity simplifies everyday use without sacrificing performance.

These headphones don't just deliver: they raise the bar for those who spend long hours in front of a screen and want to escape distractions. A robust and well-thought-out option that feels good from the first use.
