The HyperX Cloud III Black-Red is the wired HyperX Cloud III in the brand’s classic colour scheme: a black headset with red accents, the look HyperX has used on its Cloud headsets for years. HyperX lists it as part number 727A9AA. The Cloud III is the successor to the Cloud II, keeping the memory foam comfort and metal frame while adding angled 53mm drivers, an upgraded 10mm microphone with an LED mute light and controls on the earcup. It connects by 3.5mm, USB-A or USB-C, so one headset covers a PC, a console, a Mac and a phone.

Why the black-red colourway
Black-red is HyperX’s signature look, and the HyperX Cloud III Black-Red is the choice for players who want their headset to match a red-lit keyboard, a red-accented gaming chair or a PC case with red fans. The black base hides scuffs and fingerprints, and the red details add character without the full brightness of a white headset. It is also the colourway most people recognise as a HyperX Cloud, which matters if you stream or post clips and want the gear on camera to read clearly as gaming equipment. It ages well: black leatherette and red accents look tidy after months of daily use.
Angled 53mm drivers
HyperX gives the HyperX Cloud III Black-Red 53mm dynamic drivers with neodymium magnets, angled toward the ear for what it calls an optimal listening experience, and tuned by its audio engineers to accent the dynamic sounds of games. The official frequency response is 10Hz to 21kHz, sensitivity is 100dB SPL/mW at 1kHz and THD is under 2%. The over-ear, closed-back cups seal out room noise. HyperX also advertises immersive spatial audio on PC; on consoles, expect the console’s own audio processing.
10mm mic with LED mute and earcup controls
The detachable microphone uses a 10mm electret condenser capsule with a uni-directional, noise-cancelling pattern, a built-in mesh filter and a sensitivity of -42dBV. HyperX says it captures clear voice chat and calls. An LED on the mic shows when you are muted, which saves the classic mistake of talking to a muted channel. Volume and mic mute sit on the earcup of the HyperX Cloud III Black-Red, so you do not need to open console or game menus to change them mid-match.
USB-C, USB-A and 3.5mm
With the HyperX Cloud III Black-Red, HyperX includes a USB dongle and a USB-C to USB-A adapter. Plug the dongle into a PC, Mac, PS5 or a USB-C phone or tablet for USB audio at 16-bit or 24-bit, or use the 3.5mm plug on a controller, a Nintendo Switch or any device with a headphone jack. HyperX lists the headset cable at 3.93 ft (about 1.2 m) and the USB dongle cable at 4.26 ft (about 1.3 m). HyperX lists compatibility with PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Mac and mobile.
Build and the rest, in brief
HyperX describes a flexible headset with a full metal frame built to survive travel and accidents, with HyperX signature memory foam in the headband and ear cushions covered in leatherette. The weight is 0.67 lb (about 304 g) without the mic and 0.70 lb (about 318 g) with it. The HyperX Cloud III Black-Red box holds the headset, detachable mic, USB dongle, USB-C to USB-A adapter and a quick start guide.
Who This Is Not For
The HyperX Cloud III Black-Red is wired only, with no Bluetooth or wireless dongle; HyperX sells the Cloud III Wireless and Cloud III S Wireless for that. It has no active noise cancellation and no RGB lighting. Spatial audio is advertised for PC, not consoles. The leatherette cushions can feel warm in long summer sessions, and no spare velour cushions are listed in the box.
