The HyperX Cloud Earbuds III Black are wired gaming earbuds with a 90-degree angled 3.5mm plug, made for Nintendo Switch, console controllers, phones with a headphone jack, Mac and PC. HyperX-tuned 14mm drivers handle the sound, an omnidirectional microphone on the cable handles voice chat, and four ear-tip sizes in HyperX’s patented Intra-Concha design help the fit. Being wired, there is no battery to charge and no wireless delay.

Black: The Low-Key Choice
The HyperX Cloud Earbuds III Black blend into any setup, from a Switch dock on a TV stand to a work laptop on a train, without drawing attention the way the red version does. The dark cable and housings also hide marks from daily pocket and bag use, which matters on something you carry everywhere.
If you play in public, commute with them or use them on video calls for work as well as games, black is the version that looks like ordinary earbuds rather than gaming gear.
Why the 3.5mm Plug Matters on the HyperX Cloud Earbuds III Black
This version connects with a 90-degree angled 3.5mm plug. The angle keeps the cable close against a handheld console or a controller, so it is less likely to snag or bend the jack while you play. Analogue 3.5mm needs no drivers, no USB port and no software, and there is no wireless delay between a footstep on screen and the sound in your ear.
This is the key difference from the HyperX Cloud Earbuds III S, which use a USB-C plug with built-in virtual surround. The HyperX Cloud Earbuds III Black are the universal option: they work with anything that still has a headphone jack, including controllers that offer a 3.5mm port.
14mm Drivers and Sound
Inside the HyperX Cloud Earbuds III Black, HyperX tunes 14mm drivers for strong bass and clear highs, aiming for a tonal balance that keeps in-game cues such as footsteps and reloads easy to pick out. HyperX lists a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response, a sensitivity of 108dB SPL/mW at 1kHz and total harmonic distortion of 2% or less.
Mic and Inline Controls
On the HyperX Cloud Earbuds III Black, the omnidirectional electret condenser microphone sits on the cable, so it picks up your voice for party chat or calls without a separate boom. The inline control gives a multifunction button for answering calls and pausing playback, plus a microphone mute. HyperX notes the multifunction button’s actions vary by device.
Fit, Weight and Case
HyperX uses its patented Intra-Concha ear-tip design with soft cushioning, supplied in four sizes from XS to L, with the medium pair fitted out of the box. A secure seal matters in earbuds: it improves bass and blocks outside noise at the same time. HyperX’s Middle East page lists a weight of 21.2g, and the cable weighs less than 30g. A hardshell carrying case protects the HyperX Cloud Earbuds III Black in a bag.
Who This Is Not For
Skip the HyperX Cloud Earbuds III Black if your phone has no headphone jack, as with recent iPhones and many Android flagships: you would need a USB-C or Lightning to 3.5mm adapter, and in that case the USB-C Cloud Earbuds III S are the simpler buy. There is no active noise cancellation and no virtual surround on this 3.5mm model.
HyperX does not publish the cable length or impedance on its product page, and wired earbuds mean the cable is always there, which some people find less convenient than true wireless earbuds for the gym.

FAQ
What plug do the HyperX Cloud Earbuds III Black use?
3.5mm, with a 90-degree angled plug; the USB-C version is the separate Cloud Earbuds III S.
Do they work with Nintendo Switch?
Yes. HyperX lists Nintendo Switch, and the 3.5mm plug fits the console’s headphone jack.
Do they work with an iPhone?
No, not directly on iPhones without a headphone jack; you need a 3.5mm adapter, or choose the USB-C Cloud Earbuds III S.
Do they need charging?
No. They are wired, so there is no battery and no pairing.
Can I mute the microphone?
Yes. The inline control includes a microphone mute alongside the multifunction button.
How many ear-tip sizes are included?
4 sizes, XS to L, with the medium pair fitted.
Why choose black instead of red?
