The HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Black is the all-black version of HyperX’s updated Cloud III wireless headset, which adds Bluetooth to the 2.4GHz connection and stretches the battery much further. HyperX quotes up to 120 hours on 2.4GHz and up to 200 hours on Bluetooth, tested at 50% volume with continuous playback, and keeps the Cloud line’s memory-foam comfort, 53mm angled drivers and metal frame.

Why Choose the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Black
Black is the understated option in a range that also includes White, Black-Red, Lavender, Black-Blue and White-Pink. The all-black headband, forks and earcups sit quietly on a desk full of dark peripherals and look equally at home on a commute with the boom mic removed. Skin oil and dust on the leatherette and headband are much less visible than on the White version, so it keeps looking new with less wiping.
HyperX also designed the earcup plates to be removable, so you can personalise the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Black later with different plates to match your setup, without changing the whole headset.
Battery: 120 Hours on 2.4GHz, 200 on Bluetooth
For the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Black, HyperX tested battery life at 50% headphone volume with continuous playback: up to 120 hours over the 2.4GHz dongle and up to 200 hours over Bluetooth. At a few hours of gaming a day, that is weeks between charges. A full charge takes about 5 hours through the USB-C cable, and HyperX notes that maximum battery capacity naturally decreases with time and use.
Three Ways to Connect
Use the 2.4GHz wireless dongle for low-latency play on PC, PS5, PS4 or Nintendo Switch; HyperX includes both USB-C and USB-A options so it fits consoles, laptops and phones. Switch to Bluetooth 5.3 for your phone or tablet, with a range of up to 20 metres and SBC or AAC codecs. The third option, Instant Pair, connects without the dongle, but only to select HP OMEN gaming laptops.
A wireless mode selector on the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Black earcup flips between modes, next to a volume wheel, a mute button and a multi-function button for media and calls.
53mm Angled Drivers and Two Microphones
The HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Black uses 53mm dynamic drivers with neodymium magnets, angled towards the ear and tuned by HyperX’s audio engineers to bring out positional cues such as footsteps. HyperX lists a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response, 24-bit playback over USB and total harmonic distortion under 2%.
For voice, the detachable 10mm boom mic is uni-directional with a built-in mesh filter and an LED mute indicator, and it works in both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth modes. Remove it and the headset falls back to built-in MEMS microphones for calls on the go.
Comfort and Build
On the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Black, memory foam in the headband and ear cushions is wrapped in soft leatherette, and the frame is stainless steel with aluminium forks, which HyperX says makes it resilient against travel knocks and daily wear. The headset weighs 340 g without the boom mic. Tune the sound in HyperX NGENUITY software on PC.
Who This Is Not For
There is no active noise cancellation, so it will not silence a flight cabin. HyperX’s written specification and description do not mention DTS Headphone:X, so we do not list it as a feature of the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Black. Xbox is not in HyperX’s compatibility list, and the spec sheet lists no 3.5 mm wired connection. Closed leatherette cushions can feel warm during long sessions in a hot room, and Instant Pair only works with select OMEN laptops.
