Angled 53mm Drivers

Unlike conventional straight-facing drivers, the Cloud III drivers are angled and tuned by HyperX to provide an optimized listening experience for gaming and entertainment.

Headphone Specifications

• Driver Size: 53mm
• Driver Type: Dynamic, Neodymium
• Frequency Response: 10Hz–21kHz
• Impedance: 64Ω
• Sensitivity: 100dBSPL/mW at 1kHz
• T.H.D.: <2%
• Design: Over-Ear / Circumaural / Closed-Back

DTS Headphone Spatial Audio

The HyperX Cloud III supports DTS Headphone Spatial Audio, providing virtual spatial processing for a more immersive listening experience on supported PC setups.

Spatial audio can help create a greater sense of direction and positioning in games, making it particularly useful for:

• FPS Games
• Competitive Gaming
• Action Games
• RPGs
• Open-World Games
• Movies & Entertainment

DTS Headphone is a virtual spatial-audio technology and does not mean the headset contains multiple discrete physical surround speakers.

Upgraded 10mm Microphone

The Cloud III features an upgraded 10mm detachable boom microphone designed to capture clearer voice communication.

The microphone is unidirectional and noise-cancelling, with a built-in mesh filter designed to help reduce unwanted disruptive sounds.

An LED mute indicator provides a clear visual indication when the microphone is muted.

Microphone Specifications

• Microphone Included: Yes
• Microphone Size: 10mm
• Type: Detachable Boom
• Element: Electret Condenser
• Polar Pattern: Unidirectional
• Noise Cancellation: Yes
• Frequency Response: 50Hz–17kHz
• Sensitivity: -42dBV

Onboard Audio Controls

Controls located directly on the headset provide quick access to essential functions.

You can:

• Adjust headphone volume
• Mute / unmute the microphone
• Check microphone mute status through the LED indicator

This reduces the need to open game or operating-system menus for basic adjustments.

HyperX Signature Comfort

The Cloud III continues the comfort-focused design of the Cloud series with HyperX signature memory foam in the ear cushions and headband.

Premium leatherette wraps the ear cushions, while the circumaural over-ear design provides a comfortable fit for extended gaming sessions.

Durable Metal Construction

The Cloud III uses a durable metal frame construction designed to withstand regular gaming and transportation.

Despite its strong construction, the headset weighs approximately:

• 308g without microphone
• 320g with microphone

3.5mm + USB-C + USB-A Connectivity

One of the Cloud III's major advantages is its versatile wired connectivity.

The headset supports:

• 3.5mm 4-Pole CTIA
• USB-C
• USB-A through the included adapter

This allows the same headset to be used across a wide range of computers, consoles, and mobile devices.

Important DTS Headphone Note

DTS Headphone provides virtual spatial audio rather than true multi-driver hardware surround sound.

DTS functionality and other USB audio features depend on the connected platform, software, and connection method.

Important Compatibility Note

The Cloud III is broadly compatible because it offers 3.5mm, USB-C, and USB-A connectivity, but not every platform supports every feature through every connection.

For example, some consoles may use the headset primarily through the 3.5mm controller connection, while USB audio features depend on platform support.

Important Note – Open Sealed

This product is listed as Open Sealed, meaning the original packaging has been opened.

Before publishing or sale, verify the individual unit's headset condition, detachable microphone, USB dongle, USB-C to USB-A adapter, cables, packaging condition, included accessories, and warranty details.
