Wired headset for PC and consoles
The HyperX Cloud III is a wired gaming headset with a 3.5 mm jack and supplied USB-C and USB-A adapters. Angled 53 mm drivers deliver a frequency response up to 20000 Hz at 64 ohm impedance and 100 dB sensitivity. It works with PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Mac.
Passive thermals and no active noise cancellation
The oval memory-foam ear cushions wrapped in leatherette provide passive isolation without active noise cancellation. A lightweight 308 g aluminium frame reduces clamping pressure during long sessions. No battery or software-controlled cooling is present, so the headset draws no power and adds no audible fan noise.
Lifetime DTS Spatial Audio and on-earcup controls
A lifetime activation code for DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio enables virtual 3D sound staging for supported games. The detachable 10 mm microphone includes a built-in mesh filter, noise-cancelling circuitry and an LED mute indicator. Volume and mute controls sit on the earcup for quick adjustments without opening system menus.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the 3.5 mm jack on the HyperX Cloud III Black and what is the common mistake?
Plug the 3.5 mm jack into your controller or PC audio port; the 1.2 m cable reaches most setups, but the step users miss is toggling the inline mute switch if the mic stays silent.
Which parts of the HyperX Cloud III Black will need replacement first?
The leatherette ear cushions and headband padding compress over time; the memory foam cannot be restored, so plan to swap the oval cushions when they lose seal or comfort.
At what point does the 64 ohm impedance limit volume during long sessions?
The 64 ohm load is modest, but on low-power Switch or mobile outputs the 100 dB sensitivity ceiling appears first, capping loudness before the drivers distort.
