HyperX updates its headset line with all-new Cloud III
As HyperX’s next-generation Cloud gaming headset, the Cloud III has several upgrades over its previous-generation counterpart. This time around, HyperX is using “re-engineered” 53mm angled drivers with DTS Headphone:X technology. This allows the Cloud III to deliver “immersive and accurate” 3D audio spatialization, which can help place you in the middle of your game and give you better spatial awareness. On top of that, the plush HyperX memory foam ear cushions and extra padded headband are made for longer gaming sessions.
You’ll find that the headset includes an ultra-clear 10mm microphone with noise cancellation and an internal metal mesh pop filter to help you stay in constant contact with your teammates. You’ll also find that there are onboard audio and mic controls, and the headset utilizes 3.5mm, USB-C, and USB-A connectors to make it compatible with PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and mobile all at the same time.
Now for the smaller set of headphones that HyperX is announcing today: the Cirro Buds Pro. These are designed for those who want to game on the go and not carry around clunky over-ear headphones. With hybrid active noise cancellation technology built-in, you’ll find that they utilize Bluetooth 5.2 for a low-latency pairing to your devices. With IPX5 water-resistance, you can wear them when outside or indoors without worrying that they’ll get damaged from some sweat or rain. There’s also 35 hours of battery life per charge, and you can fully power the earbuds themselves from 0% to 100% in just 40 minutes using the included case. On top of that, there are three sets of ear tips in the package, which can help give a “personalized and secure fit” alongside three colorways to choose from.
The HyperX Cloud III Gaming Headset is available starting today direct from HyperX for $99.99, with other retailers to follow. For the HyperX Cirro Buds Pro True Wireless Earbuds, you’ll be charged $79.99, and they’re slated for availability next month.

If you were a fan of the HyperX Cloud II headset, then you’ll surely like the III. It has some solid upgrades all around, and the new drivers will make spatial audio even better in supported games.
