HyperX Cloud III Gaming Headset Unveiled at Computex

At the 2023 Computex, HyperX unveiled the latest addition to the iconic Cloud line of gaming headsets that practically set the brand up as a leading gaming headset manufacturer. The new HyperX Cloud III is a successor to 2015s Cloud II, and comes with several design and feature improvements. The headset builds on the characteristic that made the original HyperX Cloud popular—comfort during lengthy gaming sessions. The company is using an upgraded earcup design, a newer generation of memory foam, and a premium leatherette. It uses 53 mm neodymium drivers, and an upgraded mic, including an all new mic stock design. The headset supports three wired interfaces, including 4-pole 3.5 mm analog, USB type-A, and USB type-C. When used in USB mode, you get additional LED effects, and can take advantage of certain DAC-level DSPs, such as DTS Headphone X. The headphones provide 10 Hz to 21 kHz frequency response, with <2% THD. The mic uses an elecrtet condenser element, is uni-directional, and has a -42 dBV sensitivity. HyperX is pricing the wired HyperX Cloud III at USD $99.99.

Easy, just buy some aftermarket cloth ones! I recently picked up a Cloud II Wireless headset and didn't like the stock pads at all. So I found some extra cushiony (thick) mesh cloth ones (and a headband cover for the leatherette headband) and couldn't be happier with the headset.

I agree with you, but for $100 you shouldn't have to do that.

There are other options in this price range imo that do a great job and no need for after market purchases.
