HyperX’s latest wireless headset takes the updated Cloud 3 form factor and swaps the cable for a 2.4GHz USB-C connection. Considering this is pretty much just a straight swap between a 3.5mm cable and a dongle (there’s no Bluetooth connection option here), the $70 / £70 price increase at launch raised eyebrows. These days, though, the HyperX Cloud 3 Wireless is regularly found for around $129.99 / £129.99 - not too shabby considering there’s a battery and cord-free connection under the hood.
In silo, the HyperX Cloud 3 Wireless is an impressive piece of kit, but with the Razer BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed and SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X Wireless on the shelves, the competition might be too much. I put the latest wireless option from HyperX to the test over the course of three weeks, to see just where it falls next to the best gaming headsets on the market.
