HyperX first launched the HyperX Cloud II eight years ago — and it’s been pretty popular since launch, which is why HyperX hasn’t launched a successor (though it has had some follow-ups, such as the Cloud II Wireless) until now.
The HyperX Cloud III is a wired, over-ear gaming headset with a detachable boom microphone, and it’s actually a worthy update to HyperX’s core lineup of Cloud headsets. The Cloud III doesn’t look too different from the Cloud II, but HyperX has dropped the contrast stitching on the headband for a more upscale (and less aggressively gamer) aesthetic. The new headset comes in an all-black colorway as well as a black and red colorway, which features red forks and red logos on the earcups.
