HyperX's Cloud III is one of the best gaming headsets we've tested — it's lightweight and super comfortable, with redesigned, angled 53mm dynamic drivers that deliver great directional sound and let you hear all the details in complex game environments. The wireless version — the Cloud III Wireless — is also lightweight, comfortable, and sounds great, but it only connects one way: 2.4GHz wireless. There's no Bluetooth option, nor is there an analog option, which is pretty limiting — especially at its retail price of $170.
I hope that means you waited for HyperX to come out with a wireless version of the Cloud III that can be paired with more than one device, because it's here: the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless, which features both 2.4-GHz wireless and Bluetooth connectivity (and also works with HP's Instant Pair feature built into select HP Omen laptops). The new headset is extremely similar to its predecessor, but it's got a handful of new features to make it more Bluetooth-friendly — including a built-in mic in addition to the detachable boom mic and a multi-function button for answering phone calls and skipping tracks. It also has removable speaker plates, for when you want to... replace them with something snazzier (though what, exactly, that might be has yet to launch — HyperX has shown some 3D-printed concepts but hasn't confirmed anything).
