6. BEST WIRED ALL-ROUNDER
HyperX Cloud III Wired
Who it is for. A PC, PS5 or Xbox Series player who wants the wired Cloud III in black and red, not the wireless Cloud III S.
Checked the Amazon.co.uk listing B0C3BV19Q3 on 15 October 2026. The title is the wired HyperX Cloud III in black and red, for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It names angled 53 mm drivers, DTS, memory foam, a durable frame, a 10 mm microphone, and USB-C, USB-A and 3.5 mm connections. Bullets name memory foam wrapped in leatherette, a noise-cancelling microphone with a mute light, DTS spatial audio, and a metal frame. This is not the wireless Cloud III S.
It is number 6 because it is wired, so it does not do the 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth jobs of the five headsets above. The title still names PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, plus USB-C, USB-A and a 3.5 mm jack, angled 53 mm drivers and a 10 mm microphone. That set of plugs is why it leads the wired group. The Nova 1 below is a 3.5 mm jack only. This is not the wireless Cloud III S.

Advantages
- The title names PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on one wired headset, with USB-C, USB-A and a 3.5 mm jack.
- Angled 53 mm drivers, a 10 mm microphone, DTS and a metal frame are written on the listing.
Disadvantages
- There is no 2.4 GHz dongle and no Bluetooth in the title, so it cannot replace the wireless sets above.
- This is the wired Cloud III. Do not confuse it with the wireless Cloud III S, which is a different model and is not in this lineup.
