The HyperX Cloud Earbuds III bring the signature comfort and audio tuning of HyperX’s Cloud headset line into a pocket-ready wired earbud — built for gaming on the go across Nintendo Switch, handhelds, console controllers, PC and Mac. Instead of chasing wireless features, HyperX doubled down on what a wired gaming earbud does best: zero-latency audio through a 90-degree angled 3.5mm plug, HyperX-tuned 14.3mm dynamic drivers that keep footsteps and directional cues legible without a sound card, and a patented Intra-Concha ear tip design in four sizes that rests in the outer ear rather than pressing deep into the canal. At 21.2 grams with a cable lighter than 30 grams, they disappear in use and pack into the included hardshell case when the session ends. This is the Red version, brand new and sealed in original HyperX retail packaging, dispatched from our UK warehouse.
HyperX-Tuned 14.3mm Drivers
Rich, Balanced Game Audio
The Cloud Earbuds III use 14.3mm dynamic drivers tuned by HyperX for the same balance the Cloud headset family is known for: powerful bass that gives explosions and engines weight, clear highs that keep footsteps and reloads legible, and a controlled midrange for voice chat and streams. Frequency response spans 20 Hz–20 kHz with 108 dB SPL/mW sensitivity and a 32-ohm impedance, so they run at full volume from a phone, Switch or controller jack without an amplifier — and the tonal balance is deliberately kept even, so directional in-game cues sit exactly where competitive players expect them rather than being drowned by boosted bass.
Intra-Concha Comfort
4 Tip Sizes, All-Day Fit
Standard canal earbuds create pressure that builds over a long session. HyperX’s patented Intra-Concha ear tip design rests in the concha — the outer bowl of the ear — relieving that pressure while keeping a stable, secure fit. Four silicone tip sizes from XS to L are included (medium preinstalled), so each ear gets a proper match. Because the seal is deliberately not airtight, a controlled amount of ambient sound passes through: you stay aware of announcements, doorbells and travel surroundings without pausing the game. At 21.2 grams total, the earbuds weigh a fraction of a full-size headset.
Zero-Latency Wired
Plug, Go, Play — Any Device
The 90-degree angled 3.5mm TRRS plug is designed for handheld gaming — it sits flat against a Switch or phone, resisting snags and pulls. Connection is true plug-and-play across PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, console controllers and any device with a 3.5mm jack: no pairing, no batteries, no dropped connections and zero wireless lag between the game and your ears. The in-line control houses an omnidirectional electret mic, a multifunction button and a mic mute switch, so you can answer calls, control playback and mute yourself instantly without reaching for the device.
Right choice if you…
✔ Game on Nintendo Switch, handhelds or console controllers with a 3.5mm jack
✔ Want zero-latency audio — wired means no Bluetooth delay between game and ear
✔ Find a full-size headset too heavy or hot for long or mobile sessions
✔ Need a working in-line mic for party chat and calls
✔ Want a hardshell case in the box so the earbuds survive a backpack
Look elsewhere if you…
✖ Need a wireless or Bluetooth connection — these are wired 3.5mm only
✖ Your device has no 3.5mm jack and you don’t want to use a USB-C adapter
✖ Want active noise cancellation — isolation here is passive and deliberately light
✖ Prefer an over-ear headset with a boom mic for competitive PC voice comms

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Cloud Earbuds III work with PS5 and Xbox?
Yes — through the 3.5mm jack on the DualSense or Xbox controller. Plug the earbuds into the controller and both game audio and the in-line microphone work for party chat. The same applies to any controller or handheld with a standard 3.5mm headset jack.
Will they work with a phone that has no headphone jack?
Yes, with a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter (not included). The plug is a standard 4-pole CTIA TRRS, which is what phone adapters expect — audio and microphone both pass through a compliant adapter.
What is the difference between the Cloud Earbuds III and the Cloud Earbuds II?
The Cloud Earbuds III are the 2026 generation: larger 14.3mm drivers (vs 14mm tuning of the II), the new patented Intra-Concha tip design in four sizes rather than three, an added mic mute on the in-line control, and a hardshell case in the box. Both are wired 3.5mm.
What is the difference between this and the Cloud Earbuds III S?
The Cloud Earbuds III S is the USB-C version with digital audio and mic noise suppression. This model — the Cloud Earbuds III — is the analogue 3.5mm version: maximum compatibility with Switch, controllers and any 3.5mm jack, with zero-latency analogue audio and no drivers or software needed.
Is this a genuine sealed retail unit?
Yes. This is a brand new HyperX Cloud Earbuds III in Red in original sealed HyperX retail packaging, covered by the standard 2-year HyperX manufacturer warranty, dispatched from our UK warehouse with tracked delivery.
