Angled 53mm Drivers for Gaming

The HyperX Cloud III 727A9AA is a wired gaming headset built with angled 53mm dynamic drivers tuned by HyperX audio engineers. It targets players who want a single headset that works across PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Mac and mobile devices. The circumaural design uses memory foam ear cushions and an aluminum frame to keep long sessions comfortable. A 10mm ultra-clear microphone with a built-in mesh filter handles voice chat.

Passive Noise Isolation and Wired Power

Passive noise cancelling blocks ambient sound without active electronics, so there is no battery to charge and no added hiss. The 64 ohm impedance and 100dB sensitivity at 1kHz mean the headset reaches loud volumes from a standard controller or motherboard jack. Frequency response spans 10Hz to 21kHz, covering deep bass and high detail. The microphone sensitivity sits at -42dBV, capturing clear speech while the LED mute indicator shows status at a glance.

Aluminum Frame and Multi-Connector Flexibility

A flexible aluminum frame resists bending during travel or intense reactions, while the memory foam headband distributes weight evenly at 0.67lb without the microphone and 0.70lb with it. Connectivity covers USB-C, USB-A and 3.5mm via the included USB dongle and cables measuring 3.93ft for the headset and 4.26ft for the dongle. DTS Headphone:X spatial audio is supported through the USB connection. The detachable boom mic allows the headset to double as standard headphones.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the USB-C dongle on PC and which 3.5 mm jack carries the mic on consoles?

Plug the USB-C dongle into a USB-A port using the 4.26 ft cable for PC and PS5; for Xbox or Switch use the 3.93 ft headset cable into the controller’s 3.5 mm port.

When should I replace the ear pads or the 10 mm microphone?

Swap the memory-foam pads when they lose seal or comfort; the detachable 10 mm mic only needs replacing if the -42 dBV sensitivity drops or the mute LED fails.

What is the first limit during long sessions with the 53 mm drivers?

Passive isolation and 64 ohm impedance mean heat buildup around the ears usually arrives before the 100 dB SPL ceiling or the 10 Hz–21 kHz range is stressed.
