Cloud III S Wireless keeps the Cloud family's memory-foam comfort, adds dual 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity, and gives you both a detachable boom mic and a built-in mic for on-the-go use. 53mm drivers and DTS spatial audio round it out, with battery life that runs well past typical rivals. It doesn't mix the two wireless sources at once, and the earcups get warm.
