Which should you buy?
The Cloud III S Wireless edges ahead on the Mars Score (77.5 vs 82.9), but the 5.4-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
The HS80 MAX Wireless doesn't pull ahead on any single popular-comparison spec — its strengths sit in the spec table groups rather than the headline advantages.
Pick the Cloud III S Wireless if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. Its strongest claims are battery, driver size, mic noise cancellation.
Both ship with comparable 2.4 ghz lossless, surround sound, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
