Comfortable, Lightweight Gaming Audio Refined.
With a new design and 2 years of DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, the Cloud Stinger 2 keeps the fundamentals of the Cloud Stinger and refines it. Still weighing in at under 300g, the Cloud Stinger 2 is lightweight, but also still packs a hefty audio punch. Get a wide frequency response so you will not miss important audio cues that give your opponents away. It also does not skimp on comfort, with soft memory foam and premium leatherette designed for all-day gaming. Gamers will appreciate HyperX’s passion for its craft, which shows up in quality-of-life features like rotating earcups that make it easy to take a break, or the swivel-to-mute microphone that makes muting your mic simple and obvious. Its swivel-to-mute mic and volume controls are located on the headset, grouping all your most important audio functions right on your head for easy access. The passively noise-cancelling microphone is flexible, so you can precisely position it to give you clear communication with your team.

The best $50 or less gaming headset
This is the best $50 range gaming header there is, well at least compared to 8 other headsets I tested. The spatial sound accuracy is unmatched at this price range. Unbelievable sound performance. To top it off, the comfort is also unmatched. You can actually forget youâre wearing them. The clamping force is one the lightest Iâve worn and thatâs a huge plus for my big head. The only negative about these is the microphonics. You can hear when you rub the audio cord or if it brushes against your shirt. You canât hear this when playing a game though so I donât consider it a big negative.

Great headset for the blind!
Note: I am plugging this headset into the HyperX Amp USB Sound Card (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GW1SHSN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1.This) replaces the original Cloud Stinger I purchased back in April 2020, which came bundled with the above sound card accessory, so that was the only way I ever used the original headset. However, the right earpad finally gave around the very edge of the rim of the earcup so the pad would no longer stay securely in place. It didn’t appear it would be that easy to replace one or both earpads, so I replaced with this updated (2) model of the Cloud Stinger.Two things I mmediately like about this headset are the volume wheel and the more standard “wire” arm microphone. The original Cloud Stinger headset had a volume slider I was almost constantly accidentally moving, and the microphone arm, while flexible to a degree, did not behave like the more traditional “wire” style which offers more flexibility in positioning the microphone.In terms of sound quality, plugged into the same above sound card as the original, I can’t really hear any difference, which is good. I was satisfied with the original sound. Perhaps replacement earpads would have been cheaper, but for gaining a volume wheel and the more flexible “wire” microphone arm, this purchase was worth not having to deal with the hassle of trying to get new earpads anchored. Short of buying new earpads direct from HyperX, I wouldn’t trust I was getting equivalent replacements anyway. Overall, probably as cheap and easier to just buy a new headset than replacing earpads.I will conclude by mentioning that as a totally blind computer user, I wear this headset on average about 10 hours every day for use with my screen reader, and the comfort of this thing is INSANE! I have been told the microphone sound quality is great during Zoom calls, so this would probably be a great buy for anyone doing lots of calls.I bought for comfort and the fact it folds so can fit in a bag if I need to take with me out and about. The microphone muting and unmuting simply by swinging it up out of the way (mute) or down (unmuted) is a nice touch. A bit more difficult with this “wire” arm, but not impossible if one simply grabs the plastic part of the arm where it joins the headset. Probably overall better than grabbing the arm itself anyway; just tried it and can flip it up and down with one finger without issues.I can’t report on the DTS:X since I don’t use it for that sort of enhanced audio as would exist in gaming.

Got what I paid for. For once
This is nice low budget headset. I used it exclusively for gaming on my PS5. Works out of the box not issues. I had an older HyperX Cloud Stinger headset and it was pretty good. But this one is better. It fits my head better than that older one did. And the volume dial is better than the slider. Sound quality on this Stinger 2 is good, and the mic works well. The flip up mic mute works well also. This is a relatively inexpensive gaming headset and great bargain. I would get it again if needed.Update: After using these for a while there is one thing that could be better on these. The pads/foam for the ear cups could be thicker. Over time I find that the inside is pushing on my ears. My ears do not stick out far from my head. I do wear glasses but most over the ear headphones don’t do this. So, at this point I would not get these again if needed.Update: I have been using these a bit and would have to downgrade my original review to a 3 star. This might not apply to everyone but I have found that the ear cups are not deep enough. There needs to be a bit more foam so the speaker cover doesn’t press on my ears. My ears do not stick out far from my head so I am thinking this may be an issue for others. Quality wise these are good and they sound good.

Good value & husband loves it!
My husband has been getting HyperX for about 2 years now & this one I got for him, he said is his favorite one. He said itâs easy to function, sounds âcrispâ & overall really good. Itâs lightweight, great mic quality & functions amazing. Definitely would recommend buying.

Pretty solid for the price
I picked these up shortly after my Logitech G432s gave out because of the hinges. I’ve had these for just over seven months now and haven’t had any problems so far. I’m very careful with my headsets so there’s almost no wear on them, if any. Granted, the lackluster build quality is noticeable, but what else did I expect from a $30 headset?These are half the price and doing just as good of a job as the G432. There’s not much swivel but it definitely solves the issue of the hinges going bad, I never wore headsets around my neck anyway.Overall, these get the job done. The mic is ok, it’s comfortable enough to use for long sessions, and I wouldn’t expect these to last years. But regardless, this is one of the best gaming headsets you can get for the price. I would advise picking these up after one of your headsets breaks, if you don’t want to spend a lot of money just yet. I will be upgrading soon but I’ll always have these lying around just in case.

Comodos si tienes una cabeza grande, buen sonido (los utilizo para PS5) y ademas vienen con una membresia para mejorar el sonido en PC. Recomendados.

Bought it simply as a headset I’d use with my setup when i’m not at home, until I started using them for a month straightExperience :-in Warzone, felt like I could hear a lot more than with my usual headphones without the need of any audio modifiers on my PC-Same thing with Rainbow 6 Siege, Valorant or any sorts of shooters where the audio is important- the Microphone is really good for how cheap the headset is-Super comfyI fully recommend it for those who are on a budget
Ni una semana y ya se están despegando de la suela, por el precio esperaba algo más decente, para lo desechables que salieron no las recomiendo –
Excelente producto, cancela bien el ruido al momento de jugar y la claridad del audio es buena, el micrófono es decente
