HyperX Cloud Stinger – Gaming Headset, Lightweight, Comfortable Memory Foam, Swivel to Mute Noise-Cancellation Microphone, Works on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Mobile

My wife screaming 3 feet from me is not heard over the crack of a gunshot on the other side of the map. In ten out of ten cases, I'd buy again even if my wife broke.

I would say this is the best value for money you will find, and is a solid performer A great headset down to the ground. In order to compare the Stinger's with some audiophile headsets and high end wired and wireless headsets, I have tested some gaming and music using the headsets. My wife and I have the Cloud I and the Cloud II in our home, and they have both been with us for several years and they are still looking like new, so I knew they would be comfortable and the sound would be great. With the headphones connected to a standard gaming setup and without amplification or Astro mixamp, they sound a little bass heavy. Lows on this album are very good, mids are decent, and highs are great. As you know, I have placed the 53mm drives from the Clouds in these as 50 mm drivers since the only thing I can tell by comparing audible testing is that the mids sound clearer in my Cloud IIs for music and gaming. When you use a mixamp, this is when you will be unable to tell a Cloud I from a Cloud II. The headphones I use are very comfortable and work well with a Mixamp TR. Getting them completely covered and well-suited for noise cancellation is especially good for me as I have large ears. Regarding the noise cancellation, it is passive, and I feel that it is not as good as the Cloud II however, I find that the Cloud I and II clamp down on my head a little too hard, while the Stingers do not. As for the microphone, it works fine and I have had no problems yet in the week I've been using this headset. The memory foam earpads and light weight of the headset make it something you won't notice. The build quality seems rather good and the microphone works well. You would be well served to spend 50 bucks on the Stinger if you are on a budget or looking for a comfortable headset, and the Stinger delivers both. The mic stays attached the entire time, which could be a negative to some. Now let me tell you about a few drawbacks that I see about the headset from my perspective. I have done no mic testing, so I can't tell if there is any built in monitoring of the microphone. With a newer controller model with a 3-button, you can set up mic monitoring within the accessories app on the XB1. Position the 3. 5 mm jack so it is within an acceptably large In brief TLDR Despite being small and lightweight, the Stinger is an extremely comfortable and mixamp friendly headset that sounds very much like its big brother, Cloud I and II. If you spend 50 dollars on a headset, you will find it hard to beat. Having compared many more expensive headsets to these, the sound and comfort are right up there with those more expensive models. Thank you for reading my review of the Kingston HyperX Cloud Stinger. If my review of the device helped you decide to purchase it, please rate it positively.

I would give it a 5 stars overall, it is great, and after I got used to it, I found it So I'm going to wait to order another one with a mixer and more features so I can use this headset until I need one. As time goes on, I'm becoming more accustomed to the mic mute flip feature and now muting and adjusting volume is not that strange When I adjust the volume of the headset, I usually do so through the Xbox mixer settings rather than using the volume control BRIEF SYNOPSIS The Hyperx Cloud Stinger is a headset I bought a few months ago, and at this time I rate it 4 stars however, I believe it is a 5 star headset, but I could be wrong. As of now I can honestly say that this headset is well worth it - just keep in mind that I've only had it for a week. This headset is very comfortable, very well designed, and is a great price. It appears to work well with the Xbox One, and makes a nice sound. In the price range that this headset is offered, I do not think you'll find a better option than this one from what I've read, some say this headset outperforms the very expensive ones. (If you have the controller with a 3 pin plug you don't need an adapter for this headset for Xbox One. *Used a standard 5mm jack)

Long Review (Still updating and awaiting AREA OF COMFORT The headphones that I've tried have been very comfortable to wear (I am a female and most headsets don't fit me well and are too large however, this headset fits well without any adjustments). The smaller version fits both my boyfriend and me perfectly, so you can use this headset either for yourself or for someone else. A SOUND *br*br*br* As an amateur, I am not a sound wizard or professional, but the sound quality has been very good so far. This headset has mainly been used to play Fortnite br and Destiny 2. You can use the slider on the right ear of this headset to adjust all your volume settings on XB1 and then use the volume slider on the headset ear if it is too loud or too I don't need to go back into the Xbox audio settings now that I've played around with it a bit. I've left them at a certain level that seems to be perfect, so I won't bother to adjust them. I liked the fact that there were all those volume control settings near the controller, however maybe I can get used to that. As a last thing, I'm playing around with Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos for headphones since I read that these features can be used with headphones that do not have surround sound or do have it and that some say it makes a big I would like to talk on the microphone/party chat Xbox party chat is very important to me, and I use it every time. The program allows me to communicate with my boyfriend who plays video games with me from different rooms as well as my I have updated The Xbox insider alpha program may have been the cause of this issue and it may have been related to the new headset and/or to my being in the Xbox insider beta In addition, I am still adjusting to the mute method on this headset. I feel it takes more time to pull up or down the mic than it would to just press a button like I'm used to, but I think I'll get used to it eventually. The mute feature on the Stinger is more appealing to my boyfriend than to me, since he has a habit of putting up his mic, even when his mic doesn't have As far as I'm concerned, this is just a preference, and it may take some time to get used to. In general, the rating is On a scale of 1-10, I'd rate this headset as 9/10. If you're looking for a headset at the price and quality you're getting, I don't feel you'll find a better one!

If not in use, it is very well stored. My headset arrived at the end of September, and I have loved it ever since. I was delighted with how well it worked and would definitely recommend it. It is imperative to me that I properly care for the things I purchase, especially those that involve my gaming rig and the items that come along The electronic world is pretty much everything. I regret to inform you that There have been a lot of changes in the last few months, including There are already a number of issues. You can no longer turn up the mic to mute it when it is plugged in. Considering the results of this test, I probably won't be purchasing any Kingston products in the future if this is the life expectancy of some of the key features I purchased. Normally I don't leave negative reviews or write anything negative about a company, I simply stop supporting them, but now I find myself mad that I have to deal with these issues with a headset that's been revered as one of the best for each price point and quality. Then I might be able to understand if it were a few years old, but this is a whole four.

To begin with, I just wanted to say that the headset is excellent. I have only had the product for 3 weeks, but in that time it has already broken. I love the sound and you sound good, but it has broken in exactly 3 weeks. Plugging this in to my Dualshock 4 controller has been working seamlessly with my PS4 and the Playstation 4. For no apparent reason, the audio jack part of the device came off when I removed it from its holder. that's stuck in my controller, I'm at a loss as to how to use my headset. Know as well that I have only used the site about four or five times.
