HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 – Gaming Headset, DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, Lightweight Over-Ear Headset with mic, Swivel-to-Mute Function, 50mm Drivers, PC Compatible, Black

I originally had these a couple years ago and made the mistake of getting rid of them for “better” headphones. That turned out to be a terrible decision because everything I used after either broke quickly or just didn’t sound as good. After going through multiple headsets, I realized these were easily the most reliable and well-rounded. They also look really clean and simple, not bulky or ugly like a lot of other gaming headsets. I definitely regret giving them away, and I won’t be doing that again. The sound quality is really strong, especially for the price. They get very loud, and the bass hits hard without sounding messy. Even at lower volumes, they block out most outside noise, which makes them great for gaming or focusing. Everything sounds clear, whether it’s music, games, or voice chat. They’re also super lightweight and comfortable, so you can wear them for long sessions without any discomfort. The microphone is honestly one of the best parts. It sounds clear and doesn’t have that muffled or cheap quality a lot of budget headsets have. The flip-to-mute feature is really convenient and easy to use. They’re also surprisingly durable and hold up well over time, which is something I didn’t appreciate until I used worse headsets. Overall, these are one of the best budget headsets you can get. Easy 10/10.

I purchased these because my old ones needed to be replaced. I had the same headset since 2021 and they held up so well, I purchased a new set! The sound quality slid really good and I never had any issues. They’re also very comfy on the ears. While I would like to have an actual mute button for the mic, the microphone can be muted by lifting the mic upwards. Overall, I could recommended these to anyone!

Updated review. The return was processed within a few minutes of dropping off the return. 5 stars for Amazon returns team. Amazon's part. I ordered the "new" set of these and the order remained un-shipped until the arrival date came and went. Amazon never shipped them. I ended up canceling the order. Zero stars for that. Ordered a "used like new" from Amazon returns. That arrived literally the next morning. Again 5 stars for Amazon Returns. The used like new still had the sticky protective tape all over the shiny bits. The box was open but it didn't even appear to have ever been out of the box. Amazon Returns 5 stars. Replacement which is "Used" sounds great. No more buzzing bees. Lightweight. The ear pieces actually fit my head but just barely. The sound quality is excellent and I'm not using their add-on software. Just the built in windows "Spacial headphones" feature. Original Review: Returned and reordered. Sounds like a swarm of angry bees trying to escape into your ear canal.

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.

Bought these for my 15 yo son. He absolutely loves them. He says they are comfortable, have great sound quality, he loves that they aren't Bluetooth (battery/charge not required) bc he really hates having to charge a headset. Fully adjustable, says he likes them better than his turtle beach set he previously had. Would 100% recommend and buy again.

Honestly, for the price it is a great budget gaming headset. It is very lightweight and the fit isn't very tight to where it squeezes your head and gives you a headache. The padding is comfortable. The microphone is what you would expect from a budget gaming headset and is decent. The sound is pretty decent too and since it is over-ear it helps remove background noise to an extent and helps me focus. If you're upgrading from really old/cheap headphones like I am, it's definitely a big upgrade. The wire is pretty long and it surprisngly comes with a splitter adapter for audio + microphone. The design is very smooth and simple, the sound and microphone is decent, if you're just looking for a decent budget gaming headset, I would buy this. 10/10.

SALE PRICE ISN'T A SALE: I bought these for $42.99 a few weeks ago. They inflated the price to $49.99 for Prime day, and are saying its on sale for $36.99 for 26% off. Save yourself the money and don't buy them. I bought these to replace my AMAZING Sades A7 7.1 Surround Sound USB Gaming Headset that lasted me 5+ years and for my Twitch Stream. These are ALRIGHT. The sound quality in the headset is good. The weight is good, and doesn't give me a headache or ear ache (which I am prone too). Its a BIT annoying how directional the sound becomes in these on FPS games, but good in other regards. The app it comes with isn't really special either. However the Mic on this is terrible. Its tin sounding, muffled and awful quality, even with adjusting the sound in OBS, playing with EQ and filters. The Mic on my Sades was SO clean, crisp, you couldn't tell it was a headset mic. This one however, just doesn't cut it. Plus the flip up to mute only works SOMETIMES and with some games/applications (sometimes on Discord, and doesn't work on OBS). People can hear and understand me just fine. ALSO this isn't USB so keep that in mind. Requires both headphone and mic jack. Its a shame because I love HyperX (Love my keyboard and mouse) and I took a chance on this headset for my Twitch, only to be really let down. I may try one of their stand alone mics as I've heard good things about those. (Send me one HyperX?) Its not worth returning due to the hassle of that alone probably costing more than they were. I'll keep them and use them for non stream things, or maybe gift them to someone who doesn't stream once I can get a replacement. Sound Quality - B+ Mic C-

Good back up headset. Nothing fancy but for the price it is plug and play and works great. My main is wireless but it’s nice to. It have to worry about battery dying mid game. Would recommend for new users, kids, or for a spare system. Sound quality and mic is very good for the price

Clear crisp sound quality , very comfortable and when you put the mic up it auto mutes the mic. And when you flip it down it unmutes. very nice sounding mic and very good audio i think you should buy it for you or your kids one of the best headset i got it for my kid and he loves it. Thanks

Il est exactement comme dans la description !

I like these so much I have a pair for the office and a pair for working from home. I went through a handful of on ear office headsets and they either broke or got really uncomfortable after a few hours. These are great because they're comfy over the ear and have the flip boom mic that doesn't interfere with coffee drinking. They work fine with Teams and the audio quality is perfectly acceptable for listening to music or podcasts while working. I'm in a shared office and haven't missed ANC. I also don't mind the cord since it means these can't run out of battery halfway through a meeting.

Come utente delle cuffie gaming cablate HyperX Cloud Stinger II Core, sono rimasto colpito principalmente dal loro comfort eccezionale e dalla qualità audio sorprendentemente buona per la fascia di prezzo a cui appartengono. Le ho scelte come soluzione economica ma affidabile per le mie sessioni di gioco su PC e PS5, e devo dire che hanno superato le mie aspettative iniziali. La mia esperienza d'uso quotidiano La prima cosa che ho notato appena indossate è stata la loro leggerezza. Essendo realizzate principalmente in plastica, non pesano sulla testa anche dopo diverse ore di utilizzo. I padiglioni in memory foam rivestiti in tessuto creano un buon isolamento e sono molto confortevoli, anche se alcuni recensori hanno notato che potrebbero non essere l'ideale per chi porta gli occhiali per lunghi periodi. Per quanto riguarda l'audio, offrono un suono chiaro con bassi presenti e incisivi che aiutano molto nell'immersione in gioco. Nei titoli sparatutto (FPS), la spazialità è sufficiente per individuare la provenienza dei passi e degli effetti sonori. Non hanno la precisione chirurgica di cuffie di fascia alta, ma per il gaming occasionale o budget-oriented sono perfette. Il microfono è un punto di forza: la funzione "ribaltabile per il mute" è pratica e immediata. La qualità della registrazione è decente e i miei compagni di squadra mi sentono chiaramente su Discord. Vantaggi e Svantaggi (secondo me) I miei "Sì": Comfort e leggerezza: Posso indossarle per ore senza affaticamento.Qualità audio in gioco: I bassi potenti e l'audio posizionale sono validi per il gaming.Microfono pratico: Il sistema "flip-to-mute" è una genialata.Versatilità: Grazie al jack da 3,5 mm, funzionano su PC, PS4, PS5 e altri dispositivi. I miei "Mah": Materiali: La costruzione è interamente in plastica per mantenere la leggerezza, il che le fa sembrare un po' "economiche" al tatto.Volume: Avrei gradito un volume massimo leggermente più alto per apprezzare ancora di più la separazione del suono.Isolamento acustico: Sebbene i padiglioni isolino bene, in ambienti molto rumorosi si potrebbe faticare a sentire chiaramente. Verdetto Finale Le HyperX Cloud Stinger II Core sono, a mio avviso, un'ottima scelta economica per chi cerca un headset da gaming cablato che si concentri sulle prestazioni essenziali. Offrono un'esperienza audio immersiva e un comfort duraturo che le rende un "best value" nel segmento entry-level. Se hai un budget limitato e vuoi un prodotto affidabile e funzionale, non ti deluderanno. Se invece punti a materiali premium, audio surround avanzato o opzioni wireless, dovrai guardare altrove.

Honestlythe sound quality is VERY good for its price , the mic is also good and it's a steal with that price , definitely would recommend just don't twist it too hard it's plastic build is durable but at the point of twisting it hard
