HyperX Cloud Stinger – Gaming Headset, for PC, DTS® Headphone:X® Spatial Audio, Memory Foam, Soft Leatherette, Durable Steel Sliders, Swivel-to-mute NoiseCancelling Microphone, Black

--- Updated 6/11/18 --- Ive previously mentioned that this headset is nothing like what ive previously owned. its actually worked for more than 8 months to a year which was my previous life expectancy for my past 7 or 8 headsets from varying brands. There is nothing overly special with the headset. it has somewhat cheap but sturdy plastic frame decent cushioning on the top headband and perfectly good ear pads that will give you continued comfort for long gaming sessions or in general use case. i wear my headset anywhere from 7 to 16 hours a day while frequently taking them off multiple times within the day. The core and most notable strong point here with the headset is that, and i can reassure you on this. the build quality internally is beyond great. strong solder connections that are durable and wont degrade or detach / snap from frequent build up of heat or smacking the headset around or yanking on the cord etc. Ontop of great sound quality and great bass depth that wont peak out means for the price its pretty dam fantastic. and its also comfortable even with people that have big ears like i do! The only thing i dislike here is that even after nearing 2 years of use. the earpads and the overall rigidity are degrading pretty bad. the headset is so lose fitting now that its a cause of frequent adjustment in the sizing of the headset and the ear pads are flaking off the glued on fake leather like material. nothing particularly wrong with this especially if you compare it to competitors. they all do the same but hyper x has made theirs last the longest in my own experience. The downside is that they dont have replacements that you can order from their shop. which i think is a big L in this situation. you have a good product and you know the earpads are going to crap out first is most cases but dont offer replacements. no one wants to continue wearing a headset when the pads are flaking off crap onto their head and shoulders *no pun intended* overall my score is now a 5/5. but i understand some peoples experiences might vary. if you have an extra £20 or so to spare. look into getting the cloud headsets. bigger drivers and better frequency range for a overall better listening experience and its more comfortable even for bigger ears like i do. and if you find the ear pads are degrading quicker than normal. fear not because they actually have replacement pads for £6 that you can get. so you have that luxury of ordering replacements compared to this, which you would need to order a replacement headset overall.

These are brilliant. I bought a custom gaming PC for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator and wanted a good headset for Vatsim flights (online flights with real people acting as air traffic control) - so I needed a decent headset for that. I settled on this because my budget that I'd set aside for the entire PC was maxxed out so thought I'd buy this HyperX headset as a short term solution - and liked the idea that it is a WIRED headset. It has absolutely blown me away!!!! Some people with wireless headsets have spent tons more and are having difficulty with their choices because of odd bugs. For example, on the wireless options if the battery runs out, Flight Simulator can crash to desktop - not ideal! Some people have had issues with their headsets even connecting in the first place... NOT WITH THIS!! PLUG AND PLAY defined. Plugged it in - mic port and headphone port, Windows 10 recognised them instantly and activated them. Within minutes I was using them online on the Flight Sim. I'm using MSFS as an example because there are TONS of sounds - aircraft, environment, traffic and weather related - all important when flying in the real world. This headset gives constant CRYSTAL CLEAR SOUND, a continuous connection AND when using Vatsim - my voice has been crystal clear for everyone else listening with the microphone. The mic also clicks up and deactivated until clicked down to nearer your mouth which is a great feature AND there is a volume slider on the base of the right ear cup too for quick control without having to change volume settings within windows. The sound goes up very high and stays really clear too so don't be worried about that! In terms of build quality / comfort these are so good. Lots of breathable padding meaning I've used them for 3hrs and not had a single issue with comfort. The build quality is amazing for the price too. Sturdy well build headphones that are also light (they're plastic mainly so that is a given) and the ear cups fold in so you can store the headset flush in a drawer when not using them. The wires are REALLY long too so there's no issues with connecting a few metres away and sitting elsewhere - the cable is well over 2.5m long (I haven't measured it but I was able to walk to the other side of my room wearing them!) I'm settled on these now - I'd say they are probably the best headset on the market for price point, sound quality AND build quality. If you're thinking about buying wireless or spending tons of money on some posh high end brand - don't bother. These are really really worth it and very highly recommended by me!

The HyperX Cloud Stinger - Compatible with my mobile devices, PC and Xbox One. NOTE:To use with Xbox One, the stereo headset adapter is required, it does not come with the headset, you must buy it separately for 20 pounds (a ripoff, but hey ho). In the box, apart from paperwork, is the headset and a female 3.5mm to 2x male headphones and mic 3.5mm, for use with PC. Just plug it in to your PC (the adapter) and then plug the headset into the other end to use with PC. To use with mobile devices, forget the adapter, just plug in the headset. The HyperX Cloud Stinger Gaming Headset has comfortable around-the-ear pads, and on top of the head is soft and comfortable for hours of use, as I have been. As an avid gamer and podcast viewer, the audio quality, in my opinion, is very good and better than any other headset I have bought. The mic is good and clear, without background noise, however some people have sometimes claimed it is a tiny bit quiet, but overall it is good for me. It is fairly sturdy for me so far, but that doesn't mean throw it around! I wholeheartedly recommend people to buy this. GG HyperX - This is the best headset I have ever used, better than, for example, the Tritton Kama. A great mic, for a great price.

Sound Quality: I have to say that they sound fantastic and get very loud, the bass response is also quite strong, if you play with your equaliser settings you can get these sounding amazing. They handle all ranges quite well in my opinion, you won't be disappointed with how they sound. Noise isolation: When listening to music, talking over VOIP or playing games, I cannot hear what's going on around me. So if you're looking to be immersed without any distractions or you have things going on around you that you need to block out, these are great. You can hear what's going on around you if your audio is quiet or nothing is playing, but it's muffled enough to have to remove your headphones to talk to someone in the same room. Mic Quality: The quality of the mic is only just above average. It sounds as good as a HD mobile phone call or a Skype phone call. Also the mic picks up far too much sound from around the room, it is not directional at all. It will pick up any noise around you and it's very difficult to set volume triggers in discord because even though your voice is talking directly into it, the mic picks up noises at the other side of the room just as loud as you are somehow. It can make it a pain for the person/people you are talking to because you either set the trigger too low so they can hear lots of background noise or too high and your voice cuts out often. It's a shame because my previous headset (Plantronics) which fell apart had worse sound quality but the mic was better quality and directional. Comfort: These are really comfortable. They fit perfectly around my ears, I wear glasses and they fit perfectly. The top part is very softly cushioned and again is very comfortable. You can wear these for hours. Overall they're very good headphones and if you are going to use them somewhere with no background noise then the mic won't be a problem at all. I use mine where someone else is watching TV around me and it can cause problems so it depends how much your friends care about background noise.

I use this headset on my PS4 and it is the best headset I’ve ever owned. AUDIO I play a lot of rainbow six which is heavily reliant on audio and it is amazing. It has the perfect amount of bass (not too much, not too little). The volume control is just a small slider on the bottom of the headset, very easy and efficient. Overall the sound can of course be muted with the slider and the highest volume is very loud. At its lowest or highest volume the quality is always amazing. MIC The flip up to mute mic is extremely easy and convenient. The mic quality is very good as well, obviously doesn’t have the sound quality of a £300 mic but if your just using it for in game/party chat etc then it’s perfect. NOISE CANCELLATION The noise cancellation doesn’t block out everything but talking, even shouting and other noise is just a really quite muffled sound and will not affect your gameplay and ability to hear. OTHER USEFUL INFO The ear cups are leather, they don’t come with spares but it’s very unlikely they will get damaged. I bought this headset for my boyfriend last November and since then they have gone through 2 different owners and everything is still in perfect condition. If you are prone to itchy skin I definitely recommend these leather ear cups instead of the softer materials found on other headsets (astros), as over time it can become irritant. I literally wear these everyday, sometimes for over 10 hours and after taking them off I have no pain or discomfort. The headset arrives in good shape for all head sizes, it sits very well and also adjusts very well. I would definitely recommend these over the hyper x cloud models as my experience with them hasn’t been so great. The audio quality was not anywhere near as good, the headset as a whole just wasn’t comfy and not to mention it didn’t even last a month until it was broken. 100% recommend this headset for gaming. Better than some £70-£200 headsets for sure.

I've recently bought my 4th of these headsets. I use them not for gaming, but for remote working in video conferencing (Teams, mostly). One's left in the office for those occasional days I go in. The protruding mic arm is fragile and not removable, so regularly taking the headset on the commute is not practical. The other lives at home, and gets very heavy use, typically around 6 hours a day (yes, a lot of meetings!). The ability to mute the headset by raising the mic arm is superb for usability, but is also a weak point. The heavy use, and regular muting / unmuting, causes this mechanism to wear out over time. The mic eventually stops working, intermittently at first, making the headset useless for my needs. This has happened to my first two, and I can sense the 3rd (currently less regularly used in the office) is on it's way out. So why keep buying them? Firstly the headset is very comfortable. I wear it literally the whole working day sometimes, without a comfort problem. The mic audio quality is very good (before it wears out), and the convenience of the mute mechanism is great while it lasts. The ability to easily mute the mic, and know it's muted without having to feel around for some switch, is important to me. And it's relatively cheap - 40 quid for my recent replacement makes me feel a little better about having to replace them so often. They seem to be lasting me around 6 - 9 months with my heavy usage. You can decide for yourselves whether that's good money. TBH though, I think this recent replacement will be my last. When it inevitably breaks this autumn, I'll try and find a replacement with a longer lifetime, albeit maybe costing a little more. Maybe it's replacement (the Cloud Stinger II) will fair better.

Overall A great purchase. I recommend this headset if youre looking for a mid to long term good quality headset at a mid range budget. Super solid and no deal breaking complaints. Good directional sound for gaming, good bass and sound quality for music, and good mic quality for communicating or streaming/making videos. Comfort Comfortable and light, easy to wear for many hours. Also good head adjustability, mic adjustability and great padding. No complaints. Sound Gaming - Great directional sound, improved my sound awareness considerably in CS:GO, Valorant, Destiny 2 and Rocket League (compared to my old £15 Beexcellent headset). Microphone - Great mic quality for the price range, very clear sound. Also easy to adjust and great mute feature when you push it up. Music - Lovely bass and crisp clean sound. Could have a higher sound limit though. Criticisms/Issues Microphone - sometimes echoes what I hear from my headset, but its not as big of an issue as I saw some people describe in their reviews. Microphone - needs to be well positioned to not pick up your breathing or be too quiet . Sound - At max volume the headset could have a higher sound. Its not quiet by any means but I sometimes I like to blast music unhealthily loud :D

I bought these to replace my Turtle Beach Ear Force P12's, as they did not have great noise cancelling and were a bit rickety. When I first tried them out, I was a little disappointed. They were very quiet, even with the volume all the way up, and I was not a fan of having to manually switch over to them as my output every time I wanted to use them (Windows would automatically do this when I plugged the P12's in). However, I had the idea of plugging them in to the USB in-line amp from the Turtle Beach headset and they were a lot better. So, if you do not have a dedicated amp or decent soundcard, bear that in mind. Build wise, I think they're pretty nice. The ear cushions fit comfortably and swivel on their own axes, so they rest comfortably on the head. There is also a volume control on the right-hand speaker. The boom mic is solid and automatically mutes when you stow it, too. I'm not much of an audiophile, I'm afraid, but they are a definite step up from the P12's; the bass is pretty strong to my ear and they have a richer sound. For £50, I'm pretty happy with them but just be wary if you use your motherboard's on-board sound.

Da mein altes Logitech G35 nach 4 Jahren nun den Geist aufgegeben hat, war ich auf der Suche nach einem neuen Headset, wollte aber nicht wieder direkt 120€ für ein Headset ausgeben. Ich habe einige Produkte verglichen, unter anderem das G430 von Logitech. Als Erstes bestellte ich mir das Logitech G430, doch das ging bereits am nächsten Tag wieder zurück, das es einfach eine Frechheit ist. Nun aber zu diesem Headset. Gekauft habe ich es mir auf Grund der guten Bewertungen und dem sehr soliden Aussehen. Ein paar Punkte zur Notiz: Verpackung: Das Headset kam in einer sehr schlichten aber guten Verpackung, war schön in Schaumstoff eingekleidet, was sehr edel aussah für ein Headset in dieser Preiskategorie. Zubehör: Das Headset wird mit einem Adapter für die ganz normalen 3,5mm Buchsen für Mikrofon und Kopfhörer geliefert, standardmäßig dient ein 4-poliger Stecker zum Benutzen, sowohl am Pc als reine Kopfhörer oder an der Konsole, was auch prima funktioniert. Auch das 3 Meter lange Kabel ist mehr als ausreichend. Verarbeitung: Ich war sehr von der Verarbeitung des HyperX überrascht, die Polster sind sehr weich und haben einen Überzug aus Gummi, der einen enorm guten Tragekomfort bietet. Habe es mehrer Stunden am Stück getestet und es wurde weder unangenehm noch wurde es schwer, da es wirklich sehr leicht ist. Auch das Kopfpolster ist in der selben Qualität wie die Ohrpolster, sehr angenehm zu tragen und es schließt perfekt ab bei den Ohren, was Außengeräusche komplett eleminiert. Sound: Hier komme ich zu dem beeindruckendsten Part des HyperX Cloud Stinger, nämlich dem enorm guten Sound. Wie erwähnt hatte ich bis vor 2 Tagen noch das G430, was 5€ weniger kostet als das HyperX Cloud Stinger, aber die Unterschiede sind brachial. Das HyperX hat klare Höhen, gut abgestimmte Mitteltöne und einen satten, schönen Bass, der nicht überladen ist wie beim G430. Ich habe das Headset sowohl bei Musik als auch bei Filmen mit 7.1 getestet und in allen Situationen war ich beeindruckt, dass es überraschend nah an das G35 rankommt, was mehr als doppelt so viel kostet. Der Klang ist weder blechern, noch klingt das Headset als würde man ein altes Radio am Ohr haben, es knistert nicht bei stärkerem Bass und es übersteuert auch nicht, wenn man mal etwas lauter aufdreht. In dem Preissegment ist dieses Headset absolut unschlagbar und ich überlege auch mir dieses Headset als Standard zu nehmen, da es im Punkt Preis/Leistung unfassbar gut da steht. Mikrofon: Hier kommen wir zum einzigen "Schwachpunkt" dieses Headsets. Die Anführungszeichen sind bewusst gewählt, da das Headset über keine eigene Soundkarte verfügt. Das Mikrofon an sich ist sehr gut, habe es mit Freunden in Teamspeak, Skype und Discord getestet und überall bekam ich positives Feedback. Klarer, rauschfreier Ton ohne nervende Nebengeräusche. Das einzige Problem an dem Mikrofon ist, dass wenn man sich ein Video, einen Film oder sonstwas anschaut, das Mikrofon das aufzeichnet, auch wenn es in der "Mute"-Stellung ist. Dass das Headset keine eigene Soundkarte hat ist klar, kann man bei dem Preis nicht erwarten, deswegen empfehle ich hier, sich für 15€ oder 20€ eine seperate Soundkarte zu holen, da die eigene Soundkarte im Mainboard das nicht gut steuern kann und es sonst ein wahnsinns Gefummel bei den Einstellungen ist, bis man es hinbekommt, dass man nur mehr sich selbst aufnimmt und nicht das, was man gerade schaut oder hört. Das ist aber wie gesagt nichts, was ich bei einem Headset für knapp 50€ erwarten würde, deswegen auch kein Abzug deswegen. Fazit: Das Headset ist eine absolute Kaufempfehlung, es hat einen richtig schönen Sound, gut abgestimmt, nicht überladen mit Bass wie andere Headsets in dem Preissegment (Logitech G430 als Beispiel), es sitzt perfekt auf dem Kopf, da es sehr leicht ist und eine Gummibeschichtung über den Polstern hat. Preis/Leistung absolut unschlagbar, ich war mehr als überrascht und habe nicht erwartet, dass das Headset fast so gut ist wie das Logitech G35, wohlgemerkt kostet das HyperX Cloud Stinger weniger als die Hälfte, ist aber eine mehr als gute Alternative zu einem teuren Headset.

En fait, j'ai commandé ce casque Hyper X car c'est la marque qui est utilisée pour les mémoires DDR4 de mon PC. Donc je me suis dit : "et pourquoi pas ?" Après 3 jours d'attente, le casque est arrivé (Directement dans le carton d'origine du produit, avec un simple affranchissement dessus. La par contre, ça craint. Je suis étonné de la part d'un article PRIME d'amazon). Une fois sur la tête, le casque étouffe bien les bruits extérieurs. Pas totalement de manière a savoir que quelqu’un vous appelle par exemple, mais suffisamment pour ne plus remarquer quoi que ce soit autour de vous. Niveau qualité de son, on est dans une bonne gamme. Les basses sont la sans être omniprésentes, les medium se veulent dosés et clairs, et les aigus sont propres, quoi qu'un peu légers. On en demande pas plus a un casque de gaming sous la barre des 50 € .. Faut pas abuser. Niveau connectique, il est complet car il intègre d'origine une prise à 4 contacts (totalement incompatible pc mais prévu pour les ps4 par exemple) mais est également fourni avec l'adaptateur pour passer de cette prise à une double prise (Une en 3 contacts, et une pour le micro). Donc tout est ok. Le câble est ammmmmmplement assez long :-) Niveau micro, mes correspondants m'annoncent un son bien clair et audible. Un son bien meilleur que ce que j'avais avant d'avoir ce casque. Le volume de la voix est "super" parait il. Attention de bien faire vos réglages d'entrée windows. Pour mon cas il a fallu mettre le volume d'entrée micro à 100% et l'amplification à 25, voir 50% maximum. Avec ces réglages, pas de souffle, par de retour micro dans le casque, pas de bruit blanc non plus. En résumé, un bon casque gaming qui mérite ses 5 étoiles pour cette gamme de prix.

Excelentes cascos "alámbricos" estéreo de diadema cerrada, posiblemente de lo mejorcito dentro de los de calidad media/media-alta que hay en el mercado. Son cascos multiplataforma que se conectan a través del miniJack de 3.5 y que destacan sobre todo por su comodidad (puedes tenerlos puestos bastante tiempo y no te sentirás incómodo) y el realce de sonidos graves, por lo que son muy recomendables para largas sesiones en videojuegos o películas de acción. Particularmente, yo tengo la cabeza más bien tirando a pequeña, de modo que quizás para aquellos que posean una cabeza grande podrían llegar a notar que les presionan un poco. En cuanto al micrófono he de decir que NO es extraíble. En cualquier caso, es un micro normalito con cancelación de ruido que permite que las personas que están al otro lado te escuchen bien (aunque da un poco la sensación de que se genera la voz así como de "locutor de radio").Es un micro lo suficientemente flexible, pero a la vez duro, como para poder dejarlo en una posición y que se mantenga así hasta la próxima vez que se vayan a utilizar los auriculares. La particularidad del micro radica en que podemos conectarlo o desconectarlo bajándolo o subiéndolo (se oye un "click"); algo que es bastante funcional y sencillo para que el micro no moleste si sólo quieres escuchar el sonido. La otra particularidad, aunque para mi es de menor utilidad, es el hecho de poder doblar las orejeras de los auriculares 90º, de tal manera que se pueden dejar los cascos colgados al cuello sin que molesten. Por ponerle un pero, personalmente me hubiera gustado que la longitud del cable hubiera sido un pelín más largo. No obstante, para conectarlos al mando de la PLAY 4 o a la entrada de micro del ordenador (si no está muy alejada la entrada de donde te vas a colocar) son perfectos. He de decir también que con estos cascos viene un cable adaptador hembra con dos salidas de Jack 3.5, una para sonido y otra para micro que además de alargar la longitud del cable que viene unido al auricular izquierdo (hasta 1,7 metros) , te permite conectar el sonido de los cascos y del micro de forma individualizada para por ejemplo videoconferencias o videochat tipo skype en el ordenador. También existe un control de volumen en el auricular derecho bastante intuitivo y sencillo para poder regular la potencia de sonido al gusto de cada uno. Para finalizar, se trata de unos cascos de 30 Ohm de impedancia, por lo que a mi gusto poseen una potencia de sonido más que suficiente para poder usarlos por ejemplo incluso con el mando de play4 a pesar de que la potencia de sonido que da el propio mando es bastante pequeña. RESUMIENDO: MUY BUENOS CASCOS DE GAMMA MEDIA/ MEDIA-ALTA QUE PARA LO QUE CUESTAN QUE DAN MUY BUENAS PRESTACIONES Y QUE SEGURAMENTE SATISFAGAN A LA MAYORÍA CON PRESUPUESTO AJUSTADO Y QUE BUSQUE BUENA RELACIÓN CALIDAD/PRECIO.

الصوت واضح ،جيد للاستماع واللعب ، سهولة تحريك السماعة ، مريحه

Amazing headset. I've had the Hyperx Cloud Stinger for 2 Years now, it's been nothing short of great. It's very durable and sturdy, I've dropped it a LOT of times and it hasn't broke. The microphone quality is great and my friends could hear me very clearly. I used on ps4, but on pc it was louder. It's overall a great headset and I strongly recommend it. Very great for the price.
