HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core – PC Gaming Headset, Lightweight Over-Ear Headset with mic, Swivel-to-Mute mic Function, DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, 40mm Drivers,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.

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.

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!

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.

The sound quality is very good and the mic works very well. Your ears will get hot, but that's true of all "over the ear" headsets/headphones. They are comfortable and not heavy.

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.

For $30, this was a great buy for PC gaming. They are pretty comfortable and the mic functions fine. As is, they have a bass that is a bit too pronounced. The good news is that you can fix this on PC with the Auto-EQ feature of the free computer program PEACE for Equalizer APO. Indeed, if you have the patience to learn how to use these programs, you will reap the benefits of better audio with any pair of headphones.

I have a large head (huge brain) and it is so difficult to find headsets. Here we go one more time I took a chance on a new one. And the Stinger 2 just barely fits comfortably at full extension and feels like my ears are fully inside the cups. As a matter of fact if I push down on the well-cushioned top headband I can get them to drop down to where it's almost perfect, so maybe after using them for a while it will be great. Ideally I could still use one more click of adjustment instead of being at the absolute maximum, but I am surprised that I found a headset that fits at all. It's not perfect, I found myself kind of messing with it a lot and adjusting it the last time I had it on, but still it's pretty good compared to headsets that I know will never fit the second I try them on. Maybe at the very bottom of the ear I feel like I wish it was a few millimeters lower on me, the pad is on my earlobe instead of surrounding it. The clamping force is perfectly comfortable. These are nearing a "forgot I'm wearing them" sort of feeling. My other concern was overall volume, I am kind of a crazy person who sometimes wears earplugs to block out neighborhood noise and then on top of it I still want to wear headphones and be able to hear something I am watching. I have a pair of Sennheiser headphones with plenty of volume, I was concerned if these Stingers could do the same thing, but they are indeed loud enough. Make sure you check the volume dial, at first I thought they were a touch too quiet, but out of the box I still had a little more that I could turn the dial up on the earcup. Tried some bass boosted music, I hear some decent punchy bass. I haven't tried the mic yet but I don't usually talk to anyone anyway. It would be nice if the mic could be removed, but it folds out of the way and stays up to where I don't notice it. I expected I might put these on and notice an immediate drop in sound quality from a Sennheiser headphone, but without sitting here and really trying to analyze it and find fault, these sound fine. Definitely not the experience where you put a budget headset on and notice tinny audio quality right away. These sound fine or even pretty good. Doesn't bother me at all to switch to these from 58x headphones. The overall build is plastic and light yet somehow there is a sensation of quality. I think it comes from the ear pads, and the smooth swivel that you feel on the ear cups. There's a satisfying creamy glide you can feel when you turn the earcups versus just being some cheap loose feeling joint. And the earcups feel really plush, as well as the top cushion like I mentioned. The plastic build is the type where I wouldn't want to put these through a hard fall or maybe they will break eventually from normal use, but it seems ok so far. Sure, a version of this made all out of metal would be pretty great, but cost more. The overall look is great, I hate bulky headsets where the arms stand too far out from the head and make you look goofy. These look great, nothing "gamer" looking either. Nice little accent lines on the outer earcup. Branding is subtle. The sale price I got them at helps me like them, I am not sure about full price. I am tempted to get a second set in the white version just because it's a decent sounding headset that actually fits me. A lot of times I'll see a "good for large heads" review and an item still won't fit me. I must be pretty high up there in the range of head sizes, and this one fits. Honestly I had this set at 5 stars the entire time I wrote the review and then I remembered that the cord doesn't detach at the earcup end. The cord is often the thing that will fail over time with a wiring break somewhere inside and making it that you can't just plug in another cord is the most "planned obsolescence" thing you can do with your product to make it that the whole thing will need to be replaced. This product would be off the charts positive if I could say that you can replace the cord on these too. Just one more thing that they aren't going to give you at this budget I guess. I would recommend these easily to anyone who needs a quick headset purchase especially if large size is a concern.

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

Produto de qualidade, bem construído, muito leve e muito confortável. A qualidade do som é excelente. O ajuste de largura aparenta ser frágil por ser de plástico e o isolamento externo poderia ser melhor.
