Among their range of gaming headsets, the HyperX Cloud Stinger is an entry-level gaming headset that boasts comfort and style, without sacrificing performance.

Design

The HyperX Cloud Stinger comes in a sleek black color that exudes a professional look that matches any gaming setup or workstation. It is designed to fit over-ear, with memory foam padding that provides maximum comfort during long gaming sessions. The headset weighs 275 grams, making it lightweight and easy to wear for hours. The ear cups are also swivel-able, so you can easily rotate them to fit your head comfortably.

Audio Quality

HyperX Cloud Stinger features 50mm directional drivers that provide audio precision and an immersive audio experience during gaming. With the full audioscape of your favorite games, you can easily pinpoint enemy sounds, hear footsteps, and immerse yourself deeply into the game. When testing the HyperX Cloud Stinger in various gaming environments, we found the audio to be crisp, clear, and immersive, while providing an accurate representation of all audio elements.

Microphone Quality

The HyperX Cloud Stinger has a noise-cancellation microphone that rotates to stop the noise from being transmitted to users on the other end of the line, while also indicating when the mic is muted. The microphone picks up sound without any distortion. During testing, we tried the mic on various platforms, and it provided clear communication during gameplay, video calls and live streaming broadcasts.

Compatibility

The HyperX Cloud Stinger is perfect for gamers who like to switch between devices as it is compatible with various platforms such as PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One/Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Mobile (with an additional adapter for phones). As an update, HyperX also provided a universal 3.5mm headphone jack so you can use it on any device with a 3.5mm port, making it even more versatile.

Ease of Use

The HyperX Cloud Stinger is easy to use and can be quickly adjusted with the intuitive volume control, which is located on the headset ear cup. The swivel-to-mute noise-cancellation mic function is also easy to use; you can simply lift the microphone when you don't want to be heard, and push it back down when you are ready to speak.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the HyperX Cloud Stinger is an excellent entry-level headset for gamers who want high-quality audio, comfort, and functionality at an affordable price. It might not offer the same high-end features as other headsets in the HyperX range, but it's an excellent start to get you into the gaming world. It's also perfect for office work, especially for making clear, noise-free calls and attending virtual meetings. We highly recommend the HyperX Cloud Stinger for anyone who wants to have a great gaming experience without breaking the bank.
