HyperX Cloud Stinger Headset Review

Pros

Comfort is key, and this headset is firm yet soft
Sound of your highs and lows will allow you to pin point your enemies and feel the true sounds of any movie and song
Size of the band means that even big-headed folks like myself will have no issue with long use of the Cloud Stinger
Steel band guarantees that this headset will survive even the most emotionally driven gamers
Price is both a pro and a con; pro in the sense that for $49.99 (at the time of the article) this is the best bang for your buck
Two-Year Warranty that is given with this headset (as per the Kingston website) provides a worry free experience even for the most frugal buyer

Cons

Swivel-to-Mute seems like a good idea, but there seems to be a design flaw of sorts, where if this breaks, you either don’t have a mic, or can’t mute it.

Conclusion

This headset brings in the best of the best for the fraction of the price. With the support of a 3rd party software or hardware, you can get the best of both worlds: quality sound, and a price tag that won’t make your wallet wince. If you are interested in picking up a gaming headset without the premium price point, Cloud Stinger provides the comfort of even the highest priced headsets with fully over the ear pieces.

The final judgement is that with the price tag of $49.99 you are getting one of the best sounds you can expect. This of course comes with flaws, like the swivel-to-mute, which if used on a daily basis, can result in a headset without the ability to mute, or without a mic.
