Comfortable fit, Good sound quality, Solid wireless performance, Reasonable price
No customization, No 3.5mm audio jack
There's no question that the Cloud Stinger Wireless leaves out a few handy features that we normally like to see in wireless gaming headsets. There's no 3.5mm jack, no chat mixer and no customization options. But depending on your gaming habits, you may n...

While the Stinger does have a few flaws, it is an all-around solid gaming headset at a fantastic price. This product should be your first choice when shopping on a tight budget...
Very comfortable, Great audio quality for the price, Feels durable
Plastic look, Non-retractable mic, Poor volume control
At the $50 price point, it is going to be real tough to find a headset that beats out the HyperX Cloud Stinger. The audio is excellent and no other headset at this price point can even hope to rival it in terms of comfort. If you are looking for a budget...

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 i...
Gotta love the times we are in right now - technology-wise anyway. Previously, any tech that's on the cheaper side of things would be deemed as a terrible product/experience. In the recent years, that is no longer the case. Especially w/ these $50 gami...
