Headsets, like most peripherals, are very subjective. Both looks and fit make reviews more opinion based than products we can accurately benchmark, at least without some very expensive audio equipment. I tested the Cloud Stinger headset with my onboard so...

You've probably noticed the same refrain throughout this review: “The Cloud Stinger is good, for a $50 headset.” And that's true. These cans won't stand up next to competitors two or three times the price, either in sound or in comfort. Hell, the Stin...

The HyperX Stinger Gaming Headset retails for about $50 (Amazon) at the time of this review. This is an excellent price for the features. Period. Check out the entire video review for the full details, but to summarize, HyperX has a winner with this for a...
