The cons could still write non-detachable cable and microphone
But is more a feature as a class
Not as a defect of a particular model
Audio not as rich as the more expensive HyperX Cloud
Weak microphone
Comfy
But a bit cheap feeling
Bass reproduction is just okay

All of us felt that the bass was a bit too punchy for our liking. Thankfully
The mids
Highs and lows all seem naturally balanced
Noise cancellation is passive and thus won't completely block out ambient noises. Not an issue though because the cans are

Headband could be more padded

Occasionally disconnects
Lacks buttons/functionalities that are standard to most headsets

So whether or HyperX Cloud Stinger (HX-HSCS-BK/EE) surcharges extra “Grand,” or the first decent headset is better to take a Drone Cloud and save? Of course, it all depends on budget and in this price range every ~$15 is very significant, but over the ext...

HyperX has a new economy line of gaming headphones on the market called the “Cloud Stinger”, and promises that it will be “The best gaming headset for under $50”. This is a bold statement, so we wanted to take a look at it and find out whether or not the...
Abstract: By prioritizing comfort and sound quality, HyperX, a relative newcomer to the world of peripherals, quickly rocketed to the head of the pack with its Cloud series of gaming headsets. A little less than a year ago we got our hands on the HyperX Cloud II he...
For $50, you can't expect the moon and stars in a gaming headset; you just want something competent and comfortable. In those respects, the Cloud Stinger delivers. The gaming and music performance won't leave you in aural awe, but they're clear and loud e...

Cloud Stinger by Kingston really does deliver what it promises, lightweight design with few cool features that do not break the bank. When looking at just the sound performance/reproduction of Cloud Stinger it is spot on as well. It is hard to find a go...
Great performance in gaming, comfortable earcups, flexible boom mic flips up to mute, amazing price,
Stiff headband, slightly "plasticky" feel
There's just no doubt about it: HyperX hit a homerun with the Cloud Stinger. Coming in under $50 pricepoint probably wasn't easy, and none of its big-name competitors have been willing to try. This is the land of cheap knock-off headsets with lots of neon...
