I have been using the Cloud Stinger for a couple of weeks now as my main headset. So this means I have been using with my main PC at home as well as with my laptop. I have been playing a lot of Star Wars Battlefront and DOOM with the headset. The sound co...

The HyperX Cloud Stinger is an excellent option for those looking for a quality headset on a limited budget. The one I received suffered from some occasional connection issues, and it lacks features that many headsets possess, The HyperX Cloud Stingersets...

Overall, I'm quite impressed with the HyperX Cloud Stinger Gaming Headset. A mouth full just to say that – but after disliking the HyperX Cloud Revolver as much as I did – I'm actually quite happy with this drop in price and slight redesign. With closed e...
