Plastic construction

Spartan kit
Cable without braid
Of course
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
Bulky look
Weak in extreme low and high frequencies
No customization
No 3.5mm audio jack
Non-removable mic
Lacking on the bass end of the sound scale
Stiff headband
Slightly "plasticky" feel
So-so audio

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

Very sturdy build quality, Positional audio accurate, Closed Earcups Block out external noise, Clever microphone on/off mechanism, Long 3m total cable, Earcups lay flat when headset worn around the neck
Sound can lack bass, Fitting can be uncomfortable over time for some, Microphone requires audio adjustments and picks up background noise, Priced a little high for this level of headset

HyperX themselves seem to be producing a fair amount of headsets now and as do their various competitors, so it's becoming a very hard field top make a product really stand out in. This headset however does nail it for the price point, and for £50 you wil...

The Cloud Stinger continues the tradition of being a gimmick free, great sounding headset. This time in a sleeker, lighter package. The audio delivery by the 50mm drivers is as you would expect, good, providing deep brooding bass with clear mids and highs...
