They are perfect for my son and me as I don’t have to listen to the racket when he’s playing his video games. Had these for a few months already and they have lasted with no issues at all.
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t some hidden masterpiece of a headset. It does have its moments of glaring audio in the background however these are rare.
What the headset does shine in however is it’s value for money. For the low-end of the market rate this headset is extremely good quality and has lasted already for over a year without (as unfortunately many high end headsets do) losing the quality of the audio.
Overall, definately worth the money I promise you will not be dissapointed!
This headset is great, lots of bass for gaming, volume is quite high (at least on PC) so you can hear whatever you need to quite well. It has a metal headband so it’s quite durable, which means it’ll most likely last long. The only thing is that the headset I had before, the Razer Kraken X, was far more comfortable. You get used to it after a while though. 9/10
This headset is perfect and does the job for the price. I use it on PC for Discord. Mic quality is great according to my friends. The sound quality is not too bad at all. They are very bass heavy, so good for hearing footsteps and other minor details. I’m just glad I no longer have to use my phone for Discord calls anymore!
I understand these are not high end, but compared to DT 770 PRO or Pioneer HRM-7 studio headphones, the audio is bad. The mids & highs don’t cut through the mix enough.
I will try these out today on Apex Legends, MWII and XBOX party chat, but I think I will end up refunding this. Poor design.
What is the obsession with overwhelming bass in gaming headsets?
Ok for gaming it actually sounds Ok. Good enough, and the mic quality is excellent, much better than turtle beach headsets. This is gonna last me years.
I just wanted a pc mic that I could hear volume through and talk through, it’s quite tight on the head at first but I got used to it, and now I think it’s a legit mic, especially at this price range. For the money it’s very good, if you want better pay more.
Using on PlayStation. Good sound, able to turn mic on and off from the wire. A little tight on the head, maybe my head is too big or just need to wear them in lol. Cable length is very good. Cable splitter included is great, yet to test on laptop. Can adjust volume from wire also. They do the job , idk good headse
In terms of sound quality, the 40mm drivers deliver clear audio, but it may not be as powerful as some users may expect. The soundstage is decent, but the audio separation could be improved. The sound quality is adequate for most gamers, but audiophiles may want to look for a headset with more premium sound quality.
The comfort of the headset is a mixed bag. The soft-padded headband and memory foam ear cushions provide a comfortable fit for some users, but others may find the headset to be too tight or heavy, leading to discomfort. The over-ear design helps reduce background noise, but it may also lead to overheating after extended use.
The build quality of the HyperX Cloud Stinger Core is good, but not outstanding. The ear cups and headband are made of high-quality materials, but the ear cushions may wear out or become less comfortable over time. The headset is lightweight, but some users may find it to be flimsy or prone to breaking.
In conclusion, the HyperX Cloud Stinger Core is a decent choice for gamers looking for a budget-friendly headset. While it has some shortcomings in terms of comfort and sound quality, it is a solid option for most users. However, those who demand the best in sound quality and comfort may want to consider other options.
For listening to music, they are okay not bad as I thought. Mids are okay, treble is okay bass is good. If you are using Linux, try Pulse Effects (It really makes the sound quality 1000 times better).
Original:
Amazing headphone for casual gamers like me. I tested on a PS4 and PC. Everything works out of the box on both the platforms.
Audio is great overall (9/10)
Great for Single player games, due to the fact this gives more bass and make you feel more immersed into the game. Okay for online FPS games, don’t get me wrong treble is okay (not bad), you can hear directional footsteps (tested on Overwatch and Battlefield), but they are not loud as I expected it to be.
Mic is really outstanding at this price (10/10), no complaints (Tested on PS Party and Discord).
Ear cushions are okay, not the best (not leather, see my pic), but they are comfy.
It doesn’t look cheap as it has matt plastic finish rather than glossy. It is light too, can wear for prolonged game sessions.
The ear cups aren’t rotatable as HyperX Cloud Stinger. From the spec look this seems to the latest version of their “HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Console Gaming Headset”.
It doesn’t say anywhere, but this headset has Impedance of 16 (lower impedance is good for consoles). My Box had a headset with the 3.5mm cable and PC extension cable. Well packed. This is definitely good for gaming (wouldn’t recommend for music listening as this is bass heavy). I bought at full price and would recommend for anyone looking for a budget headphone for PC or PS4.
