Great headset for the blind!
Note: I am plugging this headset into the HyperX Amp USB Sound Card (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GW1SHSN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1.This) replaces the original Cloud Stinger I purchased back in April 2020, which came bundled with the above sound card accessory, so that was the only way I ever used the original headset. However, the right earpad finally gave around the very edge of the rim of the earcup so the pad would no longer stay securely in place. It didn’t appear it would be that easy to replace one or both earpads, so I replaced with this updated (2) model of the Cloud Stinger.Two things I mmediately like about this headset are the volume wheel and the more standard “wire” arm microphone. The original Cloud Stinger headset had a volume slider I was almost constantly accidentally moving, and the microphone arm, while flexible to a degree, did not behave like the more traditional “wire” style which offers more flexibility in positioning the microphone.In terms of sound quality, plugged into the same above sound card as the original, I can’t really hear any difference, which is good. I was satisfied with the original sound. Perhaps replacement earpads would have been cheaper, but for gaining a volume wheel and the more flexible “wire” microphone arm, this purchase was worth not having to deal with the hassle of trying to get new earpads anchored. Short of buying new earpads direct from HyperX, I wouldn’t trust I was getting equivalent replacements anyway. Overall, probably as cheap and easier to just buy a new headset than replacing earpads.I will conclude by mentioning that as a totally blind computer user, I wear this headset on average about 10 hours every day for use with my screen reader, and the comfort of this thing is INSANE! I have been told the microphone sound quality is great during Zoom calls, so this would probably be a great buy for anyone doing lots of calls.I bought for comfort and the fact it folds so can fit in a bag if I need to take with me out and about. The microphone muting and unmuting simply by swinging it up out of the way (mute) or down (unmuted) is a nice touch. A bit more difficult with this “wire” arm, but not impossible if one simply grabs the plastic part of the arm where it joins the headset. Probably overall better than grabbing the arm itself anyway; just tried it and can flip it up and down with one finger without issues.I can’t report on the DTS:X since I don’t use it for that sort of enhanced audio as would exist in gaming.

Very midrangey cans vs the older V1 model but clearer mic
Out of all the gaming headset brands I’ve had over the years, this brand’s product line sounded the best to me. All headphones are colored in some way and this seemed to match my preferences for the most part.The previous Cloud Stinger was clear & bassy but was a bit scooped in the mids. Seems this one is now on the polar opposite end where it sounds like it has too much midrange. Still, it’s much better sounding to me vs other brands like Razer and especially Logitech.I still have my old pair but there’s a loose wire inside that cuts out the left channel. This is a manufacturing defect. I have to move stuff around to make it work. My much older one’s hinges broke and that’s why I had to buy a new set. Luckily back then v1 was still around.Anyway, I was able to do a comparison with the mic from the previous model vs this one. It has significantly more treble which means more hiss, but I can just throw a gate/eq on it for OBS/Discord if I really wanted. Most people don’t care, especially when you’re gaming.The pads feel about the same. These never gave me headaches. I do like they gave you a windscreen for the mic this time around and that you can bend the mic arm around now.The bar that holds the cans with the headrest feels way more more tougher. I’m not sure if there’s a metal bar inside it and I can only hope it does. The previous model had a wide piece of flat metal, but felt like the plastic that the bar goes into felt really flimsy. I’d say this is a good upgrade for it.Regardless, I’m giving it 4 stars just because of how much more midrangey it is to me vs the previous model 1 cans. I liked v1 more and was hoping the cans would sound exactly the same since you can’t buy the model 1 at the time of this review unless you really hunt around for it.It’s still strong overall and great for a decent pair of headphones. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a pair that isn’t overly expensive and always would recommend this brand over other gaming headset brands.

Better than expected
After having the HyperX Cloud Stingers (the first gen) for 5 years, I had to part with them after my friend’s puppy chewed through the wire. I know many people prefer wireless headsets but I prefer wired ones. Compared to the original, the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 is actually an upgrade. A lot of times companies make unnecessary changes and lose features when they make new gen products but this headset is an upgrade all around. My favorite feature is the flip mic to mute since sometimes I get interrupted while gaming online or want to shower my dog with some love mid-game which I doubt anyone wants to hear. From what my online friends told me, the mic picks up my voice clearly. The sound quality is certainly better than the original as well. I can hear in-game footsteps a lot more clearly allowing for better gameplay. The headset is comfortable and breathable. I can wear it for hours without feeling any discomfort. The wire for the headset is longer than expected and a little unnecessary but it’s doable.

The best $50 or less gaming headset
This is the best $50 range gaming header there is, well at least compared to 8 other headsets I tested. The spatial sound accuracy is unmatched at this price range. Unbelievable sound performance. To top it off, the comfort is also unmatched. You can actually forget youâre wearing them. The clamping force is one the lightest Iâve worn and thatâs a huge plus for my big head. The only negative about these is the microphonics. You can hear when you rub the audio cord or if it brushes against your shirt. You canât hear this when playing a game though so I donât consider it a big negative.

Headset maravilhoso, excelente construção, Alto falantes com áudio perfeito, ótimos graves, pra quem joga jogo FPS, recomendo utilizar o FXsound pra diminuir os graves. Microfone muito bom com redução de ruÃdo, qualidade do mic muito boa, voz sai perfeita. As Earpads são de tecido não irá descascar, e são bem confortáveis. ele tbm vem com adaptador para PC. Headset com qualidade HYPERX, vale muito a pena.

Bought it simply as a headset I’d use with my setup when i’m not at home, until I started using them for a month straightExperience :-in Warzone, felt like I could hear a lot more than with my usual headphones without the need of any audio modifiers on my PC-Same thing with Rainbow 6 Siege, Valorant or any sorts of shooters where the audio is important- the Microphone is really good for how cheap the headset is-Super comfyI fully recommend it for those who are on a budget
Ni una semana y ya se están despegando de la suela, por el precio esperaba algo más decente, para lo desechables que salieron no las recomiendo –
Excelente producto, cancela bien el ruido al momento de jugar y la claridad del audio es buena, el micrófono es decente
