Kingston has once again impressed us with their latest headset from their HyperX Cloud series, the Stinger. Aimed at budget-conscious gamers, the Stinger offers up goodies such as HyperX signature memory foam, rotating ear cups, and intuitive microphone and volume adjustments.

Very comfortable; Lightweight – 275 grams; Headset mounted volume slider is conveniently placed; Memory foam in all padding areas; Low price

No size markings on adjustable slider band; Headset cord is short when used without Y-adapter extension

The HyperX Cloud Stinger Core provides some great value for money and more importantly, some decent audio!

In an increasingly saturated peripheral market, HyperX are hoping their new Cloud Stinger can become the ‘go-to' headset if you are on a budget. Priced at £49.99, it comes in cheaper than the acclaimed Cloud and Cloud II headsets while keeping familiar features from those devices, including memory...

Attractively priced; New features are introduced such as rotating ear cups; Audio quality is great for the money; Comfy to use

Construction does feel a bit plasticky; The Cloud II offers a better all-round package for £20-25 more

The Kingston HyperX Cloud Stinger is an affordable wireless headset that offers very satisfying performance for the price. It's one of the best sub-$50 headsets out there, and feels very comfortable on the head.

-Quality sound; Mic is very good for the price; Noise cancellation

-A little uncomfortable when worn for extended periods of gaming/work -A little bit smaller than I expected but none the less the build quality is very sturdy

A very comfortable and reasonably priced headset. The last one I bought got damaged by accident, and I happily bought another of the exact same make (which, I think, says quite a lot with any product).

HyperX Cloud Stinger Wireless for PC and PS4 Review – Each time someone on a budget asked me which gaming headset he or she should get, I'd always recommend HyperX's. Their gaming headsets are usually very affordable but dont compromise on sound quality and comfort.

When it comes to gaming, may it be on a console or on a PC, a decent pair of headset is a must as most games no...

The HyperX Cloud Stinger Wireless is a good wireless gaming headset, especially at this price point. It doesn't have a lot of fancy features and without any software there's no customization options, but it offers good audio and a clear mic so it covers the basics well.
