HyperX Cloud Stinger – Gaming Headset, for PC, DTS® Headphone:X® Spatial Audio, Memory Foam, Soft Leatherette, Durable Steel Sliders, Swivel-to-mute NoiseCancelling Microphone, Black

--- Updated 6/11/18 ---Ive previously mentioned that this headset is nothing like what ive previously owned. its actually worked for more than 8 months to a year which was my previous life expectancy for my past 7 or 8 headsets from varying brands. There is nothing overly special with the headset. it has somewhat cheap but sturdy plastic frame decent cushioning on the top headband and perfectly good ear pads that will give you continued comfort for long gaming sessions or in general use case. i wear my headset anywhere from 7 to 16 hours a day while frequently taking them off multiple times within the day.The core and most notable strong point here with the headset is that, and i can reassure you on this. the build quality internally is beyond great. strong solder connections that are durable and wont degrade or detach / snap from frequent build up of heat or smacking the headset around or yanking on the cord etc. Ontop of great sound quality and great bass depth that wont peak out means for the price its pretty dam fantastic. and its also comfortable even with people that have big ears like i do!The only thing i dislike here is that even after nearing 2 years of use. the earpads and the overall rigidity are degrading pretty bad. the headset is so lose fitting now that its a cause of frequent adjustment in the sizing of the headset and the ear pads are flaking off the glued on fake leather like material. nothing particularly wrong with this especially if you compare it to competitors. they all do the same but hyper x has made theirs last the longest in my own experience.The downside is that they dont have replacements that you can order from their shop. which i think is a big L in this situation. you have a good product and you know the earpads are going to crap out first is most cases but dont offer replacements. no one wants to continue wearing a headset when the pads are flaking off crap onto their head and shoulders *no pun intended*overall my score is now a 5/5. but i understand some peoples experiences might vary. if you have an extra £20 or so to spare. look into getting the cloud headsets. bigger drivers and better frequency range for a overall better listening experience and its more comfortable even for bigger ears like i do. and if you find the ear pads are degrading quicker than normal. fear not because they actually have replacement pads for £6 that you can get. so you have that luxury of ordering replacements compared to this, which you would need to order a replacement headset overall.

These are brilliant. I bought a custom gaming PC for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator and wanted a good headset for Vatsim flights (online flights with real people acting as air traffic control) - so I needed a decent headset for that.I settled on this because my budget that I'd set aside for the entire PC was maxxed out so thought I'd buy this HyperX headset as a short term solution - and liked the idea that it is a WIRED headset.It has absolutely blown me away!!!!Some people with wireless headsets have spent tons more and are having difficulty with their choices because of odd bugs. For example, on the wireless options if the battery runs out, Flight Simulator can crash to desktop - not ideal! Some people have had issues with their headsets even connecting in the first place... NOT WITH THIS!!PLUG AND PLAY defined. Plugged it in - mic port and headphone port, Windows 10 recognised them instantly and activated them. Within minutes I was using them online on the Flight Sim.I'm using MSFS as an example because there are TONS of sounds - aircraft, environment, traffic and weather related - all important when flying in the real world.This headset gives constant CRYSTAL CLEAR SOUND, a continuous connection AND when using Vatsim - my voice has been crystal clear for everyone else listening with the microphone.The mic also clicks up and deactivated until clicked down to nearer your mouth which is a great feature AND there is a volume slider on the base of the right ear cup too for quick control without having to change volume settings within windows.The sound goes up very high and stays really clear too so don't be worried about that!In terms of build quality / comfort these are so good. Lots of breathable padding meaning I've used them for 3hrs and not had a single issue with comfort. The build quality is amazing for the price too. Sturdy well build headphones that are also light (they're plastic mainly so that is a given) and the ear cups fold in so you can store the headset flush in a drawer when not using them. The wires are REALLY long too so there's no issues with connecting a few metres away and sitting elsewhere - the cable is well over 2.5m long (I haven't measured it but I was able to walk to the other side of my room wearing them!)I'm settled on these now - I'd say they are probably the best headset on the market for price point, sound quality AND build quality. If you're thinking about buying wireless or spending tons of money on some posh high end brand - don't bother. These are really really worth it and very highly recommended by me!

These headphones are very good for the price .For pros it is quite cheap but has a sturdy build , very comfortable eat cups , very good sound quality and a good mix with a flip to mute option which I love . I play rainbow six seige and there work quite well and are very comfy and I can hear all I need to hear . For cons first off is that the clamping pressure isn’t ideal and is abit to loose for my liking but I’m sure I will get used to it. The sound quality is very good and music sounds amazing but it’s not like out of this world good and another thing is that I wish these Were abit louder .They are all around a great bang for your buck and I would recommend them to Anyone looking for a very good sounding headset for a cheap price .
