HyperX CloudX Stinger Core Wireless Review | Trusted Reviews

The HyperX CloudX Stinger Core Wireless is a decent gaming headset for Xbox owners, but the lack of connection options limits its appeal.

Seamless Xbox compatibility ; Good sound quality ; Sturdy build ; Comfortable fit

Doesn’t work with non-Xbox devices ; Takes 3 hours to charge ; Low 15m range

The HyperX CloudX Stinger Core Wireless gaming headset is comfortable to wear and sounds great. But its lack of support for Bluetooth and a wired connection means it’s restricted to play on an Xbox. You’re best off looking elsewhere if you want more...

HyperX Cloud Stinger

The Cloud Stinger is HyperX's newest addition to its headset line, priced at the rather cheap £49.99. The Stinger fuses an attractive design with easy-to-use adjustment features, and is super-comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions.

A fantastic budget headset that delivers great audio quality and a comfortable design.

Light ; Affordable ; Excellent sound quality for the price ; Good sound pick up

HyperX Cloud Stinger Review

Can HyperX finally deliver something as impressive as the awesome Cloud headset again?

All in all, then, the HyperX Cloud Stinger is a well designed headset – simple to use, comfortable and with enough adjustment to keep most users happy. Audio quality is good, both from the microphone and from the speakers themselves. The pricing is...

Kingston HyperX Cloud Stinger

The HyperX Cloud Stinger is one of the most capable wired gaming headsets you can buy for under $50.

Comfortable. Strong audio performance for the price. Good microphone.

Weak in extreme low and high frequencies.

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. If you can spare an additional $20, you...

HyperX Cloud Stinger review: Solid entry-level audio is cheaper than ever

HyperX might have just undercut its widely acclaimed $100 Cloud headset with this $50 budget entry.

Solid, mid-heavy sound ; HyperX finally adds volume/mic controls on the headset itself ; Extremely inexpensive

Audio not as rich as the more expensive HyperX Cloud ; Weak microphone ; Comfy, but a bit cheap feeling

You’ve probably noticed the same refrain throughout this review: “The Cloud Stinger is good, .” And that’s true. These cans won’t stand up next to competitors two or three times the price, either in sound or in comfort. Hell, the Stinger doesn’t even...

The Cloud Stinger Core is a solid wireless gaming headset for under $100

Solid gaming performance ; USB Type-C charging ; Comfortable ear cups ; Seamless wireless connectivity

Cheap, plastic design ; Tough to adjust fit ; No customization

The HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless offers great gaming performance, seamless wireless and comfortable earpads for the price, but it’s plagued with a cheap design.

HyperX Cloud Core Stinger review: A console-gaming headset that nails the essentials

I can't wait to see what a beefier and more-accomplished console play from the company looks like, this budget-friendly headset is a good stopgap in the meantime.

Cheap ; Wide compatibility

Functional but unexceptional audio ; Could be more comfortable

HyperX Cloud Stinger Review

The HyperX Cloud Stinger are wired entry-level gaming headphones. Although their plastic frame is bulky, they're fairly lightweight for over-ears and should be c...

Impressive boom microphone. Comfortable design.

Very limited control scheme. Bulky and plasticky build. Inconsistent bass and treble delivery that significantly varies across users.

The HyperX Cloud Stinger are decent for neutral listening. They have a somewhat balanced sound profile, even though the bass is slightly overemphasized and the treble is uneven. For closed-back headphones, they also do an adequate job of creating an...
