HyperX Cloud Stinger Core – Wireless Lightweight Gaming Headset, DTS Headphone:X spatial audio, Noise Cancelling Microphone, For PC, Black

Decent for the price. I am listening/watching a movie from my phone with these cans (headset ) connected. This morning I was playing a FPS game with some friends in MP (Multiplayer) using these and talking to my mates.The sound has been configured by the DTS X Sound Unbound App and I can say that the sound is coming out pretty good, I cannot call it great because I have had better sound experiences prior to these. I feel the sound comes in a bit off somehow, not sure how to describe it, You can definitely hear that you are listening in headsets, it feels a bit enclosed and not like the surround or sound you would feel in a studio or theater setting which I have experienced with more expensive sets. Still, for the price you cant really expect that from these, the sound is good enough to make out pencil scratching, footsteps, the various sound-stages from explosions, the engine revs from vehicles and other small background sounds from various scenes.The feel of the set is ok, they are lightweight but I can still feel them wearing them, they have a firm press against your ears which also helps closing out the sounds from around you, I can still hear the A/C and other people if they talk but it is very faint. They feel a bit plasticy and if you touch the cups you will hear it clearly the same if you touch the cord, you can hear that something is touching the cord, so set everything up accordingly if that is something that will annoy you. The foam pads are soft and stiff at the same time, not uncomfortable but you can definitely feel that you are wearing them.I love that the volume control is inline (on the cord) vs. on-board (on the cup), it has a mute button on the inline as well which I prefer from when it is connected to the microphone and you need to unfold the mic to mute, those have a tendency to wear-out. According to my mate they hear me loud and clear when I am talking, even if the mic is unfolded they can hear me but with less clarity.The cord is just right for my set-up, I use a Surface Pro 10 so the phono input is just behind the screen on the hard-drive so it is enough to reach where I am sitting. I can see this being too short if you have a stationary next to you on the floor or similar, then you might need an extension. The extension that comes with it is made for connections that has a separate mic input and a headphone input, I only have one so I cant use the extension if i wanted to, a pet peeve would be to include an extension cord for only single inputs, or even better just make longer cords, it is easy enough to wind up the cord if it is too long vs. getting extensions which most people do not have available and would need to buy before being able to use their headsets.Overall, for the price they are quite decent and I don’t regret trying these out.

Pretty good. It came in a little late but that’s ok i don’t recommend this for long term gaming the padding isn’t the thickest nor does it rap around but besides that it’s a pretty good product for the price

So far so good – works with Linux. These are recognized in Linux (pavucontrol is preferred here).Similar in several ways to competitor’s headset, which did not last long at all (that other product had a mic boom intermittent issue – never repaired).This one seems well-behaved for the mic boom and has not failed at all. It’s a flexy gooseneck type mic boom.Audio is just okay. Not as much bass in mic audio as expected but it’s within range of acceptable.Headset (at the ears) audio is fine but nothing to write home about. Can hear others clearly (used almost always for the spoken word; podcasts, Discord voice chat).Seems to work without a ‘driver’ in Linux and is identified correctly.Have gotten used to setting up a range of volume in pavucontrol (a mixer) to avoid trying to hit the limits using the thumbwheel audio volume control on this headset.Battery life not great but usually enough. I would say the competitor’s set lasted a good deal longer on one charge.Charge monitor circuit is an LED that ‘breathes’ and is hard to get a read on – have to stare at it not to miss the brief moment it ‘breathes’ to a very low brightness, before recovering to near full or full brightness. Needs a redesign for human factor (not an issue if you are not waiting for it to finish the charge, in order to immediately use the headset).Good price and durability seems good or very good (still too soon to say for sure) so would likely re-order these, if this pair lasts a good while (18 months would be the minimum acceptable service life here).Does the job.
