![]() Sound Quality and MicrophoneĪ replay of Dishonored 2 on the Xbox Series S was the perfect opportunity to test out whether or not the headset could deliver on its audio claims. On PC, the headset offers two years of surround sound through a code for 3D audio thanks to the DTS Headphone X Spatial Audio codec and it includes a splitter too. On a PlayStation or Xbox, all that’s needed to connect is the audio wire and it’s instantly working. It’s difficult to deny that the 3.5mm audio jack is dated, however, this makes it ideal for those no-fuss and no-frills gamers. ![]() I missed strolling to the kitchen for snacks in cutscenes, but the metre-long wire isn’t anchoring you to your sofa. You’ll have to shell out an extra £40 for the wireless version of the Cloud Stinger 2. It offers an enviable experience for its price and advancements from the original Cloud Stinger. The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 isn’t reinventing the wheel when it comes to features. It’s got markers on the headband too, so you can remember exactly how to position the headset if you’re sharing it with someone else. The primary use case for the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 is gaming and there’s nothing worse than that feeling of being squished when submerged in a good story or gameplay. Points are scored for the fact that I can wear this for such a long time without becoming too warm or too uncomfortable. And, there’s no mistaking these for anything but a gaming peripheral, as the microphone doesn’t detach and it doesn’t offer any ability to fold in half for use on the go. It does feel frighteningly flimsy on occasion – if you take the headset off with any level of irreverence, the ear cups oscillate like a play pretend imitation. It won’t be winning any awards for its aesthetic, but it does look a lot sleeker than its predecessor. The colour scheme too is classically HyperX with flashes of silver against the black with the logos on the outside of the earcups and a handy red volume dial at the base of one. Memory foam all along the adjustable headband and earcups, enveloped in leatherette, lets the headset melt into your head and allows for an almost instantaneous mental shift into work or play. Spending more than six hours a day with this headset could be one of the best-kept productivity secrets. Plus, the comfort of the design makes it an ideal accompaniment for working from home. That’s not intended to be a dismissal of what this one offers as the Cloud Stinger 2 packs a persuasive punch for its price point.Īn affordable wired option for those seeking an audible advantage in their competitive matches, this would be a commendable choice for any gamer on a budget. ![]() ![]() The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 isn’t an evolution of the original gaming headset – it’s more like a sleek and modernised makeover. ![]()
