Gaming headsets don't have to be just for gaming. Any good set can also work well as regular stereo headphones , as long as they have a 3.5mm connection and sound good, and the boom mic doesn't get in the way.

Attractive, understated design; Solid build quality; Works with PCs and mobile devices as well as most modern game systems

Virtual 7.1-channel surround isn't effective; Besides the USB sound card, cable isn't detachable

Our favourite gaming headset just got better with 7.1 digital surroundbut it's also driven down the price of its predecessor, so choosing between Cloud models is a tough call.

First time ordering a gaming headset online and I have to say these headphones are amazing, I love the sound and bass on them and their fantastic for gaming. For anyone who wants gaming headphones these will be perfect and considering the price for them you can't go wrong!

i have been using this for a month now .. and to be honest its worth it ... i had no problem wearing its soft and light .. sound Q is fair ..

I teach online and these are.perfect. I can control my Mic volume as well as headphone volume. They are comfy and fit my head perfect. I would suggest these for anyone.

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.

You can find some pretty good gaming headsets for just under $50. Kingston has one such option in the HyperX Cloud Stinger, a $49.99 wired gaming headset that feels comfortable and offers solid audio performance and very good microphone quality. You can get a slightly better-sounding headset by spending a bit more, but if you're on a strict budget, the Cloud Stinger is an excellent choice. Design The Cloud Stinger ($41.99 at Amazon) is a very plain headset, with an all-black, all-plastic design that fits in line with its budget price. It doesn't feel cheap at all, but it does little to catch your eye or seem particularly rugged or complex in its construction. The synthetic leather over-ear earpads and headband padding are soft and comfortable, but not quite as thick as the earpads on the Razer Kraken Pro V2 , and nowhere near as luxurious as the Turtle Beach Elite Pro Tournament Headset ($200.00 at Amazon) .

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
