Surprisingly good, reliable headset for under $80 (PC only)
PROs:+ Audio quality is surprisingly good all-around, for music, movies, gaming, and Zoom meetings+ Relatively affordable compared to some gaming headsets you might need to take loan out to afford+ Flip-to-mute mic is clear and captures audio decently+ Onboard controls are intuitively laid out+ Lightweight and comfortable to use all day+ Subtle look is suitable for an office environment+ USB-C connector charges the headset quicklyCONs:- NGenuity software is Windows-only so limits the usefulness of the headset- Software leaves a lot to be desired- USB dongle required so it will take up a USB port- No Bluetooth support- Limited to 16-bit 48khz audio- No EQ to adjust audio- Shuts off after 10 minutes with no audio (and no ability to change this)- DTS:X support is either a trial or limited basis (couldn’t get mine to activate the DTS:X license)- HyperX support is terrible, so don’t expect help if you need itA decent headset with good audio and some annoying limitations that aren’t enough for me to dock it a star. The price is good, especially if you can find it discounted closer to $50. While not an audiophile-quality headset, the sound it does put out is surprisingly good across the board. I have not been disappointed by audio from music, movies, games, or even Zoom meetings. It is slightly bass heavy, and unfortunately (unlike some of the more expensive HyperX headsets) there is no equalizer to adjust this.However, if you want a simple headset that you don’t need to fiddle around with, this should more than meet your needs. The flip-to-mute mic is always a welcome addition, and this one works well, with clear vocal audio. I wouldn’t recommend this if you want to record podcasts, although it will certainly do in a pinch. It seems to handle everything quite well.I primarily use this as a backup headset when my primary headset dies, but I’m generally surprised with it each time I put it on. HyperX software and support leave A LOT to be desired, and I wish they would work on that, but with the affordable cost combined with the audio quality from the cans and microphone, I give these a lukewarm 5 stars. 4.5 stars is what I would give this if I could give it a half-star rating.

Incredible durability and quality for such a low price, this is a MUST for gamers on a budget
The HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless Gaming Headset has truly impressed me with its performance and comfort. The lightweight design and DTS Headphonetechnology deliver an immersive gaming experience, making it a favorite for long sessions. The sound quality is outstanding, with clear audio and robust bass that enhances every game.While the adjustable mic piece has become a bit loose after several years of use, this is a minor issue considering the headset’s overall durability and continued performance. Despite this small drawback, the headset has consistently delivered exceptional value and reliability. For anyone seeking a high-quality, wireless gaming headset, the HyperX Cloud Stinger Core is a top choice that absolutely deserves a five-star rating.

Très satisfaite!

I’ve used the HyperX Cloud Stinger headset for a couple of years now, and it’s still going strong. It’s super comfortable during those long gaming sessions, the 7.1 surround sound is spot-on, and the noise-cancelling mic really cuts out background noise. The wireless connection is rock-solid and has a surprisingly long range. If you’re looking for a solid headset that can handle long hours and deliver clear audio, this one’s a great pick!

I NEVER dropped my headset, good take care of it and it just failed me in a middle of a competitive game for no good reason. A shame for the price!EDIT: They send me a new headset as replacement.
