Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I needed headphones with a mic so I could use Discord. Previously, I had been making do with the in-built mic on my DEXP Atlas H104 laptop and a pair of Sennheiser CX 300-II headphones. However, the keyboards and cooling pad noises carried over into the spoken conversation. I spent $4490 on a HyperX Cloud Stinger. As of the 21st of December, 2022 Editorial consensus was used to make the final decision. The microphone glowed even though it was in its "off" position when first plugged into a laptop using a native two-socket extension cord. Reinstalling the audio driver fixed the issue. There were no other issues discovered. In general, the headset was satisfying; it does what it's supposed to do. Conversation partners are oblivious to background noises such as the click of a button or the clack of a stand. Since I haven't tried the headset before, I can't make any kind of comparison. Only time will tell how strong and long-lasting it is.

Pros
  • 1) Outward appearance and color scheme (black and red). Wears well; Superior headset packing, number two; Third: A passable microphone pick-up; Adjusting the microphone's distance from the speaker's mouth is a fourth feature; 5. The in-ear monitors do not annoy me with their noise.
Cons
  • No. 1: Drippy ears. Discomfort sets on after an hour, forcing you to take it off; Two-hand removal is required because the bowls rotate. Third, the sound is only coming from the left speaker when the right speaker's volume "rocker" is set to the minimum position (that is, not completely off the sound, but 1% of audibility). When the level is turned up, everything is back to normal. (I don't know if this is the right way to do it or not.)
