This has lasted me 3+ years, and cords have been fraying but I don’t blame it- the amount of time I snagged the wires and moved houses with these are a lot.Fit: Fit is great, it’s snug for hours on my head for long days on the computer. I don’t like the length of the cord and I don’t know anyone who would need more than 5 feet in cord for their computers!! The cords get snagged on everything and I can’t turn my head quickly or move around like I want. However mine never unplugged from the adjustment connection.Mic: 1 Star taken off for overall mic pickup quality. People can hear me in real life but can HARDLY hear me with this headset on its raw unedited settings. I am a soft quiet talker, but not to a whisper level. I have to request people turn my personal avatar volume to %200 just to hear me as normal. …However, when you can hear me it is very crisp nice ASMR level quality which I do like. It picks up my throat swallowing, especially with water, unintentionally. My friends make a joke out of it which I like, but I know others that wouldn’t. It’s a mixed bag.The mic when clicked up to physically mute has a loud click that I assume gets picked up in voice calls all the time but doesn’t.. And sometimes it feels like it isn’t actually digitally muted and is still picking up things/trying to listen in haha.. Not sure thoughSound: Sound quality is great, but the volume control is finicky too sometimes. If I move the dial a MILLIMETER past the halfway point, the sound buzzes off entirely. Not a great reliable dial/volume control— I rely more on the digital computer volume control.

Comprei por 130 na promoção, é um bom headset pra quem não quer gastar muito e quer ter uma qualidade boa, podia ter sido entregue um pouco antes mas foi no ultimo dia do prazo, bem embalado e chegou funcionando normalmente, usando a menos de 1 mês.Pontos Positivos:áudio muito bom para jogos, da pra ouvir os passos bem nitidamente pra quem joga cs, valorant, etc;tem um abafador bom, se alguém estiver falando do seu lado não da pra ouvir, só se tirar uma parte do fone, mas se tiver um barulho muito alto não vai abafar;as conchas são de couro logo não vai ter aquele problema de descascar igual os outros fones;o cabo é bem longo, consigo me levantar de fone e chegar no outro lado do quarto, claro que o quarto é pequeno também kk, mas é bem grande o cabo;o microfone tem uma qualidade razoável também, nem muito ruim e nem muito bom.Pontos Negativos:o microfone não tem uma supressão de ruído com boa qualidade, ex: uso ventilador do meu lado e como ele não vem com a borracha que geralmente todos os fones vem ele não consegue abafar o som do ventilador, por isso precisei procurar um programa pra fazer isso e conseguir usar o discord, vou comentar isso como dica;não achei muito confortável na parte de cima que fica na cabeça, mas deve ser questão de costume;o fio não tem um revestimento muito agradável, logo precisa tomar cuidado pra não danificar ele.Dica: no meu caso eu não consegui usar a supressão de ruído do discord, precisei instalar o "RTX VOICE", programa da Nvidia pra suprimir o ruído tanto de entrada como de saída, bem fácil de usar podem procurar vídeo no youtube explicando sobre, enfim só consegui realmente usar o headset usando esse programa, assim não fica com o barulho de ventilador, pra quem usa central pode ser que não precise, só testando pra saber.

Bought this headset for $59.00 AUD.FOR:1) good sound, with strong bass and tweet. High volume not recommended as the sound breaks/muffle and blow your ears.2) comfortable ear-cup which cover over the ears, and not tight on my ears.3) 3.5mm jack can be used in my legacy devices.4) Surround sound works well.Against:1) High volume give muffle (break) sounds. Off course this cheap headset cannot be compared high-end ones.

Estou usando para meu trabalho (basicamente meetings)Pros:- O áudio é excelente;- Ele abafa bem o som exterior;- Tem um alcance excelente, consegui ir até o corredor do meu prédio com a porta fechada;- Tem a funcionalidade de deixar no mudo somente mudando a posição do microfone para cima e o microfone é dobrável;- O material do fone parece ser bem resistente;- O encaixe é bom e tem boas almofadas nas orelhas e espuma no arco do fone;Cons:- Veio com uns lascadinhos na lateral do fone, nada que me incomode.- Ele é grande e mais pesado do que os headsets que eu estava acostumado, gera um pouco de desconforto inicialmente, mas acostuma... E mesmo após as 8 horas eu não tive dores nas orelhas ou cabeça;- Ele não é dobrável em nenhum ponto e ainda não achei uma case para ele, eu que gosto muito de guardar o fone em uma case senti um pouco de falta;Resultado: Um bom fone wireless com um preço justo, recomendo!

Me decidí por comprar estos audífonos después de probar varias diademas diseñadas para conferencias (Plantronics y Microsoft), y darme cuenta que después de un rato eran demasiado incómodas para escuchar música mientras trabajo. Estaba entre estos y unos Razer Kraken del mismo precio, pero aquellos no me convencieron por parecer frágiles. Yo utilizo esta diadema para dos cosas: entrar a conferencias del trabajo y para oir música mientras trabajo.Pros:- Precio: Unas buenas diademas para conferencias cuestan arriba de 2000 pesos (Jabra, por ejemplo)- Calidad de las gomas de las orejas: Aislan perfectamente el ruido de la casa, lo cual es ideal en esta nueva anormalidad- Comodidad: las gomas no quedan sobre la oreja, sino alrededor de éstas. También la parte superior es acolchada- Ergonomía: al poder girar los audifonos 90º sobre su eje, estos se acoplan a la forma de la cabeza- Tiene entrada de 3.5mm: Para mí es una ventaja porque tengo una Macbook pro, de esas que no tienen puertos USB, así que poder usar esta entrada me ahorra un puerto USB del docking- Tiene cuerpo de acero: al abrir la diadema para ajustarlas a mi cabeza, queda al descubierto acero, no plástico como en otras marcasContras:- Micrófono: puede no ser su punto más fuerte. Sin embargo, debido a que está hecho de un material flexible, es posible acercarlo más a la boca para que se escuche más alto. Es importante recalcar que no se oyen horrible, pero he escuchado gente con diademas gamer que tienen mayor calidad- Controles de audio: serían perfectas si tuvieran controles de audio y para mutear al micrófono en el cableEn general, de las diademas de esta marca, fueron las que más me gustaron por el diseño y mi presupuesto (las otras me parecen muy llamativas), y es una excelente opción para el trabajo. No sé qué tan buenas sean para los juegos, pero supongo que no me cansaría de jugar con ellas varias horas seguidas.

Updated to 5 stars all in all this headset is great and once I got used to it, it was very comfortable. I have decided this headset does everything I need for now so I’m going to wait to order one with a mixer and more features. I’ve gotten used to the mic mute flip feature with more time and now it’s not so strange muting and adjusting volume (note: I normally adjust volume from Xbox mixer settings instead of the volume adjuster on the headset).SUMMARY: I bought the Hyperx Cloud Stinger and at this time I’m giving 4 stars, however it is most likely a 5 Star Headset I just want some time to make sure. So far I I can honestly say this headset is well worth it just keep in mind I’ve only had it for about a week! It’s very comfortable, has great sound, a great price, seems to be working great with Xbox One, and is made with quality! I don’t think you find a headset in this price range that’s better than this one and many say this headset is better than very expensive ones from what I’ve read. I may wind up getting another Hyperx Cloud headset with a Audio mixer and mute button since I’m not sure I’ll get used to moving the mic up and down to mute it as you have to do with the Stinger (I’m used to a mute button by the controller which makes it fast and simple to mute) and I would like to control volume settings without going into my Xbox audio settings or hopefully Xbox makes a simplier option to this and muting. (You don’t need the adapter with this headset for Xbox one if you have the controller with a 3.5mm jack)Long Review (Still updating and pending final product rating):COMFORT: They are very comfortable to me (I am a female and most aren’t comfortable to me and are too big but without this headset adjusted at all it fits pretty comfortably). When it’s adjusted to be larger it fits my boyfriend as well so this is a great headset for either female or male.SOUND:I’m not audio/sound wizard or professional but the sound so far is very good. I’ve mainly played Fortnite br and Destiny 2 with this headset. I’m still messing around with different games to see the difference between different noises and using the volume mixer settings on Xbox One to see what sounds best. On Xbox One I’m able to press the home button, go over to System, and then to Audio to control the headset volume, adjust headset chat mixer, or mic montitoring. This headset does have the slider on the right ear so you are able on XB1 to get all your volume levels setup and then just use the volume slider on the headset ear if it’s to loud or quiet. Now that I have messed around with it a bit more I don’t find the need to go back into the audio settings on Xbox to adjust them, I have left them at a certain level that seems to be working great. However, for me I liked having all those volume control settings next to the controller but again maybe I can get used to it. Last thing is I’m messing around with trying Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos for headphones since I read you can use these features with headphones that don’t have surround sound or do have it and as some say it makes a world of a difference... I’m still testing this out on Xbox One to see if they do make a difference with sound.MIC/PARTY CHAT: Using Xbox party chat is huge and a must for me. I use it to talk to my boyfriend who I play games with from different rooms as well as friends. The first day I got these, I connected to a party chat and instantly he stated it was making a humming or some sort of low pitched noise. He isn’t into tech issues or troubleshooting so this was very hard for me to fix or understand since only he heard this noise. The next day he said he doesn’t hear it at all but I’m still a bit concerned so I’ll be trying to join other people in a party to see if they hear anything not right. Update: it looks like this issue may have went away and was either related to being new, my boyfriends headset, and/or me being in the Xbox insider alpha program.MUTE FEATURE: The other thing that may just be something I have to get used to is the mic mute method on this headset, having to pull the mic up or down is something I feel takes more time than just pressing a mute button like I’m used to but like I said maybe I’ll get used to it. My boyfriend likes the mute method that the Stinger has more than me since he has a habit of putting up his mic even with his mic not having this feature. I think this is just a preference and dependent on if you can get used to it.OVERALL RATING: 9/10 I would recommend this headset to someone. For the price and the quality you get I don’t feel there’s a better headset you’ll find!! I hope my review helps you and if you have any questions leave a comment to this review and I’ll reply ASAP.Note: I would also greatly appreciate it if my review was helpful for you, if you could please click the “was helpful” button below.

FIrst off, this is a great value for the money, its hands-down a very solid headset. I have some audiophile headsets and high end wired and wireless headsets, so I have been running the Stinger's through some gaming and music to compare. I purchased these because we have the Cloud I's and the Cloud II's in our home and I have had them for several years and they still look like new, so I knew that it would be comfortable and the sound signature would be tuned fairly well. These are a little more bass heavy in a standard gaming setup w/o a amp or Astro mixamp. The lows are very good, mids are decent, and the highs are good. Basically, the 53mm drives from the Clouds have been placed in these as 50 mm drivers because the only thing i can tell on audible testing is that the mids are clearer on my Cloud II's for gaming and music. If you use a mixamp then that is when you will not be able to tell the difference between Cloud I's or II's. I use these with a mixamp TR and they are very comfortable. I have large ears and these completely cover them while also providing decent noise cancellation. Something of note here regarding the noise cancellation, it is passive and is not as good as the Cloud II's, but I feel that the Cloud I and the II clamp down a little hard on my head and the Stingers do not clamp down. The memory foam ear pads and the lightweight frame make this a headset you will hardly notice. The build quality seems very good and as for the mic, it works fine and I have had no issues for this week of use. I would sum it up as 50 bucks well spent if you are on a budget or just looking for a comfortable headset because the Stinger's are both of those.Now a few drawbacks I see about the headset from my perspective. The mic stays attached the entire time, so that may be a negative to some. Also no built in mic monitoring that I can tell in my mic testing I have done so far. On XB1 you can setup mic monitoring within the accesories app with a newer controller model with a 3.5 mm jack and place it to an acceptable range. On PS4 testing it is pretty much no mic monitoring, but for 50 bucks I will say that everything all works with no glaring issues and again it is mixamp friendly which is super attractive. I would definitely take these over my A40 TR's just on the fact of comfort alone, not to mention the price. I hope that Kingston ultimately takes this exact Stinger build and makes it into a Stinger II with some higher level build quality and even wireless, that would be the best gaming headset around.TLDR; The Stinger is a super comfy, mixamp friendly headset that sounds really close to its big brother the Cloud I and II's. Your going to be hard pressed to spend 50 bucks and find a better headset. I have compared many more expensive headsets to these and sound and comfort wise, these are right there with those headsets.If my review of the Kingston HyperX Cloud Stinger has helped you make a decision about purchasing please give me a postive rating.
