The HyperX Cloud Stinger is a lightweight headset that is adjustable to fit comfortably on your head. The microphone can easily be adjusted by swinging it up or down. Now there is no built in mute button, but you can swivel the microphone up to mute. You will know the microphone is muted when you hear a click.

After several days of gaming with the headset, I've noticed how crisp the sound quality is compared to previous headsets I've used. Excellent for hearing those footsteps in H1Z1. Now I have run into periods where I heard static, but that was from pushing the volume levels higher than mid range.

I am also pleasantly pleased with the voice quality the microphone provides. When I switched to using this headset I found it easier to pick up my voice and have been told I sound a lot clearer.

HyperX Cloud Stinger is available directly through HyperX or you can purchase from Amazon. For more information, visit HyperXGaming.
