Our take on the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2
The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 is a wired gaming headset with DTS spatial audio, a budget way to hear game audio and talk to friends. At a tracked $49.99 it sits at the top of its $29.99 to $49.99 range since June 2026, so this is a wait-for-a-sale buy: it has been $20 cheaper.
The spec sheet lists 32 ohm impedance and a dynamic driver. Earcups rotate, and the listing highlights comfort. As a headset it includes a mic, which suits chat but not a main stream mic. Reading the listing, it gives few details on the mic or cable, so check those before buying. Rated 4.3 across 7,743 retailer ratings.
- Low tracked price near $30 at its best
- DTS spatial audio listed
- Rotating earcups
- Tracked price is at the top of its range
- Listing gives few mic and cable details
- Headset mic is a comms mic, not a stream mic
Where it fits in a build
Monitor your audio. Closed-back headphones (no mic) are the pro pick if you mic separately; a headset adds a mic for comms or casual use. See every headphones / headset pick

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
