- Is the Cloud Stinger 2 good for competitive gaming?
- Yes for the basics: it is light, the mic is clear and DTS Headphone:X gives directional cues on PC. It lacks the metal frame and detachable cable of pricier HyperX models.
- Does the surround sound work on consoles?
- DTS Headphone:X is activated through HyperX's PC software, so the virtual surround is a PC feature. On consoles you get standard stereo over the wired connection.
- Is the microphone detachable?
- No. The boom mic flips up to mute but stays attached to the left earcup.
- How does it compare with the original Cloud Stinger?
- The Stinger 2 adds DTS Headphone:X spatial audio and a wider frequency range while keeping the light plastic build, swiveling earcups and flip-to-mute mic.
- Will it fit large heads and glasses wearers?
- The headband extends and the earcups swivel, so it fits most head sizes. Glasses wearers may feel pressure from the leatherette pads over long sessions.
- What connections does it use?
- It is a wired 3.5 mm headset, so it works with PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch controllers that have a headphone jack. A PC splitter cable is included for separate mic and headphone ports.
