I owned Stinger 1 for 4 years. Stinger 2 audio is slightly louder, its lighter, the height adjustment dial is clear, it fits on ears tighter, the volume control is a wheel instead of a slider and the mic position and distance is better. Audio is less bass and more clear but some audio is CSGO were too sharp on ears. These are the features they improved in comparison. What they downgraded is the materials and packaging. Packaging from Stinger 1 was better and unboxing experience was much better. Stinger 2 feels like unboxing a Rs500 headphones. In Stinger 1 the steel band ran across from ear to ear, in Stinger 2 it just at the top which makes the ear piece joints feel clunky and fragile in comparison. The wire joint to headphone feels less secured too. The memory foam gets hot on long usage faster than Stinger 1. The splitter provided is shorter and if you have pc cabinet on separate table to show off RGB then you need new longer splitter cable. I had to change back panel setting from mic to line-in then back to mic in Realtek for Windows to recognize the new input device (that could be software bug from Realtek but it never happened before with other mic devices). The mesh under the cloth on drivers dont feel like its metal or at least it feels less strong which means cost cutting there also. So A rank for audio and improving drawback of Stinger 1 but C rank for downgrading build quality.

Product is definitely good and comfortable , it’s good for mid lvl gaming and you can go pro level gaming also …..surround sound is also prefect but sound is little low due to its speakers size tho its definitely worth to buy.

Its an awesome headphone for gaming even in long sesions, it has a good range to spread the set for big heads, and its confortable, has a great quality for the price you pay, the mic is good if you dont have a dedicated one for streaming, with a little filter to improve, easy acces to low volume on the side and to mute the mic. Overall i recommend this for begginers with a low budget 30$ its probably one of the best yyou can get

Edit: Mic volume decreased suddenly today. Now even with mic volume at 100 sound is too low. Going for replacement, let’s see. Edit 2: Now Mic is somehow working okay.
Original Review: As a long term user of Cloud Stinger 1 I have to say that the Stinger 2 is not plug and play and needs tweaking with equaliser. The sound is a bit more muffled mainly because it has a lower treble accuracy than Stinger 1. Also the DTS Surround is a gimmick, everything sounds better without it.
The build quality and plastics are better than the Stinger 1 but somehow the headband adjustments and hinges are quite loose as compared to Generation 1, the headphone moves around even with a simple push.

We got a defective product where the left side sound was lower than the right side, it was unexpected as this headphones was not on the cheap side, also the overall quality of the headphones were disappointing tbh.

The sound quality is great as with most hyperx products. The only problem with these headsets ( and it can be quite irritating in everyday use ) is the quality of the cable. The cable used in these headsets are rubbery and they get twisted A LOT. Its really hard to keep it straight and the twists have caused permanent bends in the cable. Makes me doubtful if the product will last even an year

The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core is an outstanding choice for any PC gamer seeking a top-tier gaming headset. Its combination of lightweight design and comfort make for a truly immersive gaming experience. The 40mm drivers deliver rich and clear audio, ensuring you never miss a beat in your favorite games.
One of its standout features is the swivel-to-mute function, which is not only convenient but also adds a layer of control to your in-game communication. The microphone quality is excellent, ensuring that your voice comes through loud and clear to your teammates.
I love the sleek black design of this headset; it’s both stylish and functional. The build quality is top-notch, and it feels durable, so it should withstand long gaming sessions.
What’s even more impressive is the affordability of the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core. It offers exceptional value for the price, making it accessible for gamers of all levels.
In summary, this headset has it all: great sound, comfort, microphone quality, and affordability. If you’re looking to enhance your gaming experience without breaking the bank, the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core is an excellent choice.
