Pros
Cons
Bought as a replacement for the Hator Hypergang, which had one earphone fail after 3 years and the entire headband peeled off. In terms of price/quality ratio, it's quite decent, although there was initially a problem with the quiet microphone, but this was all fixed by reinstalling the driver and adjusting it in the Realtek Audio Console. Price quiet microphone but can be fixed with software adjustments  Alex Ham: use HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core less than month |
But keep in mind that if you have your own equalizer, you will need to set it up again. Very good sound and microphone. Very lightweight and sit comfortably on the head, your head doesn't get tired from them. That's not the case.  Andrei Zubkov : use HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core few months |

Popular questions
Is it true that the headset microphone is quiet?
The microphone transmits speech clearly and filters out background noise, but its baseline sensitivity is indeed quite low. Buyers note that the volume can easily be increased using the standard software gain control in the sound card settings.Source:Expert reviewsUser Reviews
How do I adjust the volume and turn off the microphone?
The volume wheel is located directly on the earcup, and the microphone automatically mutes when its boom is raised vertically. You won’t have to search for buttons on the cable while gaming.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
How do the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core sound in games?
The sound is tuned with an emphasis on punchy bass and smooth treble, making explosions, gunshots, and footsteps sound spacious and expressive. This tuning is excellent for games and action-packed films, although it may lack the accuracy required for professional audio work.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
Is it comfortable to wear the headphones for several hours straight?
The weight of just 272 grams and moderate clamping force allow you to play for hours without fatigue or pressure on the crown of your head. The fabric ear cushions provide good airflow; however, due to the resilient foam, they may fit slightly less snugly if you wear glasses.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviewsUser Reviews
How do the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core connect to a PC and other devices?
The headset connects via a combined 3.5 mm plug, while the included splitter adapter is provided for computers with separate audio jacks. The two-meter cable is long enough to reach the system unit under the desk.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
