Customers have mixed opinions about the sound quality of the headphones. Some mention that it has good sound, with strong bass and tweet. The maximum volume is perfect for them, and the over the ear cup isolates outside sound well. However, others say that the headphones are faulty, give muffled sounds, and produce bad quality audio.

Bought this headset for $59.00 AUD.

FOR:
1) good sound, with strong bass and tweet. High volume not recommended as the sound breaks/muffle and blow your ears.
2) comfortable ear-cup which cover over the ears, and not tight on my ears.
3) 3.5mm jack can be used in my legacy devices.
4) Surround sound works well.

Against:
1) High volume give muffle (break) sounds. Off course this cheap headset cannot be compared high-end ones.

Adorei o fone de ouvido. Acopla bem na cabeça: é confortável e não tem nenhum elemento que venha a machucar. O som fica bem alto e seu ajuste de volume simples é ótimo em momentos precisos. Seu microfone eu ainda não fiz o teste, mas seu design me agradou muito - além de ter uma ótima funcionalidade de desligar enquanto levantado.

Reviewed in Canada on 4 October 2020
Colour: BlackStyle: StingerVerified Purchase
Sounds fine, if you aren't too particular about audio, you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between these and much more expensive headphones. The most expensive pair of headphones I own is the Bose QC35 II at over 300 dollars, and I can only tell a slight difference between them while listening to music and focusing very closely on the differences.

If you have a big head, I must say that this is one of the few headsets I have had that doesn't give me a headache in 3 hours (I have an exceptionally big head and headsets that are too heavy or clamps down on my head give me headaches very very quickly). Compared to the Bose QC35 II which gives me a headache within about two hours (though that one does have better sound quality and noise cancelling and is wireless so they aren't really comparable products), this was pretty good, though I suspect that 5+ hours of use won't be possible without some breaks. Not as good as the cheap Edifier G10 that I had that were comfortable enough for indefinite use (of course that thing has very cheap build quality, not bad, but a cheap product is a cheap product, and that is probably one of the reasons it was easier on my head).

The microphone records sounds very clearly, though it is also very very sensitive and picks up even the lowest sounds like the rumblings of my stomach or the low hum of my laptop fans from across the room. I would recommend figuring out how to use the windows built-in background noise reduction, and getting a pop filter is probably a good idea as well.

Flip to mute for the mic and the slider volume controls on the headset are a nice touch, especially as the flip to mute gives you a little click at the point where it mutes / unmutes, and I like the tactile feedback.

The headset comes with a single 4-pin headset/mic combo plug at a reasonable length (a massive improvement over the G10 I've been using, which had a cable that was way too long to route properly when using a laptop), but also has a decently long extension cable that splits off into separate mic and audio plugs, which is a nice touch as those are usually used with PCs and a desktop PC is usually farther away.

A flaw of the cable, though, is that while flexible, it's good build quality means that it is quite thick and thus has some stiffness despite the soft material used. This stiffness causes sound to kind-of travel up the cable, so if you knock it against anything or rub along it, that sound is somewhat amplified through the left earpiece.

Update: A year and a half later, the mic broke. I don't know when or why, but I took a 2 week break from streaming, and when I came back, it was broken. I plugged in different headphones into the same port and verified that yes it indeed broke.

Before this, the left earpiece was getting quieter and quieter since about a few months ago, until eventually, I couldn't hear anything out of it, except when I was able to nudge the volume roller to specific values, at which point it would be fine (this was only a problem at lower volumes).

I am keeping the rating at 5 stars, though. I don't blame HyperX's poor build quality, because I myself have been quite rough with the headset and it has gone through a fair bit of wear and tear through no fault but my own. It's literally been flown around the world with me twice. It has been yanked, dropped, more or less tested to its limits. I broke my laptop's headset port before I broke these headphones. I don't think the fact that the headset broke is a strike against HyperX, but rather a testament to the build quality that the headset served me for this long despite me not being particularly careful with it. This update to the review was simply to note the unexpected longevity of this headset despite the 50-60 CAD price range.

The one small gripe I have is with the quality of the earcups. The foam is comfortable and the fit is snug, but after about a year, the pleather began coming off. Now, once again, I used these headphones a LOT, and I know well how much sweat can damage pleather, but if this is a problem you've experienced in the past, I'd honestly recommend the cheaper HyperX Cloud Stringer Core as an alternative. It apparently has 40 mm instead of 50 mm drivers, but the outer material of the earcup is fabric rather than pleather.

I'm looking for a more premium headset to replace this one now, but if I can't find anything I like, I will probably buy this same headset again (or the core variant, though it feels wrong to go for a "downgrade").

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Budget Gaming Headset
Reviewed in Germany on 15 November 2021
Colour: BlackStyle: StingerVerified Purchase
Very well balanced sound, great quality mic, voice chat is very clear. It fits comfortably on the head. The only thing to be wary of is if you wear glasses: with the shape of my head, it is slightly uncomfortable to wear both the headset and my glasses - I need to move the legs of my glasses to sit above the cushions of the headset. For my friend, he doesn't need to do that and his glasses fit comfortably while wearing the headset
