In an increasingly saturated peripheral market, HyperX are hoping their new Cloud Stinger can become the ‘go-to' headset if you are on a budget. Priced at £49.99, it comes in cheaper than the acclaimed Cloud and Cloud II headsets while keeping familiar features from those devices, including memory foam ear pads and a flexible boom mic. With its svelte, matte-black finish, the Cloud Stinger is also an attractive piece of kit – but how good is it? Let's find out.

HyperX have built up a great reputation for quality headsets over the last few years, thanks to their Cloud and Cloud II devices. Those headsets are towards the pricier end of the spectrum, though, so HyperX hope the new Cloud Stinger will appeal to the mass-market in a way those premium headsets cannot manage to do. However, we would still expect good quality for £49.99, so let's dive right into the review – where we look at build quality, practicality and audio performance before giving a final verdict.
