HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 vs Cloud Stinger 2 Core

Күн бұрын

Hey everybody - if you’ve done any research on these, you’ll know that there are very few differences between these two headsets: driver size, ear cushions, and some quality of life improvements. The standard Cloud Stinger 2 comes with 50 mm drivers, leatherette memory foam ear cushions, and rotatable ear cups whereas the Stinger 2 Core has 40 mm drivers, fabric ear cushions, and non-rotatable ear cups. That’s it; there’s the list. How does that translate into actual use? Well, to keep it simple, I think the Stinger 2 sounds better and the Stinger 2 Core is more comfortable to wear. The 50 mm drivers definitely put out boomier audio but I’ve never loved leatherette ear cushions, especially for long sessions. In my mind, HyperX should have just released one version of this with 50 mm drivers and provided swappable ear cushions in the box. Other than that, both of these are great budget options for anyone looking for a sub-50 dollar headset. The quality is there, the audio is what you should expect for 40 bucks, and the microphone is surprisingly good.
Hope the video helps with any purchasing decisions or questions you had about these. Thanks for watching and have a great week.

I didn't think that reviews like this existed. It's so straightforward, honest, without any plugs and just a perfect answer to my question, "What's the difference between them?" Thank you!

My ears are uneven so I usually depend on swivel to maximize comfort on my head. I haven't worn headphones around my neck since 1998 so that's not what I use swivel for. And it's absolutely a selling point for me, even though it might not be for others. I had no idea the non-Core version of these had swivel, so I appreciate the comparison so I know which one to get.

the funny thing is those people who complaining about their headphones (even if its a $40 budget or a hi-fi) mostly using them with a shitty $5 PCI plug and play onboard sound cards that comes with their motherboard and then they expect a decent performans from them. the other funny thing is most of the youtubers doesn't even warn their viewers for that they need a decent sound card in the first place to get that quality when they reviewing a headphone or a mic. anyway I just ordered one of those stinger 2 cores because pretty much the same reasons as yours and glad that I have an average sound card to make it a real banger. I believe cloud stinger models are perfect for their price tag even today. great review btw, straight forward no bullshit no nothing. thank you -you've got yourself a new subscriber here

Are the Cloud Singer 2's better than the Logitech G432's? Where i live they are both in the same price range, i had the chance to try out G432's and they sounded good. I've heard people have mixed opinions about the sound quality of the G432's, some say its good and some say its bad. Is the sound quality on the cloud stingers better?

The HyperX cloud Stinger 2’s sounds better than all of Razors headsets and they have ones that cost $200. HyperX headset speakers use neodymium magnets so they give better sound quality than other headsets with 50mm drives. The only budget headset that is better than the HyperX cloud stinger 2’s are the HyperX clouds and cloud Alphas because they have 53mm drivers but not by much. Sennheiser makes a better gaming headset than any of HyperX’s and that’s the sennheiser 560s wired headset that cost $230. A $230 wireless headset is a budget headset and you are paying for the wireless features and those $230 wireless headsets have wired versions that cost $100 so yes you do get the sound of a $100 headset for $40 or $50 with the HyperX Cloud stinger 2 and you get a even better sound with the Hyper X Cloud’s and Cloud Alphas. You don’t get the sound of a $100 headset with the HyperX stinger 2 cores because they only have 40mm drivers but they are still better than the Logitech G335’s that have 40mm drivers because of the neodymium magnetic. The cores sound like a $75 headset that sounds better than all of the turtle beach headsets. Roccat is a German manufacturer that makes their drivers with neodymium magnets but their headsets with 50mm drivers cost more than the HyperX’s. They have the Roccat Elo with 40mm drivers and neodymium magnets and you can get them on sale for the same price as the Stinger 2 cores
