Thank you for the article written on making a webcam source have filters in one scene and not others. It was clear concise and super helpful. :)
thanks for the review mate, my old headphone is finally broken and my friend recommend me hyperx cloud stinger, but when i was going to buy it, turns out there's 2 version of it, so this review is really helping me
Really a nice video, you talk about all the things i want to know before buying something, and the effort you put in the video its very noticeable. Something that a lot of people dont care about is the separations your doing in the vid but i really thank you for that, is more easy that way, againt thanks for the video and you passion
Really love the way you did this video. Smart idea for video series👍👍👍
He makes the video very detailed so we know everything about the headset before we get it
Thank you for making these reviews! I really like your in-depth review about headset for gaming, bass mid high audio quality, footsteps in game, and comparing to other headsets.
If you can make video to compare about Cloud Stinger vs Original Cloud Alpha (Not S) vs Cloud 2 vs Arctis 5, that would be awesome.
Cheers, Good luck!
I use cloud stinger and arctis 5..
I choose hyperx..
Coz of mute function..
I use it for my streaming..
Thank you for making this video 😎
Nice review thanks man you helped me order the right headset
wow thank you, the review is very helpful
Great review man. Subscribed!
Thank you for making these reviews 😊
Thanks a lot, for that complete and helpful video
very pro review, man, respect!
Very useful video! I was conflicted for which one I should purchase.
Thank you so much for review
I really appreaciate you took the time to make this video, I was looking for the mic test about the stinger s just to see how the "noise cancelling" works because around here there are many dogs, but I think this mic won't work for that
Excellent review. Have you tried the stinger 2 core and if so has the material on the ear cups improved? Thanks
This is what im waiting for..
Hahaha nice!!!
I love this vid..
Thanks for this vid..
nice showcase , ty
Hi! Thanks for the video.
I have a doubt. If I have a laptop with a 3.5mm (mic and headset), why I should get the Cloud Stinger S with USB dongle? Maybe I misunderstood you
I had the cloud stinger for 2 years and the microphone just detached from the base, I had to glue it lol
Nice job! Brazilian here.
I own a laptop and I am confused until the moment to choose which of them is because you said in another video that hyperx cloud stinger s is good for a laptop, knowing that the laptop has a 3.5 input, so what do you advise me about in them and is there a better headset than them in the current period at a price of 50 dollars ??
I've bought my Cloud Stinger headset way back in 2018, I think it was around 50$. The only thing that had an Issue was the Microphone after 2-3 years of use. The mute option stopped working and eventually the microphone was falling down by itself everytime when I tried to pull it up. It eventually also stopped working. Other than that, the sound is the same like it was on the first day when I bought them. I Personally think that the headset is truly amazing for this price.
Good video :)
u deserve more views
Thanks!
Honestly i bought a cloud stinger core, when plugged it n my asus rog strix b550, i set amplification to extreem and the sound is great, i hear everything in game, it also comes with 2 years activation code for dts... As far as im concerned it might not be the best, but its mire than what a gamer needs
The laptop i am buying has 3.5 microphone/headphone combo jack is that means that i will be able to use the audio and mic of the hyper x cloud stringer? Plz answer asap
Can't say. Mic doesn't work with my laptop so I don't really have a way to test.
is core pink and green or usb? for PC, I might buy it
perfect video.
TH-cam auto translation CC keeps repeating *Cloud Stinker* for some reason.
great review, thanks i almost bought the core
can u recommend a gaming headphone for ps5 which has good enough bass?
Hii. So far am trying to decide on either the cloud stingers $50 vs stinger S $35 vs Razer Kraken (2019 version not the V3's) $50. I also only plan to use on ps5 and maybe some music and movies on a phone so I do not think the whole surround sound thing will even apply since no on a PC right? Which would you recommend of the three?
Correct about the surround sound, though I heard the PS5 has some built-in effect if you wanted that anyway. I'd get the Kraken 2019, beats out the Stingers pretty clean.
Well played
In your opinion what is better
Cloud alpha or stinger?
Alpha easily. Sound is way better. But Stinger is more comfortable, feels closer to the Cloud II.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews bro thank you so much 😁
It was really helpful 😄
Your hair is so cool
The real question - which of these mics allow your Warzone teammates to hear you the most clearly? The quality of the audio output only matters to me enough to hear footsteps and enemies so I don't care about that quality level. The only reason I'm dumping my ultra cheap headset is so my teammates can hear me better - any chance you can speak to that?
If you really want a better mic, I think you should buy a standalone mic. Even $150 headsets have trash mics. The Stinger's mic is the best here but you can spend $30 on a Fifine mic and get better quality than that.
Speaking for 95% of players of Warzone, I'm more asking for Console - where analog jack into your controller is the only good option. Even in reviews of the very expensive wireless headsets that can pair with the console, the mic audio is just as poor as the analog headsets! I guess hooking up a USB mic and using a different device to chat (maybe using earbuds under the headset to hear the chat) is the only good mic audio console players can get. In other words - there's no good mic for Console players!
@@pkopalek No, you can just use literally any headphones or headset and any USB mic on console at the same time. You can use the Stinger with a Blue Yeti or really any combination.
Hey! I wanted to buy the Cloud Stinger S but my laptop doesn't have a green and Pink jack only 1 so what should I do? Thanks
Stinger S is USB anyway so you just use that.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews Oh k thanks but sorry I meant the Cloud Stinger !!
@@mohammadnawabnawabi1266 In that case I think the Stinger S is the safer choice. Your 3.5 mm jack might be a combo jack, but the only way to know would be to test after you already bought one.
the core mic is reallyyyyyyy nice
Just save my life, I was very confused
I saw testers say the Stinger S was better than headsets quadruple it's price. The sound was great and the mics were crystal clear.
Quadruple the price?... What headsets were those? Cause if you buy the Stinger S expecting it to be better than the Cloud 2, Astro A40, or even the Arctis 5, you're going to be quite disappointed.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews the ASTRO a40's mic sounded like dogcrap in comparison
@@Ripskiis They both sound like dog crap compared to real mics if we're being honest. There are very few gaming headsets with decent mics (such as Corsair HS80, Audio Technica BPHS1). If you want a good mic, it's better to just spend $30 on a real mic like a Fifine K669B.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews well yea headset mics are gonna be dooky but from what I heard even in your test here for a headset mic this one is pretty good
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews The Cloud Stinger sounds like a actual mic, no clue what you're talking about. Also, never spend anything under 60 on a standalone mic
Thank you sir !
Finally .
BRO u saved my budget lol
Can you do Blackshark v2 vs Alpha s?
I did BlackShark V2 vs Cloud II and Cloud II vs Alpha S so it would be a bit redundant but basically:
Alpha S sound is more detailed, has better bass and less harsh highs than BlackShark V2 out the box. Mics on both are average due to the sound cards. Alpha S is more comfortable and the sound controller is pretty convenient.
Main thing the BlackShark V2 has going for it is Razer Synapse which has a great EQ interface and audio filters.
Does the cloud stinger mic work on ps4/ps5?
yes! i use it on ps !
In Portugal the cloud stinger is 69.99 omg the price difference
Cloud stinger core or Exsa e900
Which has a better sound quality?
Might buy the e900 later this month to test it. I saw Techrovert talk about it, but I'm skeptical.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews waiting for it after your review i have to choose
Can I use the mic with the single jack on a laptop?
Didn't work for me. I'd get the Stinger S (or any USB headset in general) to make sure it will work on laptop.
Alright thank you, however I’m afraid the quality wouldn’t be as good with the usb… might look for wireless headphones or single jacks instead
Would really appreciate if anyone had recommendations for that
@@raghad9355 Makes sense.
HyperX and Razer USB cards make the mics worse in my experience, but the SteelSeries Arctis 5 and Logitech G Pro X mics sound a lot better via USB because of better amps. They're much more expensive, but the Arctis 5 is a decent headset overall.
What is the best Xbox series x headset?
Core has a rly good mic
Cloud stinger vs corsair hs 50 pro. Which one is better in terms of mic and sound quality ?
I don't have the HS 50, so can't say for sure .-.
ur pretty good at cod
yo bro, i'm planning to get a new gaming headset, and i'm looking for one which has a good mic and audio, out of all the brands, which headset would you recommend to me? (budget under $100usd)
The best overall headset under $100 I've tested so far is the Cloud Alpha. Best mic so far, though it's still not close to a dedicated mic. It also has the most accurate sound signature, very clear detail, and it's decent for music when you EQ it.
I do have to add in case someone else reads this:
If your priority is competitive FPS games and you're ok with a worse mic and a meh sound for immersion and music, then the Cloud II or Arctis 5 are good.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews ah i see, i actually have a hyperx quadcast mic but it literally picks up every sound in the background, even with noise cancellation adjustments using softwares, it wont get rid fan noise etc, so i had to put it aside, headphones just seem to cancel noise way better, thx for the reply btw, and also what about the alpha s compared to the alpha u mentioned? is it any better or is it worse? just asking in case, cuz the colours on the s looks better imo lol
@@lordkambing1396 Oh, I see. Yeah, I also have the QuadCast so I can relate to that. That is one advantage to headset mics, they have really aggressive noise canceling.
The Alpha and Alpha S are pretty much the same except Alpha S mic is worse due to the USB sound controller compression. But it has a few extra features which are 7.1 virtual surround sound, game-chat balance, and bass sliders.
I'd just get the Alpha because the mic sounds better with the splitter it comes with. Game-Chat balance is kinda cool.. Bass sliders on max just sound like regular Alpha. Less than max is tinny. And the 7.1 VSS is 🗑️.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews alright thx, i'll get the hyperx alpha then since you sound like you know what your talking about, btw you just earned another sub!!! haha
@@lordkambing1396 Right on. Yeah I've been testing a bunch of headsets in a lot of different scenarios. Not an expert, but I know what's up.
Can the Hyperx Cloud Stinger Core connect to Xbox?
I don't have an Xbox to test it on (only PS4), but there's a licensed Xbox variant called the CloudX Stinger Core.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews Mmm I play on Xbox and PC, That's why I want to know jeje
nah i think that the core has the best mic
Fu😂
Yes i agree but its quiet and the headset is just bad
Holy shit. Stinger Core has pretty damn good mike ... too bad is the sound is not good at all :(
What are better options around 50$ in your opinion?
Not that many good options in the $50 range besides the Stinger. I'll take a look at some more budget headsets over time, but for now finding a Cloud 2 on sale is probably the best bet.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews thanks
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews what do you think about eksa e900 pro in this range?
@@morijin5712 I was gonna pick it up several times but never did. Too many name brand devices have been on sale for $50-60 lately for me to pick one up over those. One day I might buy it.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews okay brother
blackshark v2 x or cloud stinger s?
Cloud Stinger S. Fuller bass and more detailed highs without getting too harsh.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews Thanks man, you saved me with this video, I'm so excited to receive my Cloud Stinger S
I heard that the cloud stinger s surround sound is worse than stereo, what should I get?
Every headset's surround sound is worse than stereo. Just get the regular Stinger.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews can you pls tell me a reason to buy the core even though i have the original already
@@angeldoesitagain6911 If you already have the original there's no reason to buy the core.
@@BadIntentStreamTechReviews ok then but should i buy the wireless one?
@@angeldoesitagain6911 I mean if you really want wireless, sure but I haven't tested the wireless one yet.
I guess the real question is if you already have the Stinger, what's the point in getting another one? Might as well keep the one you have or upgrade to something better later.
I wanted to congratulate on your review and the deep dive. I will bring my insight as an addition.
I own Hyper X Cloud Stinger S. I bought them for 30 bucks. For 30 bucks the headset is a banger. The only thing I disliked on this headset after almost a year of use is the cable quality. It is too long then too thin and it became like a spaghetti . It is still working perfectly. On build and sound quality There is No way to compare the cloud core stinger s to even slightly more expensive headsets. You can find Cloud II (Along with Logitech G pro) The best headsets in overall I have ever tried below 100 bucks. Microphone Impressed me in a positive way even on Audacity Test. (For me they are having better Mic quality than Cloud II) .
Synopsis.
Cloud Core Stinger S below 30 bucks are a VFM. Over it is an overprice. If you can Imagine that you can buy both Logitech G Pro and Cloud ii which are 2 of the best headsets with "gaming tag" in the market. The Ideal is to buy a Headset Like Cloud ii and a separate microphone Like Hyper X solocast Or Razer Seiren (VFM Microphones)
You are wrong every model of hyperx is good for gaming especially for pubg no doubt
Thank you mommy 👩 for all your walls
this is actually perfect. the stinger one is really good because most headsets give me a headache, i used that for a while. Just bought a pair of these after my old pair broke
Is it good?
