The verdict

The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 has a frequency response curve that has some foibles, wide compatibility with many different types of device, and a generally solid build quality. The low price point does lead to some trade offs, but overall it's not a bad choice.

✓Liked: Simplicity, Fairly comfortable, Surprisingly decent sound, Price

✕Could be better: Limited features, Some poor design decisions, Non detachable microphone
