Hello. Helpful and thorough reviewer. I have a question since I cannot find a decent review on youtube for the hyperx cloud stinger 2 wireless which is something I cannot explain: for PS5 use cloud core wireless or cloud stinger 2 wireless? What would you suggest?

[garethg]

Good review Joe. I have the Cloud II Wireless (among others) and enjoy them. Nice clean sound on the HyperX headsets i always find.

Man, the reviews you do, are top notch! Keep up with great reviews! Can i ask? I've been contemplating on which i should get. Options are 78 dollar cloud core wireless, blackshark v2 pro for 120 dollars and cloud 2 wireless for 130 dollars. I dont know if the blackshark and the cloud 2 wireless is worth the extra money. Can you help me get a clearer idea?

my 4 months old penrose broke so im getting these now. right now iam done with expensive headphones since every single one breaks after 4month-2 years

The biggest issue I have with most wireless headset options, is that the max volume is too low. Games are similar to movies for me, and I listen at a louder volume than I do listening to music. The only wireless headset I have heard that can get loud enough, is the Audeze Penrose X.

They really need a max dB rating on the box for wireless headphones/headsets. We don't have sensitivity or amplifier ratings with an all in one. It's a wild guess if it will play loud enough for me. One reason I still prefer wired.

You got a sub my friend. I wonder if you've had a chance to test Corsair HS70 Pro wireless. If yes, then which one would you choose? I am torn between the two.

Great review! Just ordered a pair and was wondering, were you able to get the DTS audio on your PS5 and did you notice a difference using it?

[ZoldarX]

Excellent review, I ended up purchasing these from Woot for $64. While I wait for them, I did some research on dts sound unbound. Can you confirm I don't need to pay for dts headphone:x or anything else? I read it's free for the trial then you need to pay $19.99 or something?

[graysondrake]

Yes Joe great info, always loved the hyperx brand!!!

[zhihengliang]

Hi, how do you choose hyperx cloud core wireless and cloud 2 wireless? Thanks.

[elamriti]

whats the best headset for xbox one <seriesx> ps4 ps5 i have no idea what to buy, this wil be my first headset, i dont care about fps games but i play halo and gears online with friends ! i was thinking the xbox one wireless or wired headset

[rorytaylor]

Hi Joe. I always get confused by HyperX's product line. Like, there's just too many headsets and I feel like they need to consolidate their lineup a bit. Stinger, Cloud, Cloud II, Core, Revolver, Flight, etc. It's probably not worse than any other major peripheral company but it's always confused me for some reason.

Past couple years, I've had Arctis 9x, TB Elite Pro, TB 700 G2 ... all of them eventually having the yoke and ear cup broken one one side. Any advice or recommendations?

[atlasa]

Have you ever used the arctis pro wireless? If so do you think it is better then this new hyperx cloud core wireless headset?

[Kaiser.]

Which is better barracuda X or Cloud core?

[cose]

the cloud core wireless is 60$ rn in my country and the razer barracuda x is 90$. which would you suggest?
