Lightweight Over-Ear Headset

The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core is a wired over-ear headset weighing 275 grams, built for extended gaming sessions without fatigue. It connects via a 3.5mm jack and includes a PC extension cable for desktop use. The adjustable steel slider and memory foam ear cushions provide a secure, comfortable fit across multiple platforms.

Steel Slider and Swivel Mic

A solid steel slider resists daily wear while letting you dial in the perfect clamp force. Ear cups rotate 90 degrees to rest flat around your neck during breaks. The boom microphone mutes instantly when flipped upward, and on-cup volume control puts level adjustments at your fingertips without software menus.

40mm Drivers with DTS Spatial Audio

Directional 40mm drivers deliver a 4Hz-25KHz frequency response at 35 ohms impedance and 95dB sensitivity for clear, bass-enhanced game sound. An included activation code unlocks two years of DTS Headphone:X spatial audio for 3D positional cues. The headset lacks active noise cancellation and Bluetooth, so buyers wanting wireless freedom or ANC should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What does the 3.5 mm connector cap in practice?

The 3.5 mm plug carries stereo audio and microphone signals through a CTIA wired connection, so spatial audio relies on host software rather than a dedicated hardware encoder.

What does the 275 g frame need to fit or mount?

The adjustable steel slider and 90° rotating ear cups fit a wide range of head sizes and rest flat around the neck when not worn, requiring no extra mounting hardware.

How is the headset installed, and what step do people get wrong?

Plug the 3.5 mm jack into the combined audio port or use the included PC extension cable for separate mic and headphone sockets, then activate the DTS Headphone:X code within two years; skipping the activation forfeits the spatial audio feature.
