The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core is HyperX’s entry wired gaming headset, and the black version we sell is the PC model (HyperX part number 683L9AA). HyperX gives the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core 40mm dynamic drivers with neodymium magnets, a bi-directional noise-cancelling microphone that mutes when you swivel it up, volume control on the ear cup and a light 275 g frame. In the box HyperX includes a DTS Headphone:X activation code valid for 2 years, which adds spatial audio on Windows PCs. It connects with a standard 3.5mm plug, so there are no drivers or dongles to install for basic use.

HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core: What You Get
This is a straightforward wired headset built for long PC sessions on a budget. It is over-ear and closed-back, the ear cushions are soft foam with a fabric cover, and the frame is plastic to keep the weight down. HyperX rates it at 275 g, which is light for a full-size headset with a boom microphone.
The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core uses 40mm drivers; if you see a 50mm figure quoted for it, that is not what HyperX lists for this model.
40mm Drivers and Sound
HyperX lists dynamic 40mm drivers with neodymium magnets, a frequency response of 10Hz to 25kHz, sensitivity of 95dB SPL/mW at 1kHz and total harmonic distortion of 2% or less. The impedance is 32.5Ω, so any PC sound card or motherboard audio output drives it comfortably.
HyperX describes the result as crisp, clear in-game sound, and the closed-back cups keep some room noise out so you can hear footsteps and callouts in shooters and battle royale games.
DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio
HyperX includes a DTS Headphone:X activation code valid for 2 years. On a Windows PC, DTS Headphone:X processes stereo into virtual surround, which helps you place sounds around you in supported games and films. The activation is a software licence on your PC, not a feature built into the headset, so it does not apply on consoles or phones.
Without DTS the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core still works as a normal stereo headset on any device with a compatible 3.5mm jack.
Swivel-to-Mute Noise-Cancelling Microphone
The microphone is an electret condenser with a bi-directional, noise-cancelling pattern and a sensitivity of -40.5dBV, according to HyperX. Flip it up and it mutes; flip it down and it is live, so you always know whether teammates can hear you without checking a software indicator.
Noise cancelling here means the capsule picks up your voice and rejects some of the sound from the sides, such as keyboard clicks. It is fine for Discord and in-game chat.
Connection, Controls and Compatibility
The headset plugs in with a 4-pole 3.5mm (CTIA) connector, and HyperX includes a PC extension cable that splits into separate 3.5mm headphone and microphone plugs for desktops with two jacks. Volume is adjusted on the headset itself.
HyperX lists this version for PC. HyperX also sells separate PlayStation and Xbox versions of the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core; we stock the PC version shown here.
Comfort for Long Sessions
At 275 g and with HyperX’s dimensions of 179 × 95 × 195 mm, the headset is compact and light. The fabric-covered foam cushions breathe better than leatherette in a warm room, which matters during long evening sessions in a UAE summer.
Who This Is Not For
Skip the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core if you want wireless freedom; it is wired only. Console players should look at the dedicated PlayStation or Xbox versions, because HyperX lists this one for PC. The DTS Headphone:X activation runs for 2 years and works only on a Windows PC. HyperX does not describe the microphone as detachable, so it cannot double as a clean pair of travel headphones. And the plastic frame keeps the weight down but does not feel as premium as metal-framed headsets.
