Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This video is from my youtube channel, my username is /nickcapaccio The entire body of the cloud stinger is made of plastic but still have a very solid and premium feel to them, the plastic doesn’t creek when they flex like other headsets can. Most of the finish is a matte plastic with a few accents in gloss. There is leatherette padding inside of the headband which has a good amount of cushion. The headband has a nice and firm adjustable steel slider that clicks at each notch. Each earcup can rotate and pivot. The swivel has a very good feel to it and allows them to fit perfectly over my ear. The earcups have a memory foam cushions which are very soft and provide enough padding to keep my ear from touching the driver. My ears usually touch the driver on a lot of other gaming headsets, but I was very happy with how comfortably these fit over my ears. The headset does feel big and bulky, and the cushions can get warm. They don’t breath as much as I’d like, the earcups clamp down slightly but are very comfortable to wear for hours. They make a very snug fit over your ears. They didn’t cause my ears to sweat, but I can see that happening if you're a heavy sweater. On the bottom of the right earcup there is a volume control, this won’t control the volume of your device, only the volume of the headset, so I would turn the volume up to about 90 percent and then control the volume on the headset. The slider feels good overall but it doesn't slide smoothly the entire way, it gets a little bit harder to slide when you turn the volume down all the way. But it's a nice feature and allows you to quickly turn the volume down if you needed to. The mic is not removable like it is on the more expensive cloud headsets but you can turn the microphone up to mute when you are not using it. There is actually a switch in the mic that turns on and off when you swivel it. It's also flexible, so you can bend the mic to find just the right position. The Cloud stinger features 50 mm drivers which do an amazing job. I was really surprised how great these sounded, especially for a 50 dollar headset, but they sound as good as headphones twice the price. This headset is tuned for action, they aren’t as flat as a good pair of headphones but they do an amazing job of really emphasizing action. The bass hits hard and there is more weight to explosions. When using these to watch a movie, I felt that they were a bit boomy in the lower mid range, especially when there were scenes with deep bass and dialog. But these sounded great for music, the bass was deep, the vocals were clear, and there was a lot of detail in the highs. These have a nice wide soundstage as well. They feel open and I felt I had a better sense of my surroundings in first person shooters. This headset performs great at loud levels as well, and don’t distort. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this headset, although the went with an all plastic design to cut costs, they didn’t skimp when it comes to sound. They are very comfortable to use for long gaming sessions and they have a very durable and well made feel to them.
