Overall, this is a pretty good headset. It most certainly is not intended for audiophiles, though listening to classical music for the average person is fine. There’s just more than a hint of bass, but not enough to provide full body to a piece like Ferde Grofe’s “The Grand Canyon Suite” which has lots of percussion. Middle-tones are clear, but not brilliant. In all, it’s kind of like listening to FM radio. But this headset isn’t intended for audiophiles: it’s intended for gamers, people who spend hours with their headsets on and want to hear every footstep and every explosion and communicate with their team mates. Gamers, I think will love it. The Cloud Stinger is very light, considering its rather imposing bulk. I wore it for a couple of hours without discomfort. The padded ear cups surrounding the 50mm drivers are soft enough to provide a good seal around the ear, blocking out some ambient sound. I didn’t get sweaty while wearing them. The headband is firm without being super-tight and stays in place as my head moves around. Rotating the boom upward actuates muting. I also tested it with Skype and it worked fine. Sounded reasonably clear in Skype with just a hint of hollowness, which I eliminated by lowering the volume on the headset with the adjustable volume slider on the right ear cup. I also tested it with Dragon dictation and got 100% accuracy. Overall, I consider this a pretty good headset and a solid value for the price.Jerry

I got these on sale (I think?) for $30 because I wanted a basic wireless headset for my work from home setup (Mac). My gen 1 AirPods were just not cutting it as the battery would die quickly and they have absolutely NO noise isolation.They are SUPER lightweight and I feel no pain or discomfort whatsoever after a 8-9 hour workday, plus I wear glasses and have a slightly bigger head for a girl so usually wearing any kind of headset has me crying on the inside after like 2 hours max. But this... this is literally LEAGUES more comfortable than the $100 headset I bought for my gaming setup.The noise isolation is just okay, sound quality is just okay, mic quality is just okay, but I really wasn't looking for superb audio/mic quality as I only use them to listen to music and to attend Zoom meetings, so they're fine for my needs. I will say due to the design of the mic/lack of a boom mic arm, it may pick up more background noise like typing/mouse clicking, so be sure to stay on mute during meetings while you're not actively speaking! Can't speak about the Bluetooth connection as I only use the USB dongle. The aesthetic of this headset is cute too, I got the white & blue.Would recommend if you need something simple for work or just listening to music, maybe would not recommend for any serious gaming that requires better audio quality/mic quality, as it is a budget headset.

I’ve been using these headphones exclusively for the past nine months and think they are brilliant in almost all aspects. If you are considering getting these, you won’t be disappointed.Firstly, the sound quality is fantastic. The best way to describe the sound would be honest, and very crisp. By “honest” I mean the headphones do not artificially enhance the sound by adding loads of additional bass or treble like other headphones out there, which means you get a perfect representation of what you are listening to. Of course, this is perfect for music production and working on audio for accuracy; however, it’s brilliant for casual listening too. This is one of the main reasons I stuck with buying these over the M50xs, as a lot of people have reported the sound on them is too exaggerated in terms of the bass and treble which can take away from the original audio. Additionally, the frequency response is wide (and not far off the M50x) meaning that it really does pick up a lot of detail in songs that you probably didn’t hear before if you were listening on cheaper headphones like I was. It’s a fun experience picking up on things you have never noticed in songs before using these.As for the build quality, again these headphones impress and deliver a professional feel. The earcups cover your ears entirely and also rotate slightly to fit your head comfortably, even when wearing them for hours there’s no discomfort around the ears for me. You get a bit of sound isolation because of this, and I also don’t find they get hot to wear. Because the ear cups rotate 90 degrees, you can easily get them out the way when wearing the headphones around your neck. Moreover, you can fold the headphones up into themselves to carry around easier or to just store away whilst they give a couple of reassuring clicks into position. The cables also click nicely into the headphones and are rotated and locked in so they can’t fall out. Everything feels like they are going to last a long time and withstand a lot of use. Definitely a premium feeling product.As well as the headphones themselves, it’s important to note the accessories that come with them. There is a nice leather feeling carry pouch which is soft on the inside to carry the headphones around in, or to avoid dust which is a great addition. Again, like the headphones, it feels durable, and also has the Audio Technica logo embossed on it which looks classy. Additionally, a 6.3mm adapter is included which is to be expected with headphones like these, but its gold plated and great quality with no connection issues just like the cables. The cables included are one long 3m straight cable, and one 1.2 to 3m coiled cable. Top notch quality.As for cons, well there is pretty big one if you want to take them around outside with you, which is that there is no short portable cable, only a bulkier coiled one, and a long 3m cable which both would be inconvenient to carry around. So, obviously most people would want to get another cable separately. Another thing is that the padding on the top of the headphones isn’t the softest as they sit on your head (at least after a long time), but it’s not too uncomfortable regardless.Overall, these headphones are brilliant in my opinion; they sound great, feel great, and the price is well worth it for everything you get. Would totally recommend, especially for the price tag. Hopefully this review was helpful.

I started using a Marpac (now Yogasleep?) Dohm around 15 years ago and it has served me well. The problem with the Dohm is after a while, it starts making additional vibrating noises because of the mechanical parts wearing out over time. Predictably, the lifespan of the Dohm has been about 3-4 years of nightly use before it has to be replaced.I've been using a LectroFan for about a month now and I'm pretty pleased with it. Even though it's fully digital, it produces continuous noise without looping. I always found the Dohm just a little too loud, even on the lowest setting with the holes closed down, so the volume control of the Lectrofan is nice to have. Because it's not mechanical, I can keep it on my nightstand instead of the floor (the Dohm would cause the entire nightstand to vibrate). It's much smaller and travels much better than the bulky Dohm. I don't care for most of the noises that the LectroFan makes, but there are a couple of settings that sound similar to the Dohm and are perfectly adequate.The one thing I haven't figured out yet is how to get it run off a USB power bank / battery pack. This would make it perfect for travel. I read another review that said the problem is it draws so little power that the power bank doesn't sense anything is connected and it shuts off. Will update my review if I find something that works.

I give these headphones a solid 9 Out Of 10. I recently had a pair of Dre beat studios that needed replacing, My budget wasn't in the price range for another pair so i did some online research which brought me to Audio Technica ATH-M40x. They are by no means cheap in the quality they produce. yes, the design isn't as sleek as Dre beats and the chord runs rather longer then needed. Also no other Aux chord will work with these headphones as the signature chord provided has a locking mechanism to ensure the chord isn't pulled out during the process of listening to music. I find this also diminishes the chance of ever losing the chord as well. I know i lost my wire to my Dre beats before so i actually like this function. Now for design there are sturdy! very flexible and well put together. They are more flexible then Dre beats / no pressure or irritation from wearing them for prolonged periods of time like other leading brands. They aren't Bass heavy i should mention. this can be easily fixed with a bass booster app on iphone or android and even a equalizer app will further your appreciation of these headphones. The sound is whats crisp and noteworthy. For the price these are listed for, Is outstanding. You get the feel of a rich sound that you would get with a $400 pair of headphones with these. That right there is enough for me and i'm sold with this product. In the future i do plan on purchasing the upgraded pair of these but for now these take the cake.

This is my first gaming headset- I got it so I could play PUBG and it really helped with my situational awareness. That game has garbage audio settings- so I’m constantly deafened by sudden gunshots from ambush, overhead planes, and incoming bombs and grenades if the volume is up high enough.The best part about having this product is that I can now play games while my wife is curled up next to me on the couch. She doesn’t have to hear gunfire, zombies screaming, or whatever while she reads or does whatever she does on her phone when I’m gaming.The sound-dampening quality is good, but I can still detect if someone is knocking at the door, hear my cell phone, or someone trying to talk to me at a conversational volume.The fit is pretty good, and the option to mute the mic by flipping it up is pretty awesome. The volume control works well enough but I find myself hunting for it a little when I know stuff is about to get real loud and I need to turn the volume down.One thing- if I come home from work in my collared shirt and start playing, the mic rubs up against the collar and it is annoying for my squad. I doubt many other folks will use this while wearing a dress shirt- but you never know when that might be a deal killer.

HyperX Cloud Stinger Gaming Headset for PC, Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, Nintendo Switch (HX-HSCS-BK/NA)









Loved this headset from the moment I put it on. Totally forgot it was there! Sadly, the mic was bad, so I had to return it. On the urging of a friend I ordered the Logitech G430 and although the 7.1 surround sound is amazing, that's where the good times end.The Logitech was extremely uncomfortable; the ear pads were scratchy and a bit too big for my ears and although the weight is just a bit more than the HyperX, the cushion on the headrest bar was poor and made the headset feel very heavy. I wore it for hours trying to like it, but when you have one headset - HyperX Cloud Stinger - feel perfect from the second you put it on, versus trying to make an uncomfortable headset comfortable, there's just no reason to work that hard :)So, I returned the Logitech and re-ordered the HyperX Cloud Stinger, and I'm happy to report that the mic works perfectly! This headset fits me extremely well, not too tight and not too loose, and despite the faux leather, my ears do not get hot. The memory foam in the ear cups and headband make wearing this headset a dream. If there ever comes a time when I can justify paying twice as much for a gaming headset, I'll bump up to the HyperX Cloud II, but for my current needs, this headset is TOPS!

I had a fairly inexpensive pair of Bluetooth but they were way to loose in my ears and Stuck out. When I searched for something comparable these came up. They were actually cheaper than the other pair I bought. But the reviews were really good and they were totally right! These come with multiple full covers so you can get the right ear fit for you These come with multiple ear covers so you can get the right ear fit for you. These fit very snugly in my ear which is perfect because I have lost other earbuds before. The sound quality is amazing! Especially the base boom! These sound better than other Bluetooth that are more expensive! The noise cancelation is very good as well. Also you can use them as earplugs! I stopped at the indoor range on my way home and I didn't have my bag with my ear plugs. I pushed these in firmly and despite the indoor range being very loud, Usually they recommend wearing 2 ear muffs. I had no problem popping some caps And didn't have to worry about the noise. It is rare that I give any product 5 stars over all but these totally deserve them! I bought an extra pair as backup. I highly recommend these to anyone! Perfect for use in the car while mowing the lawn jogging or being in loud environments
