Wearing confort and ergonomics
The Kingston HyperX Cloud Stinger is a very comfortable gaming headset. The reasonable weight of 270 grams, the fact that it's been well balanced and the soft cushions on the ear cups greatly contribute to this fact. Apart from that the leather cushoins on the ear cups are well-made, long-lasting and pleasant to touch. When it comes to stability we find that the headband has been made from metal. A quick look at the cable shows it's reasonably long, measuring three meters, but unfortunately it's not removable. As we mentioned the headband, has been made from solid metal, can be extended by 40 mm on each side (total 80 mm) with 12 well-marked clicks. Unfortunately the cable is not protected and it can kink and especially with such a long cable it's very likely that you will for instance roll over it with your chair. Thanks to the different connectors you can attach these headphones to your computer as well as to your smartphone, either using the two standard 3.5mm jacks or the 4-pole plug. The headphones do not require any software since they're completely plug-n-play.
