I have been trying numerous headsets from different manufacturers the past three months in search of the best headset for me. My previous headset was the Astro A40tr which I got with the mixamp. I love the mixamp but the headset itself leaves things to be desired. Mic quality is mediocre at best and it doesn't have a big Soundstage for positional audio cues. After reading and watching reviews online for the Hyperx Cloud Stinger I decided to give it a try. Honestly didn't expect much based off its price point but man was I wrong. Yes it is a mostly plastic build headset and I wouldn't recommend it if you are rough with your electronics. However it has sound quality and comfort that surpasses headsets four times its price. Yes in my opinion the Stinger sounds better than either the Astro A40tr or the Turtle Beach Elite Pro. I'm powering it with my Astro Mixamp TR and the 50mm drivers sound incredibly good. Easier to pinpoint gunfire and such than other headsets I have used. The microphone quality is also better than the Astro or Turtle Beach models I mentioned. It also flips up to mute so you don't have turned fumble around for a inline control.switch. Comfort wise, it is extremely light and has leatherette memory foam earpads so you can wear it for hours. This headset is a steal at its current price point and I couldn't recommend it more.
