SeekerHyperX Cloud Stinger 2
The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 are decent for wired gaming. These comfortable over-ears have full audio and mic compatibility with consoles that have an AUX port. They also have an excited sound profile. The extra bass helps emphasize sound effects like footsteps while the bump in treble keeps sibilants like cymbals present. The mic is flexible and poseable, and its recording quality is great, so your voice sounds clear. The mic does a decent job of separating your voice from moderate background noise. However, they lack sound customization features like an EQ.

The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 delivers great sound and a relatively comfortable fit, all for $50. Don't expect much in the way of extra features, though.

HyperX's Cloud Stinger 2 is an affordable, no-frills gaming headset. It's undoubtedly light on features, but possesses a versatile, straightforward, plug-and-play appeal that's hard to resist. Its performance also punches above its weight, producing a surprisingly rich and layered sound-stage for its price. Though while it doesn't skimp on quality sound, its flimsy build does reflect its wallet-friendly cost.
