HyperX is announcing the release of two new headsets in the HyperX Cloud Stinger product line. The products being announced are the HyperX Cloud Stinger Core + 7.1 and HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless + 7.1 Gaming Headset. HyperX additionally stated that the Cloud Stinger Gaming Headsets feature 7.1 virtual surround sound courtesy of NGENUITY software.
One of the ideas behind this move from HyperX – Kingston Technology’s gaming division – is to offer customers an economical option in terms of gaming headsets. The recent economic downturn is a significant factor in this decision, and the impact may also cause product and/or shipping delays.
HyperX Audio Business Manager Nate Almond said this of the products:
“With students, parents and gamers working and playing at home more than ever, HyperX has expanded the Stinger product line to offer more affordable headsets.”
Nate Almond, HyperX Business Manager
Both new headsets feature a lightweight design, 40mm directional drivers, adjustable steel sliders, volume control located on the earcup, and a swivel-to-mute noise-canceling microphone. The wireless edition sports a 20m range and, at least when operating at 50% volume, a 17-hour lifespan for the battery. The HyperX Cloud Stinger Core + 7.1 is on offer for $59.99, while the Core Wireless +7.1 goes for $79.99. You can find the products and additional information at HyperX’s online storefront.
