Wireless gaming headsets – good ones anyway – are still a luxury item. Most of IGN’s favorites cost $150 or more. The HyperX Cloud Stinger Wireless, a $100 wireless headset for PC and PS4 (See it at Amazon), offers a slightly cheaper way to cut the cord and go wireless. (Fun fact that’s not on the box: It also works on the Nintendo Switch in docked mode). The Cloud Stinger Wireless bridges the gap between budget wireless headsets with subpar features and the mid-high end devices that set the standards for the category. The wired version of the Cloud Stinger is our favorite cheap headset, but the wireless version is double the price, so let’s see if it’s worth it.
