The folks at HyperX have unveiled their latest Gaming Headset, the Cloud Stinger, and it is both light on the wallet and on the head. The headset weighs just 275 grams, and features memory foam and 50mm drivers that should deliver both comfort and quality sound. The Cloud Stinger is compatible with PC, all major consoles as well as mobile devices and features a pretty impressive feature and spec list:

We will try to get a hold of one of these in order to put it through the paces. If it turns out to be half as good as the ones we saw at CES in January or what was announced at E3, then this should be a very good price point for the performance.
