Our Verdict
Corsair HS70 Wireless
HyperX Cloud Stinger S
The Corsair HS70 Wireless are more customizable gaming headphones than the HyperX Cloud Stinger S. The Corsair are better-built, and they have a more consistent audio delivery. Also, their companion software gives you access to a graphic EQ and presets, and you can adjust the microphone levels. That said, the HyperX's boom microphone has a better recording quality.
