Our Verdict

HyperX Cloud Stinger

Cooler Master MH630

The HyperX Cloud Stinger are better-wired gaming headphones than the Cooler Master MH630. The HyperX are slightly more comfortable, have a more neutral and better-balanced sound profile, and also have a longer audio cable. However, the Cooler Master's boom microphone has a superb recording quality, which may be more important to some gamers who rely on being heard as clearly as possible.
