Our Verdict
HyperX Cloud Stinger
Razer Opus X Wireless
The HyperX Cloud Stinger and the Razer Opus X Wireless are designed for different uses, so you may prefer either pair. The HyperX are wired gaming headphones, and they have a boom mic that offers great overall performance. However, the Razer are designed for casual use and wireless mobile gaming. They feel better built, and have an ANC system that can block out more passive ambient noise. You can't use them wired, though.
