Our Verdict

HyperX Cloud Stinger

Astro A10

The HyperX Cloud Stinger is a better headset than the Astro A10. It's more comfortable and isolates noise better than the Astro. The HyperX sound better but are prone to inconsistencies in the bass and treble delivery across reseats, so, unlike the Astro, you won't get the same consistent sound each time you wear it. The Astro is slightly better designed and feels better built. The microphone performance of these two headsets is very similar, but the recording quality of the Astro is a bit better. They're decent gaming headsets, but the Astro are usually more expensive than the HyperX. If you care more about build quality, get the Astro; if you prefer better sound, go for the HyperX.
