Our Verdict

HyperX Cloud Stinger

Logitech G432

The Logitech G432 is a better gaming headset than the HyperX Cloud Stinger. While the Stinger are slightly better-built headphones, the G432 have a more neutral sound profile and their USB dongle gives you access to the G HUB app, which allows you to EQ them easily. You also have access to a few level sliders for your volume and microphone. The G432 also has a surround sound feature, which the Cloud Stinger is lacking.
