If you need a new gaming headset for Prime Day but you’ve already spent a lot on gaming PC deals or gaming laptop deals, the good news is that the budget-friendly HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 is on sale for an even lower price for the shopping event. From $50 originally, it’s down to just $37 following a 26% discount. We’re not sure if the $13 in savings will hold until the final minutes of Prime Day, but if you want to make sure that you’re able to take advantage of this bargain, you should proceed with the purchase right now.

Why you should buy the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 gaming headset

While most of our picks for the best gaming headsets cost more than $100, the roundup includes the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2, which we’ve tagged as the best budget headset for PC gaming. Despite its affordable price, we described it as “a great gaming headset” in our review, giving it an outstanding score of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars. It still provides premium audio when playing the best PC games with its DTS Headphone:X virtual surround sound support, and while you’ll have to mind its cable as it’s a wired headset, that only means it will work with any device with a headphone jack for no need to worry about compatibility with specific platforms.

The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 is budget-friendly, but it doesn’t feel cheap. The gaming headset is very comfortable as it’s extremely light — you won’t feel anything on your head at all — and you can rotate its earcups until you find the best position for you. The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2’s swivel-to-mute microphone will let you flip it out of the way when it’s not needed, and it has physical audio controls so you don’t need to navigate onscreen menus to make volume adjustments while you’re in the middle of a boss fight.

The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 already offers amazing value at its original price of $50, which is why it’s a must-buy at its lowered price of just $37 from the gaming headset deals of Amazon’s Prime Day. The $13 discount may expire at any moment though, so there’s no time to waste if you’re interested in this bargain. Grab the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 while it’s 26% off, as this affordable gaming headset could be the missing piece to complete your gaming setup.
