IT168 evaluation Since the launch of the first e-sports headset Cloud, Kingston has begun to expand from a storage manufacturer to an e-sports peripheral product line. What headphones, keyboards and mouse pads come out one after another, and the quality is generally high, which does not disgrace the name of HyperX at all. Recently, they launched a brand-new product, HyperX Cloud Stinger Stinger Stinger Headphones, which began to focus on durability and cost performance. -Look at this, Kingston is not only the memory sweeping the national Internet cafes and e-sports halls; It is also necessary to "guarantee the venue" on the headphones.
Appearance: HyperX family color matching is simple and practical
Xiaobian knew that this is an original HyperX series product when she got the package-the black and red logo color matching, cool product renderings and dense support lists all illustrate its lineage. Whether it's a mobile phone, a game console, a PC or a game book, Stinger can take it all.
On the back of the package, Xiao Bian found that it focused on the metal structure beam. The design of headbeam with metal structure as keel and sponge and leather wrapping originated from Japanese high-end HiFi headphones, which is a solution to ensure the firmness and wearing comfort of headbeam at the same time.
Open the package, which contains the warranty card, instructions, headphones and an extension cord. The independent microphone can better pick up human voices directionally, and the rotatable earmuffs provide convenience for storage.
the earphone cavity is made of ABS engineering plastic, and the frosted surface is wear-resistant and dirt-resistant, which has excellent impact strength.
The inner earmuffs are made of protein leather. The oval ear wrap design ensures the comfort of wearing for a long time, and the replaceable design further prolongs the service life of stinger headphones.
Because of the independent microphone structure, the volume adjustment device that is essential in the e-sports headset is placed under the right unit, and the design of the slider is quite convenient.
The head beam made of flexible metal also takes into account the work of adjusting the size of headphones, and the wearing comfort can be confirmed according to the head shape only by pulling it apart.
the earphone wire is made of TPU elastic wire, and the rubber buffer area is made at the interface, which is enough to ensure that the earphone wire will not be damaged when accidentally pulled. Class 4 3.5mm native plug is suitable for most mobile phones, game consoles and some notebook computers, and the added 2.5m patch cord makes it easy to plug into the computer case.
intensity test of violence: Internet cafes are easily destroyed
Due to the product positioning of HyperX Cloud Stinger, Xiaobian specially arranged some bad intensity tests to test its structural firmness before the sound quality test. After a series of inhuman tests, Xiao Bian can finally recommend it to team managers and owners of Internet cafes and e-sports halls who plan to buy new equipment-it can really withstand all kinds of tossing!
First, make a small series to test the head beam with tension and bending. When the whole head beam is almost leveled and the two sides are twisted nearly 18 degrees, the head beam itself is still quite strong. Moreover, the original shape and elasticity were quickly restored after Xiaobian let go.
Next, Xiaobian conducted a separate test on the most easily damaged head beam adjustment. Stinger's head beam is still very firm under the heavy pressure of violence, and the adjustment is still very smooth after several bends. This achievement is commendable.
The microphone is also the "hardest hit" where the game headset is damaged. Stinger's microphone uses a soft connection design, so even if it is accidentally folded, there will be no problem. The operation of retracting and opening is also very smooth, and there is nothing to be picky about.
in addition to pulling the wire directly, the small series of wire directly makes the whole earphone hang upside down only by wire. The tensile strength of TPU wire is first-class, and with the long and thick rubber protection, it is completely fine after two or three years of use.
the last test. . . Let's just look at it. Even if it falls to the ground and accidentally steps on it, the solid metal +ABS engineering plastic structure can still save its life. After cleaning and disinfection, it can still be worn on the head intact. -When cleaning the earphone, remember to wipe it gently with a towel or paper towel moistened with clear water, and then dry it with a dry towel. Never rinse it directly or use a strange cleaner.
Wear and sound quality test: if nothing is light, it will be shocking
After all, e-sports headphones will be worn for half a day, and comfort is actually more important than anything else. To test the wearing comfort, Xiao Bian invited Xiao Ming to be a tester. He put on a watch pioneer who silently played two games. Before he left, he only said faintly, "Comfortable, what model?" Xiaobian showed him the box and then slipped away.
From Xiao Ming's brief and powerful feedback and Xiao Bian's own feelings, wearing stinging headphones with a 5mm unit and oval albumen earmuffs is really easy and not tiring. 275g focuses on the shocking demand of the game experience. Cloud Revolver headphones create a very natural loud field, and use the quality analysis advantages of its own unit to arrange all the details accurately and orderly. Accurate and natural timbre restoration ensures that both listening to music and playing games are very pleasant to listen to, and there will be no situation that some game headphones exaggerate high-frequency and low-frequency for the sake of seemingly shocking sound effects, resulting in a mess of listening to music and a mess of sound positioning when playing games. Playing games with such headphones can really listen further. The weight is lightweight in headphones, and the appropriate ear pressure and well-designed head beam distribute the weight evenly to the head and ears, which greatly improves the wearing comfort, and it will certainly not cause discomfort if you wear it for an hour or two.
As for the sound test part, Xiao Bian combines FPS, 3A epic and serious music to make a judgment test. As for the result, see Xiaobian Man Man and tell everyone.
In order to meet the shocking needs of the game experience, Stinger Headphones create a very natural loud field, and make use of the quality analysis advantages of its own unit to arrange all the details accurately and orderly. In the game, its positioning is very accurate, and with a wider voice performance, both the footsteps in the distance and the calls of teammates can be heard very clearly.
▲ As an orthodox FPS player, Xiaobian naturally wants to bring Black Hawk headphones for a game of CS Online. I didn't expect to hear footsteps in the dark tunnel just after a few steps, so I decided to go through the wall blindly, and shot myself in the head accurately ~
▲ Let's play another game, so that the enemy who can't see clearly will decide the outcome by listening ~
If we use it to play a tense CS or CF game, such a powerful and accurate positioning will show its greatest advantage. Whether it's the faint footsteps of the opponent far away, or the skill shaking forward in the team battle, the sound effect is faithfully and accurately restored.
▲ In fact, Xiao Bian is still OW, but. . .
and during the single-machine 3A masterpiece experience, the shocking low frequency that has been silently setting off the atmosphere behind the scenes went online. The low-frequency with excellent quality and rich medium-high frequency details, whether it is explosion, gunfire or atmospheric OST, can be heard one by one, which is not only shocking, but also has details worth remembering, making the game makers spend a lot of time on the sound effect details, which are not only the patents of local players with home theaters, but also can be fully enjoyed by everyone with one earphone.
On the whole, Kingston, after so many kinds of earphone manufacturing experience, still knows very well how to tune the esports headphones to be shocking and accurate. Even if it is only a stinger headset with a price of 399, it has done a good job in this regard.
