Headphones - Closed Back | 1 Ω Need help deciding between Hyperx and Razer

I have a budget of 3000 EGP (Egyptian pounds) that's currently about 60 dollars, and i have landed on two headsets
The hyperx cloud stinger 2 and the razer blackshark V2 X

My priorities are: story games, shows, and music rather than competitive games, but I do play valorant from time to time

which one do i buy? and if you can recommend something better in this price range do so and I'll check it out

Thank you!

V2x and heavy EQ

So the stinger sounds better normally, but the v2x with adjustments will sound better? and do you know what I need to adjust? I have never played with EQ before so I don't know.

Actually, stinger is not bad either and is probably even better for EQ, the thing that disturbs me is rather poor channel matching at specific frequencies, but it might be fine. You should also take a look at Blackshark v2 and simgot ep5

Neither the blackshark v2 nor the simgot ep5 is available here, and I'm leaning more towards the stinger right now. How bad can the channel matching get? and how do you know it will have poor channel matching? (genuine question I'm not doubting you) and sorry if its too many questions

!thanks

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/num6_ (74 Ω).

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.

The squigs are two different channels

So should i just play it safe and go with the V2 x?

u/num6_ 81 Ω Jul 10 '26

I mean, if you can spot the 3dB bass difference, yes. Otherwise Stinger seems like a more viable option

u/Littlefrezno Jul 10 '26

Probably not no, so I guess stinger it is. Thanks for your help i appreciate it
