[PS4/Xbox] Hyper X Cloud Stinger Headset $59, Add Fallout 76 (Optional) for Additional $19 (+ Shipping) @ JB Hi-Fi

170

First time poster.

JB HiFi is offering the Hyper X Stinger Cloud Stinger for $59. And if you throw in $19 more, you can get Fallout 76 for either the PS$ or Xbox One.

I have purchase the headset when there was a deal earlier, so my 0.01 worth (Becuz this is OZBARGAIN!)

Thumbs up
- Over the ears (so good sound isolation, so you can pretend not to hear your kids crying, the smoke alarm blaring etc)
- lightweight (Your neck has enough of a job keeping the brain and assorted parts supported, don't give it more work)
- Mic is "push to talk" as in if bring the mic down, it activates chat, flip it up and it deactivates (Cannot comment on Mic quality as the games I play, nobody chats!)

Thumbs down
- Cord is not braided
- No cord saver (that weird loop thing that saves your cord when you step on it)

Please note I have not personally played Fallout 76 and so am not commenting on it. I am focusing on the headset which is what the deal is about.

    good lordy fo76 went from $78 to $38 during black friday and now it's half of that here
    2018's been great quite honestly

    Don't bother with fallout 76, even for $19

    • +1

      you still need to buy the headset though
      just think of it as buying fo76 for the release price of $78 and then having them subsidize a hyper x headset for you

  • this msi ds502 or this corsair hs60 or this hyperx stinger?

    • I'd forget about the MSI. Decide between Stinger or HS60. Maybe stinger but idk.

      • ok that was easy, thanks. going with the stinger with fo76 then.

        • All hyperx products seem to have a really good reputation so while I have not tried the stingers myself I have heard people call them great budget headphones so gl.

          • @Ostrk: spent the last 15 mins on youtube for its review, pretty good i must say. ideal for my use case as an entry headset till i upgrade. also get to get the ps4 fo76!

            ~~ oh a plus is the addon for fo76 is till jan 7 so plenty of time to see if there are any xmas/ boxing day sales

              @LurvinOZB: I was tempted to get this (was even thinking about posting it), but then I saw this:

              https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/418068 (was $40 a few weeks ago from JB)

              I went for Corsair HS60 because of the virtual 7.1 USB dongle. Not sure how I managed to resist this one when it was $40. Couldn't get the $10 voucher from adding a digital receipt to my account (long story) and even if I had one, it will still be $49.

              • @netsurfer: Did u have a chance to try both out at the store?

                Saw that USB add-on but a few YouTube reviews didn't give that 7.1 much air time.

                So if it was $40 earlier, then I guess the game is $30+ then.

                Am going to hold off till after boxing day to see if Amazon is coming up with something nicer.

                • @LurvinOZB: Is there a store that I can try both? Would like to try both.
                  HS60 - USB add-on, honestly I wouldn't expect much from the virtual 7.1 (esp. given the price point). Need proper speaker setup for 7.1. It could be handy for me because my secondary PC's front audio plugs are noisy (so the USB dongle could help). My newer PCs/laptops don't have this issue.

                  Cloud Stinger was $40 earlier and OP bought it at that price.

                • @LurvinOZB: Cancelled my Amazon order for HS60. Don't really need one.

                  • @netsurfer: lol. that was fast. i was bz buying up the memory cards pack of 20s from amazon

  • trade in the game should get more as part of 2 for 1

    • Interested to know how much credit we can get for trading just this game to EB or JB. 2 for 1 is a good idea, but still needs another game.

      • god of war $25

      • Cex is $28 or $35 credit

      • apparently they stopped the 2 4 1 for now so dont buy the games cos they will probably update the list by the time it comes back

  • Haha, they will do anything to try get rid of copies of this game

  • Great headphones for that price (although they have been cheaper before)

  • Fallout 76? Rubbish

    Just stick with the normal Fallout

    • I picked up fo4 for 5 bucks the other day.. still can't get over its cartoony-ness…

      Loved fo3/nv though.

  • Just went to pick up mine today. Bought the headphones for $39 a previous deal and did some testing.. quite good for price although can not reach some frequencies in treble

  • Just checked JBs page - they're dumping F76 for $19 with pretty much all their gaming headsets $49 and up…
