Thank you so much for your detailed reply I have decided to spend a tad more to get the HyperX cloud stinger 2 (non core) which seems to have better quality audio and a sturdier build compared to the core. I know this may not be your area of expertise but if you do happen to know do tell : I'm going to be buying the stinger 2 in India where I am currently residing. Soon I will be moving to the US and will be staying there. If there was a problem with the headphones in the US while under warranty, would I be able to replace them there or would that only be applicable in India. (unrelated but I also find IEMs to be mildly uncomfortable despite everyone online seemingly liking them lol) !thanks

They do work on mobile! (Obviously not if your mobile doesnt have a 3.5mm audio jack tho). I would say the sound quality and mic are good for the price, now I'll have to see how the headphones hold up against the test of time
Hi, I ended up getting the stinger(non core version) and it's pretty good for all my needs! One mild annoyance is that I hear static or smthing of the sort when theres audio playing but the audio in the actual video isn't loud enough if you get what I'm saying. I can't really tell whether it's the headphones or my system but is there any fix for it or is it normal
Yeah, I uhhh... I'm not sure it's entirely having the tiny ears thing here. Is this for headphones to wear to school? We struggle with this every year. My kid who is sensitive to a lot of different things really has an affinity for goofy gamer headsets now. He wears a Logitech G432 to school now, and it feels goofy and overkill, but it's the only headphone he's had at school that didn't result in a bunch of meltdowns. You can find a used set on eBay for less than $10. We got his from there and I needed to replace the earpads, but those were only a few bucks. At home he wears the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Cores, which are like $30. For Xmas I got him Koss GMR-54X's. He didn't like them at first, but really came around to them. Got them from Drop, who is out of stock right now, but they get them back in intermittently. Also, I can't help but think it sounds like your kiddo has sensory issues and maybe you're struggling with it. It's okay. Lots of kids do, but it might be a symptom of other stuff kicking around in their head. Most kids just wear headphones and don't complain.
If you want a good gaming headphones you should definitely upgrade your budget to 2K You can get kreo beluga series Hyper x cloud stinger 2 core If you can't increase the budget then try gameloot they got a good headphone but it's used 900 for razer blackshark one
I currently have cloud stinger 2 core and the volume wheel barely works, the sound kinda muffled, so I'm looking for headphones under 100 dollars preferably over-ear with good noise isolation and comfortability I will be using it for gaming (mostly non-competitive) and for watching videos,music.
HyperX Cloud Stinger Core 2. Sony XMs (any)
Since my last Headset (HyperX Stinger Core) broke, I am on a search for a new one. I have been reading a lot of reddit posts about various models, brands etc. But I always see that "Gaming Headsets" are a waste of money and one should get a real one like studio headsets. I have no idea which brands are in that category, or even if they are affordable enough for me to get them. My budget is not more than 100 Euros. I have been looking for Razer Blackshark V3 X, but saw that the audio quality is jackshit, so i am leaning towards Arctis Nova 3 or 5 atp. I will use it mainly for watching and listening music but I also speak and play games with my friends, so a microphone is a must. I would like to hear your opinions about my current pick and the "audiophile" headsets
