I'd go with the Cloud Core because I hate the microfiber ear cups.

The Stinger has the nice lift to mute mic feature.

Cloud core, because its an OEM of Pro 80, from Takstar, a well known Chinese audio brand. AFAIK pro 80 is based on Beyerdynamic 770 with slight lower quality.

Stinger is made by kingston themselves iirc, so sound quality wise it would be below Core, but with that being said i never tried stinger on, so all of this is still my assumptions. Core or cloud 1 are the only gaming headsets i can recommend at their price point.

Since there's control box present there, it cannot be muted afaik.
