HYPERX’S HEADSETS are frequently a good bet, and the new Stinger S addition to its Cloudline is no exception. The Stinger S goes in the opposite direction to the Stinger Core, which was a cheaper alternative to the original Stinger. At $60, the Stinger S is more expensive, edging its way into premium headset territory, but it has a lot to offer for the price.
Let’s start with the audio quality. Unlike the 40mm neodymium drivers found in the Core models, this headset has the original Stinger’s high-quality 50mm drivers, bringing a broader frequency response that delivers clear, crisp highs and bassy lows. It’s a remarkably balanced sound profile, and while it won’t blow away any serious audiophile, it’s certainly sufficient for both gaming and music or podcasts.

THE YEAR'S BEST AND MOST EXCITING BIKES - GRAVEL
Bicycling’s annual Bike Awards are the culmination of a year’s worth of real-world ride testing of hundreds of bikes. We rode them as you would—commuting on city streets, in the bikepark, up tough climbs, deep in the woods, or just out for a spin after a busy day. In selecting our top 40, we evaluated each bike’s performance, its value, and how it stacks up against similar models in its category. We thought hard about each bike and whether it was one we’d want for ourselves before recommending it. If you’re searching for a new road, mountain, gravel, or commuter bike—or just dreaming—one of these will be right for you.
