Best gaming headsets

Video games are all about experiencing a depiction of real-life situations and environment. For that, it is necessary to retrieve all the sound cues that emanate straight from the battlefields in games like Call of Duty or Doom Eternal. The sound of gunshots or knife attacks in the games must reach into the ears of the user for a thrilling gaming experience.

SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC

SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC gaming headset comes with magnetic ear cups that are fully removable for various styling purposes. It also comes with customisable RGB lighting options. The SteelSeries' GameSense technology alerts users with any new Discord messages or alerts. The left earcup comes with plenty of options such as volume adjustment, mute key, 3.5mm jack, and microphone button. The right earcup has a slightly bigger mute button which users can reach instantly. Its headband is quite flexible with a Velcro Strap; which you can stretch or tighten the band as per the need. It also features GameDAC (Digital-to-Analog) option that produces up to 96kHz audio quality and offers HD sound quality during live games.

HyperX Cloud Alpha Pro Gaming Headset

The HyperX Cloud Alpha Pro headset comes with remarkable sound quality and several other distinct features. It’s comfortable to wear, and both of its earcups are from soft matte plastic. The headset is perfect for extended gaming sessions or enjoying your favourite songs for longer durations. Its microphone has a pop filter to filter out any external disturbance during voice recording, or while playing online games. It comes with HyperX’s Dual chamber drivers for more distinction in the sound and less distortion. 

XPG EMIX H30 Wired Headset

XPG EMIX H30 Wired Headset comes with 7.1 surround sound, a removable microphone, carry case, instructions booklet, a stand, the Solox F30 amplifier and a USB cable. Both the stand and amplifier are made up of anthracite-coloured plastic while steel forms a part of headband material. Both earcups have LED lighting features. Also, for your enhanced comfort level, there is a Polyurethane cushion in the headband. Its Solox F30 has a USB 2.0 hub that provides additional connectivity to two more devices. The headset has a stylish round knob for sound adjustment and four dedicated buttons for special modes such as music, cinema, games and voice mode.

Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset

The Logitech G Pro X comes with a cushioned carry case with two 3.5mm cords, a small USB DAC attachment connector, boom mic and Velour earpads. It’s a perfect headset for seamless cross-platform connectivity. The headband is made up of thick cushions and metallic frame for long-lasting comfort and durability. The headphone features intelligent Pro-tuned EQ option that helps you adjust the surround sound effects and sources. The Logitech G Pro X has a Blue Vo!ce option to balance your mic presets like noise reduction and compressor for improved voice quality during live games.

Razer Kraken X

Weighing a mere 250g and with oval leatherette ear-cups and an adjustable headband slider, the Razer Kraken X is designed for the comfort of those who use headsets for extended periods of time. It sports in-headset controls, including an analogue volume wheel and a mute button for the microphone. Connectivity is via a standard 3.5 mm jack. The custom-tuned 40 mm drivers deliver 7.1 surround sound for accurate positional audio across any gaming schematic. Sounds from across a wide range are simulated with faithful likenesses, from the stealthy footfalls of a ninja to an all-out Armageddon in another universe. Of special interest is the bendable cardioid microphone which achieves noise cancellation by accepting sounds from the front of the mic and rejecting the background and ambient sound from the sides and back. 

Redgear Cosmo 7.1

The Redgear Cosmo 7.1 headset has an adjustable headband and closed, extra soft ear-cups which, thus, provide passive noise cancellation. Its 50 mm drivers emit virtual 7.1 surround sound which makes your gaming more auditory responsive. The in-line audio control unit has volume controls and a microphone muting switch. The microphone is noise cancelling and can be put up when not in use, thus increasing both its active life and its shelf life. The headset can be connected to any device with a USB port. Finally (and this is the clincher for the serious gamer) the headphone caps and the microphone have RGB LED lights on them which change colour in short cycles. There is a dedicated button on the audio control unit for switching off these LEDs.
