Budget gaming headphones for the frugal gamer

Updated on 23-Sep-2020

Gaming can be an expensive activity to pursue, considering all the ever-increasing hardware requirements to run the latest games. So, if you’re looking to make affordable purchases for some parts of your build, you’re not alone. A good candidate for this is the gaming headphone which can be relatively cheaper yet satisfactory. It needs to fulfil three needs – comfort, audio and mic quality. Based on their specifications and features, here are some options available on Amazon that can be your next budget gaming headphone.

Kotion Each GS410

The GS410 from Kotion Each features a great design that balances ergonomics and aesthetics. With comfortable foam pads for the earcups, it also includes ample padding for the headband. Additionally, it also has adjustable hinges to get you the perfect fit. This ensures that you can use the headphone for longer gaming sessions without pain or strain. The in-line controls make it easier for you to mute the mic and control headphone volume. The microphone aims to be highly adjustable and perfectly captures your in-game comms. It uses a single jack for sound and microphone, making it convenient to use with many devices.

Redgear Cosmo 7.1

The Redgear Cosmo 7.1 comes with a hardware-supported virtual surround sound engine that aims to make your gaming more immersive. Its noise-cancelling microphone assures clear communication, and its flexible design allows it to be put away neatly when not in use. As a USB microphone, it doesn’t depend on the availability of a 3.5mm jack to be usable. Additionally, it has multi-colour RGB lighting on the headphone to add to the aesthetics. The headphone has been designed to be light and comfortable without compromising on performance and comes with extra soft earmuffs that promise soft-touch comfort.

EKSA E900

The lightweight metal frame on the Eksa E900 gaming headphone helps deliver better durability over the years without making it uncomfortable to use. It comes with a detachable microphone that can be removed when not needed. The microphone also promises noise-cancelling performance that aims for clearer communication during gaming by cutting out ambient noise. The sound is powered by 50mm neodymium drivers which aim for immersive stereo audio and powerful bass. It comes with a Y-extension cable in the box which makes it compatible with a wide range of devices.

Cosmic Byte GS410 Headphones with Mic

The Cosmic Byte GS410 is a gaming headset that brings you a lot of the bells and whistles of more expensive headsets at an affordable price point. It is well cushioned with more than ample amounts of soft foam on the headband, as well as on the earpads. Tipping the scales at a measly 299g, the GS410 is relatively light and built for comfort so that you can play throughout the day (or night) without any discomfort. There's also an adjustable microphone to easily communicate with your teammates and a dedicated mute switch on the inline control pod. If comfort is your topmost criteria, but you do not want to compromise on any features, the Cosmic Byte GS410 is the right choice.
