Gaming Headsets

The Arctis Nova Pro Omni is one of the best lifestyle gaming headsets available. It connects to multiple devices simultaneously without sacrificing sound quality, excels in competitive gaming, is comfortable, and the battery never runs out.

The Alienware Pro wireless headset excels in both gaming and everyday use. More than just gamers, music enthusiasts, and professionals will enjoy the sound quality, comfort, and versatility. Those willing to invest will find a feature-rich, all-in-one audio solution.

The Logitech A20 X is a great all-around headset for those with a multi-device gaming station. You can switch between connections from two devices and Bluetooth, without the hassle of reattaching cables.

The Audeze Maxwell is the gaming headset to get if you hop between consoles and PC often. Not only does it offer superb audio quality, but it also has some of the best feature compatibility on the market. This is a special headset, though it does have its share of rough edges.

The Audeze Maxwell 2 is a great improvement over the original. However, if you already own the original Maxwell, I would wait for the upcoming ANC version. As a gamer, the sound performs well across most genres, but it felt too warm and heavy on my head after extended sessions.

You can do better than the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Gen 2. While it is an update to its predecessor, it's marginal at best. There's a lack of ANC, and you still can't really use them without pulling out the boom mic. For a little more you can get much better. But that's assuming you want to spend a little bit more.

If you're expecting graphene drivers to reinvent audio, you may come away disappointed, but for everyone else here's the bottom line: The Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED sounds good, feels good, and lasts a long time. It works almost everywhere, and it has lots of good software features to boot.

The EPOS H3PRO Hybrid is one of the best gaming headsets on the market, if you've got cash to burn. The slightly short dongle connection and battery life are a bit disappointing, but easy to get over when the rest of the package is this stacked.

The Razer Barracuda Pro is a well built gaming headset with good sound quality and active noise canceling. The microphone quality and connectivity options are lacking, but if you can ignore those it's a great headset.

If you're looking for a wireless gaming headset for PC, very few perform as well as the Logitech G733, and fewer still are as comfortable. The isolation leaves a little to be desired, but homebound users will find a lot to love.

The Arctis Nova Elite is packed with features, like seamless multi-device connectivity and extensive game presets. Still, the $600 price tag is steep and only really worth it if you game on multiple platforms and want a high-end headset that doubles as everyday headphones.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X is a versatile, feature-rich gaming headset that offers excellent value for its price, providing wide compatibility across gaming platforms, solid battery life, and extensive audio customization options through its companion app.

The Razer BlackShark V3 Pro excels as a specialized competitive gaming headset with best-in-class wireless latency and excellent positional audio, but treble distortion and persistent fit issues prevent it from being a well-rounded premium option.

The Razer Barracuda X Chroma brings RGB lighting, improved battery life, and better microphone quality to a solid gaming headset, though its value proposition will depend on whether you care about the flashier aesthetics that come with the $30 price increase.

The Logitech G Pro X Wireless is basically the same headset as the Logitech G Pro X, only it's wireless and costs $70 more. That's a steep mark-up, but the headset still brings a lot to make it worth the price.

If you're on the hunt for a gaming headset that does a little bit of everything, the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro is definitely worth some attention. It's not perfect, but it's still very compelling.

The EPOS H3 Hybrid solves a specific problem that an increasing number of gamers are running into: the need to connect to multiple devices at once during multiplayer. Outside of that need, it's a good, albeit expensive gaming headset and people with big ears will probably want to avoid it.

The Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT brings Bluetooth support to the Virtuoso line, but that's pretty much the only significant difference between it and its predecessors. It looks and sounds just as good as the last generation, but it's a lot more expensive.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 (Gen 3) is a solid gaming headset that shines with its multi-platform compatibility and impressive battery life, though its bulky design and basic software features leave room for improvement.

The Logitech G Pro X is one of the best PC gaming headsets around, but its reliance on software means it's only pretty good on console. If you're looking for something comfortable with a lot sound customization options, look no further.

The Razer Barracuda is a solid attempt to split the difference between a regular pair of wireless headphones and a gaming headset. It's not perfect, but it'll get the job done in most situations pretty well.
