A top-rated circumaural gaming headset is essential for in-game communication and giving the best listening experience with video game audio and music. The cupped headset form typically includes natural isolation or noise cancellation technology for improved audio clarity and localization. Critical considerations for choosing gaming headsets include sound quality, comfort and connectivity.

Get Active Gameplay Streaming with a Wireless Gaming Headset

A wireless gaming headset lets you enjoy two-way audio and hours of gameplay unencumbered by wires. Most models include volume and other audio controls on the ear cups so you can change settings with minimal movement. Bluetooth® headsets can connect to both PCs and smartphones, making them a versatile and convenient addition to the entertainment hub.

Some headsets link through a USB base, which bypasses the computer’s soundcard to deliver high sound quality and limit ambient noise. Find transmitters among Bluetooth headsets accessories to improve the latency performance and audio quality of your headsets.

Enjoy the Rich Sound Quality of a Wired Stereo Gaming Headset

Wired gaming headsets typically connect via a 3.5mm jack or USB to deliver vivid and clear full-range audio on a budget. Lightweight ear cups with ample foam-and-leatherette cushioning provide reliable comfort suitable for long gaming tournaments. Wired stereo gaming headsets include powerful speaker drivers that deliver simulated surround sound. The headphones have receptive audio drivers with advanced capabilities that let the user accurately predict the origin and direction of in-game sounds, which makes for more immersive gameplay.

Find a Circumaural Gaming Headset With Multiple Compatibility Options

Some gaming headsets have accompanying software programs that offer multiple compatibility and customization options such as equalizer profiles, mic variables and volume controls. Others let you customize your lighting once the headset software pairs with the gaming system. The gaming headsets connect to PCs wirelessly, via USB and 3.5mm jacks to facilitate connectivity with multiple gaming consoles and platforms. Detachable mic headsets are suitable for gamers who are always on the move. Some mics have bidirectional noise-canceling capabilities, which makes for clear and crisp in-game communication.

Boost your Gaming Experience With a Well-Designed Professional Gaming Headset

A professional gaming headset boasts an ergonomic design and premium build quality, both of which make it durable and easier to handle. The headset models let you switch between Studio mode for music and movies and Pro mode for more distinguishable in-game audio and communication. Removable ear pads for over-the-ear and VR headsets are available among headsets accessories to allow for customized comfort and personalization. Modern gaming headsets usually include a rigid aluminum frame, as well as cups and headbands wrapped with memory foam to give an overall stylish look.

The swiveling or rotating ear cups exert minimal pressure on the ears so you can wear them comfortably for long periods. Choose a circumaural gaming headset mic that pivots in different directions so you can talk conveniently while in action. Rechargeable gaming headsets offer up to 30 hours of uninterrupted gameplay on the go. Some are chargeable wirelessly through a wireless charging pad, which eliminates overheating and is universally compatible.

"I purchased this to play call of duty war zone. Before this I was using my Bose headphone. That one works just fine for music but once it comes to games, not that good. Since for FPS games you will need to listen to the footstep sound from every angle, that really doesn’t help. But this headphone, man. It’s cheap price but it’s just work man. I can..."
