What Is the Best Gaming Headset for All Types of Games?

The Best Headphones for Gamers

Gaming is a lucrative hobby — it does not matter if you are playing at  Vulkan Bet or if you are playing Triple-A games like Assassin’s Creed. You need the best devices to get the best experience. Today, we will focus our attention on the best gaming headsets — we will provide you with a list based on functionality and attempt to find a balance between features and price. 

1. Razer BlackShark V2

This headset is wired and comes with a 3.5mm jack plus a USB connection. The beauty of this headset is that it has a detachable noise-canceling mic. So, it is up to you if you want to play MMORPG, where you get to talk to other players or if you want to play alone. 

This model is the replacement of Razer for its HyperX Cloud Alpha. Here are its features:

  • Available in black, white, and neon green
  • Bass, treble, and mid-sound drivers
  • Uses a HyperClear cardioid microphone
  • Passive noise-cancelation capacity. 

What you will love about this headset is that it is light at 240 grams. It is an excellent choice for eSports or for people who want to compete. The padding is thick, which also gives you comfort. Furthermore, the ears are wrapped with breathable fabric and leatherette. 

2. SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless

This wireless headset is compatible with many devices, including PS5, Nintendo Switch, and some phones and tablets. It uses Bluetooth at 2.4 GHz. 

Here are the features:

  • Battery lasts for 22 hours
  • Surround sound modes
  • Supports different audio systems like Dolby Atmos and Microsoft Spatial Sound
  • Telescopic arm for adjustment.

This headset, despite being wireless, is a little heavy at 338 grams. It is fine, considering the power it packs underneath. It also uses advanced technology for noise cancellation, and the result is an immersive gaming experience. There is also an EQ setting where you can make changes to the sounds. 

In addition to all of these, you can remove the batteries and replace them. You do not have to recharge the battery — you can buy a separate pack and then use it when the one you are currently using runs out.

3. Astro Gaming A10 (Gen 2)

This is a headset that we recommend for gamers who have a tight budget. It works with PS5, PCs, and PS4. Nintendo Switch, and also Macs. It is a wired headset, and we can say that it has all the basic things you need. 

Here are the features:

  • Wide audio spectrum
  • Lightweight 
  • Excellent microphone
  • Flip-to-mute
  • Available in black, white, and lilac.

Even if it is a budget headset, it is not a pain to wear. It is lightweight, and you will not feel heavy on the head after prolonged use. The padding is soft, which makes it fit snuggly yet comfortably.

Additionally, this one has a boom mic, which is at the back of the left ear cup. The mic has a long and flexible rubber arm, which is great because you can adjust the distance of the mic from your mouth. Most wonderfully, it comes with a cable six feet in length. As such, the distance between your seat and your CPU is not an issue.

4. HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless Headphones Review

Last on our list is one of the best wireless gaming headphones out on the market. This headset boasts of whopping 300 hours of battery life — over 12 days of continuous use! The only gripe that users have with this headset is that it has no noise-canceling feature. 

Here are the features:

  • Long battery life
  • Microphone
  • Metal frame
  • Cushion is made of memory foam and leatherette.

Using the HyperX Cloud is simple. There is a volume dial on the ear, and there is also a power button. It takes a long press to turn it on and also a long press to turn it off. 

In addition to its main features, you can download a program called HyperX NGenuity. It is a firmware that supports the device. Once downloaded, you can launch this software and then control the device from there. 

The software window can also show you the battery level. On top of that, there is an EQ system where you can adjust the sounds manually or use the presets. Overall, we can say that this headset is the one you should pick, provided that you have the budget for it. 

Whether or not you want a wired or a wireless headset is your option. The quality of sound for all these headsets is similar, considering the leaps and bounds of the audio industry in recent years. Just keep in mind that wireless headsets are more expensive. On the upside, they are easier to store, and they prevent wire clutter.
