Best gaming headset 2025

The Razer Blackshark V2 Pro is facing people looking for a serious gaming headset focused on competitive gaming. However, there are many reasons to appeal to other gamers.

A key part of its competitive focus is a superior quality microphone that offers a clearer and wider range of audio than most gaming headsets, making it perfect for important Gamecoms. Also, since it doesn’t compromise on the form’s functions, the microphone won’t collapse (although it can be detached), but the volume dial protrudes prominently, and its style is practical.

However, what really steps up the latest version of the Blackshark V2 Pro from a broader appeal perspective is the vast improvement in Bluetooth and battery life. This isn’t the first choice headset for gaming or gaming, but at least it’s ready for listening on your phone or mobile phone. Additionally, during gaming, you can use Crystal Clear Audio from the microphone on your headset to make calls.

The overall sound quality and comfort are also excellent. This is a closed-back headset, but the fabric padding doesn’t sweat too much while providing plenty of cushioning. The sound here doesn’t offer big bass or class-leading clarity, but it’s a great midrange sound, allowing you to fine-tune the audio with the Razer app.

This and the battery life are all solid, with 70 hours wireless and 90 hours Bluetooth. In our use, it effectively means you only need to charge once a week, and you get 6 hours of games on a 15-minute charge.

Alienware is always a premium brand, but it costs money and isn’t it usually We offer the same quality as our cheap competitors. However, the Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Headset is a surrounding area and proves that the company can provide excellent hardware.

Aside from some issues with PC software and Earcup controls, Alienware Pro Wireless offers some of the best audio quality with a pair of wireless headphones on the market, and equally incredible microphones. It is also compatible with a variety of platforms. In other words, you can easily switch from your PC to your PS5 or smartphone.

However, one of the best features of Alienware Pro is its comfort. While it’s easy to praise all the internal specs that empower the impressive headphones, it’s equally important that the headset is comfortable. And, fortunately, teeth For Alienware Pro Wireless.

The Asus Tuf Gaming H3 is a budget gaming headset gladiator with no compromise on quality, earning a lot of hell for under $50 (£60). A solid build, subtle look and excellent audio quality help this particular pair of cans steal the crown of your budget and serves as evidence that you don’t have to spend a lot of money upgrading your gaming PC setup.

At BAT, the ASUS TUF Gaming H3 looks much more expensive than it actually is. The flexible headband and solid construction provide the durability needed to withstand intense daily use, and our testing has confirmed that it is as durable as the brand name suggests.

While many budget options struggle to balance out audio fidelity, the TUF Gaming H3 uses ASUS’ 50mm essence driver to provide excellent clarity. There’s no need to deal with muddy bass. Plus, it wields the excellent microphone that surprised us during testing, providing the capture clarity you would normally expect from a more expensive headset.

There aren’t many cheap headsets that can hit harder than the Asus Tuf Gaming H3. Deserves a spot on the game audio table. Certainly, I’ve used a variety of other headsets that boast flashy features, but even the premium options should be threatened by the H3’s $49.99 (£59.99) price tag.

If you’re not looking for something very flashy and expensive or really cheap, we recommend the Hyperx Cloud 3 – Baby Bear if you do. It’s a great headset that will work well for you, but it doesn’t reach the same standard as some of the more premium options on this list (most notably its bass profile).

But it looks absolutely fantastic, so if you want to make it look stylish on the stream, or if you want to feel great when playing games alone at home, it’s a good choice. However, it’s a bit heavy build so if you want to play for hours or hours, it can feel a bit of a burden.

Both games and music sound great, but ultimately it’s the most important thing for a headset. It’s more expensive than the true “budget” choice above, but it’s really cheap for headsets and noticeable step-ups.

The Astro A50 X is a headset for those who rock multiple gaming consoles along with gaming PCs and mobile devices. PlaySync is a game changer, bringing all platforms together into one low-latency wireless docking station, allowing video pass-through up to 4K/120Hz via HDMI 2.1. The A50 X docking station also allows you to change the display source at the press of a button for ultimate convenience.

Logitech’s 40mm Pro G Graphene Audio Drivers are used alongside the Dolby Atmos, and we expect the Astro A50 X to be not only convenient, but also premium prices. Similarly, it also includes a crystal clear microphone that can beat some standalone options. Both the audio and microphone are fully customizable thanks to the Logitech G-Hub app for PC and mobile. You can also access the community EQ setup if you are not playing around with the settings yourself.

Logitech can also allow simultaneous connections to Bluetooth if only a 2.4GHz lightspeed connection is available. This means you can listen to music on your phone while you own the lobby on your Xbox Series X or PS5. All of these are packed into a very comfortable, light frame available in either black or white, with 24 hours of battery life and contact charging via docking stations.

The Corsair HS65 Wireless feels like a familiar friend as its wired sibling is also one of our favorite headsets. The latest version of the company’s family of headsets embody style, quality and functionality, allowing you to cut the cord without too much compromise.

Both the wireless version and the HS65 surround have their sides well, with the mesh details on the cup adding fashionable talent. Pivot cups mean that you can comfortably wear the headset around your neck between gaming sessions. If the microphone is removable, take it outside as an audio solution while you’re out.

Aesthetics aside, the HS65 Wireless boasts amazing fidelity and balanced audio in multiple ways. 7.1’s surround sound and spatial audio capabilities exist to enhance the best new PC games, but with Corsair’s impressive 50mm drivers, it will bring an immersive level of audible pleasure throughout your Steam library.

The HS65 Wireless is armed with both low-latency connections of 2.4GHz and Bluetooth, the latter, in our opinion, makes it one of the best steam deck accessories. Whether you’re on the go and playing games on the sofa, you can stream sweet PC sounds to your ears for up to 24 hours on a full charge, but it offers 6 hours of playtime at a 15-minute speed. Excellent battery life is just one of the reasons Corsair’s cordless headsets are our current favorite and deserve a spot on the best wireless gaming headset table.

We’ve already spilled beans about how much we like the Corsair HS65 surround, highlighting our new wireless counterpart. However, the original wired model has some unique tricks as it suits the style and fidelity and outstanding microphone quality.

The headset, of course, struggles to compete with the best gaming microphone options, but the Corsair HS65 Surround offers incredible capture performance at a low price. This stylish gaming can boast the level of quality you would expect from a premium alternative. Its sense of style also proves that it doesn’t have to cover all the game gear and edgy aesthetics of RGB.

The Corsair HS65 Surround is ridiculously stylish and looks roughly the same as the wireless version despite its $69.99 (£79.99) price tag. It’s actually a bit of a trendsetter, as the latter model has a wired sibling to appreciate the sense of fashion. Wearing the same attractive mesh mesh design, its pivot cups offer the same level of wearable comfort.

The wires are not particularly aggressive. The HS65 Surround 3.5mm jack adds a pleasant element of versatility that promotes compatibility with a variety of devices. You’ll need to take advantage of the 7.1 surround sound feature of the headset using the included USB sound card, but if you’re looking for a pair of cans to connect to the best PC controller like the steam deck and PS5 Dual Sense, you can do that without an additional adapter.

The H3 Pro Hybrid is a highly versatile wireless gaming headset, literally with all the mainstream features that are currently needed for a gaming headset. This is generally quite low (it was expensive at the time of its first launch). It has a removable boom and internal microphone, in addition to USB wireless, Bluetooth, analog 3.5mm, and wired USB audio connections, as well as both virtual surround and stereo audio output.

You can also activate active noise cancellation by using either a boom microphone or an internal microphone. This allows you to easily block Dan while traveling. The headset is also lightweight and compact, and extremely comfortable. The battery life is pretty decent, but the overall sound quality is top class, but with the exception of the slightly offensive microphone splitter (which actually splits the hair) I don’t really get criticized.

We love some RGB and the Roccat syn Max Air beautifully implements this with the handy magnetic charging dock, not just the headset itself.

Aesthetics aside, when I reviewed this headset, I found it lacked some comfort. If that happens to suit you, there is very little about the Syn Max Air that you miss, past the microphone, a little too sensitive to surrounding sounds.

Roccat has acquired 50mm driver technology from its parent company, Turtle Beach. So here we have an incredible level of quality, including the addition of the superhuman hearing, a must-have feature of shooters. 3D audio is also played, providing a level of immersion to take all your games to the next level.

The idea of ​​a vibrating headset may sound gimmicky, but we hear us because the ultra-thin Kraken v3’s is more than justifying tactile accessories. In a way, Razer’s Rumble Tech feels almost like a subwoofer, as it adds a sense of audio physicality to the device’s 7.1 surround sound feature (although 7.1 is only available in Windows). Fans of FPS experiences like Halo Infinite will love the immersion dedication of the Kraken V3 Hypersense.

Technique aside, the Kraken V3 is also an extraordinary headset in its own right. The durable mix of plastic, metal, and leatherette gives the V3 Hypersense a premium feel, while its removable microphone boasts clarity and efficient noise reduction.

Of course, if you’re a fan of colorful accessories, you’re happy to know that the Kraken V3 Hypersense is covered in Chroma RGB and the company’s lighting technology looks better than ever before.

It’s not often that the only negative you have for a headset is the software you use it, and with the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, it’s really the only drawback you can find after a few weeks of testing.

Prices may separate potential customers, but the reality is that Nova Pro Wireless is worth it. If you want to improve your gaming experience, headsets rarely compete. A major factor in this is AI audio cancellation. Nova Pro Wireless does not turn on/off, but rather listens to the surroundings and makes adjustments on the spot.

Simultaneous connections, 40mm drivers, 20 hours of battery life, and a reasonable 336g weight all combine to create what is called a “total package” during review. The ultimate point in favor of Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is customizability. You can buy a booster pack for $34.99 and change your Earcups and Headband.

Get the convenience and easy gaming PC connection of the portable True Wireless Earbud with Steelseries Arctis Gamebuds. Thanks to the included 2.4GHz wireless USB dongle, you can easily connect to any PC, but Bluetooth also allows you to get a simple connection to your phone or laptop.

Its portability includes 10 hours of listening per bud and an additional 30 hours of charging time in the carry case. Active noise cancellation is also built in, so you can also use it as a travel earphone to block DIN or trains and planes.

The key is, assuming you don’t mind the right style for the ear tips to be pushed into the ear canal, they are really comfortable. It is also safe so you can stand up for medium exercise or use it to stay comfortable for work and games all day long.

The sound quality is excellent and has a very similar sound to the AirPods Pro. They have a bass presence without it being forced and not sounding the warmth of many midrange and clarity of the top end. For games, you also get over 100 sound profiles that are specially tuned for a variety of games. Audio files will still want to look for high-end wired earbuds, but for general listening, Game Bad is great.

GameBuds is not a cheap option, but it’s a competitive price compared to other wireless earphones. Read our complete Steelseries Arctis GameBuds review and find out more about us.
