Finding the best gaming headset for your console or PC can be a tough task. Not only are there compatibility concerns, but there are also a number of elements you need to consider, from comfort and audio quality to microphone performance.
This makes it virtually impossible to judge the quality of a gaming headset from specs alone. Fortunately, weβve stepped in to help find the best gaming headset options for every budget.
Our team of experts has thoroughly tested every gaming headset we feature. We compare the build quality with other headsets while also testing the audio, battery life, and microphone performance. We also endeavour to test every feature, such as customisable RGB lighting,Β haptic feedbackΒ and ANC.
We update this list throughout the year, ensuring it reflects the best gaming headset options on the market at any given moment. This way, you can ensure you get the very best option for your needs and budget.
And if you want to narrow your search to a particular platform, check out ourΒ best PS5 headsetΒ and best Xbox headsetΒ roundups. Those headsets have been explicitly tested with the named platforms.

How We Test
We use every headset we test for at least a week. During that time, weβll check it for ease of use and put it through its paces by using it in a variety of games, as well as playing music in order to get the full experience.
We also check each headsetβs software (if applicable) to see how easy it is to customise and set up.

Average headset microphone
The Alienware Pro headset looks and feels like a high-end product and wouldnβt look out of place in our best headphones list. Thanks to its matte white or black finishes that barely show any smudges or fingerprints, the Alienware Pro doesnβt have too much of a heavy gamer aesthetic which means youβll feel comfortable taking them out and about.Β
In fact, at just 315g and fitted with plush leatherette earcups, the Alienware Pro are light and comfortable enough for everyday wear and even for gym sessions too.Β
What is missing from the Pro headset is a 3.5mm lead, so keep this in mind if you prefer hooking up to analogue audio.Β
Otherwise, the Alienware Pro headset features large 50nm drivers, active noise cancellation (ANC) and 2.4Ghz wireless listening for lag-free listening and, overall, we were left impressed. Sound quality is exceptional, regardless of whether itβs coming over the 2.4Ghz wireless or Bluetooth, with games and entertainment sounding warm, detailed and with plenty of directional separation too. You can also use the Dolby Access app to change the sound profile too, if you so wish.Β
While it does come equipped with a detachable boom microphone, which is undoubtedly nice to have, it tends to produce a heavily compressed sound with notable background noise too. Itβs decent enough for most casual and gaming uses, but definitely couldnβt be used for anything where more oomph is needed.Β
Plus, we found the Alienware Pro offered a seriously generous battery life too and offered up to 70-hours (with ANC off) or 30-hours with ANC on.
Overall, if you want a brilliant pair of gaming cans that can double up as some of the best noise cancelling headphones, with a stylish and more unassuming design compared to alternatives, youβd be hard pressed to find a better pair than the Alienware Pro.

As great as over-ear gaming headsets can be, oftentimes they can feel a bit cumbersome compared to the minimalist nature of earbuds, and the latter are usually the better option during the hotter months of the year. If youβre ready to see what a pair of great gaming earbuds can bring to the table, then your search should start and end with the phenomenal SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds.
First off, if youβre a gamer who jumps between multiple consoles fairly regularly, then you wonβt have to worry about any compatibility issues here. The GameBuds work with all major consoles including the Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series consoles and the Meta Quest 3. Just bear in mind that there are two versions of the device, one meant for Xbox and the other for PS5, although strangely we were able to get the former to also work with a PS5 console.
Of course, the most important aspect of all is sound quality, and the GameBuds absolutely nail it on this front. When playing the latest games, youβll be able to pick up on a lot of background detail that can usually get lost if youβre playing with lesser powered speakers. Theyβre also pretty solid for music playback too, which is great for bringing your favourite Spotify/Apple Music playlists into the mix.
An extra feature that still isnβt a given on gaming headsets but has been added here is active noise cancelling. With ANC in tow, you wonβt have to worry about any background noise impeding on your gaming sessions, which is great if you live in a fairly busy household. Someone else can easily be watching TV as you play with the GameBuds.
Thereβs always the concern that earbuds lag behind headphones when it comes to battery life, which can get in the way of longer play sessions, but we think that most people will be perfectly content with whatβs available here. You can get up to 10-hours of use from just a single charge, and the charging case allows them to be topped up quickly whilst also providing a total of 40-hours of playback.

TheΒ HyperX Cloud Alpha WirelessΒ is a great headset for anyone that wants to game on the PC and PS5, coming with a 2.4GHz USB-A receiver, which we found remarkably simple to set up.
We thought that the headset felt properly premium, from the metal earcups to the red-accented headband. It also struck us as very stylish, lacking some flashier features like RGB lighting but having a more mature and sleek aesthetic.
In terms of audio, our reviewer noted that the headset has a big, meaty sound profile that comes with lots of volume to boot, which is ideal for gaming. Our review also mentioned how the Cloud Alpha Wireless packs a lot of nuance and detail, which also makes it an ideal choice for anyone hoping to listen to music or podcasts.
The shining feature of this headset has to be the battery life, which clocks in at over 300 hours. We noted that the battery didnβt appear to drain, with our reviewer not needing to charge the headset for the two weeks it was used. So, for anyone whoβs looking for a headset that can last through the night without issue, there is no better choice than the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless.

TheΒ AceZone A-Spire, while perhaps lacking the good looks of its counterparts, offers performance that leaves a lasting impression.
At 270g, the headset emerges as a featherweight contender, delivering an unparalleled level of comfort even during multiple 8-hour workdays. Featuring a flexible leather-clad headband and velvety ear cushions, it stands as an ideal companion for those immersive gaming sessions, aligning seamlessly with the standards upheld by eSports aficionados.
The attached microphone is versatile, effortlessly conforming to various positions while maintaining stability. Noteworthy is the thoughtfully incorporated green mark, ensuring optimal alignment for crystal-clear communication β a crucial feature for the eSports-focused among us.
Connectivity options further elevate the A-Spireβs appeal, spanning USB, Bluetooth, and Aux interfaces, accommodating multiple devices for a low-latency experience.
Crucially, the audio performance is noteworthy, even if the 40mm cans are smaller than those of some competitors in our chart. They deliver impressive clarity with a dedicated app that adds an additional layer of customisation, allowing users to fine-tune the audio output to their tastes. There are also specific game profiles for popular FPS games like Apex Legends to help pick up on footsteps and improve game performance.
For those venturing into the eSports realm, the AceZone A-Spire is a reliable entry point, seamlessly blending comfort, adaptability, and superior audio performance.

TheΒ Corsair Virtuoso ProΒ may seem like a rather stripped-back option compared to some similarly priced alternatives given the Β£169.99/$199.99 price tag, but it does so in order to prioritise audio performance over all else. An aim thatβs largely achieved.
Clad in a premium combination of aluminium and plastic, the Virtuoso Pro certainly feel premium, though at 338g, theyβre certainly not the most lightweight cans around. That said, our reviewer found that they were comfortable enough in general use, with nice fabric padding in all the right areas to help alleviate the build-up of pressure on the head.
What you wonβt find, however, is much in the way of built-in controls. You wonβt find any buttons or switches on the cans or even an in-line control on the cable. These features have largely been sacrificed to deliver an open-back design, which is great for audio performance, but no so much when it comes to convenience.
Speaking of, the open-back design of the cans deliver a much wider soundstage than regular over-ear alternatives that delivered exceptional directional audio in testing, whether youβre playing the latest Call of Duty or the new Forza Motorsport. These deliver a seriously immersive sound experience with a powerful low-end, a clear and detailed mid-range and a sharp top-end, though the latter could sometimes be a little too sharp.
The attached microphone isnβt quite as impressive, however, with some notable compression and thin-sounding vocals in testing. Itβs more than serviceable for quick chats with friends during gaming sessions, but streamers will likely want to look elsewhere.

Our extensive tests show that theΒ Xbox Wireless HeadsetΒ is the best gaming headset choice for anyone who owns Microsoftβs consoles. We were able to easily connect it to ourΒ Xbox Series XΒ wirelessly, while also using our smartphone simultaneously forΒ DiscordΒ chats.
We also really liked the Xbox-themed design, and found the rotating control dial allowed us to easily alter the volume without blindingly searching for small buttons. We were also impressed with the headsetβs wide range of features, which includesΒ Dolby AtmosΒ that creates an immersive 3D audio effect.
We found the audio quality to be superb during testing, although we do recommend fiddling with the equaliser to find a soundscape to your liking, as the audio sounds a little muddy to us out of the box.
You can admittedly find plenty of other gaming headsets that have been designed with the Xbox in mind, such as theΒ HyperX CloudX Stinger Core WirelessΒ andΒ Corsair HS75 XB Wireless, but Microsoftβs own headset is our favourite, mainly due to its incredible value.

While it might be tempting to opt for the pricierΒ Sony Inzone H9Β (although itβs certainly worth picking up if you jump between games on PS5 and PC), theΒ Pulse EliteΒ headset offers such good value for money that it easily jumps in at the top spot for our favourite PS5 headset.
As a successor to theΒ PlayStation Pulse 3DΒ that launched alongside the PS5, the Pulse Elite is still compatible with Sonyβs 3D Audio to create an immersive experience that makes it feel as if youβre hearing everything from the perspective of the character youβre playing, but thereβs more to it than that.
Despite its Β£129.99/$149.99 price point, the Pulse Elite packs high-end planar magnetic drivers which bring out even more detail than before, making conversations feel crisp and adding tons of weight to action scenes. To see them at their best, you only need to wear the Pulse Elite during the chaotic opening segment ofΒ Marvelβs Spider-Man 2.
There isnβt any active noise cancelling on the Pulse Elite which may be worth bearing in mind if you game in a busy household, but itβs a small issue when you consider how good the sound quality is. Plus, the comfortable padded ear cushions do a decent job of expelling a degree of external noise.
Just like theΒ Pulse ExploreΒ earbuds, the Pulse Elite packs Sonyβs new PlayStation Link technology, which allows the headset to connect to your PS5 almost instantly. Even though it requires a USB-C dongle to operate (itβs included in the box), it still works brilliantly and allows you to get straight into your desired game quickly.
As a final cherry on top, the Pulse Elite can last for up to 30-hours at a time, but if youβre ever running low then a simple 10-minute top-up can net you another two-hours of playtime. Thereβs even a charging hook thrown in that allows you to replenish the headsetβs battery when itβs stored away.

Battery life isn’t improved over its predecessor
Although itβs some Β£/$50 more than its predecessor, the BlackShark V3 Pro is a brilliant gaming headset that offers a comfortable fit and immersive audio too.Β
At 367g, the headphones arenβt quite as light as the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X but we did find we got used to the weight after a while. Plus, the memory foam earcups are soft and breathable too, which means for a more comfortable fit too.Β
The headphones have plenty of controls including a microphone mute, power button, USB-C, microphone jack and a volume dial on its left side. On the right, youβll find a profile switch, a customisable dial and an ANC toggle. While thereβs undoubtedly a good array of ports, connectivity is easily its strong point here. Thereβs Bluetooth and a HyperSpeed Gen-2 receiver that has the option for an ultra-low-latency mode (via Razerβs Synapse 4 Suite). You can also use both channels simultaneously for real power user action too.Β
Otherwise, the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro offers a brilliant soundstage β especially with their directionality and precision. We found when gaming that footsteps, distant gunshots and explosions have more oomph and allow you to feel like youβre right in the midst of it all.Β
While we do wish the headphones performed better at higher volumes, and the microphone offered a stronger noise rejection, generally we were impressed.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X offers a durable yet lightweight design, refined audio and a clear detachable boom microphone, all for under Β£/$100. If you want a solid pair of gaming headphones but lack the budget, this is the pair for you.Β
Although the design looks nice enough, the plastic construction does tend to attract general grease and finger prints if you arenβt careful. Even so, as the Arctis Nova 3X weighs just 260g, theyβre easy and non-fatiguing to wear for extended periods.Β
Despite the affordable price, the Arctis Nova 3X are an incredibly versatile pair of headphones and are equipped with the same slim USB-C receiver found in the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds which enables a low latency 2.4GHz connection to a wide range of supported devices. Thereβs also Bluetooth 5.3 too for non-gaming uses too.
With its neodymium magnetic drivers, the Arctis Nova 3X provides a smooth and refined audio experience that works well for both gaming and general media consumption too. Its low-end performance is pleasant enough, however those who like a deeper bass should look elsewhere.Β
Alongside the EQ presets, found in the SteelSeriesβ Sonar software, you can also choose between over 200 game-specific audio presets from the likes of Call of Duty, Fortnite and many more.
Otherwise, the Arctis Nova 3X sports a detachable boom microphone that offers surprisingly clear and full-bodied pickup while rejecting nearby ambient noise too.Β
Overall, anyone looking for an affordable, versatile and comfortable pair of wireless gaming headphones should look no further than the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X Wireless.

If youβre looking for a gaming headset with a premium build that doesnβt compromise on audio quality, the Audeze MaxwellΒ is for you.
This high-end gaming headset delivers some of the best audio weβve experienced from a gaming headset, including rich and detailed sound with strong bass thanks to its 90mm planar magnetic drivers.
The design is understated but durable with its subtle all-black design and metal and high-quality plastic build. The earcups are large and plush, while the suspension-style headband ensures these headphones are comfortable to wear during longer gaming sessions.
Along with physical buttons, the Audeze HQ app gives you access to a range of settings on Windows, macOS and smartphones, including EQ presets, mic sidetone levels and the game and chat audio mix.
When it comes to connectivity, you can go wireless with Bluetooth 5.3 or use the bundled USB-C receiver. Thereβs also the option to use a USB-C connection or the classic 3.5mm cable, though the exact options you get depend on which of the countless compatible devices you pair the headset with, with the list including the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Windows, Mac, Android and iOS.
For audiophiles, the Audeze Maxwell supports a wide range of codecs, including SBC, AAC and LDAC, along with the ability to play hi-res audio up to 24-bit/192KHz. Thereβs also support for Dolby Atmos spatial audio with the Xbox version of the headset.
Finally, the 80-hour claimed battery life makes the Maxwell one of the best gaming headsets in its price category, with fast charging applying 30 hours of listening from a 20-minute charge.

If you regularly move between different consoles and platforms, theΒ Logitech G Astro A50 XΒ is our number one recommendation.
This headset might be on the pricier side, but for platform switching its a dream with Logitechβs PlaySync technology letting you do so at the press of a button. The feature works via the included base station, which can be connected to two consoles, a PC and a Bluetooth device all simultaneously. These you can easily cycle through using the aforementioned button on the headphones.
The Astro A50 X looks almost identical to the Astro A50 that launched in 2019 with the same large ear cups, thick padding and flip-down microphone. The construction is fully plastic aside from the metal stems, but its plenty tough and durable. We found it to be remarkably comfortable on top of this, with two breathable cushions covering the ear cups and a snug, but pinch-free fit.
The audio quality is superb and matches the likes of theΒ SteelSeries Arctis Nova ProΒ in terms of detail. The 40mm drivers offer tremendous bass and thereβs a lot of clarity to the mix. Spatial audio is also precise, with the feature being ideal when paired with FPS titles.
The Logitech G app allows you to set EQ parameters β of which the microphone has its own. This means you can ensure your voice sounds rich and clear to those on the other end. We found the mic to be robust, holding its own against theΒ Razer BlackShark V2 Pro, though the mic arm can slip away from your face during longer sessions.
Thereβs also no noise cancellation, which is something you might want to consider for the most immersive listening experience. However, if you find yourself regularly switching between different platforms, weβd highly recommend the Logitech G Astro A50 X.

Although itβs slightly more expensive than its G522 alternative, the Astro A20X Lightspeed Wireless now benefits from wireless connectivity.
Otherwise, at first glance youβd be forgiven for not noticing the differences between the Astro A20X Lightspeed Wireless and G522, as both have a textured plastic finish. However, look a bit closer and youβll find the Astro model incorporates more colour which gives off a meaner look than the G522.Β
Turn on the A20X Lightspeed Wireless and youβll be greeted with RGB lighting which ensures the headphones feel like a solid pair for gaming.Β
One of the key upgrades for the Astro is with its wireless connectivity, as the headphones come with a small PlaySync base station that handles the 2.4GHz wireless connection. Not only does this support Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch consoles, plus PC, but thereβs also Bluetooth connectivity for mobile and tablets too.
Overall, sound quality is admirable, with a soundstage that we concluded to be βdecently wideβ with good placement too. While when listening to music we found the vocals to feel pushed back, generally thereβs little to complain about with audio.Β
In addition, the 48KHz/16-bit microphone does a great job with crisp and clear voice pickup thatβs great for communication and even for casual content creation too.Β
FAQs
Headphones with a 7.1 surround sound can make audio seem as if itβs coming from a specific location, which is helpful to determine where your enemies are lurking. This feature is often only available on PC.
Some gaming headsets can be used for work, but be mindful that many have garish designs and can often see lots of sound leakage.
The Nintendo Switch and the Switch OLED now have Bluetooth support, so can be used with headsets that have a 3.5mm audio jack or Bluetooth.
