Wired vs Wireless
Wired headsets offer the simple advantage of never needing to be charged. If that’s a dealbreaker for you, choose a wired headset. Wireless headsets have different battery lives, but they can be more mobile and less challenging to untangle — plus, they’re easier to transport with less wires needed on the way.
Noise isolation
Each of the options above has different noise isolation capabilities, with some headsets offering it and others not offering it. If noise isolation matters to you, e,g, if you’re in a noisy environment when you’re gaming, make sure to choose a headset with good noise isolation.
Surround sound
The 7.1 surround sound audio system is used in headsets to deliver sound from different angles. This means two additional speakers instead of the usual six for a more immersive experience.
Microphone
Some of these headsets allow for noise cancelation for your microphone only.
Comfort
Each headset has earcups that feature different materials. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X, for example, has AirWeave memory foam cushions.
Build quality
Build quality is difficult to assess without having the headset in your hands or using it. Aim for a quality headset.
