sincity Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 There’s never been a better time to get your hands on one of the best gaming PCs, and the same is true if you’re looking for one of the best PC gaming headsets. When you’re playing games, having high quality sound is underrated – you’ve already perfected your visual experience with one of the best graphics cards, so the next step should be getting awesome sound. This is because many of the best gaming monitors simply don’t have speakers built-in, and even the ones that do won’t be great for actually playing games. So, if you want an immersive audio experience while playing some of the best PC games like Battlefield V or the upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake, you’ll want either the best computer speakers, or one of the best PC gaming headsets. You’ll be able to extract every detail of your games.The best PC gaming headsets will have all the bells and whistles that the best computer speakers will offer, but with one key difference – privacy. For anyone that wants to avoid keeping their roommates awake all night, here are the best PC gaming headsets on the market in 2019.http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/DD36bsMkhAaotFXRkz8R9c.jpgHyperX Cloud Revolver SWhen we first sat down to review the HyperX Cloud Revolver S, we were a bit divided. On one hand, it features fantastic 7.1-channel surround sound, delivered through Dolby's trademark digital signal processor. On the other, it's extremely pricey when compared to other similar headsets. Luckily, as one of Kingston's most subdued pair of cans we've ever seen (or heard), the pristine comfort and top-notch sound more than make up for its high price and oddly placed detachable mic.Read the full review: HyperX Cloud Revolver Shttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ZGpTHn7Ec3vaMZN3vdcG6T.jpgSteelSeries Arctis ProIf there's anything you can count on SteelSeries for, it's pristine audio – and the SteelSeries Arctis Pro is proof perfect of that. Not only will this headset provide immersive surround sound for all the explosive action of your favorite games, but, thanks to its included DAC (digital to audio converter), the Arctis Pro will also serve you well while listening to music. It may be a little expensive, but when you consider just how comfortable and bombastic this headset is, well, it's not hard to see why it's one of the best gaming headsets you can buy today.Read the full review: SteelSeries Arctis Pro http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/rweT9B628uzMKcdHGSHdhE.jpgLogitech G Pro Gaming HeadsetValuing raw performance over the traditional ‘gamer aesthetic,’ the Logitech G Pro headset offers fantastic sound quality over long periods of time, and that’s about it – but we’re not complaining. The Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset focuses squarely on great sound quality and comfort, so you don’t have to fork over a fortune for unnecessary flourishes. If you’re looking for something without all the bells and whistles, but can perform where it counts, the Logitech G Pro might be the best gaming headset for you.

With the Razer Nari Ultimate, that can finally be a reality, this gaming headset has haptic motors in the ear cups that makes your ears vibrate. This would be enough to make this at least an interesting headset, but when paired with the long battery life, amazing sound quality and comfortable build, it’s easily one of the best gaming headsets out there. Just, do yourself a favor and turn off the haptic feedback when you’re listening to music.Read the full review: Razer Nari Ultimatehttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/JDTP8YwLsNzkQfW7YkPA6B.jpgAstro A20If you're looking for one of the best gaming headsets, but those high-end $300 headsets make your stomach turn and you don't want something cheap, you should take a look at the Astro A20s. Featuring solid stereo sound performance in a wireless headset, not to mention the stunning 15-hour battery life, this headset has all the necessary features that you might want in its price range. Sure, it doesn't have surround sound, but it more than makes up for it with its economy and battery life.Read the full review: Astro A20http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/39twdLHFmVdqTqfmyzBmdE.jpgCreative Sound BlasterX H7 Tournament EditionCreative has created a name for itself over the ears for crafting sublime audio products – and the Creative Sound BlasterX H7 Tournament Edition further cements that legacy.

If you’re looking for a comfortable, sturdy and meaty-sounding headset, the Creative Sound BlasterX H7 Tournament Edition is one of the best PC gaming headsets today.

Packed with 50mm Neodymium drivers and Bluetooth compatibility, this gaming headset provides fantastic sound quality wirelessly. And, it’s even compatible with other gaming platforms, so you don’t have to juggle around different headsets. It’s a bit on the expensive side, but given how good this headset sounds, we’d say it’s worth it.Read the full review: Asus ROG Strix Fusion 700 http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/QFS4mZtbYjGhhudVxBmCJR.jpgSteelSeries Arctis Pro WirelessCompromises are a part of everyday life, but nobody actually likes making them.

This means you can likely get two full days of gaming in between charges. However, there’s a catch – unlike the Cloud Flight’s competition, namely the Astro A20, this gaming headset only offers stereo sound, abandoning any surround sound implementation. You can thankfully get around it by playing around with the Dolby Access app, though, and the sound profile is balanced enough to make this a non-issue.Read the full review: HyperX Cloud Flighthttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ExnNps3dYj4Rf8yCibj3Wj.jpg Corsair released one of the best gaming headsets late last year with the Corsair HS50, and now, it has made it even better by making it wireless and giving it virtual surround sound capabilities. These features on their own would make a great gaming headset, but when you add in the fantastic Corsair CUE software on top of it, it makes a complete package that would make a great addition to your gaming setup.Read the full review: Corsair HS70 Wireless Gaming Headset http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/BSsuDmiZZuCQtFfKratAPK.jpgCorsair Void Pro RGB WirelessIt wasn't that long ago that Corsair was solely known for PC components but, over the last five years or so, its arguably become better known for its gaming peripherals.

It doesn’t feature flashy surround sound or wireless functionality, but this headset excels in two of the most important categories: sound and comfort. Seriously, once you put it on and experience your games in headphones this good, there’s no going back.Read the full review: Beyerdynamic Custom Gamehttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/CWjno8xjn2K6MFcgc5FLSA.jpgTurtle Beach XO ThreeIf you're the type of gamer that isn't afraid to let the world know you're playing games, the Turtle Beach Elite Pro Tournament might just be the best gaming headset for you. Not only is it supremely comfortable to wear, but its 50mm drivers mean that sound quality is always top notch – even if it could use a bit more bass in the mix. You really do have to be into the 'gamer aesthetic' though, as its plastic build and orange highlights personify the style. But, if you can get past the looks and the price tag, there's a lot to love about the Turtle Beach Elite Pro Tournament.Read the full review: Turtle Beach Elite Pro Tournament http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Kf9YmoV8TYScdZ8nbk7dLN.jpgAstro A50 WirelessBack when the original Astro A50 launched, we called it a ‘game-changing, experience-enhancing headset,’ and, thankfully, its wireless successor follows in its footsteps – while adding in wireless functionality. Not only is it ready to rock with your PC, but with PS4, Xbox One and legacy consoles as well – a headset that’s robust and versatile.Bill Thomas and Gabe Carey have also contributed to this articlePut your audio quality to the test in the best PC gameshttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/Sn-zjY27czE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
