sincity Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Thanks to Intel Coffee Lake Refresh processors combined with Nvidia Turing graphics, the best gaming PCs on the market right now have never been more powerful. This means there’s right now is the perfect time to take the plunge and pick up one of the best gaming headsets. Because, there’s just no way around it: having high quality sound when you’re gaming is just as important as the visual experience.And, sure, many gaming monitors these days have the speakers built-in, but they’re nowhere near to providing the same level of audio fidelity as a dedicated gaming headset. Plus, there are plenty of monitors out there that don’t have any speakers built in at all. So, if you’re looking for an immersive audio experience while you’re chopping up demons left and right in Devil May Cry V, or you want to get some work done in the Division 2, you’ll want either the best computer speakers, or one of the best PC gaming headsets. The best PC games provide rich audio, so you don’t want to miss out.The best PC gaming headsets we've chosen 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 (or neighbours) awake all night, here are the best PC gaming headsets on the market in 2019.Pair your gaming headset with one of the best laptopshttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/DD36bsMkhAaotFXRkz8R9c.jpgHyperX Cloud Revolver S When 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.jpgIf there’s anything you can count on SteelSeries for, it’s pristine audio – and the SteelSeries Arctis Pro is proof perfect of just 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.jpgValuing 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.jpgIf you’re looking for one of the best gaming headsets, but those high-end $300 headsets make your stomach turn and you also 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 Edition Creative 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. Instead of just sitting and iterating on the winning formula of its previous products, Creative completely revamped the Sound BlasterX H7, resulting in a PC gaming headset that looks just as good as it sounds. 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.jpg Compromises are a part of everyday life, but nobody actually likes making them.

And, when you add in the unique and ultra-convenient dual-battery charging system that lets you wear this headset in perpetuity, you have a recipe for one of the best gaming headsets we've ever gotten our hands on.

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, they’ve arguably become better known for their gaming peripherals. With products like the Corsair Void RGB Wireless, it’s hard not to see why. Now, while at first glance, some may scoff at the asking price, the Void Pro RGB Wireless delivers on that price point with great build quality, fantastic sound fidelity and – perhaps most importantly – RGB lighting. Plus, if you’ve already got a full arsenal of Corsair peripherals, the Void Pro RGB Wireless fits in nicely, and can even synchronize lighting effects with other peripherals through the Corsair Utility Engine.Read the full review: Corsair Void RGB Wireless http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/RphKorM4UvNHttuhwvtZRV.jpgCorsair HS50 Stereo Gaming HeadsetAs a general rule when you’re buying anything, much less gaming peripherals, you get what you pay for. You don’t go into Walmart, pick up a $50/£50 gaming headset and expect to be blown away. Corsair takes this rule and turns it on its head. The Corsair HS50 is, for the budget gamer, the best gaming headset you can buy today. Retailing at $50 in the US, the HS50 has sound quality and mic quality that rivals headsets that are twice as expensive. Everything, even down to the build materials radiates quality. If you’re looking for a cheap gaming headset, and you don’t mind giving up some extra bells and whistles, like 7.1 surround and Bluetooth connectivity, you need to take a look at the Corsair HS50.Read the full review: Corsair HS50 Stereo Gaming Headset http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fFGBYgkViioeL3csjBG67h.jpgBeyerdynamic Custom Game While it’s more expensive than we’d like, the Beyerdynamic CUSTOM Game is one of the best gaming headsets we’ve used in a while. 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 Wireless Back 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.
