What to look for in a wireless gaming headset
Wireless headsets in particular offer a lot of features and functions.
- Sound quality: Higher-priced headsets often feature better sound, but look closely at frequency response, sensitivity/volume, noise cancellation, and software audio processing like Dolby Atmos and surround sound.
- Microphone: Consider the specs of the microphone, whether it’s on a boom arm, flip to mute, and whether you can adjust or detach it.
- Comfort and build quality: Look at the shape, depth, and pads of the earcups, and consider the adjustability of the headband.
- Battery life: Make sure to check how long a wireless headset lasts between charges.
- Compatibility: Be sure your headset works with your console or PC, using Bluetooth or 2.4-gigahertz wireless.
- Design: There are lots of color variations and RGB LED options to explore.
Are wireless headsets good for gaming?
A wired or USB-connected headset is popular for keeping latency down and sound quality high while you’re playing a game. But wireless headsets that connect via Bluetooth can do a decent job in-game, especially if the Bluetooth protocol is version 5.0 or higher. With that said, in general, a dongle-connected headset will yield the best results for gaming. A wireless headset is also great for console gaming because it means you can sit on a couch away from your device, without the need to string a long cable across the room.
