1. The best wired gaming headsetRazer BlackShark V2

Advantages

  • Restrained styling
  • Comfortable
  • Great audio
  • Often under $100

DISADVANTAGES 

  • Cable hardwired into headset

Razer’s BlackShark V2 is a wired gaming headset that offers killer audio quality, great price, and easy-to-use software. It has a detachable noise-cancelling mic, in-line cable controls. From the moment Razer first started talking about the BlackShark V2, it was clear this was main focus of the headset, and the design of the drivers themselves is effectively doing what the impressive Cloud Alphas do.

It has 3.5mm, USB sound card. The 50mm TriForce Titanium drivers are designed with discrete ports to separate bass, mid, tremble tones from interfering with each other. The result is a richer sound than a standard set, and keeps it on par with HyperX’s 50mm dual-chamber neodymium driver headset. They are like a tribute to HyperX’s own design, and no worse for it.

In my own opinion, the sound is one of the best features of the BlackShark V2, and is far and above what you will get with most other sets in this price point.

2. HyperX Cloud Stinger

ADVANTAGES 

  • Very comfortable design
  • Handy controls, affordable price

DISADVANTAGES 

  • Sound gets blown out at higher ranges

The $50 wired gaming headset proves that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort when you’re on a tight budget. The Stinger’s sturdy, feather-light frame and soft, faux-leather earcups make for one of the best gaming headsets on a budget we’ve worn yet, and its useful on ear controls and solid microphone certainly don’t hurt either. Finding a comfortable fit is arguably the most important thing you can look for in a gaming headset, and the Cloud Stinger doesn’t disappoint on that front.

This device also gives very strong audio quality for the price though things can get a bit blown out at max volume. The Stinger is an amazing value if you’re looking for good sound within a superbly comfy set of cans for less than $50. The $99 Cloud Stinger wireless is also a good alternative if you want to enjoy the Stinger’s excellent design without wires.

3. Best Streaming HeadsetLogitech G Pro X

Compatibility: PS4, Xbox One, PC/Mac, Nintendo Switch, Mobile 

Connectivity: 2.4GHz wireless, wired

Drivers: Hybrid mesh PRO-G 50mm Neodymium

Surround sound modes: DTS Headphone:X 2.0

Weight: 320g

The Logitech G Pro X is a great all in one solution with microphone designed for broadcasting and booming surround sound to boot if you don’t want to go through the trouble of finding the best microphone for streaming. When it comes to streaming, having a good mic can be more important than your quality game audio.

The Logitech G Pro X work with some of Blue legendary microphone technology to capture clear, natural and isolated recorded voice. In addition, you can use the Blue VO!CE software to auto-tune your voice with presets making it a great option as a microphone for streaming and podcasting.
As just a plain gaming headset, the Logitech G Pro X is no slouch either. It generates huge, concussive audio, but doesn’t sacrifice higher frequency sounds to achieve this.

4. The best PC headset for gaming Razer Kraken V3 X

ADVANTAGES 

  • Brilliant 7.1 surround sound on PC
  • Comfortable
  • Affordable

DISADVANTAGES 

  • 7.1 only on PC
  • Non-detachable mic
  • Only USB connection

The Razer Kraken V3 X is both the latest ‘Kraken’ headset from Razer and the latest ‘X’ headset from Razer. The idea is that the latter, when added to the former’s name, would make a more affordable and value-for money entry point to the Kraken range. And the V3 X continues to do that: in short, the V3 X enhances its predecessor in every way and takes advantage of some of the latest advancements that Razer can offer and packages it into a value-busting proposition. 

The headset has been refreshed to include the latest developments and enhancements that Razer has in its bag, but in particular, it’s the microphone and the drivers which get the most attention. Both features are upgraded to almost be in line with Razer’s top dog headset, the BlackShark V2: the microphone is the now Razer’s Hyperclear Cardioid mic, with greater speech pickup and noise cancellation; and the drivers are now Razer’s own excellent TriForce beasts, offering improvements across the sound spectrum.

In actual, everyday and gaming use, we found the sound excellent still, and the 7.1 still shines on PC this is a PC-first gaming headset still though it is a little tinnier than the top tier BlackShark headsets. The mic is also an excellent upgrade, though it being non-detachable will irk some folks. However, for the price, this is an excellent gaming headset, particularly for those looking to get into the pc gaming headset game, and it features all the hallmarks of Razer’s audio excellence.

Razer is not only highly regarded for its brand recognition, their products are what most pro gamers wear by Razer headsets are lightweight and have stellar audio performance, so if you can afford to make the jump there’s no reason to delay.
