Since releasing a number of articles on the top PC hardware in each component category, I have received a number of requests to do an article on the best gaming headsets. So, in this article I’ll be looking at a few different headsets at different price points.
Headsets have become the main source of receiving audio because multi-player games are huge in today’s gaming world. And, one important aspect of multi-player games is the fact that, in order to be successful, you need to communicate with your teammates and fellow gamers.
Where the built-in text-based chat feature that is standard in most multi-player games has failed, gaming headphones have excelled. In certain games, the fractions of seconds that can be saved by communicating to your teammates through the microphone on your headset–as opposed to typing out what you want to say–can be the difference between victory and defeat.
And, while a quality surround sound speaker system can contribute to a very realistic gaming experience, when trying to communicate with teammates and other gamers in multi-player games, the noise from the speakers will get in the way of any kind of communication through a microphone. Headsets, on the other hand, are perfect because they isolate the in-game sound and provide you the option to speak into the microphone without any interruption.
So, if you’re playing any kind of competitive multi-player game, you definitely need to get a decent headset in order to help you improve your in-game success. Below I will go over the top gaming headsets (for PC) at different price ranges. That way you can find a good gaming headset at a price you can afford.
THE BEST PC GAMING HEADSETS Under $500
If you’re looking for the best PC gaming headset on the market you can expect to spend over $200. The options in this range are interesting because they feature two studio-quality wired headsets and three wireless headsets.
The ASTRO A50 is probably the best option if you want the best wireless gaming headset on the market. However, if you don’t need a wireless headset and you want a studio-quality headset, then the Beyerdynamics MMX300 is definitely a solid option.
The Fenix Aria competes with the MMX300 and with a significantly lower price tag might even be the better buy.
In the end, if you’re looking in this price range, you will definitely come away with a top rated gaming headset that is capable of delivering amazing in-game audio.

Recommendation
For those of you audiophiles out there who are looking for the best headphones for gaming and you don’t mind opening up your wallet, the Beyerdynamic MMX300 is a high-end gaming headset you’ll want to take a look at. It isn’t wireless, but then again, if sound quality is at the top of your list, then you’re going to want a wired headset regardless.

Beyerdynamic MMX300
If money is no object to you and quality is everything, then a new Beyerdynamic MMX 300 PC Gaming headset is something you should consider.
With superior sound quality and unheard of comfort from a gaming headset, the MMX 300 headset is at the pinnacle of all gaming headphones.
In fact, the headset is of such a high quality, that it was built with specifications more along the lines of something a pilot would use in the cockpit.
There’s really not much to say about the MMX 300 except for the fact that if you want the best headset for PC gaming on the market, then this it.
So, if you can accommodate the large price tag, then you should definitely consider this Beyerdynamic headset.

Recommendation
If you don’t want to spend quite as much as it’s going to take to get the Beyerdynamic MMX300s, the Feenix Aria’s are another option worth considering. They’re nearly $100 cheaper than the MMX300s and can deliver an excellent audio experience. It should be noted, though, that they don’t quite have the build-quality that the MMX300s have.

| IMPEDANCE | 64 Ohms |
| AUDIO | Stereo |

Feenix Aria
Feenix is somewhat of a newcomer to the gaming headset scene, but that doesn’t mean that their Aria gaming headset should be discredited.
In fact, if you’re looking for a set of studio grade headphones over $200, but you don’t want to spend as much on the Beyerdynamic MMX300’s listed above, the Aria’s are a worthy alternative.
With 50mm drivers and a double impedance of 64 Ohms, the Aria’s can really deliver audiophile-level sound quality when paired with a high-end sound card.
So, if you want a studio-quality gaming headset, but you don’t want to spend over $300 to get one, the Feenix Aria is a great gaming headset for your needs.

ASTRO Gaming A50 |
|
/10 |
|
Recommendation
The ASTRO Gaming A50 is perhaps the best wireless headset on the market. They have a strong KleerNet 5.8GHz wireless radio installed in them, which will help reduce the chances that your signal will get lost while gaming. And, with excellent Dolby Digital 7.1 surround sound, you’ll feel like you’re inside of your game.

| DRIVER | 40mm |
| FREQUENCY | 20Hz-20KHz |

| NOISE CANCEL | Yes |
ASTRO Gaming A50
As far as wireless gaming headsets go, the ASTRO A50 is probably at the top of the mountain.
For starters, with KleerNet’s 5.8GHz wireless radio installed, the chances that your signal will be lost are slim-to-none.
And, with the ability to deliver incredible sound quality and Dolby Digital 7.1 surround sound, you will be able to experience your games in a whole new way.
Ultimately, if you are looking for the best gaming headphones that can deliver high sound quality and are wireless and you don’t mind paying a premium to get them, then definitely get the ASTRO A50s.

SteelSeries Siberia 800 |
|
/10 |
|
Recommendation
Another option you have if you’re looking for a high-end set of wireless gaming headphones is the SteelSeries Siberia 800. The 800 series headset comes with two battery packs that will deliver up to 20 hours of gaming on a single charge.
TECH SPECS
| DRIVER | 40mm |
| FREQUENCY | 20Hz-20KHz |
| IMPEDANCE | 20 Ohms |
| AUDIO | 7.1 Virtual |
| NOISE CANCEL | Yes |
SteelSeries Siberia 800
As far as wireless headsets go, the SteelSeries Siberia 800 or the Astro Gaming A50 are the top dogs.
And, while I feel like the Astro A50 is the better option, the Siberia 800 does come in at a bit lower of a price.
Ultimately, though, the Siberia 800 is an exceptional all-around wireless gaming headset. It comes with two battery packs that will deliver up to 20-hours of gaming on a single charge.
One downside that should be noted is that the Siberia 800 cannot be charged on the fly, but rather you need to charge the batteries on the provided charging hub.
This isn’t terrible, especially considering that they provided two batteries, but it still would have been nice to be able to charge the headset on the fly.

THE BEST PC GAMING HEADSETS Under $200
The $100-$200 price range for PC headsets is also filled with a bunch of valuable options.
For starters, the two Sennheiser headsets (the GAME ONE and GAME ZERO) are capable of delivering really high-end audio.
And, the Razer ManO’War, along with it’s cool name, is one of the best wireless gaming headsets under $200.
The SteelSeries Siberia 350 is a great option, too, if you’re trying to stay closer to $100, and the Logitech G933’s wired headset is budget-friendly (at least in this price range) as well.
Overall, there are quite a few good options in this price range.

The Razer ManO’War wireless gaming headset have more than just a really cool name…
For starters and as mentioned, they are a wireless headset which for some is a big plus. And, although they are not the only wireless headset on this list, they are one of only a few wireless headsets to utilize larger-than-40mm drivers.
Not that the larger drivers necessarily indicate better sound, but it certainly doesn’t hurt.
The ManO’War’s also provide 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound, a retractable mic, and can deliver up to 14 hours of gaming on a single charge.
And, like some of the other headsets listed above, you can change the color scheme of the LED lights with Razer Chroma.

 |
 |
Sennheiser GAME ONE |
|
/10 |
|
Recommendation
If you don’t want to pony up quite as much as it takes to get the Sennheiser GAME ZERO headset listed above, Sennheiser’s GAME ONE headphones are a nice alternative. Like the GAME ZEROs the GAME ONE’s will deliver great sound and a solid mic and they don’t cost quite as much.

Logitech G933 Artemis |
|
/10 |

Recommendation
Logitech’s G933 Artemis Spectrum headset is yet another quality option if you are looking for a nice set of gaming headphones. They come in two options, wired or wireless. And, both are priced very well considering the quality you get from them.
TECH SPECS
| DRIVER | 40mm |

The Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum’s come as either a wireless headset (which are around ~$140) or a wired headset (which is about ~$120).
The G933 Artemis can be ran in 7.1 Dolby surround sound or as DTS Headphone: X surround sound. And the included Pro-G drivers and onboard equalizer will deliver incredible sound.
The headset even comes with three programmable macro buttons on the side and the LED lights can be changed to whatever color you want, both of which makes this headset incredibly customizable.
All-in-all, while there may be better sounding headsets out there, for the price the Logitech G933 Artemis gaming headset is a solid buy for the price.

Logitech G533 |

|
Recommendation
The Logitech G533 Wireless Headset provides solid audio performance whether you’re gaming or listening to some tunes. Its comfortable design with audio controls on the left ear cup makes it easy to use. The customization options are where it shines with the ability to create profiles for your games. As a gamer’s headset, it’s a winner even if you can’t use it with your phone.
TECH SPECS
| DRIVER | 40mm |
| FREQUENCY | 20Hz-20KHz |
| IMPEDANCE | 32 Ohms |
| AUDIO | DTS 7.1 |
| NOISE CANCEL | Yes |
Logitech G533
The Logitech G533 Wireless Headset is a high-performance unit that delivers excellent sound quality with lossless digital audio transmission. It’s comfortable and has an impressive battery life of 15 hours. There are several equalizer settings and other options with your choice of stereo or surround sound for creating your ideal audio environment. That’s where it really stands out.
Its simple design belies its plethora of features. The headset is perhaps a bit heavier and bulkier than comparable models. But it becomes a non-issue after you get into the action. The mesh-fabric ear cups make it easy on your ears. It has a microphone with a built-in micro pop filter that delivers decent audio without the unwanted background noise.
The pro-grade audio is top-notch. You have lots of options for customizing the sound to the game you’re playing or the music you’re enjoying with the Logitech Gaming Software. You can fine-tune your settings for sidetone, equalizer, and microphone levels to match your preferred settings with each game. And the surround sound brings the action up close and personal.
On the downside, the headset is probably just something you’d use strictly for gaming because of its size. However, it has a good range at 15 meters. But the kicker is a lack of a 3.5 mm audio jack so that you won’t be using this one for your phone. That fact alone could be a dealbreaker for some, considering the price.

SteelSeries Siberia 350 |

Recommendation
If your budget is hovering right around $100, the SteelSeries Siberia 350 gaming headset is a good option. It has 7.1 surround sound and noise-cancelling speakers. They also come in seven different colors as well, so you should be able to find a pair that fits your style.

THE BEST PC GAMING HEADSETS Under $100
If you have between $50 and $100 to spend on a gaming headset you are sitting in a really good range. No, these headsets aren’t among the elite, but for the price there are definitely some great choices in this price range.
The Kingston HyperX Cloud is probably the best price-to-performance headset in this price range (and maybe among all price ranges, too), and the Cloud II is a good option as well (the main difference being that it has 7.1 surround).
And, if you’re looking for a solid wireless gaming headset, the Corsair Gaming VOID is a great option for the price.
Overall, these headsets offer good performance for the price tag they carry and you won’t go wrong with any of them.

Kingston HyperX Cloud II |
|
/10 |
|
Recommendation
Another great option at right around ~$100 is the HyperX Cloud II gaming headset. The Cloud IIs are similar to the original Cloud headset, except that the IIs have 7.1 virtual surround sound. Overall, the Cloud IIs are one of the best headsets under $100.
TECH SPECS
| DRIVER | 53mm |
| FREQUENCY | 15Hz-20KHz |
| IMPEDANCE | 60 Ohms |
| AUDIO | 7.1 Virtual |

Kingston HyperX Cloud II
While on a price-to-performance basis the original HyperX Cloud might be the better buy, the Kingston HyperX Cloud IIs offer one important upgrade…
They will allow you to game in 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound.
Other than that, though, the two headsets are pretty similar. Both sport the same high-impedance 53mm hifi drivers and both have similar designs.
However, the downside is that the Cloud IIs come in at almost $30 more than the original Cloud headset. So, if you don’t mind paying a premium for the 7.1 surround sound and a little bit of an updated design, then these will worth considering.

Corsair VOID |
|
/10 |

TECH SPECS
| DRIVER | 50mm |
| FREQUENCY | 20Hz-20KHz |
| IMPEDANCE | 32 Ohms |

| NOISE CANCEL | Yes |
Corsair VOID
If you’re dead set on a wireless headset a better alternative to the HyperX Cloud II gaming headset is the Corsair Gaming VOID gaming headset.
While the Cloud IIs offer a more reliable wired connection, the Corsair VOID’s provide you with the versatility and convenience of being wireless.
The Corsair Gaming VOIDs also have RGB lighting and so can be customized to display any color you want.
And, with true multi-channel 7.1 audio, you’ll get amazing surround sound to enhance your in-game experience.
Ultimately, the Corsair Gaming VOID Gaming Headset is one of the best overall headsets under $100.

Kingston HyperX Cloud |

|
Recommendation
The Kingston HyperX Cloud gaming headset is one of the better value buys on the market. It comes in at under $80 and has 53mm hifi drivers that are capable of delivering a really high-quality listening experience. Ultimately, for the price, the Cloud headset is an excellent option if you have a moderate amount to spend.

The HyperX Cloud is such a popular headset that it has been trusted by many professional gamers and professional gaming organizations such as Team Liquid and SK-Gaming.
Ultimately, in the $100 price range, you might not find a better option than the HyperX Cloud headset—except for maybe its big brother, the HyperX Cloud II.

Logitech G930 |
|

|
Recommendation
Logitech’s G930 headset is another wireless option on the table if you have less than $100 to spend. Essentially, the G930s are the same headset as the G430 headset listed below, with the only difference being that the G930s are wireless. They aren’t quite as good as the VOIDS, but they are a worth checking out in case they go on sale.
TECH SPECS
| DRIVER | 40mm |
| FREQUENCY | 20Hz-20KHz |
| IMPEDANCE | 32 Ohms |

| NOISE CANCEL | Yes |
Logitech G930
If you’re looking at the specs and you’re wondering why the Logitech G930 costs more than the G430 you may have missed the fact that the G930 comes wireless.
Other than that fact, the G930 and G430 are fairly similar headsets.
However, you will have to pay a premium to go wireless as the G930s cost almost $40 more than the G430s.
But if you need a wireless gaming headset, the Logitech G930s are one of the best pairs under $100. Although, for just a little more you can land yourself the Corsair Gaming VOIDs, which are also wireless and have a little bit better specs.

THE BEST PC GAMING HEADSETS Under $50
The good news is that, while you won’t get a studio-quality gaming headset for under $50, there are still some options that will get the job done.
Of the options under $50, in my opinion the Logitech G430 is the best option.
Although, the Logitech G230 is a phenomenal choice for the price as well and the Creative Draco Hs880 and Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 are excellent for the money, too.
And, if you don’t have more than $30 to spend, even something like the GW SADES SA902 will serve as an entry-level gaming headset as well.
Ultimately, despite the fact that you are working with a tight budget, there should be enough options here for you to get a solid PC gaming headset. These are some of the best cheap gaming headsets currently available.

Perhaps the best budget-oriented option currently on the market is the Logitech G430. It has 40mm drivers, Dolby 7.1 surround sound, and it won’t cost you more than $40. All-in-all, the G430 is about as good of an option as you’re going to find in this price range.

If you are looking to spend less than $50, the Logitech G430 surround gaming headset is an excellent budget-friendly option.
For just under $40, you’ll get a headset that is capable of delivering Dolby 7.1 surround sound while gaming.
Other than that, the G430 has 40mm driver speakers, features a noise-cancelling microphone, and sports a light-weight and comfortable design.
All-in-all, if you have a tight budget and you don’t want to spend too much, then the Logitech G430 is probably the best cheap gaming headset currently on the market.

Creative Draco HS880 |
|
/10 |
|
Recommendation
The Creative Draco HS880 gaming headset is another decent sub-$50 option. However, unlike the Logitech G430, it lacks surround sound and so it won’t deliver quite as immersive of an experience. But, because you can remove the microphone and use them as a traditional headset, they do make sense for anyone who is looking for a more versatile option.
TECH SPECS
| DRIVER | 50mm |
| FREQUENCY | 20Hz-20KHz |

Creative Draco HS880
Creative’s Draco HS880 is another great sub-$50 option if you’re looking for an affordable PC gaming headset.
Spec-wise it’s similar to the other headsets listed in this price range. One cool feature that it has, though, is that it will allow you to remove the mic so that you can use it to listen to music, watch movies, or just a media headset in general.
The earpieces also swivel, which is nice for storage and convenience and most users have found them to be fairly comfortable.
Overall, the Draco HS880s are an excellent option if you are working with a tight budget and you need a solid headset for gaming.

Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 |
|
/10 |
|
Recommendation
Another decent gaming headset under $50 is the Turtle Beach Ear Force X12. They don’t come with surround sound, but they do have 50mm drivers, which is the largest offering in this price range. And, you can also use them on an XBOX as well, so they are a nice choice for anyone who also wants to use them for console gaming.
TECH SPECS
| DRIVER | 50mm |
| FREQUENCY | 20Hz-20KHz |

Turtle Beach Ear Force X12
For just a little more than the SADES SA902 and the Logitech G230 you can land yourself the Turtle Beach Ear Force X12s.
While they are marketed mainly for the XBOX they will work just fine on PCs as well.
And, whereas all of the other headsets in this price range have 40mm drivers, the X12s sport a little bit bigger 50mm drivers.
Obviously, this isn’t the best PC headset for gaming on the market, but for under $50 it will definitely deliver a quality experience.

 |
Logitech G230 |
|
/10 |
|
Recommendation
Logitech’s G230 gaming headset is a decent entry-level option. However, with the G430 dropping significantly in price, there really isn’t much reason to choose the G230 at its current price when the G430s are only a couple of bucks more. If they were to go on sale, though, they might again be worth looking at.

Logitech G230
Hey, not everyone can or wants to spend over $100 on a set of headphones. And that’s completely fine.
While you won’t come away with the greatest headset for gaming by spending under $50, that doesn’t mean you can’t get a solid set of headphones.
The Logitech G230 is the perfect budget headset for PC gamers. It won’t cost you an arm and a leg, it will deliver decent sound quality, and it will provide you with a mic so you can communicate with your buddies.
Again, this isn’t the best option on the market, but it will definitely get the job done if you are looking for something that just works.

Sades SA902 |

|
Recommendation
If you’re working with an extremely tight budget, one decent option you have is the Sades SA902 gaming headset. They’re under $30 and serve as a perfect entry-level set of headphones for anyone who just needs a cheap way to get decent-sounding audio and a mic to enhance their games.

Sades SA902
If you don’t have a huge budget and you’re just looking for an affordable pair of headphones that will get the job done, you might want to take a look at the GW SADES SA902.
This headset comes with a mic and the ability to run your audio in 7.1 channel stereo surround sound.
Although it has been noted by many reviewers that, due to a lack of drivers for Windows 10, the headset cannot run 7.1 surround on Windows 10 systems.
Ultimately, though, at under $30 the GW SADES headset is a good option if you just can’t (or don’t want to) spend a ton of money on your headset.
