Come and discover together what are the main characteristics that you should consider when buying them and which are the most important, based on the use you want to make.

1. Sound Quality

The heart of every headset, gaming or not, is its sound quality.

Frequency response: Shows the range of sounds the headset can reproduce (the most common range is 20 - 20000 Hz).

Sensitivity: Measured in dB. The higher it is, the louder they will sound. Options with 90 dB or higher are excellent.

Drivers: The "speakers" inside the headset. The larger they are (e.g. 40mm or 50mm and above), the clearer the sound and the more distinct the details (such as opponents' footsteps).

2. Comfort, fit and materials

Since a gaming session can last for hours, comfort is everything. Pay attention to the weight (the lighter, the better) as well as the ear pads: leatherette offers excellent sound isolation but may make you sweat, while fabric "breathes" much better.
Gaming headsets are divided into 3 main types:

Over Ear: With large cups that "hug" the entire ear. They isolate external noise perfectly and are the most popular choice.

In Ear: Small and discreet (like those of mobile phones). If you find the right size for their ear tips, they won’t move at all. They are now the top choice of many professional esports players because they are ultra-light!

On Ear: With smaller cups that sit on the ear. They are lighter than Over Ear, but they do not fully isolate the environment.

3. Microphone features and quality

Detachable microphone: So you can remove it or hide it when you just want to listen to music.

Mute button: Mute is a lifesaver for privacy. Sidetone lets you hear your own voice slightly in the headset, so you don’t end up... shouting at night without realizing it!

Foldable: The microphone folds into the headset body when you don’t want to use it.

Do you play with other people? Then choose a gaming headset with top-quality microphone as well. Prefer one with a noise-canceling microphone. Voice clarity will ensure seamless communication & collaboration with your teammates.

4. Console Compatibility (NEW) 

Not all headsets work with all devices! 

If you play on PC, most of them (USB or wireless) will work perfectly. But if you play on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S, you should always check whether the headset states that it is compatible with the specific console (especially for Xbox, which has its own wireless technology). Headsets with a simple 3.5mm jack usually work everywhere, plugging into the controller.

5. Connectivity

Wired headsets offer reliable, high-quality sound, since you can be more confident there won’t be any audio delay. Depending on what suits you best, there are headsets with a 3.5mm jack or USB.

Wireless ones, on the other hand, provide greater freedom of movement, but you must always remember to charge them. You can find wireless models with Bluetooth connectivity.

6. Surround Sound 

For an enhanced gaming experience, look for headsets with surround sound technology, which can provide an immersive sense of depth and full sound.

7. Battery Life (wireless headsets)

If you’ve decided to get a wireless gaming headset, check the battery life. Do you want to run out of battery in the middle of a battle? Probably not. So make the right choice!

‘’Every now and then’’

If you are a casual gamer and simply enjoy gaming when the conditions are right, choose wired headphones to make sure there is no audio delay. If they suit you, you can choose in-ear headphones that take up less space, are usually more affordable, and you can have them with you everywhere! 

‘’All day, every day’’

If you are a pro gamer and gaming is now part of your daily routine, it's time to invest in pro headphones. Choose wireless Over Ear headphones that can also be connected wired, with surround sound, to fully enjoy every gaming session. Prefer a microphone that isolates external noise for seamless communication with teammates, wherever you are.

Appearance matters! And for something you will wear daily, you want it to stand out. That's why choose headphones with RGB lighting.
