How to choose these headsets?"},"content":{"rendered":"

The best wireless gaming headsets<\/strong> run the gamut from cheap to expensive, and from versatile to specialized. The one thing they all have in common is that they\u2019re absolutely excellent, whether you want to immerse yourself in a single-player adventure or dominate the multiplayer scene. Here we introduce the best wireless gaming headsets<\/strong> for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n

What are the best wireless gaming headsets?<\/h2>\n

If you want one of the best wireless gaming headset<\/strong>, the SteelSeries Arctis 7P\/7X is the easiest all-around recommendation right now. This update of the similarly excellent SteelSeries Arctis 7 is compatible with just about every system on the market, from PC to consoles to mobile devices, all via a handy USB-C dongle. The sound quality is good for both gaming and music, and the battery life will last you through at least three marathon sessions, or a dozen smaller ones.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, the best wireless gaming headset<\/strong> very much depends on what systems you own. The Logitech G Pro X or the Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero are optimized for PC, whereas the Razer Kaira Pro or the Xbox Wireless Headset work best with Xbox consoles. The Logitech G733 is incredibly stylish, while the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless<\/strong> is a more affordable option. Just be warned that while each of these headsets is excellent in its own way, there\u2019s no such thing as a \u201cperfect\u201d peripheral. The best you can do is weigh the various pros and cons of each model, and decide which features are most valuable to you and your setup, personally.<\/p>\n

One helpful hint to keep in mind is that PC and PS5 use the same wireless protocol; Xbox consoles<\/strong> require a different one; the Switch is a bit of a wild card, especially in handheld mode.<\/p>\n

Top 5 – Best Wireless Gaming Headsets (2022)<\/h3>\n

The most important thing to look for in the best wireless gaming headset<\/strong> is battery life. Most devices have an expected battery life, or the number of hours the company says the device can last on a charge. Most wireless earbuds are rated for 5 to 8 hours, while Bluetooth headphones can last about 25 hours or higher.<\/p>\n

Another important factor is design \u2014 depending on how you like to wear them, you may want to go with on-ear, over-ear or an in-ear wireless gaming headset.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not forget accessories of the best wireless gaming headset<\/strong>. Should you want to purchase wireless headphones, look at the bundled accessories listed on the packaging. On your radar should be an aux cable, carry case, charging cable, and a user guide.<\/p>\n

SteelSeries Arctis 7+ Wireless<\/h4>\n

If you’re looking for more customizable wireless gaming headset<\/strong>, check out the SteelSeries Arctis 7+ Wireless. While they’re more prone to inconsistencies in audio delivery than the Astro A50 Gen 4 Wireless 2019, they have a wide array of features via their companion app to help you adjust their performance to your liking.<\/p>\n

They’re compatible with Sonar, which is beta software that offers a parametric EQ and presets, as well as noise gates, volume stabilizers, and impact noise reduction levels for both chat mixing and microphone control. You can access their 7.1 virtual surround feature for a more immersive audio experience. Out of the box, they have a boomy sound profile, while their mic offers decent performance. They also feel well-built, comfortable, and have low latency.<\/p>\n

SteelSeries Arctis 7X Wireless<\/h4>\n

If you like to game on the Xbox Series X|S or One<\/strong>, the best wireless headset that we’ve tested for the Xbox Series X<\/strong> is the SteelSeries Arctis 7X Wireless. These comfortable headphones support Xbox Wireless<\/strong>, which is a proprietary technology designed specifically for these consoles. They come with a USB dongle that provides a low-latency connection. Their battery also provides more than 24 hours of continuous battery life, so you don’t need to worry about your wireless gaming headset <\/strong>dying during long gaming sessions.<\/p>\n

They have a punchy, boomy default sound profile that brings out sound effects like footsteps and explosions in games. If you prefer a different sound, you can customize them with a graphic EQ and presets in their companion app. They have a closed-back design but still create an out-of-head passive soundstage, which can help make your gameplay seem more immersive. Their boom mic makes your voice sound clear and full-bodied and does a decent job separating it from ambient sound.<\/p>\n

Razer Blackshark V2 Pro<\/h4>\n

The wired Razer BlackShark V2<\/strong> is our favorite gaming headset and the wireless ‘Pro’ version takes all of the best bits from those excellent headphones and snips off the cable. It was previously sat in the number two spot mainly because the Cloud II Wireless<\/strong> was a slightly better-value alternative, but given the fact that they’re both regularly discounted down to the same price I’ve got to give it to the Razer set.<\/p>\n

The BlackShark V2 Pro is still the wireless gaming headset<\/strong> we use on a daily basis, despite the fact I’ve got $400 and $1,300 planar magnetic headphones, both over and in-ear, in my kit cupboard. Largely that’s because of the freedom of wireless connectivity, but also because the audio experience is as good as any dedicated wireless gaming headset<\/strong> is able to offer.<\/p>\n

HyperX Cloud II Wireless<\/h4>\n

The original HyperX Cloud<\/strong> is one of my favorite ever wireless gaming headset<\/strong>. Building on the basic QPad design, and introducing its own flair and flat EQ over time, they mixed affordability and audio to a level that few could match. It wasn’t really until HyperX released its own Cloud Alpha headset that a true successor was created, though Razer has now seen the wisdom in its ways, and launched a direct assault with its own BlackShark V2 range.<\/p>\n

It may seem odd that HyperX<\/strong> has now released the Cloud II as a wireless gaming headset<\/strong>, long after the Cloud Alpha took the wired crown, but bearing the fruits of the HyperX Cloud’s long legacy of excellence, the Cloud IIs present excellent sound and build quality with the essential features done well and no feature-flab inflating the price.<\/p>\n

Logitech G Pro Wireless<\/h4>\n

You\u2019ve probably heard of Shroud, right? Former CS: GO professional? One of the biggest streamers on earth? Well, the G Pro X Wireless<\/strong> has been his headset for a long time now. To be exact, he even uses his own edition\u2014the Shroud X Logitech G<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth mentioning that this headset is also used by other gaming celebs like pro League of Legends player Caps. He uses the G Pro X though, and that one belongs to the best wired gaming headphones<\/strong> category.<\/p>\n

But even if you\u2019re not a fan of these pro gamers, the G Pro X Wireless<\/strong> is a heavy marketer of itself. It\u2019s not like it needs a partnership with a leading streamer to promote itself, though it certainly helps.<\/p>\n

Starting with the design, the G Pro X Wireless<\/strong> is comfortable, with just the right clamping force, a flexible headband, and cozy ear cushions. Even though its steel hinges can adapt from one consumer to the next, it doesn\u2019t make that annoying creaking sound you\u2019ll surely hear in low-end wireless gaming headset<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
