As above, can someone recommend the best one available today purely for gaming? I wanted a Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless but am left confused due to the mostly negative posts about it here on Reddit but positive reviews about it on YT. I wanted a Logitech headset to match all my other peripherals that will be from them too but the price and Reddit posts are putting me off.

Ideally want a slightly cheaper (but good quality) one around £150. I know the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is pretty good as well as the Audeze Maxwell but those are much more expensive.

After some research, the three less pricey ones I get are the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) and V2 Hyperspeed as well as the HyperX Cloud Alpha. Anyone here use these?

Are Logitech's Astro series any good? Or any other Logi headset that's better than the G Pro X 2?

Thanks in advance for the advice/comments.

hey does anyone got a recommendations for a great headset for gaming and music that is around $100 to around $150 or some range like it (even if it goes up to $170)

because im looking for a great headset that would do great for gaming and music, im most concerned about sound over anything i can care less of feeling the bass, im no audio expert by anymeans, i just care about how good the sound is. i also want the headset to have a wireless connection, the USB dongle type.

i been looking at videos and such and i cant really decide which, i been sorta eyeing the SteelSeries New Arctis Nova 7, but i been hearing mixed opinions and so, idk about them, i currently have the Hyperx Cloud 2 wireless, its pretty good but i do like collecting.

so if you know of any great headsets that i should consider, do tell, hopefully amazon sells them too.

I'm looking to make a significant upgrade over my thoroughly mediocre Razer Barracuda X wireless gaming headset — specifically with regards to audio fidelity.

Maybe it's wishful thinking, but what I'm hoping to find is one unit that combines the sound quality of studio-grade headphones that would be satisfactory for the likes of an audiophile and/or adequate for professional video/audio production work, with the practical features and functionality of a gaming headset — or at the very least just the addition of a microphone — so that I can use them in that capacity as well.

I have not had much luck searching for guidance online. There doesn't seem to be any real consensus or a clear "go-to" product offering even for people who are prepared to just throw money at the issue.

Wireless is a must for me for the ability to get up from my desk and walk around without losing my audio feed throughout my work day or during long conference calls and webinars. I'd prefer 2.4ghz wireless as opposed to Bluetooth for the low latency while gaming, although it would be nice to have the option of Bluetooth as well just for wide compatibility with devices other than my PC. A generous battery life would also be a big plus (so I'm not losing power in the middle of a call or a match just because I haven't charged them in the past 12 hours), as would an on-unit mic mute button for the and/or a flip-to-mute microphone arm. All-day comfort is a also must, so a relatively light-weight, good ergonomics and high quality padding / ear cups are all big value adds for my needs.

I've taken at the Hyper X Cloud Alpha Wireless headset that's currently on sale at $150 for Amazon Prime Day, which seems to be loved by gamers everywhere, but while they would surely offer much better audio quality than my current headset, reviews on their sound quality are mixed, and I hate that it is only offered with one color option with its garish anodized bright red accents — not a good look on work-related video calls, and also don't match the rest of my setup. I'd much prefer something that looks and feels vaguely professional in straight black.

I also found the JBL Quantum 910 Wireless headset which is currently on sale at the same price point of $150, but doesn't look like they have fantastic build quality, and I'm again finding mixed reviews on their audio quality. Their integrated microphone also seems to be of very poor quality.

I've also looked into several Sennheiser headsets marketed to the gamer niche because I've been a fan of theirs after having been thoroughly satisfied with several other pairs of their headsets/headphones I've owned in the past, although a lot of the customer reviews seem to indicate that they're not even true Sennheiser products and that they've just licensed their brand name to another company to slap it on a family of middling-quality units in order to sell them at a premium price.

I figure that if I'm going to be spending at least $150 even for a decent headset with several apparent trade-offs in quality and feature set, I may as well adopt a "buy once, cry once" mentality on this purchase and go ahead and look into the even higher price range offerings to see if I can find something that will truly impress.

So what are some of y'alls picks for the absolute best wireless gaming headsets out there, that would make an audiophile blush, at any price range?

Edit: Updated to add purchase advice suggested details
Edit 2: Solved!

Main points:

• Wireless

• Low latency

• Sounds great for music

• Mic not needed

• Only needs to be PC compatible

• Close to or less than £300/GBP

• Nice to have - charging dock

What **aspect of your current listening experience would you like to improve?**My main issue with the Sony WH-1000XM3s are audio latency and I hoped for audio to be a bit more punchy when wireless as that is my primary use of them.

Budget

~£300/GBP

How the gear will be used

At desk only, a lot of usage >12 hours on most days. I look after my gear so expect minimally bumps.

Preferred tonal balance

I'm not all that sure really, I'm not much of an audiophile, but I like bass but the mids and highs to be clear as well. I guess that makes it tonally balanced with a slight bass bias?

Preferred music genre(s)
Trance - classics to hard and psy, DnB, house, glitch, a mixture of other EDM genres, metal, sometimes just piano and rarely pop stuff.

Past gear experience

I used to use cheapo earphones, those were tinny and horrid. Got some SoundMagic E50 earphones for a while, those were better, but still not great. Eventually got HyperX Cloud Gaming headphones for gaming about 5 years ago and they served me well, I still have them! The audio seemed great on the HyperX headset, quite liked them but they lacked bass. Around Sept 2018 I got the Sony WH-1000XM3s for commuting to work, then eventually started using them on my PC as my daily driver because the wireless is really convenient, the bass is good when connected with the 3.5mm jack, but I want to stay wireless where possible. I still feel even when wireless, the bass is better on the Sony headphones than the HyperX ones I was using, though I feel the higher frequencies were more clearer on the HyperX compared to the Sony one on wireless.

I found ASTRO A50s, they seem to have alright reviews on YouTube and other sites like RTINGS, but then you find the Reddit posts of users having issues with them and some say the sound quality isn't that great 😕

Would love to get some recommendations!

Hey r/HeadphoneAdvice people, my current headset is straight-up garbage: constant disconnects, mic quality is awful, and the battery barely lasts. Been dealing with this for too long, so I’m finally upgrading. Looking for a wireless headset with solid audio, a clear mic, and good battery life that won’t die mid-session. Comfort is a big (I mean huge - as I wear glasses) deal too since I game for hours, and I don’t want something that crushes my head.

UPDATE: I got this one as it was the best one I found with top reviews for 2025.

I’m in the USA and looking to spend $150–$300, but I’ll stretch a bit if something’s truly worth it. Mostly using it for PC and PS5, so compatibility needs to be solid.

Sound-wise, I want good bass for immersion but not overpowering, plus a clear soundstage for FPS games. I also need a decent mic for voice chat, nothing crazy, just something that doesn’t make me sound like I’m in a tunnel.

Had a few headsets in the past, and I always run into the same issues: bad mic quality, weak battery life, or they just feel uncomfortable after a few hours.

Anyone got a go-to recommendation for 2025? What’s holding up well for you? I searched online and found a few, anyone using these?

1. Audeze Maxwell Wireless

2. Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless

3. Razer Barracuda Pro Wireless

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using for gaming/listening to music my 3y/o Logitech G Pro X Wireless. Recently i got into high res audio etc and i was researching some good audio quality headsets. I mainly play videogames but i also listen to music a lot and i would like them to be able to play some 24bit 96khz files wirelessly.

My requisites are:

Wireless 2.4ghz no bluetooth (if it has both is good but i don't care about bluetooth)

Can play 24bit 96khz audio wirelessly (if it has lower sample rate wirelessly but with the cable i'm able to raise it it's fine)

Low latency for gaming

Built in microphone not required but it's better with it

I looked up for some headsets and these are the models that came up that i think are good:

Logitech G Pro X Wireless 2 (only because they are the same as the ones that i have at the moment, i know that the audio quality is far inferior)

Beyerdynamics MMX200 Wireless (they are the best pick over all for me but i don't know if they can do high res audio)

Creative Zen Hybrid PRO SXFI (someone mentioned that they can do 24bit 96khz playback but i don't really know them)

Audeze Maxwell (i don't really know them but everybody say that are really good)

Hey! Looking to switch from my Arctis 7 to a new headset. I'd like something which fits both for gaming but also has nice fitting audio for listening to music. Any recommendations?

I haven't seen anybody ask or talk about this but I'm looking to upgrade my wireless gaming headset. I currently use the arctis 7, but the thing is I have no need for a microphone because I use a stand alone. My budgets around $500/800AUD. I just don't know if I should invest in a proper audio headphones rather than some 'gaming headset'

Something that doesn't cost more than 200$ max, I've seen Steelseries Arctis Nova 7 and HyperCloud II but I can't decide.

If you have good recommendations, please tell me.

Hi! I'm looking for the best, preferably wireless, headsets or headphones for gaming (mainly Rainbow Six; I need to hear footsteps and all that jazz) and music production. I have a budget of $300 USD and will be using them with both my Xbox and PC, primarily at home. While I'm not sure how much isolation I need, I don’t plan to use them in public, so it’s not a big concern. I prefer on-ear headphones and value wireless functionality, although it would be great if they could also switch to wired for music production when needed.

For reference, I’ve used the Razer BlackShark V2 X (wired) and Turtle Beach Gen 600 Xbox (wireless). I preferred the wireless convenience of the Turtle Beach but found the Razer excelled more in music production. I’m not entirely sure about my tonal balance preference, but I’m hoping for something versatile that works well for both gaming audio (especially footsteps and detailed sounds) and accurate music production. I use a RODE NT-USB+ as a separate mic, so I don’t need a built-in mic, though I wouldn’t mind having one if necessary.

Currently, I’m considering the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and the Audeze Maxwell, but I’ve seen mixed reviews regarding their performance for both gaming and music production. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've had my fair share of both bad and 'great' wireless headsets for gaming over the past few years, so I switched back to a wired headset and have been using the DT900 Pro X since October. However, I really wanted to return to a wireless option, so I bought an Astro A50X. The sound quality is great, the base station functionalities are impressive, and most importantly, the mic quality is perfect. Unfortunately, I received a defective unit and the replacement also turned out to be defective (a buzzing noise in a $400 headset makes me hope it's just a faulty unit...).

So here's my question: What would be the best wireless headset for gaming money can buy? I'm looking for a headset that has at least a day of battery life, more than decent mic quality (since wireless headsets and their mics can be problematic), a base station for charging would be great, obviously good sound quality, and reliable software that doesn’t frequently bug out, among other features

Please, if anyone has any great recommendations, I beg you, share them. I can't stand having a wireless headset that costs so much yet delivers so little!

I know for a long time, everyone used to say you need a wired mouse to play competitive games, however, in recent years, wireless mouses are good enough, right?

I am guessing the same must be true of wireless headsets without any kind of lag. At least I hope so.

My requirements:

• lift mic to mute.

• low-latency wireless.

• good sound quality in both games and music.

• good mic quality.

• good construction quality (not cheap plastic that breaks after a year).

• driver software that doesn't suck. (i.e. not razer or elgato/corsair), or better yet work with no software.

• around ~150 EUR

After lots of reading of lots of comments I've come to the conclusion they don't exist. I'm really hoping someone here can tell me otherwise.

My previous headphones were the Logitech G Pro Wireless, but the mic died in the end, rendering them useless. also there were issues with the mute button becoming intermittent which I serviced and made work again.

When they died I switched to a spare pair of Razer Barracua Wireless headphones and the sound quality was utterly terrible, I found them hissy, mushy.

I also had some Corsair headphones, but the plastic cracked and broke after a year or so on them.

The Logictech G Pro were terrible for listening to music, but were OK for gaming, I wasn't impressed by them at all. My old Sony MDR-V700 which are over 25 years old sound better to me which I still use on my electronic drum kit.

Turtle beach used to be good, but these days reddit is full of comments saying the quality is bad and not to waste your money.

Astro used to be good before Logitech bought them, apparently they're now overpriced and not as well made.

There's some Hyper X ones, but all reviews say they have bad mics.

What options are there?

had a turtle beach 600 stealth before, right now i am having a steelseries artic pro wireless.

was satisfied with both.

any recommendations for gaming and streaming?

my budget 150-300 i want your advice what to buy astro a50 or steelseries or razer or any other options

Before every audiophile responds; yes, I know, gaming headsets suck compared to good wired headphones. That's why I have a pair of Epos PC38xs on my desk. They're what I use for work and serious games. But a lot of the time I just want to sit on the couch with a controller and play some Red Dead while talking to the boys in discord.

I have a pair of Logitech G935s right now but something in the software/firmware is a buggy mess causing the mic the constantly drop out in discord, apparently many people report similar issues and none of the fixes I have tried have worked. At this point I think I just need a different headset. I don't care about a million flashy features, LEDs, hotkeys, etc. I just want something simple and reliable. As long as I can somehow quickly mute the mic when I need to sneeze or something and the audio sounds passable I'll be happy.

I know gaming headsets are usually awful, so I don't know what to get.

I've had Razer headsets and they have terrible build quality. I've had ROG headsets and they have horrible, slowed down bloatware.

The issue is that these gaming headsets were really pleasing to my eye, and since I'm a closed back headphones RGB bass heavy gamer headset enjoyer, it's a bit hard to figure out where to go from here on finding a good headset.

I prefer wired connection as wired usually sounds better. I have never tried an open back headset, and I am sorta interested, but I also really like the feeling of being closed off from the world. However, I am also an audiophile and I'm all about getting the best sounds in the world.

I really like my headsets to be mostly, if not fully black. If I really need to and its not too complicated, I will repaint them.

I'm sorry for the generic "what game headset good??" question, but I genuinely am at a loss of where to go from here.
