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

Checked pretty much everything there is on the internet, but most posts are too old now. What I need the most is it to be wireless and preferably have Game/Chat mix. I’m planning to use in only for my PC (for PS5 I have been using Astro A50 gen 4 for 5 years, they are still fine, but I want something new and better + I’m tired to take them from my PC to PS5 every time, so I need one dedicated headset only for my PC).

So, out of all headsets here are my picks:

• Logitech G Pro X 2 (not sure about the sound, tried them, Cloud 3s sounds better IMO)

• Hyper X Cloud 3s (no game/chat mix and 3,5mm unfortunately)

• Astor A50X (there is no A50 gen 5 in my country and + I don’t want to have 2 almost the same headsets LOL)

• Razer BlackShark v3 pro (not a fan of Razer overall, but noise canceling sounds amazing)

• Arctis Nova Pro Wireless (heard that it has connection and cracking sound, same as I have on Arctis 7 back in a day)

I also had Audeze Maxwell and sold them, unbearably HEAVY, but sounded the best out of all BY FAR.

If you have any other recommendations, please, feel free to share.

For now I like Cloud 3s the most, probably. But lack of Game/Chat mix and 3,5 jack is what holds me back.

I also have HD6xx and I love them, but I hate wires when playing.

Hey r/buildapc,

I’m looking for recommendations on gaming headphones for 2025, preferably from Logitech to match my mouse and speakers. My budget is below SGD 200, so I’m hoping to find something affordable yet reliable.

I’m mostly into casual online gaming like GTA RP, so I’m looking for headphones with: • Decent sound quality • Comfortable for long sessions • A good microphone for in-game comms

What would you recommend within this budget? Or are there other brands I should consider for better value?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

My trusty gaming headset just gave out after years of intense sessions, and I’m in the market for a new one. I don’t need pro-level esports gear just something reliable, comfortable, and with great audio and a good mic. Bonus points for wireless connectivity, long battery life, and solid noise isolation.

Let’s say under $200, but I’m flexible if something is truly worth the extra cost.

I mostly play FPS, RPGs, and multiplayer games, so sound clarity, comfort, and mic quality matter most to me.

After some research, I’ve narrowed it down to a few popular options:

• SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless

• HyperX Cloud III Wireless

• Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023)

• Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed

This is part of my project to tinker with Reddit data and LLMs. Wanted to create something useful for the community while levelling up my coding chops.

The idea is to highlight which gaming headsets got the most love specifically in the context of first person shooters. To be clear, most love =/= best. But hopefully it’s a useful data point nonetheless, especially for those overwhelmed by the options.

Any surprising rankings?

If you want to dig into the raw data, you can do so on the project page (google “RedditRecs”).

Methodology in the comments.

I am looking for a gaming headset under 100 euros on amazon, it needs to have good audio quality, a good microphone and must NOT break after using it for a year or two. Any suggestions?
