Video Game Headsets: Take Gaming to the Next Level

Whether you're a professional gamer or a casual player, anyone can benefit from a pair of gaming headphones. Video game headsets are designed to offer rich, clear sound that picks up on details that might not normally come through the speakers on your TV or computer, such as your opponent's footsteps behind you. Some even offer surround sound technology for truly immersive gaming. Headsets with directional mics are great for streamers who want to narrate gameplay or converse with their viewers or for gamers who play with a team; having your mic built in means you don't have to research and purchase a separate device. Even non-gamers can benefit from one of these headsets. The comfort-fit design and immersive sound quality also make them great for movies or TV shows with plenty of action, whether you're watching explosions or a spy sneaking up on their target. Everyone can reap the benefits of active noise cancelling (ANC) technology; whether you're about to win a gaming tournament or just want some peace and quiet while you study, gaming headphones with noise cancellation make whatever you're doing more enjoyable. These quality headphones are also great for remote workers, especially during video meetings with your department or an important client. Depending on which option you choose, wireless gaming headsets offer up to 24 hours of battery life so you can work, play and commute with your favorite media close by. Even better, our game headsets come in an array of shades from classic black to neon green so you can match your headset to the rest of your gaming equipment or choose your favorite color.

Choosing Your Video Gaming Headset

Gaming headsets have their own pros and cons so it's important to think of what you'll be using yours for before purchasing. Professional versus casual gamers will likely have different demands, for example. One of the biggest considerations is the wire. While many brands are offering wireless models, there are still wired headphones on the market. Wires can be distracting or uncomfortable while playing for long stretches of time, which can affect gameplay. Wireless headphones typically connect to devices via Bluetooth for simple setup. On the other hand, wired headphones don't require batteries or charging so you won't be surprised by a dead headset when you're trying to log on. Wireless headphones give you the flexibility to move around while you play whether you're jumping out of your seat with excitement or just grabbing something to drink. If comfort is a factor, be sure to look for over-ear models with a padded headband to keep you comfortable over hours of play. Compatibility is another factor to consider to be sure to check that the cool pair you have your eye on works with your console. With offerings from top rated brands in the gaming and audio industries, we're sure you'll find the perfect pair.
