Gaming Headsets

Large selection of Gaming Headsets

Here on the page, you can find our complete range of headsets suitable for gaming.

A gaming headset focuses heavily on both good sound regarding the sound in the games themselves, but also that the headset has a microphone so you can communicate with your teammates.

Gaming headsets come in an incredible variety of price ranges, where the quality reflects this.

Some headsets come with surround sound, while others have a smaller sound.

No matter which type of headset you prefer for gaming, we undoubtedly have a good solution for you.

If you are a bit unsure about what to look for when buying a gaming headset, read on in the section below.

10 things to consider before choosing a Gaming Headset

Before you buy a gaming headset, it is important that you do as much as possible to choose the headset that best meets your needs.

To help you on your way, we have highlighted some points below that you can benefit from considering before you actually purchase your headset.

#1 - Gaming headset with microphone

A headset has a microphone, but this comes in various types and qualities.

Gaming headsets often have a microphone that sits on the side of the headset and can be bent or tilted in front of your mouth, so there is clear sound coming through.

Some have an adjustable microphone that you can tuck away when not in use, while others have a microphone that stays in the same position all the time.

The vast majority of gaming headsets have a microphone, but not all have the clever feature called “hidden microphone”.

As the name suggests, this feature allows the microphone in your gaming headset to be pulled out from a hidden storage compartment and used immediately.

Once you are finished using your headset, you can simply push the microphone back into the hidden state.

This creates both a very sleek and stylish headset but is also ingenious for protecting the microphone from bumps, dust, and dirt.

#2 - Gaming headset with Surround Sound

In many games, good sound is important, but something that is almost even more important is to hear the direction the sound is coming from.

This is particularly true for shooting games, where sound direction can mean everything for winning, such as shooting games, also known as “FPS” games.

That is why many choose a gaming headset with at least 7.1 surround sound.

Virtual surround sound uses special software to simulate real surround sound in your headset, which is almost 1:1 like regular surround sound that uses a long range of speakers.

With surround sound, you can hear exactly where the different sounds come from, and you also get amazing sound quality for listening to music, for example.

#3 - Gaming headset with USB or mini-jack connection

A wired gaming headset often uses 1 or 2 different connection options:

• 3.5 mm mini jack plug
• USB plug

The mini jack plug has been used for many years and remains a popular choice when sound devices need to be connected to the computer, gaming console, or even the stereo system.

USB is also a fantastic option, which has become increasingly popular.

USB can indeed be used to transfer sound to the headset, but can also be used to charge wireless headsets.

Many today choose the USB variant of gaming headphones, as it is considered to be more efficient than the old 3.5 jack plug and has several options with it.

#4 - Wireless/Bluetooth Gaming Headset

Wireless variants of gaming headsets have recently become incredibly popular.

If you choose this type of gaming headset, you can avoid cables lying around on the table and get a more neat gaming setup.

Wireless gaming headsets can typically be connected via Bluetooth or via a USB dongle that you plug into your computer/console and then connect to.

#5 - Active Noise Cancellation/ANC Gaming Headset

Active noise cancellation, also known as ANC, is one of the smartest features in newer headsets that can take your gaming experience to the next level.

ANC can remove all the noise around you so you can only hear what is happening in your games.

It provides a fantastic and complete experience, but also gives you a more effective way to focus 100% on your games, and perhaps even achieve even higher skills.

ANC can typically be turned on and off as you wish, if you do not always want to block out ALL noise when you use your headset.

#6 - Gaming headset with RGB lighting

Lighting in a gaming headset obviously does nothing for the sound but is rather a way to personalize the appearance of your headset.

Many gaming headsets with RGB lighting allow you to program the light exactly as you want it.

This is typically done through specific software, where you can design the light to be certain colors or changing/flashing colors in different patterns.

This way, you get a more unique headset that gives your gaming setup a bit more soul and a personal touch.

#7 - Gaming headset for PS5/XBOX or PC

When choosing a headset, it is important to consider which platform you will use it for.

This is especially true for various gaming consoles, such as PS5 or XBOX, where there may not be a great option for connecting a headset with mini jack directly to the console.

However, the new consoles are so smart that they have access to a jack socket in the controller, allowing you to easily connect a wired headset without having to run it the whole way from your PlayStation/XBOX or other console.

It is possible to connect headsets with mini jack directly to the console, but it may require an adapter, just as wireless headsets may require a Bluetooth dongle to function with gaming consoles.

For PC, all types of headsets work, although selected laptops may be the exception, as some manufacturers have chosen to phase out the mini jack socket in their computers.

Fortunately, very few modern headsets have mini jack plugs and instead use USB, which every computer has ports for.

#8 - Comfort and design in your gaming headset

Comfort is extremely important when we talk about headsets, as the wrong comfort can make the headset nearly unusable for you.

Preferences regarding comfort are not the same for everyone and depend a lot on personal taste, head size, etc.

In addition, there are gaming headsets with different “ear cushions” that are typically made either of fake leather or soft fabric.

It is entirely up to you what you prefer, but if you have a larger head, it may be a clear advantage to choose an adjustable headset so you can adjust it to the exact size you need.

#9 - Durability in gaming headsets

Depending on the type, and often also the brand your headset originates from, there are several different types of durability you can choose between.

Typically, this is reflected in the price, where the cheaper headsets are a bit less robust than the more expensive variants.

You can, however, find headsets that have a good balance between price and durability, where especially brands like Logitech have had a good reputation as their headsets are incredibly robust and not at the very high end of the scale in terms of price in most cases.

Durability is ensured not only through good materials but also through the design of the headset itself and how robust it is.

Additionally, you can also experience that your headset lasts longer if you handle it a bit more carefully.

This means, for example, making use of a holder, avoiding dropping or throwing the headset, and ensuring that it is clean, and not least keeping it away from water and other liquids, so it does not get damaged.

Water resistance

Not all gaming headsets are completely waterproof, but many have a small degree of water resistance that ensures that as much water as possible is kept out.

This means that even if you accidentally spill a little on the headset or drop it in something wet, it will not necessarily be damaged, so it breaks completely.

However, it is never a good idea to let the headset be close to water and other liquids, so even if your headset is very water-resistant, you should still be careful to keep it away from liquid.

#10 - Sound quality (Frequency response, etc.) in Gaming headsets

The actual sound quality in your gaming headset is important for the complete experience.

When discussing sound quality in headsets, it can almost be directly compared with frequency response, which is measured in Hz or kHz.

Here, it is important to aim for a headset that has a wide response so it can capture sounds from the entire spectrum.

Look for a headset with a minimum of 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response to get the best experience.

This wide range of frequencies ensures that you get fantastic sound quality that is as lifelike as possible when gaming various games.

The low end of the scale, thus 20 Hz, is for the deep “bass tones”, while the high end, 20 kHz, is for the bright tones, such as birds chirping or “whistle sounds,” etc.

Stand for gaming Headset

In addition to a wide range of gaming headsets, you will also find smart stands to hold your headset when it is not in use on this selection page.

These stands can help provide a nice and effective setup for your gamer setup at home.

When you have a stand for your headset, you always know where it is, but you also get a more “clean” look in your gaming setup, where things are neatly organized.

The stands come in a variety of designs and typically in neutral colors such as black, white, or metallic colors.

Some headsets come with a matching stand, but most require you to purchase the stand separately.

Some stands also allow for charging if you have a wireless headset that needs power often.

Frequently asked questions about Gaming Headset

How do I connect a headset to PS4/PS5?

A wired headset can be connected to your gaming console by simply inserting it into an available USB port. If you have a Bluetooth headset, it is not possible to connect it directly to your PlayStation without additional tools. Here, you need to use a Bluetooth dongle, which you plug into one of the console's USB outputs, after which you can wirelessly connect to this dongle with your Bluetooth Gaming Headset.

How do I get sound in my headset?

If you find that there is no sound coming from your headset, you should first check the connection between your headset and your device. If it is wired, check the wire itself and whether it is properly connected, while for a wireless variant, you should check whether your device has picked up the signal. You should also go to your audio settings and ensure that your headset is selected as the primary audio device.
