Gaming Headphones

Whether you're a die-hard PC gamer or a console baby, the bleeps, bloops, and gunshots of your video games will eventually irritate the people you live with. You may already have a great pair of gaming headphones and a webcam with a mic to cover your multiplayer needs, but it's sometimes convenient to have everything in one place. That’s where the gaming headphones with mic come in.

The best gaming headphones provide an easy, all-in-one solution to your game audio needs, typically including a microphone, decent sound, and long cords to accommodate virtually any gaming setup. 

The best gaming headphones must compete on a variety of fronts, including sound quality, connectivity, comfort, price, clarity of directional audio, coolness of RGB lighting that the wearer will never see—and so on. That's what they're tested on, too, and it's because of this that we can confidently say the *gaming headphones* are worth your money.

The wireless gaming headphones are a little more expensive, so if you want to go wireless and have the extra cash, we recommend that you do so. 

For a gaming setup, the best wireless gaming headphones include plush earcups, on-ear volume controls, and a sturdy boom mic. They include an excellent base station that provides a low latency wireless connection, which is ideal for gaming. 

Their default sound profile is well-balanced and adds a little extra boom to help bring out sound effects in action-packed games. If you prefer a different sound, the Astro Command Center software includes a graphic EQ and presets that can be customized. Their boom mic produces a full-bodied and natural sound, and it has an impressive noise handling performance, so your teammates can hear you clearly even if you're gaming in a noisy environment. Granted, at higher volumes, the sound in budget headsets can become distorted, but this is a very minor complaint. It is comfortable to wear for long periods of time and can be used with any system that has a gaming headphone jack.
