Good decision. The right gaming headset can deepen your immersion and help you feel closer to the people you play with. Picking one is admittedly a tough choice, with so many models to choose from with lists of features that raise more questions than they answer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-gaming-headset-blog-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Ultimate Gaming Headset Guide\" class=\"wp-image-12637\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-gaming-headset-blog-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-gaming-headset-blog-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-gaming-headset-blog-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-gaming-headset-blog-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-gaming-headset-blog-580x580.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-gaming-headset-blog.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Ultimate Gaming Headset Guide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, you need to decide if you want a gaming headset or gaming headphones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gaming headphones<\/strong> are traditionally used for listening to music but possess awesome audio quality for your gaming needs. They do not, however, come with a built-in microphone, so it can lead to a higher initial investment if you want to buy a dedicated mic separately. Headphones are worth it when playing games where accurate sound cues are critical to success, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-get-more-fps-in-fortnite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fortnite<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/top-pcs-to-play-apex-legends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apex Legends<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gaming headsets<\/strong> are an all-in-one solution, featuring a mic that is either detachable or retractable and other features specifically designed to enhance your gaming experience. This can include comfortable ear cups, virtual surround sound, and certification for use with programs such as Discord.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, you need to pick the one which will suit you. We have come up with what we feel are the five most important factors in figuring that out. They are: <strong>build<\/strong>, <strong>connectivity<\/strong>,<strong> audio quality<\/strong>, <strong>communication<\/strong>, and <strong>compatibility<\/strong>. Follow us through this guide as we cover each of these in turn. By the end, you\u2019ll know exactly what you want in your gaming headset.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-headset-1024x576.png\" alt=\"White headset on pink background\" class=\"wp-image-42416\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-headset-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-headset-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-headset-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-headset-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-headset.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider Your Gaming Headset&#8217;s Build Quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With build quality, we\u2019re referring to both the durability and comfort of your headset. This means making sure everything from the headband to the ear cups is made of quality material that can stand up to the long hours of gaming you\u2019ll be putting it through. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For headbands, all-metal arc structures or wireframes will serve you better than even high-quality plastic. Lightweight materials are preferable as they are more comfortable to wear over prolonged periods. It\u2019s also less taxing to wear if you are not of a heavy-set frame. Don\u2019t dismiss heavier headsets outright though, as they can be the more durable product overall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comfort is never to be slept on, especially if you\u2019re planning any marathon gaming sessions. A decent headset should sit properly around your head, without bending your ears, or slipping even when moving your head around. Properly padded headbands are a must, and typically use either pure foam, velour, pleather, or leather.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Large, soft ear cups that sit just above and below your ears are best and come in the same selection of materials as headbands. Memory-foam velour is kind when it comes to comfort, while leather takes the crown for durability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/epos-h3-hybrid-headset-white-gamer.png\" alt=\"EPOS H3 Hybrid Headset\" class=\"wp-image-24656\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/epos-h3-hybrid-headset-white-gamer.png 800w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/epos-h3-hybrid-headset-white-gamer-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/epos-h3-hybrid-headset-white-gamer-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/epos-h3-hybrid-headset-white-gamer-580x435.png 580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wired versus Wireless Gaming Headsets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wired headsets<\/strong> are best if you are primarily a stationary user. They offer some flexibility across platforms provided they feature a compatible input, with a <strong>3.5mm jack<\/strong> being the most common. USB, even USB-C, is becoming increasingly more available, and definitely something to consider if you are going to use your headset with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/the-best-gaming-headsets-to-use-with-a-steamdeck\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">portable console<\/a>. Wired headsets also don\u2019t require charging, so you won\u2019t be limited in usage. They typically cost less than their wireless counterparts and have more offerings from entry-level to high-end.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wireless <\/strong>headsets offer more freedom of movement, great if you want a pair you can use on the go for music and gaming, provided you keep the batteries charged. Most models offer <strong>2.4 GHz wireless connectivity<\/strong> and <strong>Bluetooth <\/strong>options to work with a wider range of devices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns

class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Kind of Audio Quality Do You Need?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll want to check what kind of noise isolation your headset offers. Headsets with <strong>Passive Noise Isolation<\/strong> are physically designed to block sounds from outside sources. This is typically done through closed backs and tight-fitting headbands and ear cups. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also headsets with <strong>Active Noise Cancelling<\/strong> technology, which filters out background noise for clearer and better audio quality. These are better for eliminating lower range sounds and ambient noises, while noise isolation will effectively eliminate higher pitched sounds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s also <strong>surround sound <\/strong>to consider, which can be an essential feature for gaming. This most commonly takes form in <strong>stereo <\/strong>headsets, which play audio out of each speaker to create a sense of spatial audio.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re after true omnidirectional hearing, then consider <strong>Virtual Surround<\/strong> or <strong>3D Sound.<\/strong> <strong>Virtual Surround <\/strong>creates the sensation of audio coming from multiple directions and channels by tricking your brain.&nbsp; On the other hand, <strong>3D Sound <\/strong>intelligently maps audio to create authentic depth of sound. Arguably the superior option, this is still in its early days as far as support from games is concerned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/epos-h3-hybrid-headset-white-reflection-1.jpg\" alt=\"EPOS H3 Hybrid Headset\" class=\"wp-image-24655\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/epos-h3-hybrid-headset-white-reflection-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/epos-h3-hybrid-headset-white-reflection-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/epos-h3-hybrid-headset-white-reflection-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/epos-h3-hybrid-headset-white-reflection-1-580x435.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gaming Headsets with Microphones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more causal or multipurpose users, having a <strong>microphone <\/strong>integrated into your gaming headset is generally more convenient than a separate one. So, must-have functions like <strong>noise-cancelation<\/strong> and <strong>muting<\/strong> are important. Since most headset microphones will be <strong>omnidirectional<\/strong>, <strong>noise-cancelling<\/strong> functionality is a must to filter out sounds like your breathing. <strong>Quick muting <\/strong>is utilitarian, great for intense gaming sessions where you mutter under your breath more than speaking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Platform is Your Gaming Headset For?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, you already know the answer to this question. You wouldn\u2019t be reading this if you didn\u2019t have a platform in mind for your new gaming headset. The two need to be compatible, but what if you like to slide from shooters on your PC to thrashing your friends at Mario Kart on your Switch? Provided your devices require the same-sized jack or USB port for their inputs, your wired headset should be compatible. Be sure not to always take this for granted though and <strong>check before buying<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/steamdeck-headset-blank-1024x576.png\" alt=\"The Best Gaming Headsets to Use with a SteamDeck\u00a0\" class=\"wp-image-32792\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/steamdeck-headset-blank-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/steamdeck-headset-blank-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/steamdeck-headset-blank-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/steamdeck-headset-blank-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/steamdeck-headset-blank.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Gaming Headset Recommendations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of great gaming headsets to choose from here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Overclockers UK<\/a>.
