If you are a pro gamer then you would love to enjoy every bit of the game. To enjoy the game a gamer puts all the efforts to make his/her gaming console or the PC a grand one. For example, if you are using a gaming console like PS4 you will be needing a very good television set which produces HD quality video. If you are a PC gamer then you will be needing a high-quality monitor, an excellent graphics card, high-quality RAM, gaming headsets, keyboards and mouse. Sometimes you have to invest a good amount in joysticks too. So to enjoy your favorite game is not cheap. In all those hefty investments you forget about the sound very often while you’re reaching for the highest resolutions and framerates.

At present high-quality games are produced for gaming consoles and pc. One of the great features of these games is the outstanding audio direction. The background music of the games totally change the environment and you get immersed yourself in the game totally. The days of built-in speakers are long gone.  You need to buy external speakers for enjoying the game. These external sound devices are not very cool for two reasons-

  • These are pricey. If you really want to enjoy the game you need to buy the pricier one for sure.
  • They occupy more space. You want to make your workstation or gaming zone very compact in present days because of the scarcity of the space.

So you have come out with the solution of your gaming sound. If you are a serious gamer then you will agree that sound plays a great role in enjoying the game to the fullest. At the same time, you don’t have space and you want great sound at a low price. So use a great quality gaming headset. That’s the solution for it. Now you will be asking which great quality gaming headsets are for me. In this article, we will be discussing some best quality gaming headsets of 2018.

The ones I will be discussing here will be providing you great vibrant sound and crystal clear acoustics with great bass. The benefits of using headsets are –

So let’s begin analyzing the headsets what we have tested. We will also discuss the price, pros, cons and the features of the headsets.

This one is a high standard gaming headset with impeccable design. The Asus ROG Centurion 7.1 produces high-quality sound. If you have a weak heart then this is not for you.

Razer ManO’ War

Personally, I like the name very much. The headset looks cool. It has 7.1 surround sound and wireless technology. The controls are mounted on the ear cups. The wireless range is 14 meters with the extender. Leather covered ear cups gives a comfort for extended use. The user would find it very stylish and attractive though the design is a bit chunky.

Features

  • It is wireless. The wireless receiver is handy and can be kept in a compartment.
  • Large circular ear cups that fit the ears of any sizes.
  • Lights are available in both ear cups. Synapse application gives you the flexibility to choose the color of the ear cup lights.

  • Set up is easy and connects smoothly with any PC and gaming consoles.
  • It is wireless so it is easier to carry.

  • The design is slightly heavy and bulky than the other headsets available at the market of the same range or feature.

The price is $169.99. Go to The Razer Zone store for the details. For price go through this link.

HyperX Cloud Flight

It is the first Wireless gaming headphone produced by the HyperX. The most lucrative feature of this headset is the 30 hours battery life. Generally, HyperX is producing affordable headsets and better known for giving best products in reasonable pricing. The cloud flight is sleek in design and looks classy. The controls are built-in in the ear cups. The left ear cup has the power button. This button also produces the lighting effect on the ear cups. The volume button is situated at the right ear cup. But the simultaneous change of chat and game volumes are not possible which can be done in some other headsets like Arctis 7. The microphone is not flexible and either you have to detach it or keep it in front of your mouth to continue the conversation.

HyperX Cloud Alpha

HyperX produced this good quality headphone without increasing the price level. The headphone looks very familiar to the previous designs of the HyperX but it has some improvements inside. Actually, for the price, this Cloud Alpha is quite good and definitely satisfies the mid to pro level gamers. You will find more distinctive sound because of the dual chamber feature. It has detachable microphones which are Discord and TeamSpeak certified. But you will be amazed to hear that the price is only $ 99.99.

This one is a versatile gaming headset within your budget. It has impressive features with good looks. When you are buying a headset at a low price your expectation is also very low. But if you are having this Corsair HS50 Stereo then you can expect something more. There are plenty of high-quality headsets in the market which you can get at high prices.

Corsair Void Pro RGB Wireless Gaming Headphone

Another superb product from Corsair. It is the follow-up version of the Corsair Void. It is giving 7.1 channel surround sound with reasonable pricing. The wireless technology allows you ditch the wires and you can use it on the go very comfortably. But our observations show that there may be some compromises done on the sound quality to make the less expensive wireless gaming headset by the corsair.

Turtle Beach XO Three

Another low budget one. But it is impressive. It uses the Windows Sonic for getting the surround sound effect. It will not give you serious gaming sounds or exploding bass but you will be not disappointed as the headset produces great values for the price. You will have a great time playing online games as well as chatting with the friends. The built quality is okay and chances of breaking the headband are very low. So enjoy the online games and save some money too.
