The 6 Best Wireless Gaming Headsets - Fall 2019
Reviews

The best wireless gaming headphones that we’ve reviewed so far are the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless. They’re comfortable, well-built headphones that can connect to your PC or PS4 via their USB wireless transmitter and support Bluetooth for compatibility with mobile devices. They have a complete, efficient control scheme and can mix audio from both wireless sources simultaneously. Their transmitter has lots of connectivity options too, so they’re great wireless TV headphones as well.

These headphones come with two swappable batteries that you charge directly in the base transmitter, ensuring you never run out of power. They have a very good, neutral audio reproduction which makes them well-suited for not only video game soundtracks and effects, but for listening to music and watching movies too. You can customize the way they sound with the SteelSeries Engine and access EQ presets directly on their transmitter.

Although they deliver a feature-packed experience, they’re a bit expensive. You may want to consider the SteelSeries Arctis 7 2019 Edition if you’re looking for a similarly designed headset that doesn’t cost as much. However, if you use your smartphone a lot while gaming or want something with more inputs to set up with a more complex home theatre system, the Pro Wireless are the best wireless headset.

If you like the design of the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless but don’t feel the need to have so many active features, the best wireless headphones in the mid-range category are the SteelSeries Arctis 7 2019 Edition. They don’t support Bluetooth, so they cannot connect with mobile devices, but they’re cheaper and have better microphone control than the Pro Wireless.

These headphones sound great and have a very good microphone for gaming. Their battery system is different than the other SteelSeries, but is still very good. They don’t have a removable battery, so you charge the headset directly via USB. Their charge time is a bit long at 3.5 hours, but their battery life is 24 hours, which will last you for multiple days of gaming.

Unfortunately, these headphones don’t have wireless microphone compatibility with the Xbox One, so you’ll have to plug them into your controller for chat support. Although they don’t have the same great wireless transmitter as the Pro Wireless, they’re a worthwhile lower-cost choice with additional customization options in the SteelSeries Engine, like mic level control.

If you’re looking for a decent wireless gaming headset that won’t break the bank, the best budget wireless gaming headphones we've tested so far are the Corsair HS70. They don’t have quite as many features as some of the more premium options on this list, but they still perform fairly well overall. They’re comfortable, well-built gaming headphones with a sleek, casual design that’s easy-to-use.

They have a very well-balanced default sound profile that lends itself well not only to video game soundtracks and effects but also movies and music. With the iCUE software, you can customize the way they sound on PC and adjust their mic levels as well. They have a good 15-hour battery life and charge in under 2 hours, which is pretty quick for gaming headphones. They also have an auto-off timer that you can adjust in the app, which helps save power too.

Although their microphone performance is decent overall, they don’t have as good of a microphone as some of the more expensive options like the HyperX Cloud Flight. They're also not compatible with the Xbox One and can't be used at all with a regular audio cable. That said, if you’re a PS4 or PC gamer who doesn’t need the utmost best in microphone performance, these headphones provide great value for their price.
