The 7 Best Wireless Gaming Headsets - Spring 2020
Reviews

The best wireless gaming headset we've tested so far is the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless. These headphones come with a dedicated transmitter that offers tons of customization options right at the tip of your fingers and also provides a very low latency wireless connection. These headphones are also comfortable to wear for hours at once and they're well-built and should last you a while. You can even connect your phone via Bluetooth and mix in music while playing.

Their microphone also sounds very good, and people in your online lobbies should hear you very clearly. They also have very good audio reproduction, although they don't isolate well, so be sure to be playing in quiet environments to get the best experience. The wireless transmitter also acts as a battery charging station. They have a dual battery system where you can charge one in the dock while you're using the other, which is amazing and provides a near-endless battery life.

Unfortunately, these headphones have poor frequency response consistency, which means people might hear different things, especially due to the fit on your head. People with glasses or a lot of hair might feel create a gap in the seal of the cups, creating a noticeable loss in bass. On the upside, the transmitter has a built-in graphic EQ that lets you customize the sound profile to your preference.

The best gaming headset for Xbox One that we’ve tested so far is the wireless Astro A50 Gen 4. These headphones are very comfortable and are very popular in the gaming community for their overall amazing performance. Note that while the unit we tested the PS4 model, we expect our test results to apply to the Xbox One variant as well.

Their base station offers low enough latency to be able to game without any delays and their wireless design is very well-built. They also sound very well-balanced, and you have access to an EQ in their compatible software. Their battery life should last you a while before you need to charge them, and the overall microphone performance is amazing and people shouldn't have any trouble understanding you.

However, they don't isolate noise well and leak a lot, so be sure to use them in a quiet and calm environment. Also, you need the base station to make them work, so they won't be the most versatile option available on this list. Nevertheless, if you're looking for the best wireless gaming headset for your Xbox One, then these are an excellent choice.

The best wireless gaming headset in the budget category that we've tested so far is the Logitech G533. These headphones are well-built and comfortable, which is great for their price point. They have good battery life and their wireless connection to their USB dongle has low latency that provides a good gaming experience.

Their sound profile is very well-balanced and you can easily tweak it to your preference thanks to the Logitech G HUB software that gives you access to a good graphic EQ. There are also a few more customization options in the software for the microphone or surround sound. Their battery life will also let you game for hours without any interruption, although they can't be used with a typical audio cable, but can be used while they charge.

Unfortunately, their microphone's recording quality is only decent and recorded speech might sound a bit thin when compared to other options on this list. Also, the bass and treble delivery vary significantly across users due to the way the padding is made. People with glasses might notice a considerable drop in bass. On the other hand, their overall performance is good if you're looking for a wireless gaming headset while being on a tight budget.
