The Best Gaming Headsets for Every System

Microphones are common on most headphones and earbuds, but on gaming-specific headsets you’re more likely to find boom mics sticking out from one of the ears. These tend to provide better audio quality, as well as a few other features you may want to consider when buying a new headset.

The first is a visual indicator for whether your mic is muted. I know that sounds a little funny, but it serves a dual purpose of letting you know that you’re being heard when you’re talking, and also ensuring your friends don’t hear you snacking. This might be a light, or a hinge that lets it physically flip out of the way, but either way, it’s essential for me when buying a headset.

I also like to keep an eye out for sidetone, or talkback, which is how much of what you say is piped back into the headset. Hearing a bit of your own voice can help you know how loud you’re talking, especially with how good the sound isolation is on some of these headsets. Dedicated software will often let you adjust this, but if not, you might be stuck with the default setting.

Audio quality matters to an extent, but if you’re interested in streaming or podcasting, you’ll want to check out USB microphones. They require an extra investment, and some desk space, but will provide audio that’s closer to what you might expect from professional-grade audio equipment.
