Your guide
Thorin Klosowski
After testing over 40 headsets over the course of 60 hours, we think the HyperX Cloud Alpha is the most comfortable, best sounding gaming headset for most people, hampered only by its clear but nasal microphone.
Our pick
HyperX Cloud Alpha
The best gaming headset
Comfortable across a wide range of head sizes, the headset provides detailed spacious sound that’s perfect for games and a serviceable mic.

More of our panelists found the HyperX Cloud Alpha comfortable enough for extended wear than the other headphones we tested. The removable microphone is adequate for talking to teammates, though it will make you sound a bit stuffy. The aluminum construction is confidence-inspiring despite the headset’s light weight, and the materials feel of higher quality than other headsets in this price range—our original review unit is still going strong despite being used by several people in several offices for more than a year. The removable cable has simple in-line controls for headset volume and mute, and you don’t need to fuss with software to make it sound good.

Runner-up
Sennheiser GSP 300
A superior mic but less comfortable
The mic is noticeably better than that of our main pick, and the sound quality is about as good, but the headset is made of a more rigid plastic that’s not as comfortable for everyone. Hard disk manager server edition.

*At the time of publishing, the price was $90.
If you want a better mic, get the Sennheiser GSP 300. Voices come across clearly, and the the GSP 300’s sound is as well tuned for games as the Cloud Alpha’s. Our panelists with larger heads, however, didn't find the GSP 300 as comfortable, plus the GSP 300 is plastic and feels more cheap than the Alpha. And unlike the Cloud Alpha, its cable isn't detachable, nor is its microphone; that's not a huge deal, but it does make the GSP 300 harder to repair if something goes wrong.
Budget pick
Corsair HS50
The cheapest good headset
You’ll sacrifice some detail in the sound, and it won’t be as comfortable for as many people, but at half the price, you’ll still get a decent sounding headset with a clear mic.
Buying Options
The Corsair HS50 is the best sounding, best built headset you can get for less than $50. It’s not as adjustable and comfortable as our main pick, the construction doesn’t feel as solid, and the sound isn’t as detailed as the Cloud Alpha, but at half the price, we wouldn’t expect it to be. Most of our testers found the HS50 comfortable for short periods but complained about warm ears after around an hour.

Sennheiser Game One
An open-back headset with phenomenal sound
This headset’s sound is more spacious than our other picks, and the breathable design is better for sweaty ears, but an open-back headset isn’t great for shared spaces, and the Game One was uncomfortable for our testers with large heads.
Buying Options
*At the time of publishing, the price was $117.
If you have a smaller or average-sized head and want superior long-term comfort, a more engrossing audio experience, and an excellent mic, get the Sennheiser Game One. Unlike most gaming headsets, the Game One has an open-back design, meaning the earcups have vents. This design makes the Game One sound more open and spacious but allows sound to leak out, so people around you (and in voice chat) can hear what you’re listening to. It also makes the headset lighter and cooler to wear for extended periods of time, though our testers with large heads found the headset uncomfortable.
Also great
HyperX Cloud Flight
The best wireless headset
Lightweight, comfortable, and with similar sound quality to our main pick, this headset has more detail and bass than any other wireless headset we tested.
Buying Options
*At the time of publishing, the price was $125.
A wireless headset doesn’t really make that much sense for PC gaming (you’re paying a hefty premium for the luxury of keeping your headset on when you walk to the bathroom) but if you want one, buy the HyperX Cloud Flight. It’s comfortable, sounds nearly as good as the Cloud Alpha, has a better microphone, and has up to 30 hours of battery life, the best of any wireless headset we tested. It’s cheap-feeling compared to the Cloud Alpha and the controls aren’t intuitive, but the comfort and performance is worth it. Another downside of wireless: even with the long battery life, you will still have to charge the Flight now and again, and that’s annoying when you forget.

The research
Why you should trust us
Thorin Klosowski has written about technology for nearly a decade and handles the bulk of Wirecutter’s gaming-related guides, including those covering laptops, mice, and keyboards. For this guide, he laid hands and ears on dozens of headsets.
Who this is for
If you play a lot of multiplayer games and are looking for the simplest way to communicate with teammates, you should consider a gaming headset. With a built-in microphone that often includes background noise cancelling, a headset is useful for games like Overwatch, Fortnite, or Destiny 2.
If you don’t play multiplayer games with voice chat, you should buy a good pair of headphones instead. For less money, you’ll get better sounding, nicer looking headphones that won’t look awkward away from your gaming computer.
If you already have a pair of headphones you love, you can add a microphone to them using a Modmic. The Modmic sticks onto any headphones with a sticker attached to a magnet (so you can remove the mic when not in use). In our tests, the Modmic sounds better than any gaming headset's built-in microphone. But we found the Modmic setup useful only if you leave headphones connected to a computer all day. The dual cables are too cumbersome to untangle if you travel a lot. Modmic also makes a wireless mic that attaches with a magnet. It sounds more clear than the mic on any wireless headset we tested, and the sound quality is almost as good as the wired version. But as the wireless edition costs over $100, we think most people should stick to the wired model for now.
If you don’t play multiplayer games with voice chat, then you should buy a good pair of headphones instead.
If you stream games online or you’re looking for a headset that can also work for the occasional meeting, podcasting, or professional recording, a gaming headset is not the best option. Most gaming headset microphones are fine in-game, cancelling out background sounds of keyboard sounds or roommates, but it’s not broadcast-quality. If mic sound quality is important to you, you'll get better clarity and vocal fidelity from a USB microphone paired with good headphones.
Less convenient, but better sound
The Best Headphones Under $200
After considering 110 headsets and holding three listening panels, we found the Sony MDR-7506 to be the most reliable over-ear headphones for $150 or less.
