The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 doesn't have the most robust of chassis designs, but it's difficult to argue with the audio quality for the price, especially when you've given it a tweak with the DTS Headphone X spatial audio codec. The fit is very comfortable, too.

A stone cold classic at this point, the Razer BlackShark V2 X delivers a huge whack of everything you might want in a wired gaming headset for a very reasonable price. For a mere $33, you're getting 50 mm titanium drivers, a good microphone, comfy memory foam earpads, and a green cable. Yes, a green cable. Worth the price alone, if you ask me.

If you're wondering why you might pay a little more than the Razer headset above for, well, another Razer headset, the answer is comfort. Don't get me wrong, the BlackShark V2 X is a comfy thing to wear, but the plush, cushy memory foam cushions of the Kraken are well worth considering if you're looking for as much all-day usage as possible. It still sound great, too.

Quite literally , the HyperX Cloud Alpha has reigned supreme at the top of our guide for some time now, and looks to be staying there for a while longer. It's a powerful, punchy performer with superb comfort and a refined design, and even better, it regularly turns up on discount. Tough to beat, this one.

The Arctis Nova 3 has only been out for five minutes, but it looks like it's been hit with the deals stick already. SteelSeries knows a thing or two about comfort, and has plastered the inside of this set with its AirWeave memory foam cushions, which I can tell you are immensely comfortable (and surprisingly hard-wearing). You get AI-powered noise cancelling for the mic if you install SteelSeries' Sonar software, too, which is a bonus, alongside some handsome good looks and some excellent drivers.

The Void V2 is certainly a stylish gaming headset, and we found it to be very comfortable in , too. It's a versatile set with an extra Bluetooth connection alongside the 2.4 GHz dongle, and delivers a clear, accurate sound, making for a light-touch set with great day-to-day sensibilities. It's a shame Corsair wants you to install some fairly bloaty software, and there's no wired connection, but otherwise it's a great wireless set for the cash.

The came as something of a surprise, given that we haven't been too keen on some of its siblings. But whaddaya know, this one's actually pretty great.

Plus it's a Bluetooth set, which means you could wear it in public without looking like a gamer-on-the-go. It might not have a discount right now, but this is still a very good price on a very good set.

I think I can convince you this is a headset well worth looking at with one bite of the cherry—300-hour battery life. Yep, that's not a typo. To this day the longest-lasting gaming headset , the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless isn't just a one trick pony, as it also sounds great and is remarkably comfortable to boot. The mic is merely average, but otherwise, it's a superstar.

This is a headset with a couple of party tricks up its sleeve. For a start, it's got swappable batteries, which means you can technically never run out of juice if you keep switching them up with a charged replacement. Secondly, those batteries are charged inside a separate DAC unit with multi-device functionality, so this set of cans can quickly become your primary solution for all your audio connectivity needs. Being a high-end SteelSeries unit, it also sounds great and has plenty of comfort features to shout about, too.

If you're looking for a cheap pair of earbuds with some premium specs, the EarFun Air Pro 4 are much better than the name might suggest. They sound great and have excellent battery life, though the lack of a 2.4 GHz mode is a slight disappointment. Bluetooth with Game Mode is good enough, though.

These buds are simply , full stop. That's because they offer a 2.4 GHz, dongle-based wireless connection alongside traditional Bluetooth support, which means you get super-fast gaming response times as well as the convenience of a set of earbuds to tuck in your pocket, ready to face the world wherever you go. They're water resistant and offer up to 40-hour battery life, too, which is grand.

Look, I'm not going to tell you these are the perfect earbuds for gaming, because they're not. Thanks to a Bluetooth-only connection, there's a bit of lag that rules this set out as a pure gaming device. What the Sennheiser buds deliver, though, is the best audio I've ever heard from earbud drivers, wrapped up in a convenient, [[link]] hard-wearing case that's made them my constant companions for well over a year. Yes, there are caveats. But these buds? Bloomin' brilliant.

This is a gaming headset that keeps cropping up in the deals, and it's remarkably good value even at full whack. With 50 mm drivers that are great for music, gaming, or anything else you want to pump into your lugholes, plus a good-looking and comfortable design, there's really not a lot to complain about here for the price. Maybe the green cable? Nah, I actually think it's kinda cool.

Don't be put off by how long it's been around, though—we've kept it at the top for a reason.

The is a remarkably good gaming headset, which came as something of a surprise to us given that we haven't been huge fans of some of the other Turtle Beach offerings. It's an understated, somewhat-stylish affair with a clear mic, excellent soundstage, and superb battery life. The headband could do with a touch more padding, but otherwise this is well worth some serious consideration.

SteelSeries knows how to make a lightweight and comfy gaming headset, and this one is no exception. It's got the same chassis design as some of the more expensive models, all without skimping on the important bits, like accurate drivers and a good microphone. It's removable, too, which means you can take advantage of the Bluetooth connection and wear it outside, all without looking like a prize plum thanks to its subtle design.

300-hour battery life. Nope, that's not a typo. Of course, battery life is just one of the factors you should be thinking about when buying a wireless gaming headset, but this one doesn't let the side down in any respect. It sounds great, the bass response is excellent, it's comfy as you like, and it's red. Not that it matters much, but still. The mic is merely average, but otherwise? Yep, this set's a winner.

If comfort and good looks are at the top of your priority list, you should definitely check out the Razer Kraken V4. Despite its weight, we found it to be a very comfortable thing to wear in , which combined with the excellent audio quality and reasonable price makes it a winner in our book. Oh, and that was at the full MSRP, so with a decent chunk knocked off? Even better.
