The X12 , with its equipped mm speakers and customizable built-in amplifier, has long been heralded by tech companies and gaming publications as one of the best budget-based headsets years after its debut. The stiff plastic build is engineered to comfortably withstand normal abuse, along with the bundled foot chord, and the additional microphone monitor for hearing yourself speak into the mic is a welcome addition we only wish could be included in more affordable, close-back headphones.
We admit the Ear Force X12 do not rival the aforementioned XP Seven in terms of sound, but you could almost purchase five pairs of them for the price of merely one of the higher-tiered options on our list. The in-line amp and coupled controls for adjusting game, bass and voice volume rest a bit closes to the head that we would like, but the positives far outweigh our minimal quibbles. It appears qualms are kept to a minimal when you design a top-of-the-line gaming headset from the ground up exclusively for the Xbox Although it never lives up to the Dolby Digital 7.

The San Francisco-based powerhouse known as Astro Studios has been only been in the headset market for less than a decade, but it has possessed its laudable intuitiveness since day one. The device is capable, but not overly elaborate, offering additional features like Dolby Digital 7.
The sound, the most crucial aspect in a quality gaming headset, showcases pristine nuances and exceptional balance, rightly flaunting the crisp highs and punchy base with every exhilarating reverberation. The balance and power is unparalleled, likely why it dons the high price tag, and it retains an element of attractiveness despite its somewhat bulky build. For a closer look at other Astro offerings, check out our Astro A50 review. The Turtle Beach Ear Force XP is concrete — well plastic anyway — evidence the line designating gaming headsets from our everyday listening peripherals is becoming increasingly blurred with every new model to hit the already-expansive market.

Be assured though, that this isn't just a list of the most expensive sets out there: we test a range of headsets and our picks of the best Xbox One headsets always have to conform to a few criteria: the audio quality has to be, at least, of a very good standard, even if the connection is just an ordinary 3. Beyond those functional categories, of course, the price has to be right.
While some headsets may provide excellent sound, the price tags on these can spiral, so value for money is as critical as anything else. Note: We are seeing US availability of some of our favourite Xbox One headsets, fluctuate a bit in recent weeks July , but hang on in there and keep coming back to check - these are some of the biggest names in headsets, and they'll soon be readily available once again.

It's a great package for anyone serious about sound and getting the most out of their Xbox games. While the headset comes with 40mm drivers, which are smaller than many similarly priced competitors, they're well-tuned and deliver audio that punches well above its weight while retaining a nice clarity and richness.
The mic is clear, comes with decent noise-canceling, and is retractable for when you're not using it. While you never completely remove the mic, it's hidden enough for you to use this headset as an everyday pair of cans, connecting to phones and tablets via a Bluetooth connection. That's a real bonus. You can even plug in via the 3. It's a superb all-rounder, but one that plays so very nicely with the Xbox One. If you want to seriously invest in a headset that does everything you need for gaming and beyond, the Steelseries Arctis 9X is well worth a look.
It's also compatible with Xbox Series X S which is awesome. The Stealth Gen 2 has gotten a design upgrade from the original headset, with a slightly toned-down look no more bright green on the Xbox version and a flip-to-mute mic that folds neatly into the earcup.
The control buttons have also been reorganized and moved to just one earcup. The buttons are nicely sized and well-spaced out, but if you're used to the Gen 1 Stealth s, you might need some time to get adjusted to them. The Stealth Gen 2 is leagues more comfortable than the Stealth Gen 2, which is saying something as I found the latter fit my glasses-wearing head quite well, but had ear cups that began to pinch after a few hours of gaming.
The supple memory foam cushions with Aerofit cooling gel on the Stealth Gen 2 is incredibly comfortable and lets you wear this headset with ease for hours upon hours of gaming. And these headphones sound great, with large drivers that give you some great all-around sound, and the ability to fine-tune the audio to your liking with the Audio Hub.

The wireless Bluetooth connection is one of the best we've tested on the Xbox Series X too.
If you like your accessories officials and maybe find yourself in a situation of getting your new-gen console-setup in order before you find that elusive Xbox Series X stock, then this is the headset to span the generational gap. The Razer Nari Ultimate is an incredible gaming headset , but one that comes at a premium price. In addition to bringing excellent surround sound, the headset also offers haptic feedback, which means this vibrates in time with the audio so you can literally feel the big noises usually explosions.
While this may seem like a gimmick, it actually makes a noticeable difference to how you experience a game, so if you're big on action titles, this headset is definitely for you.
Elsewhere it's worth noting that the Nari Ultimate is wireless, and that the battery life is surprisingly good considering this has haptic feedback as well as the usual audio features.
It's comfy, subtly designed, feels good if you're wearing glasses, and has a retractable mic. In fact, the only real issue is the mic, which doesn't offer the same premium sound quality as the rest of the features of the headset. Not really poor, but not market-leading either. So, if you're a big talker, that could be an issue.
If not Note that you can buy this Xbox One specific Nari Ultimate headset which is very focussed for the console and gaming, but will then require the Microsoft Wireless Adapter to use it with your PC as it does not include a 3.

And that's all down to a simple wired connection that the Recon offers - oh, and also the supreme audio quality and excellent value it offers too.

Wood composite injection technology. Dedicated woofers and tweeters per earcup. Take it to the bank. Not one for perennial tweakers then, but those who enjoy value, simplicity, and fundamentally great audio should scout out this new Recon. Razer Kraken Tournament Edition. We love the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition.
The 50mm drivers deliver a clear, loud 5. It's one of the best headsets for online play, helping you pick out enemy movements and distant gunfire at a decent range and with great accuracy. Elsewhere, the Kraken TE is light, comfortable thanks to cooling tech in the ear-cushions , and sturdy - three things you really need in a mid-priced Xbox One headset.
The wired connection comes with an in-line control for volume and mic muting although this only currently works on PC , and the retractable mic itself is clear without being exceptional. Our previous champion was the Razer Kraken Pro V2 , but the TE now offers superior value and audio for roughly the same price in some cases, you can even find it cheaper , so it replaces the older model.
It's one of the most well-rounded and versatile headsets we've tested, and represents great value for money. That bold Xbox green coloring is the icing on the cake - and the cherry on top is that it's compatible with the Xbox Series X and S.

Throw in a strong battery life of around 20 hours between charges, and the package soon becomes incredibly compelling. These options are particularly handy, offering general flexibility, but also the chance to reign in the treble which can sometimes be a bit piercing.
Not many games support full-on Dolby Atmos audio yet, but the app's settings are worth experimenting with for any game, especially as you can switch on some quality positional audio, offering a potential edge in online shooters.
The build and design quality also help to further justify the price of admission, with the brushed metal earcup yokes feeling like they'll protect the headset from any drops - on their sides at least - while looking good too. Leatherette coverings around the headband and cups, along with soft padding, make the HS75 XB a comfortable wear.
They do feel quite large though, and even on the smaller band settings it was quite a loose fit, especially over the ears - but then again this helped our ears stay cool. It's built to serve every level of the Xbox experience, it puts ease-of-use at the forefront, along with multi-generational compatibility.
