What to look for before buying a Gaming Headset!

Come and discover together what are the main characteristics that you should consider when buying them and which are the most important, based on the use you want to make.

1. Sound Quality

The heart of every headset, gaming or not, is the quality of its sound. 

Frequency Response 

This feature indicates the range of sounds that the headphones can reproduce. The most common range is that of human hearing, which is 20 - 20000 Hz.

Sensitivity

The sensitivity of the headphones is measured in db. The higher the sensitivity of the headphones, the louder they will sound at a specific volume level. In general, headphones with a sensitivity of 90db or higher are considered a good choice.

Drivers 

The drivers are essentially the speakers inside the headphones and are the main element that affects the sound quality. The larger they are, the better the quality and the more distinct the details of each sound. In general, a driver of 40mm or larger is a good choice!

2. Comfort and Fit

Since a gaming session can last for hours, comfort is very important. Pay attention to the build quality and adjustable size. In addition, gaming headsets are divided into 3 basic types: 

Over Ear

With large ear cups that fit around the ear and provide better isolation from external noise.

In Ear

Discreet earphones, but they require frequent readjustments. 

On Ear

With small ear cups that fit on the ear and do not completely isolate external noise.

3. Microphone Features and Quality

Detachable Microphone: The microphone can be detached from the headphones, offering safer transportation and the option to use it only for audio. 

Mute Button: It has a microphone mute function with a simple movement, offering privacy and reducing noise in group conversations. 

Foldable: The microphone is integrated into the body of the headphones when you don't want to use it.

Are you playing with other people? Then choose a gaming headset with top-quality microphone. Prefer one with a microphone that cancels external noise.

The clarity of the voice will ensure seamless communication and collaboration with teammates.

4. Connectivity

Wired headsets offer reliable and high-quality sound, as you will have more assurance that there will be no delay in the audio. Depending on what suits you best, there are headsets with 3.5mm jack or USB connectors.

Wireless headsets, on the other hand, provide greater freedom of movement, but you should always remember to charge them. You can find wireless headsets with Bluetooth connectivity.

5. Surround Sound

For an enhanced gaming experience, look for headsets with surround sound technology, which can provide an immersive sense of depth and comprehensive sound.

6. Battery Life (Wireless Headsets)

If you have decided to get wireless gaming headsets, check the battery life. You don't want to run out of battery in the middle of a battle, do you? So make the right choice!
