PC Gamer created this content as part of a paid partnership with Currys PC World. Your budget is the only limitation but like with wired headsets, performance and features grow the higher the cost, but if you make the right choice the wireless design is no longer the compromise.
You can get a good headset for as little as $100 all the way to $500 monstrosities that include everything and the kitchen sink.
So yeah, here at PC Gamer we are huge fans of wireless headsets. Some others are even exploring wireless Qi charging as well. Admittedly, too many headsets still charge via the outdated Micro-USB, which irks us endlessly, but manufacturers are now adopting the friendlier USB Type-C. We’re happy to report most modern wireless headsets have an average of 16-20 hours of battery life with some like the EPOS | Sennheiser GSP 370 that last 100 hours per charge. The headsets still require a dongle for PC or console, but use Bluetooth to connect to your smart devices.īut no amount of lag-free, hi-res, mind-blowing audio matters if the headset keeps running out of battery every few hours.
This is awesome because you can game on your PC/ Console and stay connected to your phone through the same headset. And now there are also dual wireless headsets which use both 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth simultaneously.
