Gaming headsets that have excellent audio too

In this category I’m only including headsets that include a microphone.

So there’s been some really impressive improvements in the world of gaming headsets.

In the last few years, some serious audiophile brands started making “gaming headsets” like the Audeze Maxwell Wireless, or the Audeze LCD-GX

The problem is they’re still hitting premium budget ranges.

But recently there’s been a real push for high quality audio in a gaming headset

One worth serious consideration at a fairly standard price point of £150 is the Drop Epos PC38X which is open backed and a Sennheiser Design




And then if you really want to up your experience, you can pair it with a proper gaming DAC, this is an audiophile grade D-A Converter that will retain superior audio quality, this will knock the pants over any “gaming sound card”

The Schiit HEL Plus is hard to beat maintaining high quality sound, problem is they’re extremely popular and stocks sell out fast so you have to be on the lookout


They do have a European store also which is often better stocked

Absolutely, there are some great options when you pair in a modular mic.

There's also the ModMic which has a range of options going up in price


Those options really do open up the doors to something really special, IMHO, some of the Hifiman Planar Magnetics are great options doing it this way too like the Sundara, or even the HE400SE

But the possibilities at that level are quite literally endless.
