Editor’s Rating: 4.7/5

The SteelSeries Arctis 7 is the best wireless gaming headset you can get without spending over $200. It’s an over-ear headset with a steel alloy frame, making it more durable than the Arctis 3 and the Arctis 5. It has the familiar ski goggle suspension headband, a signature feature of the Arctis series, and comes in different colors.

The Arctis 7 has a lightweight frame, featuring a pair of large ear cups equipped with SteelSeries’ exclusive ear cushions for maximum comfort. It comes with a retractable, noise-canceling mic on the left ear cup and has easy-to-reach on-cup controls. The Arctis 7 is extremely comfortable to wear for long stretches, courtesy of the ski goggle suspension headband and the cozy ear cushions, although people with large ears might find the headset uncomfortable to wear for more than a couple of hours.

In regard to sound quality, the Arctis 7 will impress you – unless you’re an audiophile who has extremely high standards. It has a rich and full sound with a punchy bass. Even without the virtual surround sound option, the Arctis 7 still delivers great sound quality. The mic is pretty good as well. It’s clear, blocks out background noise in an effective manner, and easily picks up your voice.

A wireless headset with a long-lasting battery, the Arctis 7 offers full wireless compatibility to PC and PS4 owners, which means the mic can also be used on both platforms. Sadly, the virtual surround sound feature and the on-cup dial for game-chat volume balancing is only available to PC owners. The Arctis 7 also works with a Switch in docked mode, but not directly. For the Switch, you will need to use a separate 3.5-millimeter headphone cable to connect the Arctis 7 USB dongle to the Switch.

If you want an affordable Bluetooth gaming headset that offers excellent sound quality and a long battery life and comes with a clear mic, the Arctis 7 is for you. It connects easily to compatible gaming platforms and has good noise isolation.

2. Corsair Void Pro RGB

Editor’s Rating: 4.2/5

For those on a strict budget, the Corsair Void Pro RGB is the best option. It edges out both the Sony PlayStation Gold and the Turtle Beach Stealth 600, courtesy of its better build quality. But like with other products in the budget category, you have to be willing to accept the limitations and caveats the Void Pro RGB comes with.

In design, the Void Pro RGB is the most striking compared to all the other products on this list. Some will love its rather odd design while others will find it ugly. When it comes to aesthetics, everyone has different tastes. Unlike the SteelSeries Arctis 7, the Void Pro RGB has diamond-shaped ear cups, with well-placed on-cup controls. The ear cushions, which offer excellent noise isolation, are made of memory foam, with the mesh fabric making them more breathable and comfortable.

The Void Pro RGB comes with a non-removable noise-canceling mic with a flip-to-mute function, allowing you to easily turn off the mic on-the-go. The mic is decent and should get the job done during casual multiplayer matches. But for high-stakes matches, you might want to look into a more reliable headset or a standalone mic setup.

When it comes to overall comfort, the Void Pro RGB is spot-on, with its padded headband and large ear cups combining to make extended gaming sessions as comfortable as possible. However, the Void Pro RGB is not the most recommended for people with small heads, as several users have pointed out. On large heads, it is both secure and cozy. But on small heads, it falls off easily.

The Void Pro RGB can connect wirelessly to a PC or PS4. However, PS4 owners won’t be able to make full use of the headset. Aside from the virtual surround sound option being PC-only, the volume control also does not work on the PS4, which means you’ll be forced to adjust the volume on the console itself.

Overall, the Void Pro RGB is a good budget wireless headset. It has a decent sound quality and mic and comes with a battery that runs up to 16 hours on a single charge. Considering the price, you shouldn’t ask for more than what it brings to the table.

3. HyperX Cloud Flight

Editor’s Rating: 4.6/5

When it comes to gaming headsets, HyperX is one of the best in the business, with the Cloud Stinger and the Cloud II being two of the most popular and well-regarded wired headsets in the gaming community. And with the Cloud Flight, the American brand proves it can also deliver in the wireless category.

The Cloud Flight continues the familiar minimalist design the Cloud series is known for. It’s an over-ear headset with a simple all-black finish. Even the HyperX logo on the cups looks understated. It has a steel frame and comes with the signature HyperX ear cushions. But unlike the Cloud II, the Cloud Flight does not ship with an alternate pair of velour ear pads, which might disappoint those who got spoiled by the Cloud II.

Although not on the same level as the velour pads-equipped Cloud II, the Cloud Flight still offers exceptional comfort, courtesy of its lightweight frame and cozy ear cups. The ear cups can rotate all the way to a flat position and feature convenient on-cup controls for on-the-go audio adjustments. The left ear cup includes a detachable noise-canceling mic, which is above-average in terms of quality.

In regard to sound quality, the Cloud Flight, as expected from a HyperX gaming headset, is on point. It offers a clear and rich sound, with the right amount of bass for action-packed first-person shooter games such as Call of Duty: WWII and Overwatch. Combine that with its 30-hour battery life, easily the best out of all the products included here, and you get a great-sounding Bluetooth headset capable of keeping up with your extended gaming sessions.

In all, the Cloud Flight is a fantastic wireless gaming headset that offers long-term value. It has excellent sound quality, comes with a battery built for marathons, and is comfortable to wear for around four to five hours straight. It includes a headphone jack, too, which allows Switch owners to enjoy it in a wired mode.

4. Turtle Beach Stealth 600

Editor’s Rating: 4.1/5

If you’re not sold on the Corsair Void Pro RGB, the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 is a solid alternative as a budget wireless gaming headset. It comes in two versions: a PS4-themed model (blue) and an Xbox One-themed model (green). The Xbox One Stealth 600 offers a direct Xbox One compatibility, which means it connects directly to the console like a controller. The PS4 Stealth 600, on the other hand, uses a USB dongle to establish a connection.

An over-ear headset with a plastic build, the Stealth 600 is a headset designed with comfort in mind. It has an adequately padded headband and a pair of large ear cups covered with mesh fabric for additional comfort. It has a glasses-friendly design and is comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions.

The left ear cup houses a non-removable mic with a flip-to-mute function, allowing you to easily turn off the omnidirectional mic on-the-go. Just flip it up and it automatically turns off. And as with other wireless headsets, the audio controls are on-cup, but in the case of the Stealth 600, the controls feel cheap and fragile.

The Stealth 600 is rich in features. In addition to its flip-to-mute mic, bass boost, independent game and chat volume control, and Superhuman Hearing feature, it also comes with mic monitoring, which allows you to hear your own voice while speaking to your teammates. It’s got a long-lasting battery as well.

When it comes to sound quality, the Stealth 600 is seriously underpowered compared to the HyperX Cloud Flight and is maybe a step or two below the Void Pro RGB. The sound is decent at best and is not something you’d brag about, even with the bass boost. Meanwhile, the mic is a mixed bag. On one hand, it’s clear and is good enough for casual multiplayer. On the other hand, it can be too sensitive sometimes.

Overall, the Stealth 600 is still a solid Bluetooth gaming headset, despite its lackluster sound quality. It’s comfortable to wear for extended periods, comes with a long-lasting battery, and connects directly to your Xbox One without a wireless adapter. The PS4 Stealth 600 is also compatible with the Switch.

5. Plantronics RIG 800

Editor’s Rating: 4.4/5

The Plantronics RIG 800 series is best suited for those who own multiple gaming platforms. It includes three models: the 800HS, the 800LX, and the 800HD, with each model representing the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, respectively. Of the three, the 800LX is the most popular among the gaming community, mainly because it pairs flawlessly with an Xbox One.

The RIG 800 has a rather sophisticated design, at least compared to all the other products included here. It has a lightweight and flexible modular frame with a self-adjusting head strap. That setup puts the RIG 800 almost on par with the SteelSeries Arctis 7 and Arctis Pro Wireless in regard to overall comfort. It has large ear cups with memory foam cushions, which feel supremely comfortable on the head.

On the left ear cup, the RIG 800 houses a non-removable noise-canceling mic with a convenient swivel-to-mute function and a set of audio controls, including the power button and volume control. The RIG 800 is perfect for both large heads and small heads, with the over-ear ear cups providing a tight seal around the ears to block out background noise.

Although the bass is lacking, the RIG 800 has great overall sound quality, with the 800LX and 800HD models adding more juice to the audio experience with their Dolby Atmos feature. A pre-paid Dolby Atmos activation code is included with the Xbox One and PC models of the RIG 800.

When it comes to Bluetooth support, the RIG 800 offers a near-complete package. The 800LX, for example, is compatible with all major gaming platforms (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch). To pair it with a PS4 or Switch, all you need to do is switch the USB dongle to “PC” and then just plug it in the USB port of the console.

If you want a gaming headset with the ability to connect wirelessly to different gaming platforms, not including mobile devices, the RIG 800 is for you. It’s extremely comfortable to wear, comes with a decent mic, and has great sound quality, especially with the Dolby Atmos feature on the Xbox One and PC. Its battery life is also impressive, capable of running up to 24 hours on a single charge.

6. Astro A50

Editor’s Rating: 4.5/5

The Astro A50 is one of the best gaming headsets on the market. It’s also expensive, making it a tough sell for most people. Astro offers a couple of models of the A50: one for the PS4 and one for the Xbox One and PC. Like the green Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and the Plantronics RIG 800LX, the green-colored A50 is one of the few wireless gaming headsets with Xbox One support out of the box.

The A50 is an over-ear headset with a pair of large ear cups that will easily cover your ears. The ear cups come with comfortable ear cushions built for long gaming sessions, which is to say they don’t get too warm after just a couple of hours. On the left ear cup, the A50 has a non-removable noise-canceling mic with a swivel-to-mute function.

Unlike most USB wireless headsets, the A50 comes with a base station, which serves as its charging dock and transmitter. And instead of the usual 2.4 GHz, the A50 uses a 5 GHz wireless connection, resulting in a better audio quality overall, but in exchange for a shorter range. The base station charging dock is also a mixed bag. It’s great that you have a dedicated headset holder that also acts as a charger and includes several other ports, but it can be difficult to align the charging pins.

The biggest reason the A50 is regarded as one of the best gaming headsets is that it offers a top-notch sound quality. It delivers a clear sound, with a thundering bass that will make you want to play action-packed games all the time. The A50 will impress you, from the way it brings out small details to the way it makes the experience even more immersive with its virtual surround sound feature.

If you can afford to spend over $200 on a wireless gaming headset, the A50 is one of the best products you can get today. It has an exceptional sound quality, comes with a convenient base station, and is comfortable to wear for extended periods. It can also connect to a docked Switch, but not without an additional 3.5-millimeter headphone cable, similar to the SteelSeries Arctis 7.

7. SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless

Editor’s Rating: 4.7/5

For those who can afford to drop $300 on a gaming headset, the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless is – hands down – the best option on the market. It’s a huge step up from the Arctis 7, offering a much better sound and mic and a near-universal wireless compatibility.

The Arctis Pro Wireless is a durable gaming headset with a frame made of steel and aluminum. It has the signature ski goggle suspension headband the Arctis series is known for and comes with a pair of large ear cups with comfortable ear cushions. The ear cups, which house the onboard controls as well as a retractable noise-canceling mic, offer excellent noise isolation.

The best thing about the Arctis Pro Wireless is that it comes with swappable batteries, each with a 10-hour runtime on a single charge. With the swappable batteries, you can play games while the other battery is charging in the transmitter base station, and then once the active battery runs out of juice, you can easily swap it out with the newly charged battery. That kind of setup means you’ll never have to worry about a dead headset while playing competitive multiplayer matches.

When it comes to platform compatibility, the Arctis Pro Wireless is easily the best on this list. It comes with PC, PS4, and Switch wireless support out of the box and can also connect with mobile devices, thanks to its Bluetooth connection. The only thing missing is Xbox One wireless support, which is not exactly surprising considering there aren’t many wireless headsets with native Xbox One compatibility.

Overall, the Arctis Pro Wireless is the best Bluetooth gaming headset on the market right now. It has exceptional sound quality and excellent wireless range. It comes with a good mic with noise cancellation and is solidly built from top to bottom. The only reason it’s not our top pick here is that it has an eye-popping price tag.
