10 Best PC Gaming Headsets 2022 | UK Gaming Blogger Reviewed

Slick, stylish and full of substance as well, these Virtuoso's are probably our favourite looking product, but they're more than just a good body. They have an uncompromising sound quality, which is pumped out through large, very respectable speakers, as well as hyper-fast wireless technology that should see no latency issues whatsoever. 

Plus, they're super comfortable. They have a lightweight but strong aluminium build, and our favourite ear cup material, memory foam. On top of all of this, they're compatible with pretty much any platform any budding or pro gamer is likely to play on. All of this means this headset steals our top spot! 

The Cloud series from HyperX is known for being, well, just a bit good, and this is quite possibly the best of the bunch. The rich, compelling sound will provide a total immersion and complete situational awareness when you're playing online, making them ideal for those FPS or MOBA titles we all know and love.

Additionally, this set is built with premium quality parts, such as a smooth but tough metal frame that can be easily adjusted even in-game, so you'll always have ultimate comfort. And the ear cups certainly make the headset live up to its 'cloud' name!

A match for any long-session gamers after a wireless model with solid battery life and none of the latency issues, the Arctis 7 has you covered. This multi-award winning headset has a rock-solid connection and can run for up to 24 hours off of one charge. Huge! 

Furthermore, it's super comfy, with a particularly great ski headband that's great for keeping the weight off your noggin. Add to this its impressive surround sound capabilities and an effective, if not completely outstanding, microphone and you have yourself a mighty impressive gaming PC headset!

With a massive 4.4/5 stars on Amazon after 61,000+ reviews, you know this headset has a lot going for it. It offers a fully immersive surround sound experience and connects simply by via Bluetooth or a USB dongle (included). Plus, the excellent noise cancellation means no rustling crisp packets should get picked up mid-shootout. 

Additionally, there's 'superhuman' hearing, which means enhanced critical in-game sounds, such as footsteps or reloads, which could give you a vital advantage during intense online matches. Plus, the ProSpecs technology means it's glasses-friendly, so you shouldn't have difficulties with awkward frames!

This is by far our favourite budget headset on the market, and our top recommendation if the purse strings are a bit tight. It has a terrific, if somewhat bass-heavy, soundscape, and the most-coveted microphone features like noise cancellation, a mute button, and detachability. 

Even though it's such a bargain, Corsair hasn't shirked away from the top-drawer materials, with memory foam pads that'll provide a little bit of luxury to your PC sessions, and a metal adjustable headband that adds to the durability.

The USP of this headset from Razer is the fact that it offers haptic feedback vibrations taken from in-game cues – talk about taking things up a notch! While this could feel slightly 'gimmicky', we assure you it's done with style and will add an extra element to your experience in FPS or tension-heavy games. 

Moreover, this headset has all the relevant microphone functions one could need, and you even get the option of playing either wired or wirelessly, where you can have up to 24 hours of game time on one charge. 

A reliable mid-range headset, the G Pro X from Logitech has a fantastic soundscape, particularly the highs which it permits with true clarity, as well as a pro-gamer-quality microphone that's clear and detachable, and extra-comfy memory foam padding. 

While the sound is good, the bass can be a bit weak, which shouldn't be a problem when gaming but if you wanted to use them as headphones it could be disappointing. There's also a stereo sound version for around £30 less, but we'd recommend paying the extra for the better sound here. 

If you're in the market for a headset with a punchy low-end, then you're going to love this. This product line from HyperX is known for having a great sound and build quality, and the Cloud II duly delivers on both of these promises. While you could think the extra bass would muddy the waters, so to speak, that's not the case at all, as this headset retains great clarity.

Plus, the comfortable ear cups will ensure you enjoy long sessions without it ever becoming troublesome. The only dispute is that the microphone isn't too clear, which could lead to a lack of communication when playing online. If you're more of a listener than a talker though, it could be perfect for you.

The affordable G9000 headset is our top pick for first-time gamers. It has an adjustable headband to fit different size heads, a soft head beam pad made from memory foam for comfort and it has a 120°flexible mic. 

This headset offers crisp and powerful sound allowing you to hear footsteps and even gunshots very clearly. Reviews particularly liked the LED lights on the side of the cups, however, some did mention that the adaption lead for consoles is rather short so you may need to purchase a longer one separately if needs be. 

Getting us underway is the TYGR 300 from Beyerdynamic. They provide an exquisitely precise and clear sound, ideal for those PC games you're looking to get a bit of atmosphere from. The vacuum of space will have never sounded so good! There's also a luxurious quality feel, they're sturdy and durable, but most of all, comfortable. 

The one negative is that fans have commented that the wire can be fragile, so you may want to take care when you're not using the headset and make sure it's packed away safely. It's also one of the more expensive options on our list, which renders it unattainable for some.
