How do you choose an Xbox gaming headset?
Choose an Xbox gaming headset
Of course, you want to get a Xbox gaming headset that suits your gaming habits. Ask yourself the following questions and find your ideal Xbox gaming headset:
- Would you rather game wired or wirelessly?
- Do you want to game in stereo or surround?
- Do you want to game comfortably?
- Do you want to stay focused while you game?
Would you rather game wired or wirelessly?
You can easily connect your gaming headset to your Xbox via a wired or wireless connection. For a wired Xbox gaming headset, you plug the 3.5mm input into your Xbox controller. Do you want more freedom of movement? We recommend a wireless gaming headset. When looking at wireless gaming headsets, check if you can connect them to the Xbox wirelessly. That's because Xbox uses a different technology than PlayStation or PC, for example.
Stereo or surround sound?
Stereo
If you don't game often but want to play games with good sound, a gaming headset with stereo sound is what you're looking for. With stereo sound, the music and in-game sounds come from 2 speakers. This way, you can also enjoy the sound of your games when you have a smaller budget. Do you want to get more out of your games? Consider a gaming headset with surround sound.
Surround
Do you want to clearly hear the difference in tones and the direction of the sound? We recommend a gaming headset with surround sound for the best experience. That way, you can hear where your enemies are, where shots are coming from, and helicopters flying overhead more clearly. This immerses you in your favorite games even more, so you can get the most out of your gaming experience.
Do you want to game comfortably?
The ear cushions of gaming headsets are made of different materials. If you don't game often, fabric ear cushions are often enough. Do you game for hours on end and do you want extra comfort? We recommend a gaming headset with leather or foam ear cushions that are filled with memory foam. That way, the gaming headset closes you off entirely and you can game comfortably.
Do you want to stay focused while you game?
If you really want to focus on your favorite games, noise canceling is the way to go. Noise canceling filters all background noise, like the noise of talking family members. That way, you can completely focus on your games and won't get distracted. That's useful during a thrilling match of Call of Duty.
