Audeze Mobius

Good for gaming. The Audeze Mobius have a good sound, a great mic, and a wired design with low latency. They're also wireless via Bluetooth but will not work with your consoles that way and have a bit too much latency with this connection option. On the upside, they have mic and audio support when used wired via the analog 1/8" TRRS cable or USB-A to USB-C cable on PC, PS4, and PS5.

Audeze’s debut gaming headset, the Mobius, boasts sound quality that justifies its high sticker price—but it’s undermined slightly by some first-time-out errors.

The Audeze Mobius may be prohibitively expensive for many gamers, but that doesn’t mean it’s not absolutely worth the price of entry. The excellent sound quality and comfort easily make this one of the best gaming headsets we’ve ever used.

The Audeze Mobius is hands-down the best sound gaming headset we've ever tested. The custom drivers and head tracking tech create one of the most immersive gaming and movie watching experiences we've ever enjoyed. Issues with its wireless connectivity on Windows stop it from being a shut up and take my money purchase, however.
