Top Headphones 2023

The Razer Barracuda X is an incredibly flexible wireless gaming headset with a USB-C adapter that easily connects to PCs, Android phones, and the Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation consoles.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 connects easily via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and sounds great in-game. It’s a tight fit, however, and not that customizable.

The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro takes everything good about the BlackShark V2 and cuts the cord. Synapse software means you can tweak the sound just how you like it, and the 2.4 GHz wireless connection lets you walk away from your game while still jamming to the soundtrack. This understated headset puts in the work, but non-premium materials could hamstring it in terms of the competition.

The Razer BlackShark V2 are decent for wired gaming. These comfortable headphones have a detachable boom mic that makes your voice sound clear. Their sound profile delivers a bit of extra boom, which helps bring out sound effects in action-packed games, and you can also customize it in the companion software. The headphones are fully compatible with PC, PS4, and PS5 and come with a USB sound card that gives you access to features like custom Game Modes and virtual surround sound options. They also work with Xbox One or Xbox Series X via analog connection, but you can't use the USB sound card with those consoles.

The Logitech G Pro X headset has great sound, customizable software and plenty of accessories, but you’ll pay for the luxury.

The Sennheiser GSP 670 is a truly luxurious and comprehensive wireless gaming headset that really sings, whether for music, film, or gaming.

Decent for gaming. The Corsair HS50 do most things well but don’t really stand out in any gaming categories. Their microphone is good; it will please most online gamers, and you’ll be able to wear them for long gaming sessions. Also, you won’t have any delay due to their wired connection, which is great. They have a simple gaming-oriented control scheme with a mic-mute switch. However, they aren’t customizable like some other gaming headsets, since they aren’t compatible with the Corsair iCUE software and don’t have channel mixing. On the upside, their simple 1/8” TRRS connector is compatible with all consoles and PCs, making them a versatile headset.

The Bowers & Wilkins PX wireless headphones are a rare misfire from the iconic audio company, with buggy operation and audio performance that changes when the noise cancellation is enabled.

The Roccat Syn Max Air costs a lot, but it comes with a lot of extra features. So, its sound, which is heavy on treble, won’t be for everyone, but it has a lot to offer anyone who wants a high-end wireless

This is a really solid pair of headphones for the price - they're super lightweight, and some might find them a little flimsy, but the sound you get is really impressive.
