But if you’re not fussed about a broadcast-worthy mic, you’re best off saving some money with an older model

If you’re after a mid-range gaming headset with audio that packs the punch of an artillery shell, look no further than the Epos H6Pro. Its immensely satisfying sound quality, paired with a crystal clear mic make it one of the best headsets in its price range. Plus, compatibility with all systems means you won’t need to pick and choose. The only choice you’ll need to make here is if you’d prefer the open or closed back variant.

The Razer Opus X has the same Active Noise Cancelling technology and overall design as the regular Opus headphones.

The Beyerdynamic MMX 100 gaming headset is simple and well-made. For the price, it’s a little on the boring side, but the fact that it’s reliable counts for something here. Some people might not like how quiet the bass is, but it shouldn’t change the game sounds too much and might even make it easier to hear sounds like footsteps. If you want a nice, simple choice, pay attention.

The premium V-Moda Crossfade 3 Wireless headphones look stylish and offer a relatively transparent, balanced audio experience.

The Sennheiser GSP 600 offers quality audio for both games and music, but its bulky design and lack of additional features make it difficult to recommend.

The Corsair HS60 Pro surround gaming headset has memory foam ear cushions and 50mm neodymium audio drivers that have been specially tuned. It provides one of the most comprehensive and well-designed bundles for the money. In some ways, it competes with the more expensive Corsair Void Pro. It improves a good low-cost gaming headset in subtle but significant ways. Both the build quality and the sound of the Corsair HS60 Pro Surround are excellent for the price. With a solid mic, a USB adaptor with sidetone, 7.1 surround, and robust bass for good measure, this headset epitomizes the phrase “punching beyond your weight.”

Admittedly, the Astro A30 has its limits. But, it's yet more proof that a new breed of gaming headsets is taking over – one that sounds great, looks great, and is versatile enough to be used at and away from your desk.

Far from a household name, Sivga has knocked it out of the park with the Sivga Robin over-ear headphones. Incredibly lightweight while looking more stylish than most, a wide soundstage comes with detailed sound that you'll adore. For anyone unfussed about branding or ANC, these are an ideal pair of cans for all situations.

The Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Pro combines form and function for a gorgeous and high-quality gaming headset that justifies the price.
