Top Headphones 2023

The SteelSeries Arctis 7+ are good for wireless gaming. They have a highly customizable performance, thanks to their companion software, which includes a graphic as well as parametric EQ, noise gate, and virtual surround. Their USB dongle also ensures low latency, so your audio and visuals stay in sync while gaming. They have a comfortable fit, and their battery delivers over 60 hours of continuous playback time. If you like to game with others, their boom mic has a decent overall performance, ensuring you're heard clearly, even in a moderately noisy environment.

The Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED are good for wireless gaming. Thanks to their wireless USB dongle, they have low latency to keep your audio and visuals in sync while you're gaming. Their companion software also offers customization features like a graphic EQ plus presets to help you adjust their otherwise neutral sound to suit your tastes. If you like to game with others, their boom mic can separate your voice from moderate ambient noise, although the recording quality is just okay. On the downside, the headphones are prone to inconsistencies in audio delivery, so it's important to take the time to adjust them on your head.

The Drop + Sennheiser PC38X Gaming Headset is good for wired gaming. These headphones have a comfortable fit, and their flippable boom mic captures your voice clearly, even in moderately noisy environments. They also have a decently immersive passive soundstage, and their wired design ensures a virtually latency-free gaming experience. However, they lack companion software, and their controls are limited.

The SteelSeries Arctis 7P are good for wireless gaming. These comfortable headphones have very low latency on PC, PS5, and Android and offer around 24 hours of continuous battery life. Their boom microphone does a great job of capturing your voice clearly, even in noisy environments. You can also customize their sound profile with their companion software.

The Cooler Master MH751 are good for wired gaming. They have a comfortable fit, virtually no audio latency, and a high-quality boom microphone that should ensure that your teammates understand you clearly. They also have a fairly well-balanced sound profile, though they lack any sort of sound customization features and don't have a companion app.

The HyperX Cloud Flight S are quite good wireless gaming headphones. They're comfortable, have very low non-Bluetooth latency, and have outstanding battery life. There are four mappable buttons on the left ear cup that can be programmed to do a wide range of functions, from media controls to launching programs if used on a PC. Their microphone is very good, and your voice will sound full-bodied and clear. While their sound profile is decently balanced, unfortunately, their software doesn't support any EQ adjustments.

Save for a couple of minor issues, this is one of the strongest and most attractive wireless headset packages to arrive in a while.

Jabra's Evolve 75 Bluetooth headset is certified for Skype for Business, offers noise cancellation, and delivers strong mic clarity, though it could be easier to operate.

The Microsoft Surface Headphones are good for commuting and traveling. They have a good ANC feature that reduces engine rumbles by quite a lot, but they're a bit bulky since they're over-ears. If you don’t mind their size, they're a good option for your daily commute. They're also quite comfortable for long flights, but the shallow cups might not be a good fit for everyone.

The Astro A20 are decent wireless gaming headphones. They have a good microphone that sounds clear even in noisier environments, a solid 14-hour battery life with power-saving features, and are customizable in the Astro Command Center. On the downside, they fit a little tight on the head and sound a bit sharp out-of-the-box, which means they can be a bit fatiguing to wear during long gaming marathons.
