Product Information

Bluetooth has made great strides in the last few years, but proprietary wireless connections generally offer better audio quality, faster response, and a stronger signal. Proprietary wireless connections are typically designed for only one console, or one console and a PC; you must choose between Xbox and PlayStation models for most wireless gaming headsets. You need a good headset (or gaming headphones, if you prefer) for online gaming. Without one, you won't have a reliable way to trash-talk the competition or coordinate strategies with your team or guild. Surprisingly, gaming headsets are good tools for your home office, too. Compatibility: PS4, PS5, PC | Connectivity: Wireless dongle | Drivers: 50mm | Battery life: 16 hours | Weight: 256g

Compatibility: PS5, PC, Xbox | Connectivity: 3.5mm | Drivers: high-fidelity 28-ohm drivers | Battery Life: N/A | Weight: 290g So game devs didnt want to pay license fees to Creative Labs / Asus / other dedicated soundcard makers so game audio is now processed on the CPU Microsoft's adoption of spatial codecs is linked to their Xbox One. It is over simplification but both current consoles seem to utilise a small part of their Jaguar CPU (Sony's Mark Cerny during the PS5 unveiling talked about currently having half a Jaguar CPU core or less for their current 3D audio solution, itself less power than they had for audio with the PS3's cell processor - something Digital Foundry mentioned). Microsoft's 3D spatial solutions (Sonic/Atmos) are limited to a small number of 32 objects due to CPU limits. The approaches have been different though; Sony's hardware only 3D audio Platinum Wireless Headset for Days Gone, Horizon ZD or Uncharted 4. With Microsoft selling licenses for third-party technology beyond their own free solution; Dolby Atmos/DTS. All seem to produce similarly impressive results but the number of games supported has generation has been dire.The Beyerdynamic MMX 100 is as close to perfection as a wired gaming headset can get thanks to its impressive sound, comfort, and build quality. The X is a worthy addition to the Kraken range, and it impresses with that virtual 7.1 surround sound and low price. However, it drops the ball with a non-detachable mic. Equalizer APO with the HeSuVi plugin (free): This free and open-source tool aims to imitate the surround effect of Dolby, DTS, Sonic, Razer, CMSS-3D, and plenty of other implementations. It can, however, be a bit complex to set up, depending on your hardware. The headsets on this list are chosen from the dozens the PC Gamer hardware team and myself have tested. Between us we've got decades of experience of the best and worst audio gear ever made.The top headsets offer the best sound for gamers at each end of the budget spectrum. Quality drivers ensure you get the best audio, and we're against gaming headphones that overdo low frequencies, as it provides terrible bass response in most cases. The best gaming headsets offer more balance drivers that require minimal tweaking on your end, and you won't need to spend hundreds of dollars. But just because the surround sound you hear on a gaming headset is fake, doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy it or doubt its ability to create an immersive environment.

Anyway some, like me, had one copy of the game on console and one on the PC. And the audio on the PC was horrific when compared console to say the least. That sparked a huge thread over there and Dice's Audio Department decided to chime in and explain the process. More or less it was there that I learned that gaming developers didn't want to license Creative Labs for audio. They found a way to use a 4 core 8 thread CPU to do audio (I think using no more then 2-4 threads total) and get a "similar" experience, limited to 16 bit only, referring it as software audio vs hardware audio using the sound card. Needless to say that ended well, LOL. This is going on memory though. If problem was flaws in DirectSound, like Microsoft's stinky excuse claims, then why didn't Microsoft dictate new better HW sound processing API for Windows?Frostbite sound files are produced at source 24 bit 96khz uncompressed PCM, dithered down to 16bit 48khz and compressed to .cas files in the engine to keep all the sound files at realistic sizes. You can extract the raw files with Python 2.7.6 as per here instructions here https://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19074 if you want to confirm for yourself and then analyse them with any modern capable DAW. Again, there are others out there, but this should be more than enough to get you started. Each solution is a little different, which gives you a lot of options. Try it with different games, too—you might like different solutions for different titles.

As an added benefit, the sound card enables audio tweaks through Razer Synapse that aren't available on headsets connected only through a 3.5mm cable. It enables many headphone and microphone audio tweaks, so you can get the best sound in both directions. That said, the V2 sounds excellent out of the box. Who It's For I’ve been PCMag’s home entertainment expert for over 10 years, covering both TVs and everything you might want to connect to them. I’ve reviewed more than a thousand different consumer electronics products including headphones, speakers, TVs, and every major game system and VR headset of the last decade. I’m an ISF-certified TV calibrator and a THX-certified home theater professional, and I’m here to help you understand 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and even 8K (and to reassure you that you don’t need to worry about 8K at all for at least a few more years).It's a wireless gaming headset with a USB transmitter, designed for use with PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4/5 (there's a Penrose X version with an Xbox-friendly transmitter, if you game on Microsoft consoles). It has Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a 3.5mm wired connection option. Who It's For Now while surround sound on a headset is cool, it's not exactly the same as having a real multi-speaker system, like some of the best soundbars offer. In fact, the majority of gaming headsets employ virtual surround sound—which is to say they're faking it with mathematical algorithms.
