1. AKG K 701

Best headsets for gaming and music [Top 7 Guide] 1 — **AKG K 701**

The AKG K 701 is an extremely good sounding headset with an awesome price-to-performance ratio. It has no integrated microphone. There exist several clip-on microphones that you can buy for a low price. This combination delivers better results than many headsets with an integrated microphone.

Advantages

Awesome price-to-performance ratio
Very broad stage
Extremely neutral, high-resolution reproduction
Nicely ligthweighted
Needs no headphone amplifier, low complex impedance
Ideal for films due to its spatiality

Disadvantages

Headgear can press uncomfortably after some time because of the knobs
Too little bass for bass freaks
No integrated microphone (just buy an additional microphone that you clip onto your cable)

2. SteelSeries flagship headset: Arctis Pro Wireless Gaming Headset

Best headsets for gaming and music [Top 7 Guide] 2 — SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless

A top headset is the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless. In my opinion, it is the best looking headset of all gaming brands. But, of course, this is subjective.

Advantages

The sound quality its amazing! If you have speakers with optical exit, you can put that on your adapter and have sound on your headphone and your speakers
The distance on which they work are amazing as well. You can go all around the house without loosing connection and even the mic is great.
Noise cancelling is very good. Others have to scream until you hear them, though.
Chatmix ability lowers game and discord sound from transmitter without leaving game.
Take calls when playing by connecting to your phone over Bluethooth

Disadvantages

The headset may not very comfy for people with big ears or big heads
The joints between the cans and head piece seems weak due to it being made of plastic. Better don’t drop it
Very expensive

3. Bang & Olufsen flagship headset: Beoplay H9i

Best headsets for gaming and music [Top 7 Guide] 3 — Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9i

Very aesthetic design and also high price offers the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9i. If I have to buy a new headset and could choose between all the presented solutions, I would buy this one.

Advantages

Sound quality is CRISP
Noise canceling is awesome
Great call quality, has some low volume positive feedback, so you can hear yourself and any possible background noise
Battery life is great, not as good as the h8s, but who needs 30 hours of battery life when you can easily plug them into your mac charger to charge them up
Bluetooth is very strong, and you can connect to multiple devices. For techies this is great
Customizable sound settings let you choose the sound you like best
The design is classy, they look good

Disadvantages

They’re large and loose.
The proximity sensor seems like a nice feature, but it doesn’t work very well, resulting in my music pausing when the headphones are still on my head
Maximum volume isn’t very high, but they are loud enough that it shouldn’t be a major issue unless you’re hard of hearing or really wanna jam out
The touch sensor on the ear cuff isn’t very sensitive, doesn’t work with cold hands, and the volume up/down is hard to stimulate; however, transparency mode works very well, and the touch feature is much improved over the manual functions on the h8’s
The headphones didn’t come with enough instruction and details on the product

4. Bowers&Wilkins P7 Wireless

Best headsets for gaming and music [Top 7 Guide] 4 — Bowers&Wilkins P7 Wireless

After almost 10 headphones in the last 3 years, the P7 Wireless version managed to replace the P7 without adding a weakness to the already very good P7. On the contrary, as already mentioned in various tests, the P7 Wireless via Bluetooth sounds almost even better than directly on the iPad or (worse) iPhone.

Advantages

Excellent spatial sound
Firm fit, good noise shielding
Very low noise
Solid workmanship

Disadvantages

Somewhat old-fashioned design
Long wearing can be exhausting

Best headsets for gaming and music [Top 7 Guide] 5 — Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series II)

The Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series II) has over 2600 customer reviews that are overall very very positive. That pledges for the Bose headset.

Best for phone calls (those on other end don’t hear much background noise)
The headset is extremely light and comfortable. You will forget you are wearing it.

Disadvantages

Sound is missing crispness at high and low ends
Overall sounds are a bit muffled

6. Sennheiser flagship headset: GSP 550

Best headsets for gaming and music [Top 7 Guide] 6 — Sennheiser GSP 550

The Sennheiser GSP 550 is not so well-known in the gamer scene. But it’s definitely worth a look. For some people, they can get quite painful to wear after a while, though. Sound quality is, of course, extremely good.

Advantages

The materials look and feel durable, cleanly finished and well assembled. There were no burrs in the plastic or weird seam alignment to be found
Superior sound quality. If you play FPS games, you know that sound location for events and other characters can be a critical aspect of play, and this set makes it very easy and intuitive to hear “where” things are going on ingame.
It also works well for listening to music

Disadvantages

After a while they can get quite painful to wear
