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

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

- 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

6. Razer flagship headset: Razer ManO’War
![Best Headsets with Mic under 1000 [Top 8 Guide] 6](http://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B01DPS4QQ2&Format=_SL1000_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=digital0e4-20&language=en_US "Best Headsets with Mic under 1000 [Top 8 Guide] 13")
An example of the Razer design and manufacturing is the Razer ManO’War headset. In my humble opinion, there are several better headsets from different brands considering the costs. But here are the pros and contras.
Advantages
- Great sound overall, we are talking about virtual sound.
- Customization that can be done: Lights, sound and microphone
- Excellent sound
- Excellent connectivity (you can walk quite far away before it disconnects)
- Microphone is good quality
very comfortable for long periods - the microphone mute light is visible when in use (and not distracting)
- bass is good for wireless headphones
Disadvantages
- Bulky, they are huge
- Plastic top seems very fragile, hopefully they do not brake
- Battery live seems too low for been fully charge.
- Cables to charge the headset, for me, they do not work well. They keep getting disconnecting from PC if they are moved, you heard the sound on the PC when you connect and disconnect something.
- The volume/mute toggles are adequate – feel cheap, but do the job
- Bundled software is average
- The battery indicator can be inaccurate/hard to update
- There are quite a few updates that don’t seem to change anything

7. Turtle Beach flagship headset: Ear Force Elite 800

One of the most popular gaming headsets is the HyperX Cloud Stinger. It has over 2600 customer reviews and offers one of the best performance under 50.
Advantages
- Realistic Surround Sound
- Noise Cancelling and seal around your ear
- Easy Setup
- Optical in and Out
- Nice and easy to use charging cradle
- Lots of sound options: Full and mostly realistic bass sound
- There is audible feedback when you press buttons to change settings on the head phones
- Bluetooth allows you to have the freedom of not having to connect to your controller
Disadvantages
- They are larger and heavier than your might expect
- The USB and Optical Cables have to be connected in order for it to work. Probably not Turtle Beaches fault. Not sure why Playstation does not simply allow you to use any bluetooth headset with their system.
- On-ear volume adjuster could be could be of better quality. As you adjust the volume, it does not adjust evenly on both sides. Then again, the ear adjuster is mainly for a bit of fine-tuning on the fly. If possible, leave the ear slider wide open and adjust predominately on your device.
Turtle Beach - Ear Force Elite 800 - Premium Fully Wireless Gaming Headset - DTS Headphone:X 7.1 Surround Sound - Noise Cancellation - Superhuman Hearing - PS4, PS3, and Mobile Devices

The next headset of the 5 is the ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Dolby Gaming Headset. It’s quite a contrary headset to the SteelSeries Arctic. With the SteelSeries Arctic the sound quality is amazing, the comfort might not for people with big ears or big heads. In contrast to that, the ASTRO A50 offers amazing comfort but the sound quality is not for audiophiles. So both headsets are quite contrary.

- Base stand has came a long ways and the new style is very nice
- Two ways to charge (magnetic base or by USB)
Disadvantages
- Expensive
- Not for audiophiles. If you are an audiophile you will be unhappy with the sound, go back and buy your “stereo” headset.
- Regarding the software, the average user might not be able utilize it to its fullest
- Loud volume does indeed bleed out. However, they sell a kit to silence it.
