The Razer BlackShark V2 is easily the best wired headset on Xbox Series X, but it’s also one of the best in general if you play competitive titles. Other premium features include a dedicated volume control knob on the headset, a detachable microphone, and a windscreen for the microphone. The gripping force is a little tighter than other gaming headsets, but with a weight of just 262 grams, that’s easy to forgive. Additionally, the mic is supported by an included USB sound card, allowing you to access features like a mic EQ, ambient noise reduction, and a voice gate.Ĭomfort is excellent, too. The microphone doesn’t suffer from compression in the same way as other headset microphones, offering more vocal clarity at higher frequencies. The result is clearer audio around crossover points, such as the low-mids, where other headsets see a significant drop in frequency response.Įqually as important as sound quality is microphone quality, and the BlackSharks don’t disappoint there. Additionally, Razer uses separate tuning ports for high, low, and mid frequencies.

The dual 50mm Razer Triforce titanium drivers are excellent at positioning audio around the soundscape. As such, the BlackShark V2 is all about performance. The Razer BlackShark V2 is a competitive gaming headset with a design much more reminiscent of earmuffs than a gaming headset. With large cushions on each of the earcups and a sliver of cushioning on top, the A10s are still very comfortable, even for long gaming sessions. Not that you should worry about comfort too much. Comfort is a little worse as a result, but durability is vastly improved (there are simply fewer points of failure). Instead of trying to cram multiple adjustment points around a plastic body, Astro went with a single point of adjustment: Up and down on the ear cups. Like all budget headsets, the A10s use almost exclusively plastic. What really stands out is this headset’s build quality. The dual 40mm drivers are tuned by Astro for gaming, which is a process each headset undertakes, from the $50 Astro A10s to the $300 Astro A50s.Īdditionally, the headset comes with a uni-directional microphone with flip-to-mute functionality and a detachable 3.5mm cable, ensuring you can continue using the headset even if the cable breaks.
Starting with sound, the Astro A10s can go against the best of them. There are certainly cheaper headsets than the Astro A10, but none of them match the build quality, features, and performance of Astro’s entry-level headset.

However, they support Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos for Headphones on Xbox Series X. Like all gaming headsets, the Stealth 700s are stereo. The large 50mm drivers handle bass better than most other gaming headsets, and they help position sound around the soundscape. The earcups are nice and plump, too, fit with memory foam infused with Aerofit cooling gel.Īudio-wise, the Stealth 700s are excellent. The headrest is still reinforced with metal, and although it doesn’t feature a suspended headband, there’s still plenty of cushioning on top. Thankfully, that doesn’t lead to a cheaper feel. The Turtle Beach headset uses more plastics. The main difference between the Stealth 700s and the Arctis Nova is the build quality. Like the Arctis pair, the Stealth 700s support simultaneous Bluetooth, too, so you can take calls or listen to music while playing on your Xbox. It works with Windows PCs, too, as long as you have an Xbox Wireless Adapter. The headset supports native wireless with Xbox One, Series X, and Series S, no dongle is required. When it comes to features, the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 headset matches the Arctis Nova and does so at $50 cheaper. Additionally, the headset comes with a Discord-certified ClearCast gen 2 microphone that you can retract back into the headset.

The headset itself is stereo, but you can use Windows Sonic Spatial Audio or Dolby Atmos for Headphones on your Xbox Series X to achieve virtual surround sound.Įxternally, the Arctis Nova Pro features SteelSeries’ signature suspended headband - which is very comfortable, even after hours of playing - and large, plushy ear cups. The wide soundscape of the Arctis Nova Pro gives players much more positional awareness in games and, combined with a digital surround sound solution, even more so.
Although the frequency range doesn’t reach as high as some audiophile-class headsets, it can still hold its own in the sound department. Internally, the Arctis Nova Pro uses 40mm neodymium drivers with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz. Even better, you can simultaneously connect another device to the headset via Bluetooth. It can connect directly to your Xbox Series X. Unlike a lot of gaming headsets, you don’t need an adapter with the Arctis Nova Pro. The SteelSeries Arctis Pro headset currently tops our picks for the best gaming headsets.
