Picking the Best Gaming Headset

By Exeo Entertainment / Post / October 23, 2015

Sound is a key elements that most people overlook if they are a casual, or even a serious, gamer. We can all agree that brilliant visuals are usually what set a video game apart, but the sound is what completes the gaming experience. That is why it is so important to invest in a decent headset. Let’s take a look at why this is so important.

Choosing a headset is based on personal preference, so it’s very important to know what details you’re looking for before you make any purchases. However, here are some things for you to be aware of.

Platform

It is important to consider the platform on which you play your video games on when purchasing your headset. There are headsets that communicate better with an Xbox rather than a PS4, and vice versa. Make sure that you find one that contains the highest quality with regards to the platform of your choice. Keep in mind that there are many headsets that are cross-market and will provide you with the best sound for all platforms.

Comfort

If you are like us and play for hours on end, it is important to make sure that your headset gives you comfort that will last. Even though most companies try to provide every product with some degree of comfort, some fall short of achieving this. Everyone is different and prefers their headset to fit a certain way. As you are testing out different brands consider the size of your headset. It can be frustrating to invest in a headset, only to find out that it is too big or too small. One size does not fit all!

Durability

After you decide on the size and comfort level of your headset, it is just as important to consider the headset’s durability. You will want something that will last through the years and unfortunately, that usually means more money. However, if you decide to invest in a more expensive headset, chances are, a few years down the road you will be grateful you did. Deciding what brand of headset to purchase can be stressful enough the first time. The more money you invest in your headset, the higher the chance there won’t have to be a second time.

Sound quality

Superior sound is a “must have” when it comes to choosing the right gaming headset. The difference between being completely in the game and simply just going through the motions, comes down to sound quality. Lightning reactions to sound queues like footsteps, gunfire and scenario indicators give you the competitive edge you need to take your game to the next level.

There are lots of headsets out there to choose from. Hopefully, if you consider these four things, you will find the perfect headset for your personal gaming experience. Maybe that’s a Psyko headset from Exeo Entertainment!
