There are certain brands that you know will deliver exceptional audio quality. Sennheiser is definitely one of them, and the EPOS Sennheiser GAME ONE gaming headset certainly delivers on the brand name.

One of the first things you'll note is the Game One's design. There aren't any flashing RGB strips here, just sleek black with an occasional red streak. The headset uses a lightweight design, featuring extra-large velvet on-ear pads that allow some breathability. The outside of the headset also features a handy volume control dial.

While the headset is extremely comfy, it lacks in other areas. The Game One doesn't include any surround sound, for example. While that doesn't detract from the audio quality, it does find it wanting in comparison to other gaming headsets. In that, you sense that while the EPOS Sennheiser Game One targets gamers, it doesn't stick within those lines.

The Audio-Technica ATH-ADG1X brings Audio-Technica's reputation for audio quality to wired PC gaming headsets---and the result is brilliant. They pack 53mm drivers---larger than any other headset on the list---into an open-air headset design.
The open-air take on the PC gaming headset keeps you cool without compromising on sound quality. It looks really cool, too. Among all of the PC gaming headsets you can find, wired or not, the Audio-Technica ATH-ADG1X provides some of the best in-game sound quality you can hope to find.
Although it isn't spatial sound, the high-fidelity audio more than makes up for it. Also, the microphone is of excellent recording quality. Streamers and content producers could use the integrated microphone to produce quality content without worrying about the final product. Finally, the Audio-Technica ATH-ADG1X comes with a decent 1.2m cable, complete with in-line audio controls.

Next up is another option from a classic PC gaming audio manufacturer, the HyperX Cloud Revolver S. Most HyperX gaming headsets follow a similar design. The HyperX Cloud Revolver S is no different, sticking within HyperX's formula of incredibly comfy earphones, crisp sound quality, and a bunch of handy audio control options.

The HyperX Cloud Revolver S comes with 50mm drivers equipped with Plug N Play Dolby Virtual Surround 7.1 audio. What does that mean, exactly? Well, in basic terms, it means you'll experience all of the joy of virtual surround sound without the hassle of installing and configuring software on your PC. And less time installing software means more time gaming!

On top of that, the HyperX Cloud Revolver S offers you exceptional audio control. The clippable USB audio controller gives you easy-to-access audio controls, while there are several equalizer modes designed with specific game types in mind.

Comfort-wise, the Cloud Revolver S line continues HyperX's long history of lightweight, high-quality earphones, complete with a wider headband for added stability and protection during long PC gaming sessions.

The Razer Kraken Tournament Edition is available in eye-catching luminous green or sleek and professional black, adding a strong flash of color to the roster. The Tournament Edition is a wired headset, using either a USB or a standard 3.5mm connection with in-line volume and microphone controller.

The Razer Kraken Tournament Edition has some excellent audio features that should catch your eye (or ear, as it were). You can switch on THX Spatial 7.1 surround sound to create incredible in-game immersion. The inclusion of the THX Spatial sound is perfect for PC gamers who can use the spatial sound to react quicker and gain an edge over their competitors.

There are two other Razer Kraken Tournament Edition features to consider. First, Razer includes a USB DAC (digital-to-analog controller) that you can keep on your desk while gaming for easy volume control and audio tweaking as a really handy extra. Second is the microphone, which retracts into the bottom of the headset. You can slip the microphone away when not gaming, but you won't lose it in the meantime.

The green color isn't too everyone's taste, that's for sure (there is an all-black version, too). But the 50mm drivers, gel-infusion ear cushions, and spatial surround sound make the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition a great wired PC gaming headset.

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC is an award-winning PC gaming headset, combining outstanding audio quality with RGB lighting, surround sound gaming, and a retractable microphone. It also comes with a powerful dedicated DAC and amp for additional volume and audio quality control.

Under the hood, the SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC packs an impressive frequency range that works in conjunction with the DTS Headphone: X v2.0 spatial sound technology. The result is an immersive PC gaming experience where you can lose yourself in the sounds or use positional cues to beat out your opponents.

SteelSeries headsets carry a serious reputation for quality and comfort, and the Arctis Pro fully lives up to that name. However, there are a couple of things to note. For one, the use of premium materials means the Arctis Pro is one of the heaviest PC gaming headsets around, coming in at 0.52kg. Half a kilogram doesn't sound much, but it is something to consider for long gaming sessions.

The second consideration is the slightly short USB connection cable. For PC gaming at a desk, you'll be fine, but other setups may have to find a workaround (or opt for the SteelSeries Arctis Pro wireless version).

The Corsair HS50 Pro are an excellent option for kids looking for their first PC gaming headset. You won't find flashy features, like Bluetooth or surround sound, with the Corsair HS50 Pro.

What you will find, however, is a great set of wired PC gaming headphones that you can use for hours on end. And after all, isn't that precisely what you want---no, need---from a PC gaming headset?

The Discord-Certified HS50 Pro PC gaming headset packs in custom-tuned 50mm drivers, memory-foam earphones, and lightweight design. The microphone is fully detachable and noise-canceling---just make sure you keep an eye on it when you take it off.

Amazon customers review the Corsair HS50 Pro well, but many mention a "narrow hinge between the metal core of the band and the earpiece" that can break easily. That's something worth bearing in mind!

Okay, your final wired gaming headset is the excellent Razer Kraken Kitty, a pink affair with RGB kitty ears on the headband. If the inclusion of quartz pink kitty ears wasn't enough, the lights in the ears are fully customizable and can even sync to the rest of your Razer RGB color scheme via Chroma.

So, color scheme out of the way, let's talk about the headset. Which, you'll be pleased to note, provides excellent audio quality by way of the THX Spatial 7.1 surround sound delivered through the 50mm drivers. It also features on-earcup audio controls, as well as a toggle for the THX surround sound.

The earpads themselves feature the same cooling gel as the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition, making them great for a prolonged gaming session. Adding to that, the pads are soft, and the headset weighs in at 400g.

If the pink is too much, but you dig the light up cat ears, there is an alternative version available in black and green.
