A helicopter circles overhead. The harsh stutter of automatic weapons crackles in the distance, but what you're most concerned about right now is the crunch of boots on gravel. Someone—friend or foe—is approaching. A high-quality headset can help you precisely identify the location of those audio cues. Crisp, clear sound can mean the difference between life and death when you're gaming, rendering your headset as vital to your virtual well-being as any weapon. We put five headsets—the Logitech G430, the Ozone Rage ST, the Astro A40 with MixAmp Pro (2013 edition), the SteelSeries Flux In-Ear Pro, and the SteelSeries Siberia Elites—over our ears and under the gun to evaluate their comfort and quality. Each headset is dedicated to making games an immersive experience and giving the user a leg up on rival gamers. Read the full reviews to see which ones are worth strapping to your noggin. The SteelSeries Sibera Elites are comfortable and look awesome. When choosing a gaming headset, the crucial consideration is long-lasting comfort for marathon gaming sessions. Superb sound quality doesn’t matter if you can’t stand to have the contraption on your head for more than an hour. Headphones need to be light and ergonomically cushioned, and they need to sit on your head without irritation as you game the night away.
