Confirm platform support: Xbox needs Xbox-specific wireless headsets. Comfort matters most for long sessions; check weight and clamp. A clear microphone is what your teammates hear, so it is worth paying attention to.
Wired headsets with a 3.5 mm plug do. Wireless ones need Bluetooth, which only some models include. Virtual surround can help with footsteps in shooters, but good stereo with clear positioning is enough for most players.
Gaming headsets see frequent discounts around Prime Day and Black Friday. Check that the version you buy matches your console, since Xbox and PlayStation versions differ.
Across the gaming headsets we cover, typical prices run from $39 to $249. Store prices change often, so treat these as typical ranges and check the current price before you buy.
