Wireless Headsets - The New Normal
Headsets aren't usually the first thing we buy when we get new gaming consoles or desktop computers. Nonetheless, when it comes to buying a headset, we often buy whatever looks fancy, stylish or simply pick between a few products without really understanding their capabilities completely.
When making your purchase you can opt for regular headsets or a headset with a microphone. Unlike headphones, a headset with a microphone can be used for two-way communication making them well worth your money. Often used by gamers, these innovative headsets support clearer communication with other players throughout a gaming session. A headset with a microphone also has to be able to enable people on both ends of the phone call to clearly hear one another no matter how loud it is around you.
As technology has become more advanced, VR headsets have also emerged as the next generation of gaming and entertainment, offering a truly immersive experience that lets you explore game worlds and environments like never before.
List of things to keep in mind when choosing your headset:
1. Audio Quality
The best wireless headsets guarantee high-quality audio. If you plan to use your headset to listen to music, mobile gaming or view movies on the go, then the JBL Quantum 50 Wired In-Ear Gaming Headset is a perfect choice as it has great voice quality and ergonomic technology. This set is also compatible with all gaming platforms and comes with volume control buttons.
2. Comfort
Beyond the quality of sound, comfort is just as important when choosing the best headset. Look for a pair that sits comfortably around your ears, is lightweight, and fits perfectly over your head.
3. Active Noise Cancellation
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is a technology that uses a special microphone to detect noise and neutralise them. This effectively means that any external noise is virtually non-existent. ANC in headsets are best if you're listening to music as it helps to filter out any unwanted background noises and makes your audio more enjoyable. It is also helpful for those who work from home and need to be on virtual calls.
4. Bluetooth Capability
If you want the best sound quality and freedom of movement without the hassle of wires tangling up or falling out, then go for a wireless and bluetooth-enabled headset. Bluetooth headsets are more affordable than ever, and they are a convenient way to remain hands-free while driving.
5. Durability
In general, over-ear headsets are constructed to be quite tough while giving you better comfort with good sound clarity. The most important thing to consider is how tough the cord of your headset is because it will experience lots of wear and tear with use.
6. Virtual Reality Headsets
If you're an avid gamer who's still on the fence about buying the best VR headset, we strongly recommend investing in an Oculus Quest 2 – especially if you want to be able to play in a fully immersive 3D environment from the comfort of your own home. This wireless VR headset gives you a chance to experience true VR as it transports you to a new dimension.
