It was previously sat in the number one spot but with the Cloud Alpha Wireless offering similarly excellent audio but with an absolute massive battery, we gave it to HyperX cans. The wired Razer BlackShark V2 is our favorite gaming headset (opens in new tab) and the wireless 'Pro' version takes all of the best bits from those excellent headphones and snips off the cable.

Read our full HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless review (opens in new tab). They're pricey, but within reason for their specs, and they certainly deliver on everything you could want for gaming, and listening to music, on your PC. Though all things considered, I struggle to imagine a customer who wouldn't be happy with these as a wireless gaming headset. Sadly, the mic is your fairly standard affair and while it will work just fine for chat in games, it's very basic and uninspired when it comes to sound quality. This coupled with the equally soft ear cups makes for a very cozy experience, and does an excellent job of blocking out noise. The top band is thick and has soft padding underneath. I'm someone who struggles with too much weight or tightness on my head, and I have a real sensitivity to uncomfortable headsets. The Cloud line is always touted for comfort and despite the hefty battery this still definitely fits the bill. If you've ever wanted to know what it sounds like having a Cacodemon suddenly show up and whisper sweet blah-things into very specifically your left ear then these can absolutely deliver. I loaded up some Doom Eternal and promptly terrified myself. I was able to easily locate hidden batteries by directional beeps in Deep Rock Galactic, and had a wonderful time bouncing along to the tight beats of Shadow Warrior 3. When playing games the directional sound is also very nice. These do an excellent job, and are definitely one of the better gaming headsets I've used to listen to music on. It's always fun to listen to some of my favourite sound heavy songs on a good pair of cans and try to pick the different instruments or bites used.

If you're a serious audiophile whose primary focus is music instead of gaming, you should check out our picks for the best headphones for gaming (opens in new tab) (they're not just for gaming). The real bargains will be found in the best gaming headsets guide, but they won't provide the magical air of freedom the ones below will.

But it's worth noting that often a Bluetooth connection is used only for a battery-saving option, because as a gamer you're going to want to go for an essentially lag-free 2.4GHz connection instead. I'm glad I'm seeing more headsets featuring Bluetooth connectivity, since it frees up a USB slot that would be taken up by a wireless dongle, and you can connect your phone to them. But don't be surprised if you see some premium headsets offering literally hundreds of hours of battery life. The best gaming headsets I've tested will last a few days on a single charge-30 hours of battery life is a decent starting point.

That's because alongside fantastic audio quality, it bares two of the most important features wireless gaming headsets need: a flawless connection and a great battery life. Right now the best gaming headset is the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless (opens in new tab).
