A lot of PC gamers focus on buying the best PC games or the latest monitors to fulfill their gaming needs. But, when it comes to sound, they usually end up buying an inferior quality headset or nothing at all. This is because PC gaming headsets are optional. Besides, many of these gamers are not aware of the immersive and top quality sound that these headsets are capable of providing.
That’s why we decided to test a couple of PC gaming headsets that are currently available in the market. We used as many as 10 popular headsets and tested them on various parameters including ease of use, sound quality and of course overall performance. However, after personally assessing each of these headsets, we found that Razer ManO’War and SteelSeries Arctis Pro were definitely the winners. So, if you are a gamer who is looking for the best sound quality and enhanced experience, while playing your favorite PC games, then check out our review to find out more.
Razer ManO’War
Why Razer ManO’War?
Well, if you need an easy or quick to set up PC gaming headset that also offers exceptional surround sound, then Razer ManO’War is undoubtedly a great choice.
Although it is a bit bulky, but you will love the fact that it comes with no wires attached (i.e. a wireless interface). Some of the other features of the headset include 7.1 software based surround sound, 14m range with an extender and (12m without one), multi-color lighting. One of the nicest aspects of this headset is that is very easy and quick to set up.
User-friendly and Features Galore
The headset is very user-friendly and you’ll love its soft leather based ear cups for the comfort that they offer throughout your gaming sessions. In fact, we used them for extended hours and never experienced any kind of discomfort while wearing them. Another attractive thing about the headset is its RGB lighting feature. You can use the Razer Synapse to customize the lighting in case you want to. The one feature that you will definitely appreciate about Razer ManO’War is its 7.1 surround sound capability. It offers an amazing immersive sound quality that one is unlikely to find in other headsets. The headset’s battery life can be easily stretched to around 14 hours.
Overall, we found the headset impressive both in terms of sound and looks.
SteelSeries Arctis Pro
Why SteelSeries Arctic Pro?
The SteelSeries Arctis Pro was yet another headset that met all our performance, sound and quality criteria. The headset offers value for money and exceptional performance.
It features high-resolution components an amazing design. The headset is meant for people who seek performance and customization capabilities. In fact, we recommend the Arctis Pro for the versatility and flexibility that it is capable of providing to the users.
Stylish, Sleek and Clear Sound
Some of the many features that we liked about the headset were its mic that offers clear and high-quality sound, its sleek, stylish and professional design and the high-resolution sound that allows gamers to customize the sound settings. What’s even better is that you can do all that fine-tuning, including enhancing the headset’s surround sound capabilities, without downloading any additional software. The headset gels well with almost all types of gaming consoles, using either a 3.5mm wired option or a wireless USB.
In a nutshell, if you want the best headset for enhanced gaming experience, then Arctic Pro is undoubtedly an exciting option.
