SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Review: Still the Premium Headset to Beat?
Best forPC and PlayStation players who want one do-it-all headset
The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is still the headset we would hand to most players with a PC and a PlayStation: the hot-swap batteries remove battery anxiety, the base station makes game and chat mixing easy, and Sonar gives deep EQ control. The noise cancellation is only good, not great, and the earcups are bulky on small heads. Buy it if you want one set for everything. Skip it if you want the best ANC.

Razer BlackShark V3 Pro Review: The Esports Headset With the Better Mic
Best forCompetitive PC and console players who talk a lot on comms
This is the wireless headset we would hand to a competitive player first. The mic is clear, the 2.4 GHz link is fast, battery life is excellent, and the tuning keeps footsteps and gunfire easy to place. The ANC is only decent, music is less exciting than on a bass-heavy rival, and $249.99 is not cheap.

HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Review: Battery Life Is the Headline at $179.99
Best forPC and PS5 players who want comfort and weeks of battery
The best-value wireless headset for PC, PlayStation, Switch and phone players who hate charging. It runs about 113 hours on 2.4GHz in independent testing, feels light and padded, and sounds cleaner than the older Cloud III. The boom mic is thin, there is no Xbox support and no noise cancelling, so skip it if you need those.

Audeze Maxwell 2 Review: Do 90mm Planar Drivers Really Change How Games Sound?
Best forPlayers who care about sound and music as much as chat
The Maxwell 2 is the best-sounding wireless gaming headset we know of, with clear bass control, wide imaging and a battery that lasts. It is a modest step over the original Maxwell, and the weight and microphone hold it back, so owners of the first model should stay put.

Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II Review: Best Multi-Console Headset, With a Headband We Would Fix
Best forHouseholds sharing one headset across a PC and several consoles
For a home with a PC, a PlayStation and an Xbox, nothing switches between them as easily as the Stealth Pro II. Two swappable 40-hour batteries, a very good detachable mic and solid ANC justify most of the $349.99. The weak points are a thin headband that tires you after about two hours and a build we do not fully trust. Great for short, serious sessions.

Logitech G Pro X3 Lightspeed Review: A Great Mic and a 70-Hour Battery, but No ANC at $249.99
Best forCompetitive players who talk a lot in voice chat
The Pro X3 Lightspeed is a comfortable headset with punchy graphene-driver sound, a clearly better detachable mic and a 70-hour battery. It is also a $249.99 headset with no noise cancelling, no simultaneous Bluetooth and no EQ switching on the cups. Buy it for competitive play and voice chat. If you want features for the money, others offer more.
