Best gaming headset?

[mattimatt12]

As the title says, i want the best headset for gaming. I want a comfortable headset with, good sound, mic, noise reducing/cancellation, 7.1 and it does not matter if it is wired or not. Also the price does not matter. Which should i buy and why?
(sorry for my bad english.)

Kingston HyperX Cloud II is considered one of the better gaming headsets out there, if not the best:

I can't find the list, but iirc tomshardware named it the best gaming headset. Not including all the super high end audiophile expensive ones.

Here is a list of the best headsets is price is not a issue:

Kingston HyperX Cloud II (always been a solid option) - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SAYCXWG/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d16_i5?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=0X8WY8XDG2PHVCEPWP89&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=1970559082&pf_rd_i=desktop

Steelseries H Wireless - http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-Surround/dp/B00G6IJ5NI/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423968977&sr=1-1&keywords=steelseries+h

Steelseries Siberia Elite Prism - http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Siberia-Elite-Gaming-Headset-Jet/dp/B00MSOEWQY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423969033&sr=1-1&keywords=steelseries+elite+prism

Astro A50 (to me it's ok) - http://www.amazon.com/ASTRO-Gaming-Wireless-Headset-Xbox-360/dp/B0091WIOJ2/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423969070&sr=1-2&keywords=astro+a50

But I recommend you to get headphones + mic/modmic for the best experience compared to a headset (I have experience), and to make it better, get a sound card. If you're interested I can recommend you some headphones and a mic.

Hope this helps!

AKG Q 701 (pretty good for gaming) - http://www.amazon.com/AKG-Signature-Reference-Class-Premium-Headphones/dp/B004444OFK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424019228&sr=8-2&keywords=akg

Those are the best headphones in the $200 range, if you're willing to spend more which is not recommended unless you are a big audiophile you can ask me. I also forgot to recommend the Sennheiser G4ME ONE which is also a great headset, but like I said, you will get the best experience out of headphones + a mic of some sort. If you have a good sound card already you'll be having a great headset, if not get something like the Xonar DSX which is a cheap but good sound card.

If he went with the DT 990 Pro 250 ohm he would also need a headphone amp to drive them.

True, I forgot that. (trying to get everything from my head to the computer and I must have forgotten something 😀)

I found that Logitech G231 is the best solution for PC gaming for me.

Pros: Long wire, comfortable, mic wire, best for PC
Cons: None yet
