Audeze Maxwell Wireless
A 2023 addition to the ranks, the Audeze Maxwell Wireless headset already has fans. A monumental 80-plus hours of battery is one reason, but mostly it’s because of the sound. Audeze incorporated their newest 90-millimeter planar magnetic drivers for one of the fullest, most precise soundscapes available. Passive noise reduction, dual-chambered earcups and Dolby Atmos audio complete the package. All this, plus the speediest wireless drivers on the market and a steel and aluminum chassis guaranteed to last.
JBL Quantum 910P Headphones
In the premium category, the JBL Quantum 910P wireless headphones marry high performance with stylish touches like RGB zones. Immerse yourself in the crisp and customizable JBL QuantumSPATIAL 360 sound system enhanced by noise-cancelling technology, and communicate clearly with the noise-suppressing mic. Other plusses include low latency, a dual source system and a solid 39 hours of battery life. This versatile headset is compatible with PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch.
Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless
Created with input from pro players, the Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless has a lot going for it, starting with a beautifully precise and immersive soundscape run on 50-millimeter graphene drivers. The detachable cardioid microphone decreases sound interference while Logitech’s LIGHTSPEED wireless and Bluetooth ensure low latency during play. You can settle in for hours thanks to the 50-hour battery, lightweight aluminum and steel frame, and rotating hinge earcups.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless
Newly updated in 2023, SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 wireless headset offers a great experience for PC and Playstation fans in particular. Gamers love the expansive bass notes in the default sound, but the Parametric EQ also allows adjustments via a companion app. Simultaneous wireless, low latency and a 38-hour battery life ensure gameplay is uninterrupted while the ergonomic design keeps players comfortable for hours.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wired/Wireless
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro rates as one of the top headsets going in both its wired and wireless forms. Is it because of the high-fidelity drivers, 360-degree spatial audio and Parametric EQ in its Nova Pro Acoustic System? Or maybe the mic with 96 kilohertz/24-Bit audio resolution and AI-powered noise suppression? Perhaps it’s the lightweight ComfortMAX System that ensures your comfort through gaming marathons. Whatever the case, this one’s clearly an investment worth making.
