How to choose
Start with connectivity. On PC, consider USB or a 3.5 mm jack. On console, check compatibility with your exact model. For a wireless headset, check battery life and how it connects.
Weight, clamping force and ear pad material matter during long sessions. If you spend a lot of time in voice chat, listen to a microphone sample in the review.
