Wireless headsets have improved a lot in recent years and can now compete with wired headsets in terms of clarity and sound quality One of the reasons is the advancement in wireless technology. Modern wireless headsets use a 2.4 GHz wireless frequency, which has a more stable connection and greater range than Bluetooth alternatives..
The main benefit of wireless headsets is freedom of movement. Having no wires means users can be seated anywhere they want in relation to the desk without worrying about the length of the cable. Wireless headsets also reduce clutter so users can focus on their game without the cable being in their way.
Modern wireless headsets are accessible and have a lot of features included. They have significant battery life and have adjustment options to ensure full adaptation. Many headsets also have software that allows users to fine-tune the options and configure the full background of the sound..
Here are the 5 best wireless headsets for PC.
The best in general
Logitech G PRO X Wireless
Image via Logitech The Logitech G Pro X Wireless has a rugged set and solid build quality. The frame and sides are made of metal with a plastic headband and pads. It is covered with leather earpads in its classic form. An additional set of velor alternatives are included in the box for players to choose the most comfortable..
The audio and microphone of the G Pro X Wireless are made for gaming. Each side has a 50mm driver with 7.1 surround sound using the DTS Headphone: X2.0. Virtual surround sound is a controversial feature, as some gamers say it's not that much better than stereo sound and drives up the price pointlessly. The mic has average sound quality, but this changes drastically once the Blue Voice software is activated. Blue Voice adds a filter to make the sound clearer, and also has customizable options.
Like all high-end headphones, the wireless G Pro X connects with a 2.4 GHz frequency. It connects via a wireless tool and uses Logitech's Lightspeed technology to ensure a stable connection. The wireless connection has a range of 49 inches and the battery lasts about 20 hours.
The G Pro X has great quality and great features like Blue Voice technology and virtual surround sound. Logitech adds a bag to carry it and extra earpads for more value. This headset is expensive, but its capabilities justify the price.
Best high-end headphones
SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless
Image via SteelSeries The SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless is expensive, but has some unique features that other headsets on this list can't match. The batteries are charged using the provided cradle, which doubles as a wireless transmitter. This holder has an OLED screen that displays important information like battery level, charge level and volume options. Users can also adjust the volume and other transmitter options instead of using the ear controls on the headphones.
Comfort is a major criterion when choosing a helmet. Instead of a single headband like the G Pro X, the SteelSeries Arctic Pro Wireless has a second adjustable velcro hanging headband. This hanging headband has security on the player's head and minimizes the pressure from the weight of the helmet.
SteelSeries focused on affordability and quality for the wireless Arctis Pro. This headset has a retractable mic on the left, so there is no risk of losing a detachable mic. It also has built-in edge controls for volume and a 3.5mm jack connection for connecting it to other devices.
In general, the Arctic Pro Wireless has some very good features and a significant build quality, but its hefty price tag limits its audience.
Best midrange headset
Corsair HS70 Pro
Image via Corsair Many don't need the extras offered by the G Pro X and Arctis Pro wireless headsets. Corsair's HS70 Pro keeps its simplicity by delivering clear and satisfying audio quality without additional features.
Compared to the headsets mentioned, the HS70 Pro has a more conservative look. Corsait didn't go out of the way to give the HS70 Pro a look that would make it stand out from the crowd, and it has an all-black minimalist look with no shiny surface or RGB lights. Even the Cream version has minimalist accents to enhance its appearance.
While its appearance isn't unique, the build quality of the HS70 Pro can match the more expensive rivals on this list. It has an aluminum frame with memory foam on the headband and the ear pads. The volume controls, mute button, and charging jack are all on the left, but the power button is on the right, so it won't be accidentally used. Like the G Pro X and BlackShark V2 Pro, it has a detachable mic.
It may be cheaper than the two headsets mentioned above, but it matches the functionality of more expensive headsets. The HS70 Pro has virtual 7.1 surround sound with equalizer options controlled by the iCUE app. Its expected battery life is around 16 hours. The HS70 Pro also uses a 2.4 GHz wireless connection and has a range of 40 feet.
The HS70 offers good sound and good mic quality in a solid package. Like the BlackShark V2 Pro, it uses a micro USB cable to recharge, but that was expected given the price.
Best budget headphones
HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless + 7.1
Image via Hyper X The HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless + 7.1 is proof that wireless headsets can be affordable. Its low price makes the Wireless Cloud Stinger Core ideal for mid-budget or casual shoppers who don't want to spend too much on high quality.
HyperX has nevertheless made sacrifices to achieve this price, and it shows. The 40mm drivers don't compete with other headsets on this list, and the ear cushions are thinner. The HyperX NGenuity software has the option to turn 7.1 surround sound on or off, but there is no sound customization or other customizations. The other measure to limit the price is the fixed microphone which cannot be detached or retracted.
Despite the few drawbacks, HyperX's Wireless Cloud Sringer Core remains a good build quality. It has a totally black plastic design with a headband and ear pads. The left part has the volume control, the power button and a USB-C charging socket.
Like the other headsets on the list, the Wireless Cloud Stinger Core operates on the 2.4 GHz frequency and uses a wire to connect. The 17-hour battery life is slightly longer than the HS70 Pro, but less than the other headsets on the list.
There aren't many reputable wireless headsets out there that match the price of the Cloud Stinger Core Wireless. It may have fewer features than rivals on this list, but still keep acceptable sound quality and a stable wireless connection, making it a worthwhile option.

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro
Image via Razer Users looking for a headset that can do everything from gaming to conference calling to movies can look to the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro. This chameleon has strong and versatile abilities. Some of these include THX spatial audio compatibility and a tunable microphone.
Razer has invested a lot of resources to make the microphone well. It is a detachable 9.9mm microphone with cardioid functionality. Cardioid mics have very good sound concealment as they only pick up sound in the direction of the user. The Razer Synapse app gives users more options to manage the mic.
The sound quality of the BlackShark V2 Pro makes it ideal for gaming, watching movies or listening to music. Each ear pad has 50mm drivers with THX Spatial Audio compatibility. It offers 7.1 surround sound to hear footsteps or shooting sounds from multiple directions. This feature is compatible with many popular games like VALORANT and Apex Legends , and it is activated using Razer's app, THX Spatial Audio.
There is the option to connect via wireless or wired connection. The wireless connection uses a 2.4 GHz frequency and provides 24 hour battery life when fully charged. There is also the option of using a conventional 3.5mm cable, but many software-controlled functions like surround sound and equalizer are disabled.
The BlackShark V2 Pro is a headset with two connectivity options. He is as comfortable with the latest esport titles as he is with facilitating professional meetings. This headset may be cheaper than the SteelSeries and Wireless G Pro X, but most buyers will find it a bit pricey all the same. Another minor drawback is the old micro-USB charging socket.
