Quick tips before you buy
Not every wireless headset works with Xbox. The HyperX Cloud III S does not, so check first.
Wired headsets need no charging. Wireless gives you freedom but needs a charge.
Memory foam and a light build, like the 240 g BlackShark V2 X, help over hours of play.
Virtual surround helps place footsteps, but good drivers matter most.
Quick answers
Wired or wireless gaming headset?+
Wired is lighter, cheaper and never needs charging. Wireless frees you from the cable; the HyperX Cloud III S lasts up to 120 hours on 2.4 GHz.
Which headset works with PS5 and Xbox?+
The wired HyperX Cloud III works with both, plus PC. The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 is listed for Xbox, PS5, PC and mobile.
Is 7.1 surround sound worth it?+
It can help in shooters on PC. On the BlackShark V2 X, 7.1 surround works on Windows only.
