Gaming Headset Reviews


Plantronics GameCom 780
September 2012
The budget-minded GameCom 780 has great compatibility and sound that rivals its more expensive counterparts, but unfortunately fails to live up to Plantronics’ namesake with a middling microphone.

Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless
July 2012
The Corsair Vengeance 2000 headset suffers tremendously from inherently flawed drivers that mangle surround sound. The hardware and stereo quality are at least commendable, but these can't justify the $150 asking price on their own.

Corsair Vengeance 1500
December 2011
While not without some minor hardware and software flaws, the Corsair Vengeance 1500 is by far the greatest USB headset I've ever had the pleasure of reviewing.

Thermaltake Shock One
April 2011
The Shock One headset features good all round sound and directionality with its DTS Surround Sensation. While it might not have the best comfort or sound out of the box, it has definitely become a real joy to use after some tweaking.

Logitech G930 Wireless
September 2010
The Logitech G930 headset is an improvement on the G35's in every way. Not only does the wireless feature work well, the ability to tweak the individual sound level of each of the virtual speakers takes this headset to the next level.

Creative Sound Blaster Arena
May 2010
A lightweight contender with excellent sound quality and spatialization for native 5.1/7.1 sources, the SB Arena Surround's game compatibility suffers from what can only be described as an oversight in the Windows Speaker Config panel.

Razer Megalodon
July 2009
Deficient only in its ability to upmix stereo content, Razer's Megalodon is the clear winner in the personal surround sound arms race. The headset's attention to comfort, sound quality, game compatibility and tournament readiness leave little else to be desired.

Logitech G35
May 2009
Although Logitech's first foray into surround sound headsets sounds incredible, compatibility issues with certain games and the lack of fine-grained control seen in every other G-series product leaves a lot to be desired for the asking price.

Creative HS-1000 Fatal1ty
September 2008
Creative's Fatal1ty-endorsed gaming headset improves upon a few of the problems of its wireless counterpart, and is a very strong product that stands well even without comparison.

Creative HS-1200 Wireless
August 2008
Creative HS-1200 takes on the world of wireless gaming sound hits a lot of strong spots (weight, comfort, ease of use, surround options with OpenAL), but still needs work in some areas and is not a good general-use replacement.

Tritton Audio Xtreme PC
May 2008
The AXPC is a great gaming headset for gamers that offers true 5.1 surround sound over a single cable without breaking the bank, although it may not be fully compatible with all the latest OpenAL games at this point in time.
