Victrix Gambit Wireless Gaming Headset
Compatible with Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC
While you may not have heard of Victrix, its parent company PDP has been developing headsets and other accessories for some time. The Victrix Gambit is a well-rounded wireless headset with a focus on esports and two different models dedicated to Microsoft and PlayStation consoles. The headset uses a familiar design, with leatherette ear cups and an adjustable plastic headband, and while the boom mic isn’t removable, it can be flipped up to quickly mute it. The left earcup also has a dedicated dial for balancing game and chat audio, and a button that allows you to switch between three levels of mic sensitivity.
The headset can last up to 16 hours on a single charge, but, like the aforementioned BlackShark 2 Pro, it’s reliant on Micro USB for charging. The compatibility of the headset depends on which model you decide to pick up, too, which is disappointing but can be bypassed if you use a 3.5mm audio connection.
Normally $129.99, both the Xbox and PlayStation models are currently on sale for their lowest price to date. The Xbox model is currently going for $110.50 at Amazon and Target, while the PlayStation model is on sale for $78.70 at Amazon and Walmart. Just note that, if you’re planning to use this headset with your PC, you’ll need to purchase the Xbox model.
Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset
Compatible with PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch
Our top entry in the wired category gets serious points for opting for a super-clean aesthetic. The Logitech G Pro headset was designed with esports in mind and is currently available at GameStop, Amazon, and Logitech for $79.99, a steep discount on its typical $99.99 price tag. This is one of the lower prices we’ve seen for this particular headset, which was already a substantial value prior to the current discount.
The G Pro is remarkably simple in terms of its appearance, with no visible knobs or buttons, and no extra ports with the exception of a second 3.5mm audio jack for the detachable boom mic. In addition to the expected 3.5mm audio cable, the G Pro also comes packaged with velour ear pads that can be swapped with the standard leatherette earcups, as well as an external USB DAC that can be used to fine-tune your audio experience on PC using Logitech’s G Hub software.
JBL Quantum 400
Compatible with PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch
A headset that knows its audience, the JBL Quantum 400 definitely makes a statement with its aesthetics. In addition to its slightly bulky profile, each earcup sports an addressable RGB logo and a boom mic that can be flipped up when not in use. Thankfully, most of that bulk is dedicated to the extremely thick padding on the headband and both earcups.
Between the included USB-C and 3.5mm audio cable, the Quantum 400 is compatible with all current consoles. However, you may have some issues connecting the headset to your mobile device unless you opt for a double-sided USB-C connection. Normally $99.99, the headset is currently on sale at GameStop, Best Buy, and Amazon for $79.95, its second-best price to date.
HyperX Cloud II
Compatible with PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch
Reminiscent of the minimalist designs used by Logitech and Corsair, the HyperX Cloud II is a simple and effective headset that’s currently on sale for $29.99 at Amazon and Best Buy. This matches the lowest price we’ve seen for this headset, which usually retails for $99.99.
The Cloud II is a versatile, wired headset that’s remarkably comfortable and features audio fidelity that’s typically reserved for headsets that cost twice as much. The 53mm drivers delivery sound that is both punchy and balanced, much like those found in the wireless version we reviewed in 2020, and there’s a virtual 7.1 surround sound mode for added effect. The headset also features a detachable, noise-canceling mic, as well as inline remote for adjusting the volume of both the mic and audio playback.
It may not be as capable as its wireless sibling, but the HyperX Cloud II remains an excellent option that’s compatible with all contemporary consoles and mobile devices as long as you have a USB-C adapter.
