Gaming headsets are an essential piece of equipment for all gaming setups. They not only enable you to listen to game audio and track the position of your enemies, but they also let you communicate with your teammates in real time. The market for gaming headsets has exploded in recent years thanks to the allure of positional audio and virtual surround sound, as well as improved wireless headset technology. Traditionally, there has been a large gap in sound quality between studio-grade headphones and gaming headsets. However, in recent years, pro streamers and gamers have gradually embraced gaming headsets with more balanced soundscapes. Some others have even transitioned to using open-back headphones as their primary gaming headset.
