When we compared The Best PC Gaming Headsets, we found a few attributes that everyone should look for. It is important to get one that will provide quality audio from the headphone, as well as the microphone. The design is also very important: it should be both functional and comfortable. Most PC Gaming Headsets will include a few extra features aside from those directly linked to audio quality and design, which are typically just for convenience. Lastly, look for a company that has a good help and support system.
