  1. One pair of headphones I was disappointed to not see on this list were the turtle beach atlas 200, great budget headset if you ask me. I have the PlayStation edition that supports 3d audio, I’d say get rid of your speaker system and use that

  2. I heavily do not recommend anyone going for the Arctis series. It’s an absolute pain to set up, the battery life is miserable and only detierates gets quickly worse only after a few months of use. I have nightmares from that annoying peep sound when it gets empty. It’s clunky, the mute button is terrible and just putting it on the desk triggers it already often. Almost went back to wired because of how angry this one makes me.

  3. I bought Razer’s Blackshark V2 X and that was the worst purchase, had to return them..This is the best guideline for people who are as confused as me. Thank you!!
