Whether you charge your new phone or putting on a pair of earphones for your morning commute, most of us use wireless gadgets. But you might want to think twice when it comes to your gaming headset. You can use a wired headset with almost any device as long as it has a headphone jack. You can hear your environment and your allies with clarity without worrying about charging or compatibility issues. There is also no one who likes sweaty ears.
Fortunately, there are a number of headsets that fit the bill – no matter what console, computer or device you play on. If you want to stay completely wireless, check out our guide to the best wireless gaming headsets. For all your other gaming accessory needs and / or semi-urgent needs, be sure to check out our other guides, such as the best gaming keyboard, the best gaming mouse, and the best gamepad listings!
