I haven’t been especially enamoured with Logitech’s gamer-focused headsets. While I adore most of the company’s accessories and peripherals, their gaming headsets of late have been too singularly focused (yeah, on esports), and they haven’t even nailed that aspect properly. While the sets look pretty stunning, and sound entirely decent, they’ve had rubbish microphones. Despite using what should be a …

I recently reviewed PDP’s sorta flagship LVL 50 wired headset for the Xbox One. It’s a decent, if somewhat underwhelming headset that focuses on just the basics. It sounds good enough, but there are other sets in the same sort of price range that just make it less of a decent value proposition than it should be. The headset does, …

When it comes to gaming headsets, the choices are greater than ever before. There are so many brands with differing feature sets available that it can become daunting when making the decision to buy a new set.

The fact that you have to plug in and charge a wired headset may be off-putting to some, but it’s a worthwhile trade-off for the thumping audio. It’s a well-made, well-conceived headset that looks, feels, and sounds more expensive than it is. It’s available locally for around R1099.

The Klipsch HP-3 is a rich man’s headset, but hot damn what I wouldn’t give to own it if I had that kind of cash laying around. It’s classy and comfortable, elegant and somehow blue-collar in its construction so that it doesn’t cross the line of ostentatious design.

Sony's back in town with a brand new set of noise-cancelling headsets, and the numbers look mighty promising so far.
