When you're a gamer, great headphones are an important accessory. Hardcore players need a pair to voice chat or for streaming. And parents or roommates might want to keep some games for their ears only.
In addition to the usual considerations for buying headphones, gamers should keep in mind what platform they'll be playing on. Do you operate a console or a gaming PC? Most sets will be compatible with any system, but Xbox One owners may need to pick up an adapter once Microsoft releases the product.
Also, consider whether you want your headphones to double-up as music headphones. Gaming headsets, especially wireless ones, often have lower sound quality. Make sure you know your priorities for audio.
These are seven of the best headsets out there for gamers. If you don't see your favorite, share the model you play with in the comments.
