Wired, 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth?
- Wired (3.5 mm jack or USB): no battery, no delay and often cheaper. A 3.5 mm jack also works on many controllers and laptops.
- 2.4 GHz wireless with a USB receiver: freedom to move without noticeable delay, the best choice for wireless gaming.
- Bluetooth: handy for your phone or laptop, but with more delay. Fine for films and music, less so for fast games.
Microphone and sound
If you play online, the microphone matters as much as the sound. A mic you can flip up or detach is handy. Some headsets filter out background noise or have ANC (active noise cancelling) for your ears, useful in a busy house or office.
