What to Look For

The 2026 Headset Guide

Open-back vs Closed-back

Open-back headphones (like the Sennheiser HD 560S) let sound in and out — creating a wider, more natural soundstage that makes footstep positioning in FPS significantly clearer. Closed-back headsets isolate you — better for noisy environments.

Wireless latency — solved

2.4GHz wireless (used by HyperX, SteelSeries, and Logitech) operates at sub-5ms latency — imperceptible in gaming. The remaining reason to choose wired is budget: wired headsets deliver better hardware per pound at the same price point.
