Some headsets, like those from Razer and Logitech, are purely designed for PC gaming, while others, like the Creative Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Omega , can also work with game consoles. It’s important to know the difference between a PC-only headset and a console headset because it can be difficult (or in some cases nearly impossible) to get a PC headset to work with a game console.
If you prefer single-player games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you don’t need a headset at all. You can use speakers and enjoy the room-filling atmosphere. If you need to work with or against anyone online, however, a headset’s vital. The next time you deathmatch, raid, or capture objectives, make sure you’re shouting into the boom mic of a good headset. To find the right one, check out our latest reviews below.
