The best gaming headsets for 2025


After testing dozens of contenders, we've put together a list of good headphones for gaming and dedicated gaming headsets, which aren't quite the same thing.

The DT 900 Pro X will clamp down slightly harder than average if you have a large head, but it balances its weight well, and its wonderfully soft velour earpads go a long way toward keeping the pair comfortable over hours-long gaming sessions. It still can't provide the immersive width and precise imaging of our open-back picks, the Atlas Air included, but the Maxwell sounds unusually textured, balanced and intimate compared to other wireless gaming headsets. The wireless Beyerdynamic MMX 200 locates in-game effects accurately, feels sturdy and has a great boom mic, but it sounds less articulate than the Audeze Maxwell, with heavily exaggerated bass and recessed lower-mids.
