Best Gaming Headsets With Surround Sound

[2 Hours] I have been through several gaming headsets for the PS5. I have finally landed on a pair that not only look and sound sleek, but do EXACTLY what I need. The digital AI noise cancellation works perfectly when eliminating background noise. But not only that, these cans have some amazing sound pumping through these magnetic drivers. No wonder Sony opted to buy Audeze. Connection to PS5 and PC is easy with the included usb-c adapter. Just make sure to pick the right source with the flick of a switch. You can update firmware and download custom EQs from the Audeze site, as well. Getting used to not using an app to make changes is a bit of a drag, but it’s worth it in the end to not have it. I have used ‘em all: Razer, SteelSeries, and Turtle Beach. Each have their own strengths but too many weaknesses. The Audeze Maxwell are just the perfect headset to add to your collection.

[Closed-Back] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I seen reports of JBL coming out with a line up of headsets at CES. I was extremely interested in seeing what JBL can bring to the audio gaming world. I love JBL’s sound signature, and I am so happy that they brought that signature to their Quantum line up of gaming headsets. At an affordable price JBL is giving you a lot with Quantum 400’s. The headphones feel very solid. They are plasticky but do not feel cheap. They are amazingly comfortable! I was able to wear them for long periods of time with only needing to take them off every so often. The braided USB type C was is a big thumbs up. The ear cups swivel 180 degrees and sit well around your shoulders when you take them off for a break in between matches. The mic I was told by other players online said they heard my voice good with little background noise. The microphone mutes when flipped up, which is very convenient. The audio sound quality is amazing. The directional audio is on point. Picking up other players on the map is the best I heard in a set of headphones. I have only used these on PC, so I cannot say how they sound on console. I can say the software is straight forward. Through the desktop app you have access to the spatial sound, microphone settings, the RGB lighting, and equalizer. You can also update the software through the desktop app. You can change lighting on the JBL emblem on the side of the ear cups. Which is cool if that is what you are into. Most importantly, you have DTS 2.0 and JBL Quantum Surround to choose from in the spatial audio. I am not too much into JBL’s Quantum Surround, but the DTS 2.0 just make these kick. The sound is tight in all gaming environments. Playing Red Dead 2 I could close my eyes and hear what was going on the world in the game. If you are looking for a good priced gaming headset that have a lot of big features. Pick these up!

[Walnut Brown] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it for streaming, gaming and music. I love the surround sound and the bass is amazing.

[1] One of the best purchase decision I made. Best companion for sound bar ultra, 2 Bass module and 2 surround speaker.

[Black] good surround sound effect

[Black] Best bluetooth headset that I have had so far. I've gone through two sony headsets in the past few months and these are by far the best I've come across.

[5.0] It's the beast of true surround sound. Love it.

[94 dB] Wonderful surround sound and quality for the price

[Full-Range] Surround speakers- are they worth it?: The surround speakers definitely add up the listening experience of any audio content. They are a must for a anybody who likes watching movies , a favorite tv show, sports events and so on… Quality: Materials: It is Bose, build quality is great. Audio wise: they sound crisp, but just not as loud as I would expect. Using the Bose app after pairing with soundbar 900 and bass 500, I had to increase surround speakers level to the max (100) so that I can hear them. Online forums recommend to re-run the adaptiq calibration but this time covering both of the surround speakers with a rag or something in order to force a level up on the speakers. It is a tweak, I’ll do that later once my neighbors are not around (I live in an apartment and this test is quite noisy). Cost: Nobody can deny that 600$ for these is a lot of money. Specially when looking around at the competition. I got them with 200 discount new. I would say this should be a fair amount - but still pricy. Cons: Beside the retail price (600$), the ground post and ceiling pivots ( accessories sold separately) are expensive and there are not many options/brands to choose from, unlike the competitors once again. Bose is making it harder to justify getting their systems because of the price. The wireless receiver module is huge, probably like 2.5x the size of the speaker itself. You’ll have to find a way of hiding that thing somewhere. I don’t think that these speakers/the Bose system convert 2.0 content to 5.1. Whenever there is 2.0 audio, the speakers sound with a very low volume (to be solved with the tweak). 5.1&DobyAtmos are perfect Overall: Surround speakers are a must. These ones sounds great. After the tweak mentioned they will sound as loud as needed. I love the design, quality build and how sleek and minimalist they look. They are on the expensive side of the balance. I don’t think they are worth paying the retail full price but after a discount they are okay

[5 V] We use these headsets for our church. They sound great! We will buy these again when we need more.
