Top Gaming Headphones Under 5000

[800 to 1600] Top notch gaming mouse. Highly recommend.

[0.35 lb] using it on my sb-5000 works good.

[5.0 lb (2.3 kg)] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones from JBL are very surprising. Most gaming headphones I have tried seem to be cheap, uncomfortable, heavy, or some variation of the 3. These headphones, however, aren’t that way. They’re sturdy, but also lightweight and prove to be comfortable for long use sessions. The sound quality is pretty good for the price, and thus I have no complaints. The addition of the USB dongle to allow for use with consoles that don’t fully support bluetooth is very nice. My only gripe is that I can’t pair them directly via bluetooth to my switch or phone. Another thing I appreciate about these headphones are the design. Most gaming headphones are either really flashy with crazy LED lights, or really bold with crazy shapes and corners on the ear cups. These headphones aren’t that way. They’re sleek, with only the JBL logo lighting up. Some may prefer the more crazy designs or the flashy lights, but I personally prefer the more subtle design these headphones offer. Overall, these headphones are great for your light to more heavy gamer out there. I would definitely recommend these as either a gift for someone who likes to game a lot, or for yourself if you enjoy gaming but don’t want flashy headphones.

[Download] Cheap, VERY comfortable, and despite *strong* bass, it's not overpowering. I bought these to use while gaming and as a second reference while mixing music. The bass is strong and definitely forward, but not overpowering. It's pleasing to the ear. The mids and high mids seem well balanced, which is where it matter most in my opinion. Build quality is good. Nothing cheap about them. I really have to say a second time how comfortable they are. My old studio monitor headphones were unbearable after about forty minutes. These can be worn for hours at a time with no discomfort at all. The faux leather on the ear cups is also holding up nicely after owning these for about two years. No cracking or fraying. I've owned a handful of headphones over the years for mixing, listening, and gaming and these are my favorites in terms of comfort by a factor of ten.

[Black] The Kross SB40 headphones are excellent for gaming, zooming and much more. As an instructor it’s important to have good equipment to rely on. These are one of the best with fantastic sound.

[0.05 lb] I got these because I can't wear over-the-head headphones while gaming, and most other gaming earbuds are the suction kind which are incredibly uncomfortable. The other issue is that Apple's earpods don't work out-of-the-box with PS4, so there aren't a lot of options left. If you're like me, and you NEED the following, then get this: - PS4 out-of-the-box compatibility - Won't fall out - Hours long comfort - Microphone - Decent sound quality - Great price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones deliver in a number of practical, easy ways whether being used for gaming or not. The ease of connection in headphones these days is critical, and within less than a minute, these were connected to both a phone and Nintendo Switch. Pairing was simple and the ability to switch back and forth relatively effortlessly made the user experience so smooth. Using the headset for gaming, the sound came in amazingly clear and captured both game dialogue as well as sound effects and score without featuring one over the other. Voices were clear, sound effects were crisp and the background music was rich and deep. Switching over to music, the experience was much the same. Piano notes came in clear and loud, treble was smooth and loud and the bass had a classic "thump" characteristic which is often more of a "buzz" in lower-end headphones. Finally, the switch to USB-C is the last feature that seems to be the most simple and obvious, but absolutely necessary. Regardless of device, it seems to be more and more common to utilize one charging cable, and being able to switch from phone to gaming and now headphones with a single cord while traveling is such a relief. All in all, these are terrific for anyone looking at a mid-range headset, packed with a ton of features and quality that are normally found in more expensive products and designs.

[6.95 lb] I love these headphones. I use them on my computer for gaming and for music. Using a creative labs dedicated sound card to power them they really have a good clean sound. The bass is there with some thump and the mids and highs are there without being blown out or over shadowed. I have a pair of Audio-technnica ATH-A550z and I think the Tascam have a better sound. The fit is not quite as sealing as I would like but everyone has a different head shape so I know one size fits all usually fits none. For the price I definitely recommend them.

[1] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got these Quantum 200 headphones and must say I am definitely happy with them! They are pretty simple, basic gaming headphones with all the features you need and none that you don't. When you first get the headphones, give them around 20 hours of burn in / usage time and the sound will become exceptional for gaming and movies. You won't be disappointed, especially for the price! Pros: 1. Balanced Sound Quality: These headphones are definitely mid and high centric for sound details in gaming and movies, however the bass gets better over time. Clean, clear and balanced would be a way to describe it. 2. Clear Microphone: The mic is super easy to use with the easy flip mute on and off. It has great sound quality with very little background noise. My online teams remarked on how clear my mic sounds now. Everything in the volume is super easy to get adjusted and dialed in. 3. Great Price: The value of these headphones is a bit beyond the retail price they are asking. This is a tough set of headphones for the price and I really can't ask for more in the value department! Its got decent sound, great microphone, rugged build quality and simple to use. Cons: Require break in to get the full sound quality. Just use them and over around 20+ hours, everything goes from okay sounding to beyond decent. Just use them and expect the sound to get better and better. Other than that, I have no complaints! All in all, I think this is definitely a great budget minded gaming headset. They have all the right features and nothing beyond that. Super comfortable with durable design, long cable, intuitive controls and clean sound. A simple, quality pair of headphones that will last and get you thought the game with ease. Way to go JBL!

[Stereo] The sound quality is great, and the microphone quality is great. This is one of the most comfortable sets of over-ear headphones I've ever used. The battery life has been great so far, lasting for entire-day gaming sessions. I love the ability to both remove the mic, and also do flex and adjust it away from you if you need to drink. The mute button and volume wheel on the headset are a nice touch and make this a fantastic option for easy use during conference calls as well as gaming. My only gripe is that these don't have bluetooth connectivity, and can't be used with a device that doesn't take the USB dongle. I'd love to be able to switch these between my desktop and laptop/phone like I can with my G915 keyboard, and G-pro mouse - however, I usually use different headphones for music anyways. For the price point, this is a FANTASTIC set of headphones. I couldn't be happier.
