Today, this post will give you a guide to choose the best headset for your PC, especially if you are a fan of online games. You need to have the best gaming experience, so a good PC gaming headset is almost a must thing for you. In these days, most games are embedded with high definition audio effects. I think a good gaming headset is necessary to really enjoy the game, and you can be in the game. Below is the list of some things you can consider when shopping.

Sound quality

The ability to produce great sound quality must be had by a good PC gaming headset. These few guidelines can be used by you to distinguish a headset with great sound quality from a bad one while different people perceive sound differently.

-          Surround sound
The realism in your gameplay needs to be created, so surround sound effect is necessary. I recommend you to choose those PC gaming headsets with 5.1 digital audio encoded as they are useful to help you identify your enemy that is sneaking behind you before shooting at you.

-          Bass
Significant differences in first person shooting game like Counterstrike will be shown by a gaming headset with a powerful bass. The bullets that are flying around you and distinct explosion in the arena will be able to be heard clearly by you.

-          Noise cancellation
An external microphone is used by some gaming headset to pick up external noise and invert them to cancel out any strange noise. If you are often playing in a noisy environment like an internet cafe, this is very useful for you.

Comfort

Comfort must be able to be provided to the user by good computer gaming headset. Since you will be wearing it for a long period of time, this is so important. Trying it out before you make your decision is the only one way to test whether a headset is comfortable of not for you. Most of the time, people’s comfort depends on the:
-          Ear cups; is it big enough to contain your ear?
-          Weight; is it too heavy for your ear?
-          Padding; is it soft and thick enough to protect your ear?
-          Headband; is it freely adjustable to fit your head’s size?
You will know whether it is comfortable or not for you by putting it on for 15 minutes.

Microphone

Nowadays, most of the PC gaming headsets are geared with a microphone, allowing interaction while playing game. This feature might be useful as you want to include in your gaming headset.
 
Wireless headset

The wireless gaming headset which makes use of RF or Bluetooth technology can be chosen if you always move around and do not wish to be bothered by the cable. But, you have to remember that wireless headsets might be more prone to loss of signal during the transmission and noise interference, which can cause the static or annoying noise.

Vibrator

The physical sensation of bass frequencies is trying to be recreated, so most force feedback gaming headsets make use of vibration. The headset can vibrate with the low frequencies in the audio signal, in sympathy, so you can hear and feel the bass.
