Corsair HS65 Surround Wired Gaming Headset
Another great option is the Corsair HS65 Surround headset, which has custom-tuned 50mm neodymium audio drivers, providing clear audio across any game.

However, where it counts most – comfort, sound quality, even versatility – it serves up plenty. This gaming headset is not just comfortable, but also one of the best-sounding gaming headsets I’ve tested, especially for that sub-$100 price."

In our 8/10 review, we stated, "If you want an esports gaming headset that won’t give you wearer’s fatigue, but will definitely give you that gaming advantage, Razer BlackShark V2 is a headset worth looking into. This affordable pair of cans is lightweight and very comfortable to wear for long hours, delivers great sound quality and excellent soundstage perfect for gaming, and comes with the new THX Spatial Audio and Game Profiles."
