Top 10 gaming headset brands ranking

With the rise of FPS-type games such as Eating Chicken and CSGO, gaming headsets have frequently appeared in our field of vision, distinguishing them from music.

So are gaming headsets important? What is the difference with music headphones?

Music earphones pay more attention to sound quality, high and middle bass balance, while gaming earphones focus on low-frequency sound and sound field positioning, which can achieve the effect of listening to the sound position, and also have a high-definition microphone function.

Even if you are not playing FPS-type games, but moba-type games such as LOL, DATA, etc., you still need the game headset to recognize the enemy's skills to release, and better voice communication with teammates without noise.

The difference between 7.1 channel and 5.1 channel

In fact, these two are easy to understand based on the name, ".1" refers to the subwoofer channel, and the previous number represents the number of channels from the position.

The 5.1 channel azimuth comes from the left front surround, right front surround, center surround, left rear surround, and right rear surround.

The 7.1 channel is based on 5.1 plus left surround and right surround.

Therefore, the 7.1-channel sound is more three-dimensional than the 5.1-channel sound, and the degree of discrimination of the sound source is higher, and it is more suitable for FPS-type game players. In fact, other types of game players can basically meet their needs with 5.1 channels, but if the conditions are possible, it is recommended to use 7.1 channels. The feeling will be completely different.

Whether you are playing games on a computer or on a game console, a high-quality gaming headset is a must-have equipment that can help you win a higher winning rate. However, because the wired headset will make your desk messy, it will hinder your operation during the game. Therefore, wireless gaming headsets come into play.
