The 5 Best Budget And Cheap Gaming Headsets
While it can be hard to find wireless options at this price point, the best we’ve tested with this design is the Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless. These are worth considering if you don’t want to worry about a cable, and they’re designed for people with smaller heads, so their fit is tighter than other gaming headphones. You can find the Turtle Beach Recon 50X/Recon 50P at a similar price, but the G435 are better built with a more comfortable fit for most people.
You can easily pair these headphones to PCs and PlayStation consoles using the dongle, or you can use Bluetooth with your Nintendo Switch and smartphone with decently low latency. They also support Bluetooth and non-Bluetooth wireless, meaning you can use them while gaming or even during your daily grind. However, their integrated mic struggles to separate speech from background noise, especially compared to the Turtle Beach, so they’re not quite as good for multi-player games.
On the upside, their warm sound profile is well-suited for gaming. The extra warmth and boom help draw attention to sound effects like footsteps while dialogue and instruments remain clear. They lack sound customization features. If you want wireless headphones to tweak to your liking, you’ll need to jump to a higher price bracket. The Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless are more expensive but still under $100. They work with the Logitech G HUB software, which includes a graphic EQ and presets, so you can adjust their sound profile. They also offer a longer continuous battery life and lower latency via non-Bluetooth wireless.
