10 Reviews: Best Over Ear Headphones for Gaming (Mar 2023)

Games always manage to raise your mood by playing them, but headphones with vivid colors can brighten your day just by seeing them on your desk. The Cowin E7 Headphone is available in seven eye-catching colors, making you stand out from the crowd. You can fight against enemies for up to 30 hours on a single charge, so don’t worry about them dying in the middle of battle. Plus, you can use the included cord if you desire.

The sound quality is very good. The noise cancelling is pretty amazing too. it cancels out steady noises. I have a gaming PC and there are 2 large fans and 2 small fans that generate a lot of noise. when I turn on noise cancel mode on these headphones, the fan noise goes away. These sound better (and are more comfortable) than my old Bose headphones that I have been using for years. ...

In case you need a device to have more fun chatting with your opponents in online games, HyperX Cloud II deliberately designed a gaming headset. The detachable, noise-canceling microphone lets you hear and be heard much better. This wired headshell is compatible with various devices without requiring a driver, such as PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4, to smartphones.

Spent a lot of time reading reviews here, watching YouTube reviews and talking to so tech friends online and some gamer's I know and have met. For the money, this is a great set of cans. The microphone is pretty decent. For online gaming, late night YouTube or movie watching, it does the job well. Very well, and they are comfortable. The 7.1 surround works reasonably. Best bang for the buck, IMHO.

Next, we have the specially-tuned Razer BlackShark V2 50mm drivers that let you lose yourself in the game world or focus on important audio cues. This headset is equipped with a detachable microphone to keep communications clear and reduce ambient noise so it won’t affect your voice chat. Ah, and for those who can spend the entire night leveling up, the ultra-soft ear cushion will minimize sweat and heat build-up.

The Triforce 50 MM drivers deliver immersive audio and the microphone has crystal clear quality. I've had numerous headsets throughout my gaming experience and these are by far the best for their price. $60 Well Spent in my book!

This one has a simple, minimalist design with attractive colors. The Skullcandy Crusher Headphone has a whopping 40 hours of playtime with the rapid charge which adds 3 more hours of juice out of every 10-minute charging time. The Crusher excels with adjustable sensory bass and an inbuilt mic that makes you feel like you’re in the game. Now, you can hear the rich, impactful sounds of your games with clarity and precision.

Really love my skullcrushers. The bass can be turned up ridiculously high but that's just for fun for me. I use them mainly for PC gaming and they work flawlessly. Build quality is decent, no weak points that I can see and they hold up well on my big head. Battery life is excellent. Never had them run dead and I may charge them every other week with causual use. Definitely recommend these to anyone.

The Sennheiser HD280PRO is labeled as a professional studio headphone which means it is a great pick both for music and gaming. This hearing device boasts an extremely robust construction combined with natural sound reproduction and a comfy padded headband making it an absolute starter pack for your virtual match. Not to mention the unique collapsible design that offers maximum flexibility in any application.

I am very happy with these headphones and they work well as virtual surround sound for gaming too. I really like using them and they do a good job cutting down on the sound in the house too.

The Avantree Aria Pro 90P comes wirelessly, perfect for those who are tired of messy cables. Featuring high definition active noise canceling (ANC), you won’t notice any unwanted noise whilst fighting to win online battles. With the ANC feature, you can enjoy up to 15 hours of playtime. If you want it to last all day, just simply turn the ANC feature off. Plus, since it has a built-in mic, you can hear and be heard better than ever before.

I have used these headphones everyday since they arrived.
They sync to all my devices and the microphone boom is excellent sound.

The Philips SHP9600 is well-crafted with a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and quality. Even though it is a wired headphone, don’t worry about limited movement as it has 3 meters long detachable cable. You don’t need to sit too close to a PC or TV. The double-layered headband cushion is intended to provide you comfort for long gaming sessions.

If you are looking for high quality, studio-esque headphones with excellent tone and crisp sound, these are the headphones for you. I am using them for my gaming setup on my PC. Paired with a GSX 300 External Sound Card, they sound amazing. they aren't for 'noise cancelling' or private listening. These are more for studio setups or if you just like high quality sound. Paired with a 7.1 soundcard, they are amazing! High Recommend.

Shut noise out and enjoy uninterrupted focus with special closed earcups with the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC700BT. The highlight of this over-ear hearing device is the touch and swipe controls in the earcup which let you answer or end calls, controlling music as well as adjusting the volume. If you love traveling, this is a must-have device as it folds flat and includes a protective pouch.

If you value your ears and want quality sound combined with excellent noise cancelling go no further than these. You can sit on the wing and not hear the engines at all. LOVE these things!

The Logitech G633 Artemis Spectrum comes in black with an electric blue patterned design, making anyone who uses it look like a pro. The ear cups are large enough for users of all ear sizes; they won’t squeeze the ears. This gaming headphone gives you a wide choice of devices, from PCs, mobile devices, PS4s, the Xbox One, and more. All in all, it’s comfortable, versatile, and it’s aesthetically pleasing.

I have 2 G933 headsets for my desktop, so when I was looking for a headset for my laptop I decided to go with a wired headset to save a little money. The G633 offers everything my G933 headsets have, but wired for less money. They are USB powered, so they feel lighter than the wireless headset. Got exactly what I was looking for. Good sound for music and gaming, good for chat, and reliable.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 is one of the most popular products when it comes to advanced headphones. The over-ear design blocking out the outside world, makes you focus on your favorite game. The advanced features are hard to beat: touch sensor control, voice assistant, answer phone calls, and volume control. The speak-to-chat technology will automatically lower your audio volume when you start speaking and pause when you take them off. Superb!

Great Sound best noise canceling very easy and fast to pairing battery life is great comfortable for long movies gaming long into the night or just kicking back and playing my tunes Very happy
