What to Look For in a Gaming Headset

Driver Size — 50mm is the sweet spot; larger = more bass, smaller = more clarity.
Surround Sound — 7.1 Virtual is standard; hardware 7.1 is rare and expensive.
Mic Quality — Detachable or flip-to-mute; noise cancellation for Discord/team chat.
Comfort — Memory foam + adjustable headband; weight matters for 4+ hour sessions.
Latency (Wireless) — Under 40ms is imperceptible; LIGHTSPEED/2.4GHz > Bluetooth.
Platform Compatibility — Check PS5/Xbox/Switch support before buying.
