Hasbro Gaming Hearing Things Game

Product Information

And because this gaming headset is closer to traditional headphones than many other sets on this list, it's incredibly light, weighing just 290g. When you enable Dolby Atmos for headphone in speaker properties, Spatial sound, I did notice it changes the default sample rate from 24bit, 192Khz (or whatever you set) to 16 bit 48Khz.

In fact, some would argue the software solutions built into Windows are better than those that come bundled with many gaming headsets—which matches my experience.DTS maintains a database of 500+ headphones with custom tunings to optimize the listening experience, preserving accurate sound externalization and precise localization of audio objects.

It’ll give you a taste of how Razer’s implementation sounds, though you get more customizability with one of Razer’s actual headsets. Like Dolby, it also has an implementation of Windows Spatial Sound using DTS Headphone:X technology.Most gaming headsets are digital in some way, connecting either wired over USB or wirelessly over Bluetooth or a separate USB transmitter. While DTS may not be as recognizable a name as Dolby, it has been just as prominent in the surround sound space in recent years. But those are definitely strictly license only things in every part of their use from source material making to playback. Where gaming headsets take the cake is spatial audio support, often having some form of it baked in, making it easier to place enemies in a game based on sound cues for an edge over the competition.

If you like to move around or get overly excited during a match, there’s a chance of yanking it right out of the console. The Beyerdynamic MMX 100 is as close to perfection as a wired gaming headset can get thanks to its impressive sound, comfort, and build quality. You hear everything with a level of clarity and liveliness better than any set of headphones I’ve ever used. The gaming surround aspect comes from Dolby, DTS, and/or THX processing technologies that tweak how the headsets mix sound between your ears to give an impression of 360-degree audio. Frequency response is another important spec, and it's the range of frequencies the headset can reproduce.The Xbox One and Series X/S work in a similar way, but if you have an older (pre-2016) Xbox One gamepad you might need Microsoft's Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter to use a wired headset. It feels luxurious, sounds excellent, and its PC software has strong spatial audio and many granular adjustments for anyone who wants to dive into them. The best gaming headsets offer more balance drivers that require minimal tweaking on your end, and you won't need to spend hundreds of dollars. And if you want to ditch the cord, the best wireless gaming headset is the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless.
