Serious gamers understand the importance of great audio is when playing first person shooter (FPS) games, as well as massively multi-player role playing games (MMORPGs). Parents, next door neighbors and other non-players in the area can also enjoy a whole lot of peace and quiet while the gamer goes on his quest in private.
Here is a list of the top 10 best gaming headsets available.

9. Plantronics GameCom 380 Stereo PC Gaming Headset
Plantronics has always been a trusted name when it comes to audio headsets, and although the GameCom380 doesn’t look as complicated as its contemporaries, this headset packs a punch in terms of clear, noise-reduced sounds and clear communication lines.
8. SteelSeries Siberia V2

6. Logitech Wireless G930

5. Turtle Beach Ear Force Z2
Turtle Beach has many models that are far more superior to the Ear Force Z2, but the reason this headset has made the top 10 best gaming headsets list is the value for money it brings. It may be a budget headset, but what it lacks in features, it makes up for in sound quality.

3. Coolermaster’s CM Storm Sirus
This gaming headset may be bulkier and heavier than most of the other headsets available today, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t comfortable. It boasts of true 5.1 surround sound and an external control module that allows users to adjust the audio levels much like when using a professional sound mixer.

Gamers who travel frequently would love the NOX Audio Specialist. This lightweight headset is comfortable to wear and is extremely portable. It even has its own travel hard-shell case. This headset is definitely the perfect solution for people who like to play games on the go.
1. Turtle Beach Ear Force XP Seven
Last, but not least on the list of the top 10 best gaming headsets is one that is too advanced and complicated for words.

It also has a great audio control console
where settings can be adjusted and saved.
