Looking for the best headset for CSGO?
In this video we’ll break down the top headsets
for CSGO available whilst comparing them for
price versus performance.
Before we get started with our video detailing
the best headset for CS GO on the market,
we have included links in the description
for each product mentioned, so make sure you
check those out to see which one is in your
budget range.
Starting off at number 1 we have the HyperX
Cloud II.
With the Cloud II the people over at HyperX
seem to have found the perfect gaming headset
recipe.
What’s in that recipe, you ask?
A sturdy no BS design, comfortable fit, more
than decent audio quality, and a solid and
detachable mic.
At first glance the Cloud II might not seem
like anything super special and in many ways
it isn’t, but its main draw doesn’t come
from any special features or crazy cutting
edge technology.
The Cloud II thanks its popularity to the
fact that it does everything it sets out to
do in a reliable and more than decent manner.
The build quality is great, first off.
It’s got an aluminum frame and a detachable
mic which make it a very durable piece of
kit.
You won’t have to worry about anything breaking
if you’re on the road to some sort of LAN
party, for example.
The rather subdued and subtle design (if you
go for the plain black/grey version, that
is) also won’t turn any heads in case you
decide to take off the mic and use the headset
for your daily commute, and couple that with
the comfortable headband and interchangeable
ear cups and you’ve got a headset that’s
going to be very comfortable for a wide variety
of people.
The cherry on top is that it can be used on
all platforms thanks to the included connectors.
The Cloud II also boasts virtual 7.1 surround
sound (only on PC though) but the headset
sounds great with or without 7.1.
It’s not the absolute best out there when
it comes to sound quality (though the sound
is fantastic for the price) and people who
like to fiddle around with various EQ settings
(or even have their headset change settings
depending on which program they’re in) will
find this plug-and-play headset lacking a
bit but as far as gaming headsets go the sound
quality that the Cloud II offers is definitely
up there.
To round it off the mic is more than decent
as well.
It’s clear and not overly quiet and while
it’s obviously not broadcast quality material
it’ll do the job (making sure your teammates
clearly understand you) without any issues
whatsoever.
At number 2 we have the Sennheiser GAME ZERO.
The name Sennheiser might not immediately
ring any bells for some gamers out there,
but this brand has been working with audio
ever since it was founded back in 1945 so
it’s safe to say that they’ve got some
experience with this kind of thing.
The GAME ZERO is a testament to what Sennheiser
can do when it comes to audio.
The sound quality is pretty much unrivaled
by any gaming headset on the market, delivering
clear and precise mids and highs while not
succumbing to the bombastic bass levels that
most gaming headsets seem to trend towards.
The mic is among the best in the business
as well.
It offers great noise cancellation and transmits
your voice with remarkable precision without
adding any white noise or crackling.
It’s a bit barren in the feature department
though, if that’s something that you care
about.
The only controls on the headset itself come
in the form of a general volume wheel and
a mic mute, and it doesn’t offer virtual
surround or anything of the sorts.
Aside from that it’s a supremely comfortable
and lightweight headset, and the audio (and
mic) quality that it delivers are absolutely
top tier.
At number 3 we have the HyperX Cloud Alpha.
Everything that you’ve heard about the Cloud
II goes for the Cloud Alpha, except for the
7.1 virtual surround sound.
The Cloud Alpha does improve on the Cloud
II by offering a slightly better microphone
(and ditto sound, thanks to some changes in
the chambering) but it does so by leaving
out the 7.1 surround and additional velours
ear pads that you get with the Cloud II, so
depending on what you’re expecting from
your headset this’ll either be an upgrade
or a downgrade.
If you like to play games on your console
as well then this could be a good all-round
option, as the 7.1 surround won’t work on
consoles anyway.
At number 4 we have the HyperX Cloud Flight.
HyperX’s headsets are well-loved for their
relatively simple and straightforward design,
but the Cloud Flight proves that they can
definitely make more complex products as well.
The Cloud Flight is a wireless headset that’s
compatible with consoles as well as PC (obviously)
and it features HyperX’s signature quality.
With a great sound quality, very decent detachable
mic and a comfortable and no-nonsense design
(though this one does have LED lighting) you
get what you expect out of the brand in a
wireless package that can last you 30 hours
on a single charge with the lighting turned
off.
You can use the Cloud Flight with the optional
software but it also has the most important
controls on the headset itself so that you
can mute your mic, change the volume, and
so on without ever having to tab out of your
game.
If you like what you hear and read from HyperX’s
products but you like your wireless freedom
then you can definitely consider the Cloud
Flight.
And for our final pick at number 5 we have
the Sennheiser GSP 600.
We said that Sennheiser’s GAME ZERO has
‘best in business’ audio performance,
but Sennheisers new headsets do even better.
The GSP 600 is Sennheisers top end gaming
headset, featuring an adjustable headband
for more comfort while gaming, as well as
a new and improved set of speakers which deliver
a wider frequency response.
The mic has been improved when compared to
the GAME ZERO (and the closely related GAME
ONE) as well, making this one of the best
gaming headsets money can buy at the moment.
It’s still not the most feature-rich headset
on the market (look towards the GSP 550 if
you prefer to have virtual surround sound,
that one has 7.1 Dolby surround) but the comfortable
design along with the excellent sound quality
and mic make this one of the best options
on the market if you really want to make the
most of your sound.
So that sums up our top gaming headsets for
CS GO of 2019.
We hope you enjoyed.
