2025 has been a bumper year for gaming headsets. I should know, I've been testing loads of them (along with the rest of the PCG hardware team) on a near-weekly basis. We put every headset we review through the ringer, judging it not just on audio quality, but on comfort, build quality, connection options, and much, much more.

So when it comes to picking just three, it's been something of a tough call.
