Free yourself from the tyranny of cables and go wireless with any of these six gaming headsets starting from $49
Nothing beats the convenience of cable-free gaming.
Wireless gaming headsets have come a long way in the past decade. Practical latency concerns have melted away thanks to robust 2.4 GHz connections, the weight has gradually decreased, and battery life has risen. Basically, there are now very few drawbacks to buying a wireless gaming headset—and for the most part, they're pretty affordable to boot.
I've rounded up six for your consideration, with the cheapest being this Logitech G321 Lightspeed for just $49. Our James declared it "light on the ears, heavy on value" in his review, and at this price it offers even more bang for your buck.

If you're prepared to pay a bit more, though, then you get some real heavy-hitters. There's the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X, our current pick for the best mid-range gaming headset, down to $76 at Amazon.
Or our best gaming headset overall, the Razer BlackShark V3, which has dropped to $130. You could go for mega battery life with this 300-hour+ HyperX set for $110, or get a sublime charging-stand-included Fractal Design Scape for $170.
If you're prepared to drop some serious cash, there's always the Audeze Maxwell 2 to consider. Yes, it's still full price at $320, but its stupendous planar magnetic drivers put it into proper audiophile territory, and its sonic competitors can cost hundreds of dollars more. Whichever you pick, and whatever your budget, any of these wireless gaming headsets will do you proud.
