This headset has an LED-lit earcup that makes it look super futuristic, giving it that extra edge when you call it a gaming headset. Comfort-wise, vegan leather memory foam earcups are for long hours of use; only it would feel a bit tight in clamping since they fit more oversized heads snugly.

Nu Republic Starboy 6: All About That Bass

It’s because of the 40mm neodymium drivers that it has that put deep, immersive bass into play using X-Bass technology that’s perfect for EDM and hip-hop collections. On the other hand, mids and highs take a backseat; this might be a deal breaker if you’re concerned with vocal clarity.

Boult Mustang Q: One hell of a battery life, 70 hours of regular usage, and 10 minutes of charging give you 10 hours of playback time. That’s a good option since you’re always on the go.
