Much like our last entry – these headsets are much better for players who play on their PS4 more than they are for players on Xbox.

3. Jabra Move
Transitioning away from the gaming world (for a moment) and into the world of exercise.
The Jabra Move headset is an ultra-lightweight headset that sports a more minimalist design. It has an on-ear configuration that helps to keep your ears ventilated and free from background noises.
These headphones have been built to be durable and strong, and at a price tag that is less than a Netflix subscription, it is very difficult to pass this up.
The Jabra Move headset has a relatively simplistic look. But don’t let the simplistic look and design pull you away – because the most simple looking things are also some of the most beautiful things; contradictorily.
The black and blue design offers that cool and mellow vibe and the dirt-resistance mesh fabric that coats the headband will be sure to keep these fantastic headphones clean for weeks on end.
The fabric is breathable – with there being just enough padding to make these very durable, but more importantly… lightweight. Lastly, the stainless steel spine also offers a bit more durability. The steel spine travels down all the way to the earbuds and is surprisingly very flexible.
Aside from the aesthetic, these headphones wouldn’t be on this list if they didn’t offer excellent audio quality. And for $100 you would expect they would. And fortunately, they do.
These are genuinely excellent headphones for those who go to the gym and want to “not get in the zone” but “STAY IN THE ZONE.”
But even if you aren’t a fitness nut and are the opposite, a couch potato, these are still excellent headphones for your own marathon you may be getting ready to partake in.
Your Netflix binge-watching marathon.

4. Voyager Focus
The Voyager Focus (manufactured and designed by Plantronics) are excellent headphones for the office space. These headsets are bit clunky, but the overall the audio experience that you will gain from using these are more than worth the weight.
These have been overwhelmingly praised and highly desired by people who work in the office space and who are in need of noise canceling headphones. Also, these headphones deliver your voice to specific software, video interaction, or messaging clearly and precisely.
This is a Bluetooth headset which makes this a bit more convenient when compared to other headphones. A great feature about this headphone is that you can place the microphone (by moving it upward) to your headset so that it aligns with the top of the headset.
Pros
- Excellent sound quality,
- Supports mobility well,
- Works with commercial softphones,
- Has a 150-foot roaming range
Cons
- Clunky size,
- A bit heavy
Verdict
These headsets are an excellent option for those who need to transfer speech to text accuracy. Furthermore, these are a superb headset for those who are looking to have Skype conferences and Skype calls.
5. Sony MDR1R
Sony is a very well established an known brand; so you can expect nothing but the best with this entry. The Sony MDR1R offers nothing short of excellence in regards to overall appearance as well as the overall quality. They offer two options to how you can use these headphones. The first way through wire charging/connection and the other through the Bluetooth.
These are some of the more expensive headsets, but the overall quality that one can expect is exactly what you paid for.
The overall headset is mostly made of plastic, but their earbuds are made up of synthetic leather and aluminum. Thus giving the earbuds a soft and less rowdy sense of listening (you will hear all the sounds clearly).
These headsets come in two different color schemes. The first being white a brown and the other being red and black.
And oh my – both colors are splendid. But the black and the red are without a doubt the best looking headsets. The synthetic leather is a great decision to have put into the design because it shows that the company is vegan-friendly.
We feel this tidbit (the vegan-friendly) is especially salient as many people of late are becoming a bit more conscious in their understanding of animals and how we should treat them.
That said the Sony MDR1R cable is also removable; thus giving you that wireless attribute as well. It is salient to know that Sony makes some very bold claims about this headset.
And can you really blame them for hyping up their OWN product?
They make a very bold claim that you will be able to achieve a 4-80,000Hz frequency range. But it is best to ignore these claims.
With that said…
That doesn’t mean that you will not receive high-quality audio… because you will. The Sony MDR1R offers a smooth, creamy, lovely, mellifluous and sexy experience that will leave any audiophile weak in the knees from the vibrational frequencies that vibrate through your ear canal and out through their body.
Yeah!
It is that good.
And we mean this not in a salacious way.
Pros
- Superb design,
- Excellent comfort,
- Good Bass management,
- Overall incredible quality
Cons
- A bit expensive (when compared to others headsets),
- Tame treble
Verdict
Overall, the Sony MDR1R delivers one of the best audio experience that you will ever have. Music will sound much clearer and so much sexier with the headphones.
Hear the melodies. Feel the vibe. Enjoy The sounds. Experience the MUSIC.
6. HyperX Cloud Revolver S
Moving back into the gaming world – and into the gaming arena of headsets – the HyperX Cloud Revolver S is an exceptional headset that doesn’t initially come off as “gamey”; but doesn’t let the common look fool you.
The physical design and build of this headset offer some of the best features to have a perfect gaming experience, and this is all because of the makeup and design of this headset. The HyperX Cloud Revolver S is built around a smooth step frame which is very nice to touch and is light on the ears and the head.
The headset is also quite flexible in spite of its somewhat clunky appearance (but like we said don’t let the look fool you). These headsets are both robust and flexible – giving you a much easier time to game for hours on ends.
Usually, for many headsets that have steel or metal incorporated into the design, the metal starts to make noise when it is brushed or tapped or even when there is a bit of sweat dripping.
However, with the matte plastic ear cups, the steel frame can easily pivot to any degree and in almost all direction without having that extra bit of noise interfering with your experience.
The HyperX Cloud Revolver S indeed doesn’t disappoint in the area of quality. The Dolby DSP does an outstanding job of dispensing out the sounds exceptionally. This is important, especially when you are trying to distinguish noises in a rather clamorous environment.
This probably goes without saying but these headphones are great for games like Overwatch, Rainbow Six (oh yeah. Oh heck yeah) and Battlefield. In other words, these are the headphones you will be wanting to use for your games that relying on immediate communication.
Pros
- Excellent all-around sound,
- All-day comfort
Cons
- The mic position can be quite problematic (moves everywhere),
- The cable may be too long
Verdict
Overall, despite the somewhat finicky microphone movement the overall audio experience will genuinely rev up your gaming experience and connect you so much better with your virtual comrades. The faux leather is also (personally) is an excellent inclusion into there headset design.
The memory foam which is also incorporated into the design makes this a very comfortable headset that makes it very easy to play for hours on end without the headset being too strenuous on your ears, neck or head.
These may not be the most stylish headsets but they are still great for he new gamers.
7. Kingston HyperX Cloud II
These headphones are great for gamers who are just getting started into the professional gaming world. These may not be on par with some of the other well-known gaming headsets but don’t let the lack of name and recognition deter you from giving these a look. Because these are some exceptional headset for casual gamers and people just looking to break into the gaming world.
The designers have sacrificed everything that would not add any real value to these headphones. In other words, they focused on the important aspects and ditched everything else that was irrelevant.
So, with that said, can you expect these headsets to sit at the table with the rest of the well-known gaming headset? Well, the answer is a resounding yes.
Although these may not be as fashionable as many other headsets out there don’t the lackluster appearance fool you. This interior of these headsets is where these headsets really stand out and why they are on this list.

Now aside from the interior design, here is where this headset really starts to stand out and shine even more. The Kingston HyperX Cloud II 7.1- channel virtual surrounds sounds are available on PC and Mac through the USB sound card.
