Selecting the best headsets for Xbox one and Xbox one s can change the way a gamer experiences Xbox games. The amazing sound quality really immerses the user in the game, so they hear people creeping up on you in Fortnite, feels like you are racing through the British countryside in Forza Horizon 4 and you get really involved with the subtle environmental noises in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.  Xbox one headsets should have excellent noise cancelling features so the gamer pays intense attention to the game without getting disturbed by the surrounding noise.

Often the best headsets available for gamers in the market offer a mix of sound quality, comfort and value for money. If the headset has all three qualities it’s a plus. On the other hand the gaming headphones should provide plenty of neat gaming features for the gamer to keep themselves immersed in the game and that could be a second plus. While there are better soundscapes to be found at higher price points, the audio offered by the reasonable ones is also incredibly competitive and well-tuned for gaming, accentuating important audio cues to give you a tactical edge.
