Most games consoles come with fairly terrible earphones. (PS4, were looking at you.) Grabbing a high-end headset makes multiplayer gaming a much better experience. While you can start with budget headsets that are far superior to the bundled offerings from the nex-gen consoles, you can extend your budget to get a really elite headset if you want the best. The SteelSeries H is a good contender. Offering 7.1 Dolby surround sound for consoles and PCs alike, the headset is wireless, has swappable batteries; a retractable, directional mic, on-ear cup controls and a battery life of between 12-18 hours. However, at £243.93 on Amazon, theyre a pricey investment.
