Headset ($60-$350)
Whether you’re playing games online or just want to chat over Discord with buddies while playing solo, you need a good set of headphones and a mic that won’t make you sound like a supermarket clerk on the loudspeaker circa 1995. While there are dozens of options out there, you can’t go wrong with the wired Xbox Stereo Headset at the cheaper end ($60), or the wireless option if you’re willing to spend a bit more ($100). If you want an even more lux option, however, your best bet is the Arctis Nova Pro ($350). The sound quality is great and AI-noise canceling for both headphones and mic adds an extra layer of clearness.
