In many games the ability to hear in-game cues clearly is the difference between victory and respawn. A good pair of headphones makes it easy to hear (and play without bugging your housemates). We’ve tracked down the best Xbox One wireless headsets .
Now, like with any set of earphones or headphones, there’s quite a lot to consider first of all. You want your headset to offer fairly powerful and accurate sound, so that you can hear exactly what’s going on and where. However, you also want them to be comfortable.
