最好的 PC 游戏耳机能够让您在游戏过程中更加清晰,这样您就可以拾取声音并准确确定它们的来源。好的耳机还配有高质量的麦克风,以便您可以清楚地与朋友和队友交谈,最重要的是,好的耳机应该是舒适的,这样它可以承受长时间的游戏而不会太不舒服。
我们将通过分享最佳游戏耳机的详细信息来深入探讨。所有这些选项都是不错的选择,但您会注意到每个选项都可能在特定类别中获胜。
Razer Kraken X – Affordable Comfort ($30-$40)
游戏外围设备制造商面临的最大挑战必须是打造预算合理的游戏耳机系列(budget gaming headset range)。通常,制造商必须为耳机扬声器、麦克风和整体制造质量(build quality)挑选更便宜的组件才能达到更低的价格标签(price tag)。
出于这个原因,我们将取消非常便宜的选择(15-25 美元),因为我们认为整体体验(experience isn)不值得投资。相反,您应该尝试额外投资 10 至 15 美元,以达到 30 至 40 美元的范围。以这个价格,您可以获得价格实惠但可靠的Razer Kraken(Razer Kraken X) X。
Razer Kraken X 雷蛇海妖 X(Razer Kraken X)的设计轻巧舒适。事实上,它非常舒适,以至于我们将Razer Kraken X列为世界上最舒适的游戏耳机之一。
它是 Razer 最轻的耳机,重 250 克。相比之下,世界上最受欢迎的耳机之一HyperX Cloud II重 320 克。耳罩非常柔软且有衬垫,甚至可以紧贴眼镜,这是您可能很难找到的东西。
在这个价位上(price point)当然有一些妥协。音频质量实际上非常适合游戏,但音乐体验(music experience)很差。Razer Kraken X专注于高音和极少的低音,这非常适合您可能会错过的脚步声和游戏中的小动作等声音,但这种声音设计对于大多数歌曲来说并不舒适。重低音的歌曲感觉毫无生气(feel lifeless),而人声重的歌曲会刺激耳朵。总而言之,完全可以用于游戏,但不能用于音乐。
Razer 在这里的设计选择(design choice)很明确——他们想要一款可以很好地播放游戏声音而不会让您的耳朵感到疲倦的耳机。当然,您会在游戏的低沉时刻错过那种魅力,但它是为马拉松游戏玩家(marathon gamer)设计的,也许不是那些寻求更身临其境、更短游戏时间的人。
麦克风质量(microphone quality)还可以,但并不完美。尽管广告另有说明,但它仍会产生很多背景噪音。(background noise)值得庆幸的是,几乎没有静电,您的声音确实被清晰地拾取。您无法移除麦克风,因此Razer Kraken X(Razer Kraken X)肯定是一键通的事情。
HyperX Cloud II – The Most Popular PC Gaming Headset ($75-$100)
HyperX Cloud II无疑是世界上最好的 PC 游戏耳机之一,仅以受欢迎程度为基础。有道理,Cloud II是(Cloud II)质量和价格(quality and price)之间的完美平衡。零售价为 100 美元,但您很少会在亚马逊(Amazon)上找到高于 80 美元的新品。
那么是什么让HyperX Cloud II受到如此广泛的喜爱呢?或许首先要提到的是舒适性和设计感(comfort and design)。标准的记忆泡沫(memory foam)耳垫可以温暖的拥抱您的耳朵,但您也可以换成随附的毛绒耳(plush ear)垫。
麦克风可以根据您的方便进行调整 -(convenience –)它内部有一根大的可弯曲电缆(cable inside),如有必要,您可以将其完全拆下。当然,舒适并不是(comfort isn)一切(t everything),这就是为什么人们经常选择它而不是同样舒适但更轻的Razer Kraken X(Razer Kraken X)。
您可以在 HyperX Cloud II 中听到许多游戏耳机中熟悉的声音设计。(sound design)你会强调高音、合理的中音和缺乏低音。非常适合(Perfect)需要注意每一个声音的竞技游戏,但对于有影响力的爆炸、暴力或 Vrooms 来说就不那么令人印象深刻了。
还有一个可拆卸的声卡(sound card),一侧插入 Cloud HyperX II 的 3.5 毫米插孔,另一侧插入USB 插槽(USB slot)。它具有 7.1 数字环绕声(surround sound)和麦克风和扬声器(microphone and speakers)的单独音量控制。
高音不像一些便宜的选择那样霸道,所以听音乐中的人声是愉快的,但并不完美。不过,由于HyperX Cloud II(HyperX Cloud II)是一款专注于游戏的耳机,因此缺乏低音肯定会促成交易。
HyperX Cloud II的麦克风质量(microphone quality)非常好,它能够最大限度地减少背景噪音(background noise)并专注于您的声音。如果您的队友抱怨,您可以轻松调节音量和麦克风到嘴巴的距离。
如果您想在无线游戏耳机(wireless gaming headset)中获得最佳体验,我们会推荐Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless。
无线最大的问题是电池寿命,尤其是耳机。事实证明,大司机需要很多果汁。值得庆幸的是Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless有两节电池。您可以在玩游戏时为基站(base station)中的一节电池充电,以便在另一节电池电量不足时更换电池。是的,您被迫使用基站(base station)充电,但稍后您会明白为什么没有它您不想去任何地方。
充满电的平均电池寿命(battery life)为 10 小时。如果您不知何故耗尽了两块电池的电量,您可以使用标准的 3.5 毫米插孔,这不需要电源,但会影响您的音频体验。
耳机和基站(base station)之间的 2.4GHz 无线连接非常强大,在合理范围内您不应该遇到任何连接中断。如果您想要额外的安全性,您甚至可以通过蓝牙连接(Bluetooth)Arctis Pro Wireless。这也使其可以在智能手机等典型的蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备上使用。
再一次,这是一款游戏耳机(gaming headset),因此更加注重高音、合理的中音,而较少强调低音。这对游戏来说非常棒,如果您打开数字 7.1环绕声(surround sound),您将毫无问题地拾取定向声音。可用的 EQ 设置可以通过基站(base station)进行调整,可以在一定程度上弥补对低音的渴望。它比软件均衡器要好,但它仍然不总是达到目标。
Arctis Pro Wireless的大小适中,为 357 克,采用独特的设计,依靠拉伸的表带紧贴您的头部。其余的重量由漂浮在表带上方的弯曲钢铝合金框架支撑。(steel aluminum alloy frame)总的来说,它很舒服,但需要一点时间来适应。
与大多数耳机一样,Arctis Pro Wireless 麦克风(Arctis Pro Wireless microphone)可以伸出或隐藏在左侧驱动器(left driver)的框架中。音频质量非常好,清晰地捕捉声音,但有效地消除了大多数背景噪音,并且随附的泡沫过滤器(foam filter)有助于减少声音中刺耳的爆裂声。
Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro – The Best Audio Quality PC Gaming Headset ($128)
Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro绝对是在游戏和音乐(gaming and music)期间 以优惠的价格获得高品质音频(quality audio)的最佳选择。问题是,它实际上是一副录音室耳机,这意味着走这条路需要你购买一个独立的麦克风(standalone microphone),并且还建议为你的 PC 购买一个DAC/Amp来为DT 990 Pro提供更多的动力。
售价 75 美元的Fiio E10K是一款经济实惠的选择,它的功率刚好够Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro使用。选择麦克风时,请务必在此处阅读有关最佳麦克风(best microphones here)的信息。
但是,购买 DT 990 (DT 990)Pro和所需的配件在时间和金钱(time and money)上都值得投资。换个角度来看,一些游戏界的大腕特意选择了DT 990。
这些游戏玩家可以选择购买任何价格无关紧要的耳机,并且他们已经赶走了潜在的利润丰厚的外围设备赞助商,转而使用Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro。您会看到Ninja使用DT 990,YouTube 明星(YouTube star) Lazarbeam使用升级后的DT 1990 Pro。
DT 990 Pro采用开放式后背设计(back design),这意味着声场(sound stage)感觉要大得多。这不仅增加了沉浸感,还可以帮助您更轻松地确定定向声音,而无需任何数字环绕声软件(surround sound software)。DT 990 Pro的声音设计(sound design)非常适合游戏,尽管它是录音室耳机(studio headset)。
你会奇怪地发现这种对高音的标志性强调,通常只出现在(signature emphasis)游戏耳机(gaming headset)中。值得庆幸的是,低音和中音(bass and mids)远高于标准游戏耳机(gaming headset),使其成为听音乐的绝佳选择。
有了所有这些投资,您需要花费 200 至 300 美元,并且在设置过程中会出现很多乱七八糟的情况。舒适度很好,但耳垫在长时间使用后会磨损并失去一些缓冲。不是 Cloud 2 或Kraken X 级别(Kraken X level)的舒适度,但足够体面。
概括(Summary)
以上就是我们对 2020 年最佳 PC 游戏耳机的看法。我们专注于四个主要类别,并希望这些选择对您有所帮助。如果您自己有任何建议,为什么不在评论部分留下它们呢?
The 4 Best PC Gaming Headsets
The best РC gaming headsets are ablе to give уou more clarity during gaming, so that you can pick up ѕounds and determіne exactly where they arе comіng from. Gоod headsets also come with high qυality microphones so that you can talk to your frіends and teammates clearly, and most importantly, a good headset should be comfortable so that it can withѕtand long gaming sessions without getting too uncomfortable.
We’re about to go in-depth by sharing details on the best gaming headsets. All of these options are great choices, but you’ll notice each option may win in a specific category.
Razer Kraken X – Affordable Comfort ($30-$40)
The hardest challenge for gaming peripheral manufacturers has to be building a good budget gaming headset range. Usually, manufacturers have to pick out cheaper components for the headset speakers, microphone, and overall build quality to hit a lower price tag.
For this reason, we will be cutting out the very cheap choices ($15-$25) because we believe the overall experience isn’t worth the investment. Instead, you should try to invest an extra $10 to $15 to reach the $30-$40 range. At this price, you can get the affordable, yet reliable Razer Kraken X.
The Razer Kraken X was designed to be lightweight and comfortable. In fact, it’s so comfortable that we would rank the Razer Kraken X amongst one of the most comfortable gaming headsets in the world.
It’s Razer’s lightest headset, weighing in at 250 grams. In comparison, one of the world’s most popular headsets, the HyperX Cloud II, weighs 320 grams. The ear cups are very soft and padded and even fit snugly around glasses, which is something you may struggle to find.
There are of course some compromises at this price point. The audio quality is actually quite good for gaming, but the music experience is very poor. The Razer Kraken X has a focus on treble, and very little bass, which is great for sounds like footsteps and small actions in-game you may otherwise miss, but that sound design is uncomfortable for most songs. Bass-heavy songs feel lifeless, and vocal heavy songs irritate the ears. In summary, perfectly usable for gaming, but not so much for music.
Razer’s design choice here is clear – they want a headset that can play gaming sound well without your ears getting tired. Sure, you miss out on that oomph during bassy moments in gaming, but it’s designed for the marathon gamer and perhaps not those looking for more immersive, shorter gaming sessions.
The microphone quality is okay, but not perfect. It picks up a lot of background noise despite advertising saying otherwise. Thankfully, there’s little static and your voice does get picked up clearly. You cannot remove the microphone, so it’s definitely going to be a push-to-talk affair with the Razer Kraken X.
HyperX Cloud II – The Most Popular PC Gaming Headset ($75-$100)
The HyperX Cloud II is undeniably one of the best PC gaming headset in the world just based on popularity. It makes sense, the Cloud II is the perfect balance between quality and price. The retail price is $100, but you’ll rarely find it above $80 new on Amazon.
So what makes the HyperX Cloud II so widely loved? Perhaps the first thing to mention is the comfort and design. The standard memory foam ear pads cup around your ears with a warm embrace, but you can also switch out to the included plush ear pads.
The microphone can be adjusted to your convenience – it has a large, bendable cable inside and you can detach it completely if necessary. Of course, comfort isn’t everything, and that’s why it’s often picked up instead of the equally comfier, but lighter Razer Kraken X.
A sound design you’ll find familiar across many gaming headsets can be heard in the HyperX Cloud II’s. You get an emphasis on trebles, reasonable mids, and a lack of bass. Perfect for competitive gaming where noticing every sound counts, but a little less impressive for impactful explosions, violence, or vrooms.
There’s also a detachable sound card that plugs into the Cloud HyperX II’s 3.5mm jack on one side and a USB slot on the other side. It features 7.1 digital surround sound and separate volume controls for both the microphone and speakers.
The treble isn’t overbearing like some cheaper choices, so listening to vocals in music is pleasant, but not perfect. That lack of bass certainly seals the deal as the HyperX Cloud II being a gaming-focused headset though.
The microphone quality on the HyperX Cloud II is great, it’s able to minimize background noise and focus solely on your voice. If your squadmates complain, you have the freedom to adjust both the volume and the distance of the microphone to your mouth easily.
If you want the best experience possible in a wireless gaming headset, we would recommend the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless.
Wireless’ biggest concern is battery life, especially for headsets. It turns out big drivers take a lot of juice. Thankfully the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless has two batteries. You can charge one battery in the base station whilst you are gaming so that you can swap out when the other battery is getting low. Yes, you’re forced to use the base station to charge, but you’ll understand later why you wouldn’t want to go anywhere without it.
The average battery life for a full charge is 10 hours. If you somehow run out of power on both batteries, you can use a standard 3.5mm jack and that requires no power, at a cost to your audio experience.
The 2.4GHz wireless connection between the headset and the base station is strong and you shouldn’t hit any drops in connection within reasonable ranges. If you want that extra security you can even connect the Arctis Pro Wireless via Bluetooth. This also opens it up to usage on your typical Bluetooth-enabled devices such as smartphones.
Once again, this is a gaming headset, so there’s a higher focus on treble, reasonable mids, and less emphasis on bass. That’s great for gaming, and if you switch on the digital 7.1 surround sound, you’re going to have no problem picking up directional sounds. The available EQ settings, which can be adjusted with the base station, can somewhat remedy any cravings for bass. It’s better than a software EQ, but it still doesn’t always hit the mark.
The Arctis Pro Wireless is reasonably sized at 357 grams and it uses a unique design, relying on a stretched strap to fit snugly on your head. The rest of the weight is held by a curved steel aluminum alloy frame that floats above the strap. Overall, it’s comfortable, but takes a little getting used to.
Like most headsets, the Arctis Pro Wireless microphone can extend out or hide in the frame of the left driver. The audio quality is excellent, capturing voice clearly but cutting out most background noise effectively and an included foam filter helps to reduce harsh pops in your voice.
Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro – The Best Audio Quality PC Gaming Headset ($128)
The Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro is absolutely the best choice for getting high quality audio during gaming and music at a great price. The trouble is, it’s actually a pair of studio headphones, which means going this route requires you to buy a standalone microphone and it’s also recommended to purchase a DAC/Amp for your PC to give the DT 990 Pro more power.
The $75 Fiio E10K for is an affordable choice that has just enough power for the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro. When choosing a mic, make sure to read about the best microphones here.
However, it’s well worth the investment both in time and money to get the DT 990 Pro and required accessories. To put it into perspective, some of the biggest names in gaming purposely chose to go for the DT 990.
These gamers have the option to buy any headset with price being no concern, and they’ve shooed away potential lucrative peripheral sponsors to instead use the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro. You’ll see Ninja using the DT 990 and YouTube star Lazarbeam using the upgraded DT 1990 Pro.
The DT 990 Pro has an open back design, which means that the sound stage feels much larger. Not only does this add to immersion, but it helps you to pinpoint directional sound far easier without the need for any digital surround sound software. The sound design on the DT 990 Pro is surprisingly perfect for gaming, despite being a studio headset.
You’ll strangely find that signature emphasis on treble, often only seen in gaming headsets. Thankfully, the bass and mids are elevated far higher than a standard gaming headset, making them a great choice for listening to music.
With all of this investment, you’re looking at $200-$300 and a lot of messing around during setup. The comfort is great but the ear pads wear down after extended use and lose some of that cushioning. Not quite Cloud 2 or Kraken X level comfort, but decent enough.
Summary
That wraps up our look at the best PC gaming headsets in 2020. We’ve focused on four main categories and hope that these choices hit the mark for you. If you have any suggestions yourself, why not leave them in the comments section?
