Best Surround Sound Gaming Headset for Xbox 360

To provide all-round, great gaming fun on your Xbox 360, you need to pair it with the best headset, for good audio. Scroll down to see some of the top models.

The graphics, the gameplay, what else contributes to the ultimate Xbox 360 gaming experience? The sound system! Imagine playing Battlefield 3 without the gunfire and bodies-hitting-the-pavement sound effects. The whole fun of gaming is lost due to poor sound quality. And as a player, you lose out on tactical advantages. The silent footsteps, the sirens, the subtle hints about your opponent’s position that a sound effect provides, all lost because of external noise or poor headset quality. The best headset for your Xbox 360 provides sound quality, easy controls and fits comfortably on your head. And an added perk in sound quality is surround sound.

All headphones and headsets are not equipped with surround sound, as it is a different sound technology altogether. With regular headphones, sound seems to come from within your head itself, or at your ears. This is because the speakers of the headphone are at your ears. Noise and external sound can disturb the sound experience. With surround sound, the speakers are distributed, such that the sound seems to come from everywhere around you. Surround sound envelops you, to provide a very realistic audio experience. To do so, it involves multiple audio channels and uses more power, hence surround sound devices are more expensive than plain stereo ones. You can opt for a surround sound system while gaming, instead of just a headset, but a sound system is infinitely more expensive than a headset. And a headset is less disturbing to others around you.
