Our Picks

Lowest Price Here1 of 5

Redragon H888 Wireless Gaming Headset

Redragon's H888 weighs 168g and offers 2.4GHz, Bluetooth and wired modes.

Best for

Keeping the cost under $50.

Skip if

Its battery life is not published, which rules it out if you need that number.
Redragon H888 Wireless Gaming Headset

Why we like it

Its mic detaches when you only need headphones. It matches the Cloud Jet on driver size (40mm). You get a detachable boom microphone here, which sets it apart from the Cloud Jet and its an included microphone.

It also offers three connection modes and a detachable microphone. On a PC, use the 2.4GHz dongle for games and keep Bluetooth for a phone, since Bluetooth adds latency. A 3.5mm plug means it works with a controller or front-panel jack; on PC, a separate mic and headphone jack may need a splitter.

It undercut the Ozeino Wireless and every other pick on price at the time of writing. The maker doesn't give its battery life; if that figure matters, the NUBWO G06 runs for 100 hours.

Largest Drivers2 of 5

Ozeino Wireless Gaming Headset

Ozeino's wireless model pairs 50mm drivers with 2.4GHz and Bluetooth at a budget price.

Best for

Players who favour a fuller low end.

Skip if

Skip it if price comes first: the Redragon H888 cost less when we checked.
Ozeino Wireless Gaming Headset

Why we like it

The maker claims 40 hours of battery life. Its 2.4GHz link has under 30ms delay, and it plugs in over USB-A or USB-C. The 50mm drivers suit budget console and PC gaming.

It also works over USB-C, which suits handhelds and some consoles. On battery life it sits mid-pack at 40 hours: the NUBWO G06 runs for 100 hours, and the Cloud Jet comes in at 25 hours. Its 50mm driver size is the largest here; the Redragon H888 comes next at 40mm.

It shares a boom mic microphone with the NUBWO G06 and Valorise; the Cloud Jet goes with an included microphone. On a PC, use the 2.4GHz dongle for games and keep Bluetooth for a phone, since Bluetooth adds latency. On price it sat second of 5, between the cheaper Redragon H888 and the pricier NUBWO G06, at the time of writing.

Longest Battery Life3 of 5

NUBWO G06 Wireless Gaming Headset

NUBWO's G06 offers up to 100 hours of battery life across 2.4GHz and Bluetooth.

Best for

Players who hate charging mid-week.

Skip if

Its driver size is not published, which rules it out if you need that number.
NUBWO G06 Wireless Gaming Headset

Why we like it

That is the longest figure among the budget wireless headsets here. A 2.4GHz dongle keeps latency low, and the 1,200mAh battery is rated for up to 100 hours. It suits long sessions without charging.

On battery life it leads this guide at 100 hours, ahead of the Valorise (45 hours). It shares a boom mic microphone with the Ozeino Wireless and Valorise; the Cloud Jet goes with an included microphone. On a PC, use the 2.4GHz dongle for games and keep Bluetooth for a phone, since Bluetooth adds latency. The maker doesn't give its driver size; if that figure matters, the Ozeino Wireless comes in at 50mm.

Valorise Wireless Gaming Headset

Valorise offers 45 hours on 2.4GHz and up to 100 hours on Bluetooth, with a 3.5mm cable as a fallback.

Best for

Buyers who want up to 100 hours on Bluetooth.

Skip if

Pass if a published driver size matters; this one has none.
Valorise Wireless Gaming Headset

Why we like it

It suits long sessions away from a charger. Its 45 hours battery life ranks second of 4 here, behind the NUBWO G06 (100 hours) and ahead of the Cloud Jet (25 hours). Like the Ozeino Wireless and NUBWO G06, it has a boom mic microphone, while the Redragon H888 uses a detachable boom microphone.

On a PC, use the 2.4GHz dongle for games and keep Bluetooth for a phone, since Bluetooth adds latency. A 3.5mm plug means it works with a controller or front-panel jack; on PC, a separate mic and headphone jack may need a splitter. It was priced above the NUBWO G06 and below the Cloud Jet at the time of writing.

The catch

There is no published driver size figure, whereas the Ozeino Wireless comes in at 50mm.

Premium Pick5 of 5

HyperX Cloud Jet Dual Wireless

The Cloud Jet is the entry point to dual wireless, pairing a 2.4GHz dongle with Bluetooth 5.3 at a budget price.

Best for

Spending more than the Valorise costs for the fullest feature set in this group.

Skip if

Pass on it if shorter 25-hour battery rules it out for your setup.
HyperX Cloud Jet Dual Wireless

Why we like it

Its 25-hour battery is the shortest here, so plan to charge it every few days. Volume, mic mute and connection switching sit on the headset, and mesh ear pads with an elastic suspension headband keep it light on long sessions. On battery life it trails the group at 25 hours, while the NUBWO G06 runs for 100 hours.

It matches the Redragon H888 on driver size (40mm). An included microphone is unique to it among these picks, while the Ozeino Wireless uses a boom mic microphone. On a PC, use the 2.4GHz dongle for games and keep Bluetooth for a phone, since Bluetooth adds latency. It was the most expensive pick when we checked, so weigh what it adds over the Valorise.

Pros

  • Dual wireless: dongle plus Bluetooth

Cons

  • Shorter 25-hour battery
  • Battery life trails the NUBWO G06 (100 hours)
  • Driver size trails the Ozeino Wireless (50mm)

The catch

If battery life is your priority, the NUBWO G06 (100 hours) is the stronger choice.
