The Best Headsets for Small Heads

The maker notes it does not support Xbox. Nothing else here matches its 165g weight; the Redragon H888 comes closest at 168g. You get a dual beamforming (built-in) microphone here, which sets it apart from the Redragon H888 and its a detachable boom microphone.

On a PC, use the Lightspeed dongle for games and keep Bluetooth for a phone, since Bluetooth adds latency. Worth noting: light 165g build. The nearest alternative on battery life is the G535 at 33 hours, against 18 hours here. On price it sat third of 5, between the cheaper Redragon H888 and the pricier G535, at the time of writing.

Its mic detaches when you only need headphones. Its 168g weight ranks second of 5 here, behind the G435 (165g) and ahead of the G535 (236g). A detachable boom microphone is unique to it among these picks, while the G435 uses a dual beamforming (built-in) 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. Its price falls between the WIRWTRU and the G435, based on our last check.

A 3.5mm plug covers PC and consoles. On weight it sits mid-pack at 198g: the G435 weighs 165g, and the G535 comes in at 236g. You get a wired 3.5mm connection here, which sets it apart from the G535 and its a lightspeed 2.4GHz connection.

No other pick in this guide offers a boom mic microphone; compare the INZONE H6 Air, which has an included microphone. 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 cost the least of the 5 picks at the time of writing, with the Redragon H888 the next step up. There is no published battery life figure, whereas the G535 runs for 33 hours.

Sony adapted its drivers from studio monitor headphones and adds a custom equalizer for RPG and adventure games. Its 199g weight ranks fourth of 5 here, behind the G435 (165g) and ahead of the G535 (236g). No other pick in this guide offers a wired connection; compare the WIRWTRU, which has a wired 3.5mm connection.

An included microphone is unique to it among these picks, while the WIRWTRU uses a boom mic microphone. Because it is open-back, other people in the room will hear it, and it will not block outside noise. It was the most expensive pick when we checked, so weigh what it adds over the G535. Buyers who need a confirmed battery life should compare it with the G535, which runs for 33 hours.

It also runs for up to 33 hours and offers a 40mm driver size. On weight it trails the group at 236g, while the G435 weighs 165g. A lightspeed 2.4GHz connection is unique to it among these picks, while the INZONE H6 Air uses a wired connection.

It connects through a USB wireless dongle, so keep a free USB port near your desk for the best range. It makes the most sense for players who hate charging mid-week, since it offers the longest battery life here (33 hours). When we checked, only the G435 and cheaper picks cost less, and the INZONE H6 Air cost more. Driver size is its weakest area, and the G435 covers it better at 40mm.
