In 2021, the finest budget gaming headsets

will be those with mid-range features such as the ATH-AG1 from Audio Technica ($129).

When it comes to gaming headsets, you don't have to spend a lot of money - here are 5 exceptional headsets for under $100.

The best budget gaming headsets on the market, with a price limit of $100 or less, are discussed in this article.

1 Razer BlackShark V2

When compared to other budget headsets on our list, Razer's Black Shark V2 has something unique; THX support. The precision of sound that THX spatial audio provides allows you to pinpoint, with accuracy, the direction and origin of gunshots, footsteps, voices, and anything else you hear while gaming.

The Razer Kraken Pro V2 is a budget-friendly virtual 7.1 surround gaming headset with retractable leatherette ear cups, an in-line remote, and a detachable noise-canceling microphone that delivers a more immersive gaming experience than most other budget headsets. Razer plans to continue progressing with the launch of THX Game Profiles.

2 Roccat Elo 7.1 Air - Best wireless headset

The lack of Bluetooth may be a disadvantage, but the 2.4GHz connection is robust thanks to the USB-A transmitter and, more importantly, the large 50mm drivers deliver excellent sound quality. The surround sound really gives you a sense of spaciousness and can help you figure out where an adversary is in first-person shooters like Overwatch.

The Noble headset features a durable build and excellent sound quality. The microphone is detachable, which is great if you need to take it with you. This headset delivers crisp, clean audio that won't irritate your teammates or cause distracting background noise. We'd just prefer the microphone (which is replaceable).

3 Razer Nari Essential - A solid wireless alternative

It's no surprise that Razer's budget-friendly roots aren't too far behind, but the good news is that this headset still offers plenty of performance for gamers on a tight budget. The excellent features are build and comfort: the basic design is identical to that seen in Razer's more pricey flagship headphones, which are among the most comfortable on the market.

This is by far the most bulky of all Logitech's products, but it's also the lightest. Thanks to a combination of light materials and a headband that effectively distributes the weight, it appears to be surprisingly lightweight. Sound quality is where this headset differs significantly from Razer's more expensive models: 40mm drivers - smaller than the 50.

There's no Razer Chroma lighting support, which is a disadvantage compared to Roccat's wireless headset, but it isn't anything to write home about.
