Know your gear
- Driver size — The speaker inside each earcup. Larger, well-tuned drivers usually deliver fuller bass and a wider sense of space.
- Active noise cancelling (ANC) — Microphones listen to the room and cancel steady background noise — fans, AC, traffic — so you can focus on the game.
- Microphone — Detachable and boom mics sit close to your mouth for clear voice chat; noise filtering removes keyboard clicks and background sound.
- IEMs (in-ear monitors) — Earphones that seal in your ear canal — excellent isolation and very precise imaging, which is why many pro players use them under headsets.
- DAC / amplifier — Converts digital audio to analog and powers your headphones — cleaner, louder and more detailed than a typical PC or phone headphone port.
- 4.4 mm balanced output — A separate signal path for each channel — more power and lower noise for headphones and IEMs that support it.
