Hi all,

 

I'm looking for a gaming headset that will fit comfortably on my massive head. As a guide, I find XL sized crash helmets too tight so I need a headset as accommodating as they come. I'm looking around the £50 mark but going higher isn't a big problem to save discomfort.

 

Thanks.

ASTROs and Logitechs aren't bad, size-wise. The ASTRO A50 seems just right for me around the middle settings, and I wear an XL size hat. The Logitech G930 I was able to keep on mostly small settings out of its huge range. Unfortunately I hear they wear out quickly. My problem was more along the lines of signal drop-off.

Incase you haven't bought one yet, go for the HyperX clouds 1, albeit a bit over budget. Most gaming headsets are junk and ignore 7.1 and 5.1 headsets entirely. I own a pair of G930's and i've gotten more enjoyable sound out of a €30 pair of headphones.

Sound quality is meaningless if you can't wear the cans. Granted it's still important, but fit comes first. Also, most wireless headsets are just automatically going to come with "7.1 virtual surround" as more of a bonus for the price than an actual selling point (despite marketing BS). I know he didn't ask for wireless, but since we're partially on the subject of the G930 I thought I would point that out.

Logitech's are like the worst.....theres so many better options then those.. they sound awful and fall apart so quick :(

HyperX cloud are in my mind your best option.

Siberia are horrible for people with big heads plus their build quality are shit.
