Gaming headsets are designed with gamers in mind, with built-in mics for clear communication with your fellow gamers. Some even provide immersive surround sound to really put you at the center of the game's action.

Regular headphones and earbuds are great, but they’re designed specifically for music reproduction. You can use a pair for gaming, but headsets designed for gaming will provide better performance. Gaming headsets have better microphones and offer features like voice mixing and native surround sound decoding.
A lot of gaming headsets support surround sound decoding up to either 5.1 or 7.1 channels. Headsets that can decode 7.1 channels are naturally more immersive.
Communicating intelligibly with your teammates is paramount in an intense game. Some headsets will use a directional boom mic that picks up your voice while rejecting ambient noise, while others have built-in noise filters to keep ambient sounds from coming through your mic.
