gaming headset

Wearable audio gear

A gaming headset is a headphone-microphone combination designed for video games, typically featuring surround sound simulation, a boom microphone for voice chat, and cushioned ear cups for extended wear.

Most connect via USB or audio jack to consoles or PCs: I can't hear you—let me adjust my gaming headset.
