Are Bluetooth Headphones Good For Gaming

It's rare seeing a pair of headphones that genuinely shine in almost every regard. But with the WH-1000XM3, Sony has created an indisputable winner, a categorically top-notch set of cans whose only shortcoming is the absence of 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connectivity, something we hardly ever see outside of the gaming market. They do have Bluetooth, though, so as long as you have a smart TV, an Nvidia Shield, a gaming laptop, or a Bluetooth-capable motherboard, you should be set for the reclusive world of active noise canceling. Unlike other noise-canceling headphones, the WH-1000XM3 use an unusually silent QN1 HD noise-canceling processor. In our testing, we found it was able to keep out most sounds, even on the crowded New York City subway. The battery does take a hit for this, but you can take solace in the fact that the WH-1000XM3 last 30 hours fully charged. After 10 minutes of being plugged in via USB-C, Sony claims they can deliver pristine high fidelity sound over five hours. And, to top it all off, volume and playback commands are touch-based. Goodbye forever, inline controls. Image 1 of 6

Never had Bluetooth headphones till now and I'm loving them.

I use this for IP tv. gaming, and retro gaming. The AI scaling works, improves video that is not 4K. Retro gaming is very good. Except it is tricky to setup a bluetooth gamepad. I have not tried many of the capabilities, but it replaced a firestick 4k (very good cheap device).It is not perfect as I can't connect a controller and bluetooth speakers at the same time. The remote sometimes freezes with no reason.

I have been through two (2) other pairs of wireless, bluetooth headphones. Active lifestyle wore them out in about a month. These things don't fall out of your ears, they don't get damaged from sweat or dirt, and they uh..you know..sound good. We tend to forget that we need our headphones to sound good and these really do! Highly, highly recommend.

I bought this for my son on his birthday. We’ve had other gaming headphones that I though we’re good, But when I used them ... wow it was superior sound. I might buy a set for me now.

After researching for a good pair of bluetooth headphones and finally committed to the Sony WH-1000XM3. Sound quality is amazing while doing a great job canceling out any noise. Touch controls seem to work flawlessly and battery life is great. I would definitely recommend these to anyone.

I've read a ton of reviews in my search for some good NC bluetooth headphones, and these kept coming up. I gave them a listen in the airport gadget shop and they indeed sounded better that the others I tried, like the new BOSE headphones. But honestly, I was blown away when I turned them on in the airplane. Wow! Seriously, mind blown.

I love my Bluetooth headphones they are much better than any other headphones I’ve ever had. I have been using them for over four years now and I buy them again and again.

These are some really good headphones. I use these primarily for PC gaming with voice chat. Audio in the headphones is very clear and has a good balance of bass & treble. Good mic as well; my buddy who I game with can hear me clearly. The cushions are also pretty comfortable. I’ve gamed several hours at a time while wearing glasses with minimal to no discomfort. The HyperX PC app is very intuitive. It helps control settings like mic monitoring (which I usually turn on) and equalizer and shows an accurate battery percentage. Battery life is crazy long. I been using these approx. a month off the initial charge, gaming around 20-30 hours a week and I still have about 60% charge.

But, not just for gaming. The battery life is very good and matches the advertised 80 hrs. This is a rare close back planar that sounds good. Planar headphones tend to do poorly when they're made as close backs. The default sound is good for games and music. Details are good and the headphone isn't tuned with bloated bass or grating treble like some gaming headphones.
