Which gaming headset works with PS5 and Xbox?

Any 3.5 mm headset plugs into both controllers. For wireless, PlayStation and Xbox use different systems, so buy the version made for your console (many ranges have a PS and an Xbox model) or a multi-platform headset that ships with dongles or Bluetooth for both. The platform is in the product name.

Is a wireless gaming headset laggy?

Not on the 2.4 GHz dongle — current wireless headsets match wired latency, which is why they are standard for competitive play. Bluetooth mode on the same headset has more delay and is meant for phone audio, not for gaming.

How long does a wireless gaming headset battery last?

Anywhere from about 20 hours to over 300 depending on the model, with RGB and ANC reducing it. Many charge over USB-C and work wired while charging; some SteelSeries models use swappable batteries. The rated battery life is on each product page.

Do I need 7.1 surround sound?

Virtual surround or spatial audio helps you place footsteps and gunfire in games that support it, and it costs little on modern headsets. A good stereo headset still gives clear direction; competitive players often prefer plain stereo with a wide soundstage.

What is the difference between a gaming headset and headphones?

A gaming headset adds a boom microphone, game-tuned sound and platform features (dongles, console licensing, spatial audio). Headphones are tuned for music and usually have no boom mic. If voice chat matters, a headset is the simpler choice.

Which gaming headset is best for glasses wearers?

Look for soft memory-foam or fabric cushions with a lighter clamp — SteelSeries Arctis and Razer BlackShark ranges are common picks. Leatherette cushions seal better but press the arms of glasses more.

Can I use a gaming headset for work calls?

Yes — USB and Bluetooth gaming headsets work with Teams, Zoom and Discord, and their boom mics are usually clearer than laptop mics. If you want something lighter and more discreet for all-day calls, see Office Headsets.

How fast is delivery for gaming headsets in South Africa?

Evetech ships nationwide via local couriers; Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban are typically quickest and outlying areas take a little longer. Checkout shows the live delivery estimate for your address, and every headset carries a local warranty.

Gaming Headsets 🎧

A gaming headset puts positional audio and a clear mic in one piece of kit — hear footsteps and direction, talk to your squad, and stay comfortable through a long session. This shelf holds every gaming headset we stock, wired and wireless, for PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch.

The choices that matter are platform (PC/console licensing and the connector — USB, 3.5 mm or a wireless dongle), wired versus 2.4 GHz wireless with Bluetooth on the side, mic quality (detachable, retractable or flip-to-mute), comfort and weight for long sessions, and battery life on wireless models. Surround/spatial audio, ANC and RGB are the extras.

Evetech stocks gaming headsets from Razer, SteelSeries, Corsair, Logitech G, HyperX, Turtle Beach, PDP, MSI, Marvo and Lorgar, all with local warranty and fast delivery across South Africa. Looking for buds instead? See Earbuds; work and call headsets live under Office Headsets.
