any video game from a fun distraction into a fully immersive experience.<\/p>\n<p>Our picks for the five best high-end gaming headphones you can buy in South Africa are listed below.<\/p>\n<h3

as the original Arctis 7, which emphasizes subtle sounds to give you an audio advantage when playing your favourite titles.<\/p>\n<p>The Arctis 7P 2.4 GHz wireless audio is designed for ultra-low latency to avoid interference when gaming.<\/p>\n<p>It also features a noise-cancelling and retractable Discord-certified ClearCast bidirectional microphone, while the compact USB-C dongle allows you to transition between PS5, PS4, PC, Android, and Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Arctis-7P-01.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">R4,799<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT is incredibly comfortable thanks to its premium memory foam earpads.<\/p>\n<p>This headset features 50mm high-density neodymium speaker drivers that deliver impeccable sound with a frequency range of 20Hz-40,000Hz \u2014 double that of typical gaming headsets.<\/p>\n<p>It works wirelessly with PCs, via USB with PlayStation consoles, and uses Bluetooth to connect to mobile devices and smart TVs.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you can connect it to a Nintendo Switch, an Xbox controller, or an older system via a 3.5mm audio cable, so there&#8217;s very little that the Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT can&#8217;t do.<\/p>\n<p>However, the headset\u2019s battery life doesn\u2019t match its price, and many of Corsair\u2019s competitors can run for twice as long \u2014 the Arctis 7P is a good example.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, a great headset should offer top-quality comfort and great sound, and the Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT provides both.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Virtuoso-RGB-Wireless-XT.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

background noise.<\/p>\n<p>However, the mic settings are where the real fun is. These are compatible with the Logitech G HUB software which has multiple customization options, including the Blue Voice technology for a boom microphone.<\/p>\n<p>This allows you to cycle between several mic balance presets, or make your own using options like noise reduction as well as an expander, limiter, compressor, de-esser, and high pass filter.<\/p>\n<p>These options, in addition to the
