The short answer

For a wired gaming headset, check the driver size, the plug, the microphone and the sound mode. The G606 7.1 RGB Gaming Headset has 50mm drivers, a 7.1 listening mode for placing footsteps and shots, and a boom mic on a 3.5mm plug. The H83 Deep Bass Surround Pro has 50mm neodymium drivers tuned for deep bass, padded leatherette ear cups and a built-in mic. Both have RGB ear cups and both are wired.

What to check before you buy

  • Driver size: both headsets use 50mm drivers.

  • Sound mode: the G606 is listed with 7.1 listening and positioning. The H83 is tuned for deep bass and spatial sound.
