The most popular headsets are calculated based on 155 professional League of Legends players.
Introduction
Gaming with speakers is never a good idea. It means that positional audio is going to be wonky, you usually can’t raise the volume too high, and you disturb housemates after a while. Gamers are usually spotted with a headset on their dome for a reason; headphones are just way better at isolating you from your surroundings (if that’s what you want; you can of course also get open-backed headphones) allowing you to focus on your game. Slap a microphone on there and you’ve got an ideal two-in-one solution that allows players to communicate with their teammates (something that’s vital in team games) and hear what they need to hear.
In this list we’ve gathered the most popular headsets with League of Legends professionals so that you can hopefully learn a thing or two that’ll help you with your next headset purchase.

What makes a headset good for League of Legends?
There are some debates as to whether or not the sound in League of Legends is actually something useful, but whatever your position on that argument is: it’s a certainty that you’ll want a pair of cans on your head for gaming.
What makes a headset good for League of Legends depends greatly on something personal: comfort. You can have the best sounding headset in the world, but if it hurts your skull after wearing it for just two hours you’re never going to be able to rely on it for gaming, so comfort is definitely one of the main considerations when buying a headset.
If you go online you’ll notice that audiophiles often recommend you to ditch dedicated gaming headsets and go for a pair of regular headphones and an external mic. This is an option, and if the quality of your voice is important (for content creators, for example) it’s an avenue you’ll want to consider given the fact that headset microphones, no matter how good they are, will never be as good as dedicated broadcast microphones.
With that said: most gamers aren’t content creators, and as such a headset is a far more convenient all-in-one solution for most people. The days of headset microphones sounding like cold war era walkie talkies are also behind us; there are definitely headsets out there that can reliably be used for long conversations without them bothering the person on the other side of the call.
Logitech G Pro X 2 LIGHTSPEED
The Logitech G Pro X 2 LIGHTSPEED is the refined successor to the original G Pro X, maintaining that iconic professional aesthetic while introducing a major internal upgrade: graphene drivers. These 50mm drivers are stiffer and lighter than traditional ones, resulting in a cleaner sound with less distortion, which is perfect for keeping track of ability sounds and pings in the middle of a chaotic teamfight. It also sounds great for when you’re listening to music.
Logitech also improved the physical design by adding rotating hinges, making the headset much more comfortable to wear around your neck during breaks. The battery life has seen a massive jump as well, now offering up to 50 hours on a single charge. Combined with the legendary Blue VO!CE software for microphone customization and the addition of Bluetooth connectivity, this is a top-tier choice for any LoL player looking for a premium, reliable wireless experience.

It’s a wireless headset with a battery life of 50 ingame hours with a great build quality and a high quality sound profile that performs great ingame due to the excellent directional audio. It’s not a super neutral headset, but it does have a very interesting sound profile if you ask me.

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro
The BlackShark line is Razer’s take on a no-nonsense, straightforward gaming headset, and it is a fantastic effort. The Pro is the wireless version (there is also the wired version) and it’s one of the better mid tier esports-focused wireless gaming headsets on the market if you ask us.
What you’re getting here is a headset that nails the essentials: you get great spatial audio and a very good overall audio experience. On top of that it’s also very comfortable to wear and has very good (passive) noise isolation so that you can focus on your game without being distracted. If you’re after a no-nonsense type of headset like the ever-popular HyperX Cloud II that sets the standards a little higher when it comes to overall sound and finish, then the BlackShark V2 Pro is one to look at.

The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is an impressive competitive gaming headset. It has just about the best (wireless) mic on the market right now, and it also gets top marks when it comes to battery life and range. Combine that with the very respectable sound quality (once you’ve tweaked the EQ a bit) and great positional audio and you’ve got a quality competitive gaming audio product.

Logitech G Pro X Headset
The original Logitech G Pro X remains a staple in the pro scene, even if it’s now considered the “old guard” of the lineup. While it lacks the graphene drivers of its successor, it still delivers a remarkably balanced audio profile that holds up in today’s market. Its sturdy aluminum and steel construction is great for durability, making it a reliable ‘workhorse’ headset that can survive years of daily use.
If you don’t mind the wired connection (or the shorter battery life on the older Wireless model), the G Pro X is still a fantastic, high-performance choice that often comes at a much friendlier price point than the newer versions

Razer BlackShark V3 Pro
The BlackShark V3 Pro is the successor to the V2 Pro, and it brings a couple of improvements to the table. The most eye-catching difference is the fact that the V3 Pro comes with Active Noise Cancelation, but it also has dual wireless connectivity, a better mic, and better sound overall.
If you ask us, this is one of the best dedicated gaming headsets out there right now, and if you’re looking for a classy headset that’s aimed at professional gamers, this is a great choice. With a battery life of up to 70 hours, you also won’t be stuck jungling without sound.

ASTRO A50
The A50 is one of ASTRO’s top-of-the-line gaming headsets, and you will have to pay a pretty penny if you decide to go for this wireless flagship headset.
ASTRO goes through some trouble in order to justify the price, though. You get a ton of customization options in order to make the audio suit your preferences, and the headset comes with a bunch of physical extras such as the handy charging dock so that you can just rest your headset in there after a hard day of working/gaming.
If you’re looking for subtlety then the A50 definitely isn’t it, but if you are looking for a top tier wireless gaming headset you could definitely take a look at this one.

Sennheiser GAME ONE
The vast majority of gaming headsets feature a closed-back design, meaning that the ear cups/covers are completely sealed off. This is great for noise isolation, but open-backed designs do allow for a wider and more realistic soundstage.
This GAME ONE is an open-backed headset. You’re getting extremely detailed and realistic audio with this headset, but you will have to live with the fact that the headset leaks sound and that the noise isolation is almost non-existent. If you are gaming in a quiet environment and you’re looking for a lightweight gaming headset that’s extremely comfortable with fantastic sound quality, you should definitely look towards the GAME ONE, however. It’s one of the best ‘back to basics’ type of gaming headsets out there.

The Sennheiser GAME ONE is the brand’s open-backed ‘basic gaming headset’. The GAME ONE comes without any bells and whistles and focuses on sound quality and comfort above all else. Note that its open-backed design means that it will leak audio and have poor isolation performances, but this is by design.

Corsair VOID RGB Elite
Wireless headsets might be getting more and more popular and the demand for them is going up, but their prices (in general) don’t really seem to be going down. If you’re looking to get a wireless gaming headset that doesn’t break the bank, this might be a good one to consider.
The Corsair VOID RGB Elite isn’t the absolute best out there: the fit won’t suit everyone and if you have a smaller head it can even feel very loose, and the sound quality doesn’t exceed ‘decent’ either, but if you’re in the market for a cordless headset that very much looks like a gaming headset you can always consider this one.
