The Bottom Line The Turtle Beach Ear Force AK-R8 headset manages to avoid the design missteps of its predecessor while delivering the same excellent surround-sound experience for games, movies, and music on your PC. If you can get past its tedious setup, the AX Pro 5.1 Gaming Headset performs extremely well and is compatible with pretty much every gaming PC and game console except the Wii. While it may not be ideal for the casual PC gamer, the Megalodon is an incredible sounding and comfortable PC gaming headset that lets you fully customize your sound. The Creative HS-1200 wireless USB gaming headset does a good job with VoIP and games that require voice communication, but overall audio quality is lacking. The ClearChat PC Wireless Headset is great for VoIP sessions, but it falls short on audio quality and long-term comfort.
