If you’re like us, you’re always researching the latest and greatest in tech. When you game, it’s necessary. Good hardware and software can make all the difference on the battlefield, especially in a fast-paced action shooter like Apex Legends. In its third season now, we’re looking forward to blasting our way out of The Bunker. So, with Apex Legends in mind, here’s a round-up of the top gaming headsets we’re excited for in 2020.

Razer TE

Wireless: No
Drivers: 50mm
Connections: USB, 3.5mm wired
Features: THX Spatial Audio, Retractable Mic, Audio Controls

The Razer Tournament Edition is well-known for its budget-friendly features. Almost $50 cheaper than the Kraken Pro, the TE packs just as much of a punch as its mainstream successor. The TE has implemented THX Spatial Audio, so you can get a great image and rich detail you wouldn’t normally get on basic headphones or speakers. The one downside here is that you’re paying for an external driver to get that great audio, which can be clunky or cause latency on your CPU. There are even on-board audio controls to make adjusting your volume while gaming a breeze. If you’ve got some extra cash around, a Razer TE might just be the headset for your late-night binges on Apex Legends.

Turtle Beach Recon 200

Wireless: No
Drivers: 40mm
Connections: 3.5mm
Features: Bass Boost

Turtle Beach’s Recon 200 headphones are another budget-friendly buy for Apex Legends. On paper it’s perfect. But, the downside? No surround sound. When you’re spending about $40, that can be a deal breaker for some, but it’s still a great headset overall. Though the Recon 200 lacks surround sound audio, the Recon 200 is designed for shooters. You’ll pick up on lots of extra details that your computer speakers just can’t pick up. The features are awesome too; there’s even an always-on Bass Boost that punches up rumbling explosions.

HyperX Cloud Alpha

Wireless: No
Drivers: 50mm
Connections: 3.5mm
Features: Braided Cable, Inline Controls

The most expensive option on this round-up, the HyperX Cloud Alpha, is a decent headset for the dedicated gamer. Unlike with the Recon 200 or Razer TE, you might not wear these headphones out in public, but they pack a punch. Gunfire is easy to pinpoint, and environmental sounds are lush. No surround on this beauty, but you’re getting a quality headphone for a good price.

Audio Royale

While not exactly a headset, there’s something to be said for a sound-driver that unlocks the full potential of your gaming rig with whatever headphones you have laying around. Super easy-to-use and intuitive design by top software and Grammy-winning audio engineers sets it apart from all other traditional surround sound headsets and applications for Apex Legends. There’s bass boost features, volume control, and a whole slew of features right within the app — immediately ready for use. Just download, choose the plan that’s right for you, and start playing.

So, what makes a good headset for Apex Legends? Let’s see. Crystal-clear audio, a solid microphone, and some surround sound applications — at least. In a game this action-packed, you’re going to need to be communicating with your teammates every step of the way, and you need to know exactly where your enemies might be sneaking up on you. We think the best solution is something that’s affordable, no-risk, and works seamlessly with your current set-up. Try it for yourself. Visit getaudioroyale.com today.
