Ten different headsets are ranked here for 2026. Number 1 is the premium listing that names PC, PlayStation and Xbox together. Later places are the premium alternative, the Xbox listing, the competitive wireless set, the mid-range wireless set, then the wired headsets. The last place is a second USB headset.
The order compares the Amazon.co.uk listing for each model, opened on 15 October 2026. Published reviews were used only to check that the two SteelSeries Nova Pro models are different products. Discover Cart has not worn or measured these headsets. A figure is a listing claim unless a published test is named. Prices are not copied. Star ratings, review counts and scores are omitted because Discover Cart has not measured these headsets and an authorised Amazon API is not connected.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni
SteelSeries
The graphite Arctis Nova Pro Omni is first because the title names PC, PlayStation and Xbox together, then the bullets add up to five devices and a mix of 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth. Active noise cancellation, a ClearCast Pro microphone and hi-res 96 kHz/24-bit wireless are also on the listing. The Nova Pro Wireless below keeps hot-swap batteries, but its title does not name Xbox. Choose the Omni when those three machines share one headset.
Key features
PC, PlayStation and Xbox named in one title
Up to five devices, mixing 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth
Active noise cancellation and a ClearCast Pro microphone
Hi-res 96 kHz/24-bit wireless, in graphite
Best for. A player who uses PC, PlayStation and Xbox and wants one premium wireless listing that names all three.
Advantages
The title is the only one in this lineup that names PC, PlayStation and Xbox together.
The bullets name up to five devices, a mix of 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, and active noise cancellation.
Disadvantages
The five-device and noise-rejection lines are listing claims. Discover Cart has not connected five machines or measured the microphone.
A model code was not in the title. Confirm the graphite Omni, ASIN B0GVZFQ8N2, on the live page before you buy.
The Nova Pro Wireless is second for two hot-swap batteries, a base that keeps a spare charging, and active noise cancellation, all named on this listing. The title covers PlayStation, PC, Switch and Bluetooth, which is a wide set, but it does not name Xbox the way the Omni title does. That missing Xbox line is why it sits second. It suits a PlayStation, PC or Switch desk where a flat battery would stop the game.
Key features
Two hot-swap batteries, with the spare charging in the base
PlayStation, PC, Switch and Bluetooth named in the title
Active noise cancellation and a ClearCast Gen 2 microphone
Xbox is not named in this title
Best for. A PlayStation, PC or Switch player who wants the Nova Pro Wireless listing with two hot-swap batteries.
Advantages
The title and a bullet both describe two hot-swap batteries and a base that charges the spare.
Active noise cancellation and a ClearCast Gen 2 microphone are named on this listing, not assumed from the Omni.
Disadvantages
Xbox is not in the title. The Omni listing is the one that names Xbox with PC and PlayStation.
The listing colour is not in the title. Unlimited battery life is the maker’s claim, not a measurement for this guide.
The blue Stealth 700 Gen 3 is third as the Xbox listing. The title names Xbox, PS5, PC and mobile, with Bluetooth, 60 mm drivers and an 80 hour battery figure. A 9 September 2026 SoundGuys note singles this generation out for Xbox. It sits under the two Nova Pro models because those listings name noise cancellation and multi-device bases this title does not. The specification table names only Xbox, so confirm the other machines on the live page.
Key features
Title leads with Xbox and also names PS5, PC and mobile
Bluetooth, 60 mm drivers and an 80 hour battery figure
Flip-to-mute microphone
Blue, model TBS-2101-25
Best for. An Xbox player who wants the blue Stealth 700 Gen 3 listing, model TBS-2101-25.
Advantages
The title leads with Xbox, and a 9 September 2026 SoundGuys note also singles this generation out for Xbox.
Bluetooth, 60 mm dual drivers, an 80 hour battery figure and a flip-to-mute microphone are printed in the title.
Disadvantages
The compatible-devices row names only Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, while the title also names PS5, PC and mobile.
The contents say receiver in the singular, while a bullet says transmitters in the plural. Check how many dongles the offer includes.
The black BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed is fourth because the listing sells it as a light esports set: 280 g, 50 mm TriForce drivers, and HyperSpeed 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth. That choice is or, not two streams together. It sits under the Stealth 700 because Xbox is not in this title, and under the Nova Pro models because they name noise cancellation and a battery base. It suits competitive play on the machines the listing names.
Key features
Black wireless esports headset listed at 280 g
50 mm TriForce drivers and a HyperClear microphone
2.4 GHz HyperSpeed or Bluetooth, not both at once
Xbox is not named in the title
Best for. A competitive player who wants the black V2 HyperSpeed listing, not the newer V3 Pro.
Advantages
The title prints 280 g, 50 mm drivers and a wideband microphone, so the light esports claim is on the listing.
A bullet names HyperSpeed 2.4 GHz for low-latency play, with Bluetooth as the other wireless choice.
Disadvantages
Xbox is not in the title, so this is the wrong card if the console has to be named on the product page.
The wireless line says 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth. Do not read that as two streams you hear at the same time.
The carbon VOID v2 is fifth as the wireless set whose title names a 70 hour battery, 50 mm drivers, Dolby Atmos, and a switch between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth. The platforms in the title are PC, PS5, PS4, Switch and mobile, not Xbox. It sits under the BlackShark because that listing leads with a low-latency esports radio, and under the Stealth because Xbox is named there. A note ties the 2.4 GHz claim to RGB being off.
Key features
Carbon finish, with a 70 hour battery claim
2.4 GHz or Bluetooth, switched with a button
50 mm drivers and Dolby Atmos
PC, PS5, PS4, Switch and mobile; Xbox is not in the title
Best for. A PC, PlayStation, Switch or mobile player who wants the carbon VOID v2 wireless listing.
Advantages
The title names a 70 hour battery and a dual-wireless setup for PC, PlayStation, Switch and mobile.
A bullet says a button switches between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, and names 50 mm drivers and Dolby Atmos.
Disadvantages
Xbox is not in the title. The Stealth 700 listing is the one that leads with Xbox.
The low-latency 2.4 GHz line is marked as with RGB off. Do not assume that figure with lighting switched on.
The Cloud III is sixth because it is wired, so it cannot do the 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth jobs above it. The title names PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, plus USB-C, USB-A and a 3.5 mm jack, angled 53 mm drivers and a 10 mm microphone. That mix of plugs is why it leads the wired group. The Nova 1 below is a 3.5 mm jack only. This is the wired Cloud III, not the wireless Cloud III S.
Key features
Wired USB-C, USB-A and a 3.5 mm jack
PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S named in the title
Angled 53 mm drivers and a 10 mm microphone
Black and red, with DTS named in the title
Best for. A PC, PS5 or Xbox Series player who wants the wired Cloud III in black and red, not the wireless Cloud III S.
Advantages
The title names PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on one wired headset, with USB-C, USB-A and a 3.5 mm jack.
Angled 53 mm drivers, a 10 mm microphone, DTS and a metal frame are written on the listing.
Disadvantages
There is no 2.4 GHz dongle and no Bluetooth in the title, so it cannot replace the wireless sets above.
This is the wired Cloud III. Do not confuse it with the wireless Cloud III S, which is a different model and is not in this lineup.
The Arctis Nova 1 is seventh because model 61606 is a 3.5 mm cable, with no 2.4 GHz dongle named. It stays under the Cloud III, whose title adds USB-C and USB-A as well as a jack and names Xbox Series X|S. The Nova 1 title names PC, PS5, PS4 and Xbox, and a bullet adds Mac, Switch and mobile on that same jack. It sits above the JBL because this listing names a retractable ClearCast microphone and spatial audio.
Key features
Wired 3.5 mm jack, model 61606 in black
PC, PS5, PS4 and Xbox named in the title
Retractable ClearCast Gen 2 microphone
No 2.4 GHz dongle named on the listing
Best for. A player whose PC or controller already has a 3.5 mm headphone port.
Advantages
The title names PC, PS5, PS4 and Xbox, and a bullet says the same 3.5 mm jack also covers Mac, Switch and mobile.
The listing names a retractable ClearCast Gen 2 microphone, AirWeave cushions, and volume and mute controls on the headset.
Disadvantages
The noise-control field says active noise cancellation, while the microphone copy describes up to 25 dB of background reduction. Do not treat that as headset cancellation.
Ear placement says On Ear and form factor says Over Ear. This award describes the jack, not a price.
The black Quantum 100M2 is eighth as a wired 3.5 mm headset. A bullet names PC, Mac, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, mobile and VR, with a detachable boom microphone and memory-foam cushions. It sits under the Nova 1 because that listing names ClearCast and spatial audio, and under the Cloud III because that title adds USB plugs. It sits above the Kraken because the Kraken is a USB headset whose surround note is for Windows, not this jack list.
Key features
Wired 3.5 mm jack, in black
Bullets name PC, Mac, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, mobile and VR
Detachable boom microphone
JBL QuantumSOUND named on the page
Best for. A player who wants a black wired 3.5 mm JBL headset with a detachable microphone.
Advantages
A bullet names PC, Mac, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, mobile and VR on the wired headset.
The box line lists the headset and a detachable microphone, so the mic is not only in the product name.
Disadvantages
The connection is a 3.5 mm jack. The Cloud III listing is the one that also names USB-C and USB-A.
This place is about the jack and the platform list. No price is copied from the listing.
The black Kraken V3 X USB is ninth because the listing is a wired USB headset, not a 3.5 mm jack and not a 2.4 GHz radio. The title names 285 g, 40 mm TriForce drivers, a HyperClear microphone and Chroma RGB. A bullet says 7.1 surround is available on Windows. It stays under the JBL, whose bullet names Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and mobile on a jack, and above the EKSA, whose Amazon offer was unavailable on 15 October 2026.
Key features
Wired USB headset in black, with Chroma RGB
285 g and 40 mm TriForce drivers
HyperClear cardioid microphone
7.1 surround listed for Windows
Best for. A Windows PC player who wants the black Kraken V3 X with USB and earcup lighting.
Advantages
The title names USB, 285 g, 40 mm drivers, a cardioid microphone and Chroma RGB on one headset.
A bullet says the earcup lighting can be customised, so the RGB claim is not only in the product name.
Disadvantages
The surround line is for Windows. The JBL bullet is the one that names Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and mobile.
This place describes the USB and lighting role. No price is copied from the listing.
The grey EKSA E1000 is tenth because it is a wired USB headset with RGB lighting, and the bullets name PC, PS4 and PS5. They also name 50 mm drivers, 7.1 surround, a noise-cancelling microphone and a 2.2 m cable. It sits under the Kraken, whose title names a weight and a cardioid microphone, while this listing does not. On 15 October 2026 the Amazon.co.uk offer said the item was currently unavailable, so confirm stock on the live page.
Key features
Wired USB for PC, PS4 and PS5
50 mm drivers and 7.1 surround on the listing
Noise-cancelling microphone, mute and volume on the cable
Gray, with RGB lighting named in the title
Amazon offer unavailable on 15 October 2026
Best for. A PC or PlayStation player checking whether the grey EKSA E1000 USB listing is back in stock.
Advantages
The bullets name USB for PC, PS4 and PS5, plus 50 mm drivers, 7.1 surround and RGB lighting.
A bullet names a 2.2 m cable, an adjustable headband and memory-foam cushions.
Disadvantages
On 15 October 2026 the Amazon.co.uk offer said this item was currently unavailable, with no return date.
The details row says sound isolation. The microphone copy describes noise cancelling on the mic, not headset cancellation.
Each place is a different model. The wired HyperX Cloud III is not the wireless Cloud III S. The Nova Pro Wireless in second place is the listing this affiliate link opens, not a different Nova Pro colour or the Nova Pro Omni. The BlackShark here is the V2 HyperSpeed, not the V3 Pro.
Awards describe the job of that listing inside this lineup. They are not prices, and they are not scores. Entry-level, mid-range and budget refer to the connection and the features printed on the page, not to a cost. TechRadar, PC Gamer and WIRED describe the Nova Pro Omni as a newer multi-system model and the Nova Pro Wireless as the older hot-swap model, so both stay. This order is not a laboratory test.
Each headset has one button. The button uses the affiliate link supplied for that exact model. It opens Amazon in a new tab. On 15 October 2026 the EKSA E1000 offer said the item was currently unavailable.

Start with the machines you actually play on
Number 1 is the listing that names PC, PlayStation and Xbox in one title. If you only play on Xbox, the Stealth 700 Gen 3 is the more precise place to start. A wired jack cannot do the job of a 2.4 GHz dongle.
If a title names one set of machines and another row names fewer, read the live offer before you buy.
One button, then the seller
Each headset has one Check price card. It opens that model’s Amazon.co.uk page. It does not freeze the seller, the stock or the return window.
