In these articles we've done the heavy lifting for you, sorting the wheat from the chaff so to speak, so that you can simply have a read and select the gaming headset that's right for you. But you might still want to know how our expert reviewers arrived at their decisions. Here, we've summarized our extensive reviewing process below.
How we evaluate gaming headsets based on sound quality
A headset's sound quality is critical to how you will experience your game's audio. When evaluating sound quality, nothing beats listening to them while gaming. We listen for two main things — any defects in the sound, and to see how good the headset's audio fidelity is.
Some signs of defects include any rising or falling in the amplitude, static or popping noises, and/or tinniness in the audio profile. Most gaming headsets have already been vetted by the manufacturers for these defects and it's rare to find one that exhibits these issues. Even so, we do occasionally find one and it's our duty to let you know.
On the other hand, we frequently find big differences in the audio fidelity and clarity of headsets. When analyzing audio fidelity, a scale from 1 to 5 is a useful

Netflix will stop disclosing the number of people who signed up for its service, as well as the revenue it generates from each subscriber from next year, the company announced on Thursday. It will focus, instead, on highlighting revenue growth and the amount of time spent on its platform.
"In our early days, when we had little revenue or profit, membership growth was a strong indicator of our future potential," the company said in a letter to shareholders. "But now we're generating very substantial profit and free cash flow."
Netflix revealed that the service added 9.33 million subscribers over the last few months, bringing the total number of paying households worldwide to nearly 270 million. Despite its decision to stop reporting user numbers each quarter, Netflix said that the company will "announce major subscriber milestones as we cross them," which means we'll probably hear about it when it crosses 300 million.
