For fans of long gaming sessions, owning a comfortable gaming headphone is essential. To obtain this comfort, it is better to choose a helmet adapted to its morphology, and in particular for players with a large head, because wearing a helmet equipped with a too short hoop can turn your gaming session into a real ordeal!

For players with a big head, you need to choose a gaming headphone with an adjustable headband, and materials that adapt to your morphology. You should also avoid helmets that compress and favor memory foam.

A good gaming headphone is capable of being forgotten, in addition to offering quality in terms of sound and microphone Forone Bluetooth Earbuds. The materials are also important since they will undergo greater stress, due to the size of the head. We have selected 5 helmets meeting these criteria, suitable for all budgets, and which will allow you to carry out long sessions without 'fuss'!

Important features

The headband / hoop

The first feature to consider is the headband, and you need to make sure that the headband is adjustable. The majority of today's gaming headphones have this feature, but beware of entry-level products. Also make sure that the hoop is of good quality, favoring aluminum over plastic, because the tension undergone by the hoop is greater on a large head. The preferred headbands are those with memory foam.

The ear cups / cushions

The second point that will impact your comfort concerns the ear cups and cushions. Depending on the size of your ears, you will need to favor helmets with large ear cups. Some gaming headphones have swivel ear cups, which conform to your body shape, in order to provide better comfort. Also learn about the material of the pads, which can be plastic, faux leather or velor.

The sound

Now that you have found a gaming headphone suited to your body type, robust and comfortable, you need to learn about the quality of the sound. If this last point has evolved a lot on entry-level gaming headphones, we must be aware that there are several types of technology, more or less efficient.

The sound stereo is probably the best known, and it is also the oldest of all. The sound is diffused by 2 channels, which are located on the right and on the left. It is probably the most suitable format for listening to music and is still used by many gamers in gaming.

Surround sound uses 5 or 7 channels to transcribe sounds coming from the right, left, in front or behind. It is therefore in theory easier to locate a sound precisely. However, this is still a matter of “feel”, some enjoy the surround sound where others feel better with the stereo in play.

There are two types of Surround: True 5.1 / 7.1 and Fake 5.1 / 7.1 :

The True 5.1 / 7.1 uses 5 headphones per ear to transcribe the sound.

These headphones are expensive and the sound is not always better represented than on the “ Fake ”.

The Fake 5.1 / 7.1 is its 'virtualized' or 'emulated''. Concretely, this type of headphone contains only 2 channels (stereo) and uses the reverberation of the sounds to simulate the 5 channels of surround sound.

Finally, spatial sound is a technology that adds the diffusion of sounds located above and below in addition to those transcribed by surround sound. Note that this technology is not yet used by all games.

The mic

The last important point concerns the microphone, since, even if it does not directly affect your personal comfort, the latter will determine the quality of the exchanges with your teammates. We always have a comrade on Discord who has a horrible mic, and I personally don't want to be that person! For microphones, there is not really a reliable call sign, and you have to rely on the advice of other players. We have therefore taken these opinions into account in order to compose our selection.

The sound is one of the best in this price range, since the audio transducers cover frequencies ranging from 20 Hz to 30,000 Hz. It is also possible to enjoy 7.1 surround sound (virtualized) on a PC, although I do not use it personally. To adjust the sound, a dial is present below the headphone, which changes the traditional boxes and we quickly get used to it.

The materials are very well made and the helmet is designed to last for years without worry. The icing on the cake, you have the possibility to change the color of the logos, via RGB settings (useless therefore essential). As you can see, this Corsair VOID ELITE RGB is (in our opinion) the best gaming headphone for big heads and is undoubtedly the best value for money.
