Best Gaming Headsets for Rainbow Six Siege – BUYER’S GUIDE

What is clear is that you will want a mic. Communication is a critical aspect of team-based competitive games so you’d be letting your team down if you can’t speak up to make those all-important calls. Most competitive/professional players thus opt for a headset; the combination of headphones + mic is a lot more convenient, and if you’re going to LANs often you don’t want to drag an external mic around. Furthermore, most headset mics are designed to limit the amount of background noise that gets picked up, something that not all external mics are made for.

In any case: you need to make sure that you go for a high quality audio experience that isn’t too ‘cinematic’ (or at least allows you to choose between different equalizer settings) where the bass has been boosted so much that the mid range (footsteps, reload sounds, …) gets drowned out. The quality of the mic isn’t as important. It doesn’t really matter if you sound a bit tinny when making callouts, though you obviously don’t want to use a staticky low quality mic from the early 90’s either.

And then, perhaps most importantly, you will want comfort. You’re going to be having this thing on your dome for hours on end, so it’s important to get a headset that feels good to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a headset good for Rainbow Six Siege?

To clarify: you don’t absolutely need a headset to game. A pair of headphones  and a separate mic works just as well, so if you’ve got a decent pair of headphones lying around you can definitely go for a modmic or something like a Blue Yeti.

WRAP UP

Your gear is of crucial importance if you want to reach the top in any game or sport. Even something that can ‘only’ add 1% to your performance is worth adding to your setup. At the highest levels these small advantages really make the difference, and even if you’re not playing at the highest ranks having good gear can really improve your consistency and thus overall value as a player.
