I test new gaming audio gear every week — these are the products I can’t game without

I test loads of gaming audio gear from the very latest headsets and earbuds to microphones, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m always changing what’s in my own personal setup. Sure, I often have to swap out what I’m using to try the latest products – but I have a regular roster of gear that I’m always coming back to when I don’t have something new on the go.

I whip out the Astro A20 X for my general gaming audio needs. It has good sound for the price, and offers a fantastic platform switching feature that makes it easy to use multiple systems on one display. If you only play on one platform, then grab the almost identical Logitech G522 Lightspeed, which I used before getting the A20 X, instead.
