The pandemic has caused a lot of individuals to be forced to work from home. Also, since everyone has been forced to remain in their homes, gaming has seen a surge. Both reasons are why many people are looking for headsets. Below is a list of the most popular headset brands, in no order, and why they are the most popular headset brands.
Bose
Bose is currently the official headphone and headset of the NFL. This has contributed a lot to the popularity of Bose headphones since the NFL is a multi-billion-dollar industry.
Bose headphones are popular for their comfortability, sound quality, and noise cancellation features. These headphones are quite expensive and have received criticism for the build quality of their headphones. However, these headphones provide great sound quality, and the noise cancellation that is provided by Bose headphones is phenomenal.
Beats
Like Bose, Beats headphones are the official headphones of a major sports league. Beats headphones are the official headphone and headset of the NBA, USA Basketball, and the WNBA. This has led to Beats gaining popularity.
The Beats headphone brand had already been one of the most popular brands prior to being the official headphone of basketball. The company was founded by Dr. Dre, who is a famous music producer and rapper. This sponsorship of basketball has only increased their popularity.
Beats headphones have evolved over the 15 years that they have been produced. They now feature noise-canceling abilities and have become much more comfortable on the head and ears. This has also led to the popularity of the brand.
Sony
Sony is a very well-established company and because of that their headphones have become popular in the tech industry. Sony is the maker of the PlayStation gaming console, and headsets are a big part of gaming.
Sony’s headsets are used for gaming as well as casually listening to music. Sony headphones can cancel out noise. Also, Sony has produced earbuds for those who do not want a bulky headset.
JBL
JBL has been a growing headset brand in the last five to ten years. They have recently sponsored the entertainment group, 100 Thieves. 100 Thieves is primarily a gaming group that plays games like Call of Duty and CSGO. This sponsorship has led JBL headphones to gain popularity in the gaming industry.
JBL headsets are known for primarily being in-ear, but they also have actual headsets that you can use for gaming. The JBL in-ear earbuds are great for sport use as well as casual use. The headsets are great for gaming and can cancel out outside noise to help with your gaming experience.
Skullcandy
Skullcandy is a headset that was very popular five years ago, but recently they have not gained as much popularity. This is partly due to the other major headset brands that have been on the rise, but the Skullcandy headsets lack some of the features that other brands have.
Skullcandy headsets are not capable of noise cancellation, which has become a popular feature. The Skullcandy in-ear earbuds are great for sport use and casual listening, but the headsets have suffered due to the lack of noise cancellation.
Logitech
Logitech is a well-known tech brand that also produces headsets. These headsets have seen a major boost in popularity due to the number of people that have been forced to work from home via Zoom.
These headsets are not bulky like some of the other gaming headsets that are on this list. A Logitech headset has a slim design and features a microphone that you can use for Zoom calls when working from home. These headphones are also not very flashy, so they are great to use in a business setting.
Conclusion
There are many other headset brands in the market, and many of those other headset brands produce products like the ones on this list. The headset market is very similar, and you may find a brand that you like that is not “popular”. The headset you purchase should depend on your budget and what you are using it for.
