Why Buy Gaming Headphone?
So, there are lot of reason that you might want to buy gaming headphones instead of the traditional ones.
Gaming headphones are made with gaming first in mind and this comes with a lot of advantages especially for gamers.
The sound drivers in these headphones are tweaked to provide further clarity to the voices that are in game and the minor sounds such as footsteps and distant gun sounds are kind of emphasized more than other sounds.
Drivers used in these headphones are usually large with some even having 50 mm drivers enabling a wider range of frequencies to be heard.
Another thing to note is the reduced latency in gaming headphones but as long as they are wired.
Best Gaming Headphones Under Rs 1000 in India
All that out of the way let’s get on with the best picks.
1. Cosmic Byte Spider
Cosmic byte is one of the major brands that competes in the budget gaming headphone space and they have a lot of offerings.
Cosmic byte spider is the most expensive budget offering from the company and it comes with additional features to justify the price.
The sound signature is better than the other cosmic byte offerings. The driver size is at 40mm and the sound signature is tweaked to be balanced all around. There is still an emphasis on the bass but it is more precise and doesn’t overpower other aspects of the sound.
Microphone is adjustable in all angles and can be positioned to our liking. There is also an additional LED lighting element in the spider that is not present on the other offerings from the company.
But for the lights to work you will need to connect it via USB but for other functions you can connect the headphone via single 3.5mm jack. This make’s not quite ideal for mobile gamers.

Gaming Headphone VS Normal Headphone
Normal headphones have pretty much the same baseline specifications as the gaming headphones but the tweaks and additional features are what make the gaming headphones different.
For starters as the sound signature on gaming headphones is much more emphasized on the smaller details such as the footsteps and distant gunshots.
The Bass response is also more emphasized to be richer and deeper to provide a more immersive surround sound like experience. Bass heads might like this but for those users who prefer a flat sound signature might be better off with normal headphones as the bass could be quite overwhelming.
And there are RGB’s in some of the offering which gamers would appreciate.
Another inherent advantage going for gaming headphones over normal headphones is the fact that the microphones in the former is much better than the later.
The underlying technology is pretty similar but the position of the microphone is ideal as it is very close to the mouth and is adjustable to our liking.
This directly results in much better voice reception and if you plan on streaming gaming headphones are a much better option than the regular ones.

Do You Need Any Other Accessories?
Accessories for a headphone makes the experience better but almost all of these budget headphones come with all the essential features inbuilt and you don’t need any separate accessories.
But if you don’t have a headphone jack on your phone you might need accessories such as dongles.
If you are going to use separate microphone and headphone or if your headphone has separate inputs for microphone and audio then you will need a splitter to combine both inputs.
Likewise, if you have older PC’s that require separate audio and microphone input then you might have to buy 3.5mm to audio and microphone adapters.
