I just tested audiophile brand FiiO’s first-ever gaming headset — and for just $69, it ticks almost all the boxes

A black FiiO FG3 gaming headset.

It was only a matter of time before FiiO, known for making some of the best headphones for audiophiles on a budget, entered the gaming headset market — and the FiiO FG3 is almost a triumph. Priced at just $69, the FG3 is mighty cheap. It’s also comfortable, and its wired-only plug-and-play design makes it compatible with a range of consoles and devices. You also get extensive customization and finetuned EQ presets, too.

But there’s some room for improvement. Though it boasts good mic performance and it’s great for listening to music, the FG3’s default sound profile sounds muddy and needs tweaking. Build quality isn’t the best either, and the wired-only design might not be for everyone.
