Placing the driver at an angle instead of flat against the ear brings the geometry closer to a speaker aimed at you. That improves front-back directional perception without any processing, which is exactly the information you want when you're working out which side footsteps are coming from.
With 120 h over 2.4 GHz and up to 200 h on Bluetooth, you charge it once every few weeks of play. If you use the same headset for gaming, classes and music, that's the difference between thinking about the charging cable and never thinking about it again.
64 ohms is higher than the typical 32 and gives the headset's own amplifier a bit more control, while the high sensitivity means it reaches plenty of volume without straining. Translated: you can turn it up to hear distant footsteps without the sound getting muddy.

Fields with no data show as “—”: it means neither Amazon nor the manufacturer publishes that figure. We'd rather leave it empty than estimate it.
Very capable: 2.4 GHz with no perceptible delay and angled drivers that help with localisation. It sits a step below the Logitech and the Razer on detail and microphone, but it costs considerably less and for most ranks it's more than enough.
Comfortable, light for its size and with battery for the whole weekend. In a game where audio is secondary, comfort and runtime are precisely what you notice.
It's the best fit for marathon sessions: 120 hours, big memory-foam earpads and good isolation. For hours on a server it's the most practical of the three.
The best value of the trio for varied use: a good microphone for chat, Bluetooth for your phone or tablet, and battery life that avoids the mid-match drama.
Ideal for: Someone who wants a comfortable wireless headset and to forget about charging it, with good competitive audio but without paying the premium tier.
This is the headset with the most consistent reviews of the three: comfort over six to eight hour sessions, battery life that surprises people, and good perceived quality for the price. It's frequently mentioned as working equally well for work and online classes. The recurring gripe is having to switch manually between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth.
