     Wired vs wireless gaming headset: which should you get?

So much of what makes PC games outstanding is their sound design, and so it's only fitting that we should pay credence to this oft-overlooked art with the best gaming headset to listen in more carefully. For a very long time, wired headsets were our only option, and perhaps in our ignorance, we found bliss without the paralysis of choice. Fortunately, we now live in a time when wireless gaming headsets exist. But it's not as simple as saying that wireless cans are always better, or as easy as just picking one or the other because you love cables or you don't.

In this guide, we'll compare wired vs wireless gaming headsets to help you decide which is right for you when playing and working.

     Is BattleBit down? Current server status

     Is BattleBit free?

The single most interesting thing you could tell me about Final Fantasy 16 is that it will have actually good combat. One of the developers has just said that, as of course they would, but not just any dev: we're talking about Devil May Cry 5 design lead Ryota Suzuki, who's dubbed FF16's sword-slinging his "personal masterpiece".

I don't take that at face value, but it has given me my first pangs of regret over selling my PS5. Those who didn't sell their PS5 for travel money get to play in a few days, while PC players are in for an indefinitely long wait.
